VEN|REMEN CHANGE
EXPECTED HERE
List of Eligibles for Jury Duty
will Be Altered by
New Sheriff.

The list of eligibles for grand
and petit jruy service in Atlantic
county, in course. of preparation
for use at the drawing of grand
and petit juries for the January
term, is expected to show sweeping
changes from its present person
mel.
The change in administration OF
the sherrifs office naturally car
ries a variance of ideas regarding
eligibles for jury service, but the
fact that the percentage of acquit-
tails in criminal trials during the
past year or more has been very
high is believed to have a big in
fluence toward revision of the list.
Sheriff James Cimino has not
indicated publicly that he is in any
way dissatisfied with the jury lists,
but the belief is prevalent that the
petit venire at least will eliminate

Refusing to grant requests for

The court further denied the
petition of Mrs. Browning's law

in the suits was in court but each
was represented by several attor-

sons, who had repeatedly threat
ened her" he said.
