ON ACTION OF JUDGE

Suffer as Result of Justices
Discharge of Jury.

The action Of Justice Stafford in
Criminal Division in discharging
panel of IL jurors serving in that court
for failure to give due consideration to
the evidence adduced at a trial last
Friday of a colored woman charged
with dope selling. was made the ba sis
today of a petition by Attorney Abner
Siegal for postponement Of two cases
Of grand larceny against Merle Taylor,
scheduled to be tried today. The Of
tending jurors had rendered a verdict
Of acquittal after very brief consid-
GRAFTON of the case in the jury room.
Siegal in his petition charged that
the dismissal Of the jurors had the ef-
feet Of intimidating the men remain
ing on the panel of the court, and sub
iected them to fear that they, too, will
be summarily and arbitrarily dis
charged unless they returned verdicts
Of guilty.
The court granted a continuance Of
the cases until March 10, but made no
comment on the petition. A new jury
will be empaneled before that date.
The Il men whose services were dis
DenSed with for the remainder of the
month are: Fred Alber, NJ. E. Anent,
Norman F. Brown, Richard L. Conner.
Frank X. Davis, Oscar E. DietZ, J. B.
Edlin, Carl Egolf, Charles Ehlman,

HELEN WILLS BEATEN
IN STRAIGHT SETS
IN DRAMATIC CLASH
Continued from First Page.)

Never was a tennis match disputed
under such extraordinary conditions.
The spectators applauded and cheered
as though witnessing a stirring prize
fight.
Suzanne several times stopped play
and turned to the stands, saying
Please don't" She also pleaded
with the people who clung to the
roofs of a garage and house over
| looking the court to make less noise
during the rallies.
The match was a heartbreaking
affair, lasting full hour. with both
girls playing a soft-strokinS game
and doing a lot of running.
Suzanne had never been kept so
busy on the courts than during the
second SET when she was on the
defensive the greater part OF the
time.
Miss Wills appeared more nervous
than the French girl. giving away
the first game on four errors. She
rallied, however. and won her serT-
ice. making 1T one-an.
Then taking heart. she broke
through Suzanne's service for the
third game. The French champion
then got fairly started and took the
next three in a row, the first two
at love.
Helen Won the seventh. but Suzanne
ran out the set with the next two,
the last one a deuce game.
The score OF the set was Go.
Suxanne's Plea Amuses.
After her temporary nervousness OF
the first game, Miss Wills looked on
with an amused smile when Susanne
asked the crowd for order.
Both girls were on the verge or eX-
haustion when the match ended, but
Suzanne, flushed with victory, recup-
Grated quickly and remained on the
courts for several minutes. almost Dur

through a little side gate, refusing to
say a word to any one. Charles +.
Aeschlimann, husband Of the former
Leslie Bancroft, took Miss Wills away
in his automobile.
Even to this close friend, all she
would say was: There will be other
tennis matches. There are other years
coming"
The second set was most dramatic.
Miss Wills started by winning her
service game at love. She took the
next after deuce had been called, and
then the third.
Suzanne Uses Cognac.
Suzanne began to cough, placed a
, hand over her heart and stepped to
| the side lines, where she took a long
draught of cognac with water.

girl won the next three games, even

Bearcreek won its game from Jol-
let Friday night by score of 20 to 16
The game was hard fought and many
times it looked as though the Joliet
boys would tie the score. Freeman
started the scoring for Bearcreek in
the early part of the first quarter
with field goal, but Klampe of Joliet
followed few seconds later with a
held goal from past the center line.
He was by far the mainstay of the
visiting team with his dribbling and
shooting. The half ended 9 to 2. In
the second half the Joliet boys came
back strong, and before the local BOYS
could get started they had brought
their standing up to 10 while Bear
creek had only moved two. This made
the score II to 10. Then Bonovich
shot his free throw and Freeman fol-
owed with basket. Bearcreek hard
ly failed to score but what Joliet
would follow. In the last quarter the
boys seemed to be determined and
brought their score to 20 while Jol-
let got score of Is. The game end
ed after few minutes of hard battle
and Bearcreek had won 20 to Is. The
crowd danced until 10 o'clock after
the game. Music was furnished by
Art Soulsby, Gladys Rue and Mrs.
Frank Johnson.
