COURT CULLS OUT
DOUBTFUL JURORS
Gee Gong Trial Postponed Until
New Working Panel Is
Completed

When Gee Gong, accused of the. MUIR
der of zee Yut Wo, is again brought
to trial, his jury will be chosen from
an entirely new panel. Resent develop
ments tending to prove that there was
an attempt made to bribe members of
the last jury that tried the Chinese
slayer, as well as the ugly implications
that followed the disagreement of the
Conboy jury, have caused Judge Dunno
to exercise exceptional care In the Sc
lection of the working jury panel taken
from the big box for duty in his
department. this year.
The trial of Gee Gong was to have
started yesterday, but a continuance
was taken until tomorrow because the
new panel has not yet been chosen.
Fifty talesmen from this years jury
list were summoned into court yester-
day from which the working jury panel
OF the department might be chosen The
great care taken by Judge Dunno in
choosing citizens for jury duty is shown
by the fact that of the 40 who attended
court only Is were definitely chosen to
serve. Some We're rejected for ILL
ness and other statutory reasons, and
some because the judge was not salts
fed to have them on his regular panel
One talesman Judge Dunno openly
referred to as a ringer in rejecting
him. The names of those not retained
were returned to the big box so
that they are still available for duty
in other departments of the superior
court.
Seventy other talesmen We're
afterward drawn from the box and
cited to appear tomorrow morning.
From these the judge Will, if possible,
complete his working panel of jurors.
AS soon as this is accomplished the Sc
lection from the panel of Il men to try
Gee Gong will proceed
