The jury. commission of Tensas
parish met at st. Joseph on Wednes-
day and drew the grand jury for the
criminal term of court, called for
June 9Th, and the petit jury for the
18th and for the goth. The last grand
and petit jury having been quashed
because Of irregularity in the draw
ing, the commissioners exercised
greatest care in the selection this
time, witnesses being kept on the job
through the entire drawing, lasting
from 10 o'clock a. m. until about s
o'clock p. m. The law required that
400 names be selected and placed in
the box for the drawing, and as the
qualified juror must have lived in
the parish at least one year prior to
being drawn, the work of finding so
many men of that minimum residence
was not easy, and forced the COM
missioners to put on their thinking
caps. But the work was finally COM
pleted and done so perfectly that
we don't believe "a Philadelphia
lawyer" as the saying is, could find
4 flaw in the drawing Of this jury.
List for the anticipated three weeks
court appears elsewhere.
