Oversight Will Tie Up

Two Weeks.

Because rho Bexar jury wheel was
drawn contrary TO law, necessitatine

Bexar district and county courts,
where juries are required. also viii
cease to function for ten days or two

MOTION SUSTAINED.
This situation developed Tuesday ss
the result of a law point raised by @,
r. Black. attorney for Briscoc, when
he succeeded in having the Briscoe
venire OF $50 men quashed on tho
ground that the jury wheel had BEEN
filled from names drawn from tn,
poll lax list instead of the property
tax list.
Judge w. ". McCrory of tbs
Nincry-fourth District Court where
Briscoe's case had been called, sus-
tanned the motion after an hours
conference with the other four dis
trict judges.

that they would give out a written
decision at > o'clock. But Judge Nc
Crory's action. Immediately following
the conference, is taken to mean thai
they held the jury wheel TO have beer
illegally filled.
This will mean that no jury cases
| can be tried until the wheel is r.
filled. The law provides that jury
wheels shall be filled between August
1 and IL, but further provides thar
they can be filled at any time subse-
quently where any illegality exists.
The district judges must sign an ordrr
directing that it be refilled.

This development, however. Dis
trict Attorney c. NJ. Chambers said,
