FOREMAN Of JURY
DRAWN FOR PROBE
George Hyslop to Investi-
gate Case in Which He
Served as Juror.

George Hyslop of this city was
drawn late Thursday to serve on the
grand jury which is to investigate the
alleged bribery of the jury which ac-
quilted McLain Cooper on a murder
charge three years ago of which

The name of Hyslop was the nine
teenth taken from the receptacle at
the drawing Thursday afternoon.
There is no doubt that he is a legal
member of the grand jury according
to States Attorney o. B. Burtness.
The state law on the calling of
grand juries provides. however. among
the grounds on which a grand juror
may be challenged, "a state of mind
wards either party in the case, such
as to prevent his acting impartially
and without prejudice to the substan-
tial rights Of the challenging party"
Hyslop will probably be challenged
on this ground by the state, as it is
believed that his having served on
the jury whose actions are being
probed, would supposedly affect his
feelings towards the case in the man.
