JURORS OFFER
MANY FUNNY
EXCUSES
Police Court Quota Secured
After Judge SchuIdt Has
Fill of Laughing

AT the selection Of the jury yester-
day by Judge Schuldt for the ensuing
term In Police Court, the usual
amount Of comedy and effort was
required in choosing twenty-six men
from the three score summoned.
Judge Schuldt declares that more
asinine reasons are offered by
those trying to escape serving than
can be imagined.
Among those who were excused
today was Charles W. Ingalls,, an
employee of the Weather Bureau,
whom the court allowed to go after
he had guaranteed that no more
punk weather would be foisted on
slush-wallowing citizens.
Charles w. Halter, proprietor Of
University, told the judge he was
afraid he would not be able to keep
awake during the trials, due to the
hours he kept in his place of bust
ness. He was promptly excused.
A hearty laugh was enjoyed by
the court at the expense of Roy
L. Williford, whJ asked exemption
or the grounds of deafness. He
could hardly catch d word spoken
until the judge whispered in a low
voice that he was excused. The
alacrity he showed in making his
exit brought a guffaw from the
other jurors and the judge. who
had him brought back until a COM
plement was gotten. Williford was
eventually excused.
