The trial of Richard W. Allnutt has been
postponed until the November term of
court in this county. When the case was

previous understanding. this was the con-

bench said that after mature deliberation
and consultation with his colleagues on
the bench he had decided that the petit
jury of the March term, which had been
recalled to try this case. was not, under
the law, authorized to take such action.
lnasmuch as the deed was committed in
March and the indictment found by the
March grand jury. the case came under its
jurisdiction for limited time. Now that
the June non-jury term of court has been
called, the judge contended that the March
jury must have been finally discharged and
that it is not competent to sit in this case.
