MISSING JUROR
Gets $50
fine

George L. Voith, of the $500 block
Illinois Avenue, who confessed that
four drinks of liquor caused him to
forget that he was serving on a
jury engaged in the trial of a Grim.
inal case Tuesday, was fined $50 to-
day by Justice Siddons, with an op.
ton of Is days in jail
Voith had been accepted on a Jury
Monday and excused until the fol.
lowing morning. On Tuesday morn.
ing, however, he was absent at roll
call and deputy marshals were de.
tailed to comb the city for him.
Justice Siddons, in imposing SEN
tence, said Voith's contrition and the
fact that Voith would probably suf-
fer in another direction was taken
into consideration in fixing a light
penalty.
Justice SiddOns was referring to
the rumOr that VOith probably will
lose his position with a coal company
and that his fiancee had hung up the
telephone receiver on him when
VOith called her Thursday after the
jury had been DISCHARGED.
Voith was represented today by
Attorneys Burnett and Kelly, who
had asked the court to allow Voith
tn submit himself to the courts dis
position without being ruled formally
in contempt. This was the proce-
dure followed by the court which
made it possible to impose fine in
stead of mandatory Jail sentence.

STAPLES ASKS
QUICK RULING

With his counsel, Representative
Thomas L. Blanton, in Texas, seek
ing a seat in the Senate, Police
man Orville Staples, recently found
guilty by the Police Trial Board
on numerous charges, has taken
his case into his own hands.
After his conviction by the trial
board, where he was represented
by Blanton an appeal from the find
ings of the board was filed with
the District Commissioners. Suisse
quently. a voluminous brief was
filed.
Staples, seeking to get speedy
action, late yesterday personally
called on Commissioner Proctor L.
DoughertY to ask for an early de-
cision in his case.
DauGherty assured Staples that the
Commissioners will move as rapidly
as possible in the matter and would
reach a decision as soon as they
have time in which to complete a
reading of the transcript of the trial
and the brief.
Because of the extreme length of
the document the end of the reading
probably will not be reached before
the middle of next week.
