VOTEJUS7'
William J. O'NeiIl Complains U.
S. Agents Were Put
Upon His Trail.

Should a citizen be dismissed
from jury service because he
votes to acquit man charged
with bootlegging?
Should juries empaneled to
hear bootlegging cases be chosen
In such manner as to make con-
viction almost certain?
These are some of the ques-
tions that have been raised by
lawyers and laymen since Judge
Hardison, of Police Court, last
Monday sent for William j.
O'Neill and excused him from
further jury service.
Voted for Acquittal.
"1'm glad you are going; maybe
we can get some convictions now,
Frank J. Kelley, assistant district
=. attorney, in charge of bootleg
prosecutions, told O'Neill when he
heard of the courts act.
No sooner had he left the court,
O'Neill said today, than Department
OF Justice agents were put on his
trail.
They have been investigating me
in the neighborhood of my home
and in and about the Electric Sani
tary Laundry, where l am in
charge" O'Neill said.
Il was originally called for a
three months term as a juror
Most of the men called asked to
be excused. l did not. After sery
ing only one month, 1 was sent
for by Judge Hardison and informed
that l was excused. l asked II he
meant for that day. He said
was excused for the term, but of.
fered no explanation"
ONeill will today ask the Depart.
ment of Justice what prompted
their investigation and what course
they expect to take.
During his month on the police
court jury. O'Neill sat in five
cases. There We're two convictions
and three acquittals.
''In each case where I voted fer
acquittal, there were from one Ia
three others who voted with me
so l was not alone" Mr.. O'Neill
said.
I'VE We're called on to sit in n
traffic case. A man was up for
speeding. The defendant said he
had no speedometer. The traffic
officer said he timed the man and
that he attained a speed of thirty
miles.

HENDERSON SHOT
IN NIGHT BATTLE
BETWEEN POLICE

As a result of mistaken identity in
the dark last night, Police Officer
Henderson of the FL Centre department
is in the hospital, shot in the foot,
and it is only by good luck that two
or more officers are not seriously
wounded or possibly killed.
Word was received at police head
quarters about $3.50 that two Mexicans
had held up and robbed two men in
Imperial, and the robbers were seen
heading in the direction of El Centre.
Officers Bogue and Henderson started
a search for the robbers and worked
their way up toward the railroad tracks
in the north end. Near Euclid avenue
crossing they saw two men approaching
whom they took for the bandits. Bogue
flashed his light and ordered them to
halt, while both he and Henderson
drew their guns.
The other two also drew guns and
started to fire at the Officers, both of
whom dropped behind the ditch bank,
where one of the flying bullets hit
Henderson in the foot. Bogue called
out that he was an officer, and one of
the other men yelled, $50 am /. -
They came forward and introduced
themselves as Marshal Heating of I'M
perial and his son Hugh, the latter be-
ing one of the men who were held up.
They had started for Ell Centre on the
trail of the robbers, and had taken
Bogue and Henderson for their quarry.
Both had seen the local officers draw
their guns, and started shooting, think
ing the supposed robbers We're trying
to get the jump on them.
Henderson was taken to the Ell Cen
tro hospital, where an Xray examina-
tion this morning revealed the bullet
still in his foot, and it will be removed
by operation. Henderson is resting
comfortably, thanking his stars he is
patient instead of corpse. Officer
Bogue in his report to police headquar-
ters remarked that it took nine shots
for the officers to become acquainted.
AS far as he is concerned, he desires
no further introductions of this kind.
