JUDGE WILkIN 0vERRULES
MOTION TO QuASH
Indictment OF STRIKERS
Gives Attorney General Opportunity to
File Additional Evidence in Record
and Permits Defense to Answer
Hearing Monday, June 18th.

Judge Wilkin late Saturday night
over-ruled the motion to quash the
indictments Of the men charged with
first degree murder because of the
killing Of william King at Chandler.
The defense had based its motion on
the alleged fact that 300 names
should under the law be drawn for
the jury box when. IL contended as
matter OF fact that there were
only 200 names drawn by the coun-
ty commissioners for the Jury box.
The defense further contended that
these 200 men were all land own
ers, and certified as such by the
county commissioners and that this
was a discrimination against tax
payers and was class distinction.
Judge wiikin personally investiga-
ted the matter and found out that
there were at least twenty-five who
were not land owners and that a
considerable number Of the two hun
dred we're not taxpayers other than
poll tax.
Judge wnkin. in his opinion. said:
Il have to deny this motion. with
leave to the district attorney and
the attorney general to put in the
record . statement OF the true facts
respecting the matters that have
been suggested. that are referred to
in the motion. that are subject to
be controverted. The matter in
controversy was in reference to the
allegation Of the defense that all of
the men drawn for the jury duty by
county commissioners were land
owners. It was imputed by the de-
tense that there was unfairness in
the selection OF the jury because
they alleged that the certificate
made out by the county commission
ers stated that they had selected
from a certain class in discrimi-
nation for grand jury duty.
Judge wiIkin Investigates
Judge wilkin stated that he had
had the clerk of the court investi-
gate. with the aid OF the assessor.
as TO whether all of the men return
ed in the jury list were freeholders
or not and the fact appears to be
that there are at least twenty-five
who are no, freeholders. and n very
considerable number pay no tax ex-
oopt the poll tax. They are not
even taxpayers"
This point was not brought ou; by
the attorneys for the people and TO
set the record right. Judge wilkin
gave them permission to put II in
the record. Attorney Hawkins stat
ed that there is no such ruling
permitted by the laws OF the land.
that your honor will sustain demur-
rer in part and over-rule 1t in part:
that your honor must either sustain
or overruie the demurrer.
My understanding is II you sus-
tain the demurrer. there Is an end
OF the question. I want to get Il
fairly in the record. there is an end
OF the matter: theer is no evidence
to be introduced by anybody. II
you overrule the demurrer. then
the people must reply to the plea
which has been pleaded. or the mo-
ton which Is treated as a plea.
And IL they answer. the answer
which they nie must bs such answes
~ they plead the fAcss are. II they
- an ansyer our contsntion 10 tha.

10 evidence upon both sides and not
alone upon the part OF the district
attorney. II your honor says you
will let him put into record such
matters as will make the record
straight, we must have the same op-
portunity TO introduce evidence as
well as the other. and l submit the
logic OF the ruling must be either
sustaining the demurrer or overrul-
ing the demurrer"
Mr.. Hawkins Suggestion Right
Judge wilkin stated that he had
felt all along that the suggestion
made by Mr.. Hawkins was really
right. After some discussion Of
the matter the court made the fol-
lowing ruling in the matter: The
demurrer to the motion to quash. or
plea In abatement In which the de-
PENDANTS all Join will be overruled
with leave TO plead over to the mo-
tion TO auash or plea in abatement"
The attorneys for the people are
to file their answer by Tuesday and
the defense by Saturday. The mat
ter will then come up for hearing
on Monday. June 18th.
Judge wilkin In his opiniin in ref
erence to the -defsnse's allegations
that all the men selected for Jury
duty were freeholders said: Tho
statute does not say anything about
freehoiders or the eligibility of frec-
holders or the Qualification Of being
n freehoider as necessary quaiih-
cation or Of being a freeholder as n
necessary qualincatiin Of Juror,
not at all.
The Number Of Jurors
Now as to the point Of the
number of jurors returned on the
list In connection with the provis-
ions of the statute that have been
quoted here. there Is another provis-
ion which. I know, counsel are fam
liar with but which has not been
mentioned. which is that at the con-
clusion of the jury business for the
term II is the duty Of the clerk OF
court to make up and send back to
the county commissioners a list OF
those who had been certified as jur-
ors who have actually served as ju-
rors during the term and also n list
ot those whose names have been re-
turned for jury service and who have
not been called on and whose names
are stiil in the box. so that the box
is empty; and the requirement OF
the statute as to those who have not
been drawn and who have not been
called for service and whose names
remain In the box until the end OF
the term. the provision OF the stat
ute is that their names shall be
put back upon the list thai the
county commissioners make out to
send to the clerk Of the district
court. in order that they may not
be deprived OF their privilege TO
serve as Jurors.
Now IL seems apparent from
these provisions. taken together that
the purpose OF naming the number
is that there shall be enough. n
In apparent that II the number in
not enough. that the statute provij-
o. that the court shall mot be
without jury.
-n1fAsr the clerk oe the court. or
the court iasslf BY proper order. may
demand Of the county commissioner
