NO CRIMINAL
CASES SOON
District Court Jury Excused for
Awhile and Motions in
Civil Cases Occupy
Court.

The petit jury was excused in the
district court yesterday by Judge
Hamilton until further notice.
The panel was too short to start
on the criminal cases, and Judge
Hamilton said that under present
conditions it does not seem wise to
summon witnesses and to hold jury
trials. So he excused the jury for
the present, and the criminal cases
were passed over by agreement until
later in the term.
a number of motions were pre-
sented and argued before the court
yesterday, referring particularly to
civil cases which were today assigned
for trial, at such time as the jury
shall be recalled.
