NINE JUDGES ID
 TRY JAIL CASES
In Effort to Clear Jail Judges to Sit In Criminal
 Division

During the last week of the present term of court all divisions of the circuit court civil as we'll as crimin- al, will be devoted to the trial of criminal cases.
 This will be done in an effort to clean up the congested condition of the criminal docket and go toward emptying the county jails before tho courts enter upon their summer Na- cations. The week beginning June 20 has been designated and nine judges will be grinding out criminal cases during the entire period.
 Several days ago Solicitor Joseph II. Tate suggested that several weeks of court be held this summer in an effort to relieve the congested com dition of the dockets and the crowded condition of the Jail. However, the plan of having all judges try crim- inal cases is expected to obviate the necessity of any court being held this summer.
 With the exception of the chancel- Tor every judge in the civil division will aid in clearing the criminal docket.
 Forney Brandon, clerk of tho criminal court, has received instruc- tions to set for trial all cases of de- fendants now in jail. In addition to Judge William F. Fort and Judge H. P. Hefln, the regular judges of the criminal division, there will be Judge A: B. Foster or -Troy who is assist ing during this month in the crim- inal division of the circuit court Judge Dan A. Greene, Judge Romaine Boyd, Judge c. B. Smith, Judge J. e. Smith, Judge Richard Evans and Judge J. B. Aird.
 There are now 175 prisoners in the county jail but 1t is pointed out that some of these arc being held TOT the United States government and others to answer misdemeanor charges in the Jefferson county court of miSdemeanors.
