Juries Drawn.

The trial of Robert g. Crow, former

violation of the civil service laws. will
be one of the most important cases on
the docket of the United States Dis
trict Court which will convene in the
Cape Monday, April 10.
Grow is charged with having aided
a relative in obtaining 4 position
through competitive civil service cx-
animation. He recently was dis
charged from the United States army
which he Joined following his disap-
pearance from Charlottesville and is
now living at home with his family.
He came to the Cape i few days ago
and gave bond for his appearance in
court before U. S. Commissioner
Rage.
Several other minor cases will be
presented to the court and it IS antici-
pated that several bankruptcy cases
will be closed
The Grand Jurors and petit jurors
have been drawn for this term of the
court.
With the announcement of the
new Grand jury it became known that
the October Grand jury, which was
dismissed subject to the call Of the
United States attorney, had considered
the indictments of several of the
might riders who were prosecuted in
the circuit courts of New Madrid and
Dunklin counties this winter.
The evidence that was offered by
United States Secret Service men to
the Grand Jury was insufficient for re-
turning true bills against the might
riders and they were held over in
the belief that the Federal officers
would gain enough additional evidence
to make the cases against them hold
up for conspiracy. The prosecution in
the State courts interviewed, however,
and the Federal officers allowed the
matter to drop.
