Origin Of Jury System
Attributed to Peoples
of European Countries

The exact origin of the jury system
is not known with certainty, 1t having
been attributed to different European
peoples which at an early period de-
veloped methods of trial somewhat
similar to the early jury trials In Eng
land. Trial by battle was cast I'm the
background by the Norman conquer
ors when the Norman Institution OF
recognition by sworn inquest was
adopted. The Curia Regis, or Kings
court, directed the sheriff to select
four knights Of the county by whom
IL knights were selected to serve as
recognitors. After being duly sworn
they inquired into the facts Of inter-
est to the new rulers of England which
might be subject to public inquiry,
such as matters affecting taxation.
Suitors in cases affecting the title
of real estate, as early as the reign
Of Henry II, 1854 to 1889, applied to
the kings court for recognitors whose
verdict, II unanimous, was accepted
as conclusive.
Originally the jury was selected be-
cause Of their knowledge Of the peo-
pie, locality and customs and thereby
passing upon the facts from a more
intimate knowledge Of them. During
the reign Of Henry Nv, the jury was
instructed to Judge the facts upon the
evidence submitted to 1t, which is the
single function of the jury Of modern
practice.-Kansas City Star.

Hartford, Dec 15-"f wartime phoribition is constitutional shall con- tinue to enforce it without fear or favor as 1 have been doing" This was the statement today of James J. Walsh, U. s. internal revenue col lector for the Connecticut district when informed of the decision as in- dicating that congress has the power to define the meaning of intoxicating beverages" as containing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol.
 Liquor in bond cannot be with drawn, save for medicinal or sacra- ment purposes, he said. Then per mits must be granted by the collector. He thought it unlikely that the vets would have a brief respite before the national amendment goes into effect January 16. If there is a wet" in terval, he added, liquor may be with drawn from bond before January 16 and taken out of the country into territory not within the jurisdiction of the United States. John C. Long, president of the Hart ford retail liquor dealers association, said, when informed of the decision:
 That means close up. We've been keeping open at loss expecting a de- cision to the contrary"

SUPREME COURT UPHOIDS PROHIBITIOl I'D WILL NOT COME OFF FOR HOLIDAY
DETECTIVE SUED
 IN AUTO THEFT CASE
X: J. Richardson, One of Parties in Action for Recovery of Car and
 $1,OOO Damages

Detective Sergeant Andrew J. Rich ardson has been named a party in a suit brought by the Firemen's Fund Insurance company to replevin car alleged to have been stolen more than year ago in Brocton, Mass, and to recover s1,0Oo damages to the car.
 Charles Geideraitis, in whose pos session the car was found and who purchased it in good faith from the supposed owner, is the other defend ant in the litigation. w. c. Hunger ford is the local agent of the com- pany. and Attorney Morris D. Sake has been retained by the defendants to present their case. The case is re- turnable before the city court on the first Monday in January.
 The car was originally the prop erty of the Hendley-Kimball company of Boston, dealers in autom obiles. While the car was in their possession insurance papers were issued by the Bremen Fund company. The Hend- ley-Kim ball Co. sold the car con ditionally to John Novat in June, 1918, and while it was in his posses sion it was stolen. Subsequently, the local man purchased the automobile for S1,500. For more than a year he has had it in his possession, little sus- pecting it to be stolen property. The insurance company investigators traced the automobile with the result ing suit. .'.. ... X
 Attorney SaXe was unable to explain how the local policeman was involved in the suit, but it is believed that his connections with the recovery of the car may have resulted in his implica- ton as a technicality.
