LEAP YEAR
CPL JUROR

Here's the leap year girl juror
she's unmarried. While women
have sat on juries in King county
since last October. they have been
heretofore married women and
widows--prass and otherwise.
But the first girl Juror came right
after New Years day, when the
courts began their 1912 grind. Jan
uary 2. Not until this morning,
however. did she actually get drawn
on jury.
The distinction OF being the first
girl Juror belongs to Grace Hem
menway, who is otherwise known
to fame as the sister OF Merton
Hemmenway, the crack baseball
player, who got his start behind the
bat for the old Seattle high school
team, which he captained on Its
tour around the country. Miss
Hommenway Is stenographer. She
lives at 1o2 Hays 81. Her first case
is on n $4,000 claim for damages
by an injured coal miner, which is
being tried before Judge Gay.
