lthe italicized position of this quota Ition the court plainly limited the extent of the application of the idoctrine in that decision. It appears
 rom the decision that the defend ant relied on Section PIT of District Iof Columbia, the pertinent parts of
 which are as follows:
 "All executive and judicial off, cers, salaried officers of the United States and of the District of Colum- bia shall be exempt from jury duty and their names shall not be placed in the jury lists"
 There is no provision in any of the laws of the Territory of Alaska forbidding placing upon the jury lists the names of persons who are exempt from service nor, as to jur- DTS generally, exempting from ser vice all employees of the United States.
 The only provisions of the code of Alaska eXempting from liability to act as a grand juror are contained in Section 2121, the provisions of which do not extend so far as to include all employees of the United States The second subdivision of that section exempts any civil off cer of the United States whose dut- lets are at the time INCONSIST- ENT WITH HIS ATTENDANCE as a juror The seventh subdivision If that section exempts an acting ncn- commission ed officer, musl- ,ian or private of military or ganlzation duly enrolled in the ser 1ice of the United States or of said District. Ii does nor appear tIlnC

Walter G. Culver is included ir either of these exempt classes.
 So far as I am aware it has always been held by the courts of Alaska that the provisions of Section 2121 were for the bene- fit of the person summoned to serve as a grand juror, and that if he did not claim exemption he was not disqualified from ser vice.
 Tn the Griffith case the court devoted much of it's time to showing that the provisions of Section PIT supra were applic- able alike to grand and petit jurors, and concluded that they were so applicable.
 Tn the Code of Alaska the pro- visions governing the selection of grand and petit jurors are kept distinctly separate There is no such general provision relating to jurors as in said Section PIT. It is true that there is provision as to trial jurors which makes the existance of the relation of employer and employee between a trial juror and party to the case on trial the ground for a challenge for implied bias. That provision is clearly limited to trial jurors and in my opinion has no application to a grand juror. Furthermore, a defendent must interpose a challenge on that ground or the juror may serve on the trial Implied bias is not absolute disqualification.
 I am not unmindful of the
Seward daily gateway., 1929-06-21

fact that in the Griffith case the court discussed and applied the common law of Maryland. am
 inclined to think that the part of their opinion was mere dic- Jtum. Certainly that discussion was
 limited to the common law of
 Maryland
 Since I must hold that there is no statute in Alaska under the provisions of which Walter G. Culver is disqualified from acting as a grand juror, I will consider whether the general pro- visions of the law forbid his acting in that capacity. The most that can be urged by req son of his employment against his serving as a grand juror is that the party defendent might challenge him for implied bias if he were chosen as a trial juror Actual bias on the part of a grand juror against a person being in vestigated by the grand jury has been held nor to dis qualify the grand juror.

MANY KILLED
WHEN MEXICO
TRAIN RAIDED
Bandit Bands Slay
Passengers After
Wrecking Cars On
Michoacan Line

MEXICO CITY, Feb. I6.-(PD-Sur-
vivors OF train attack in which as
many as 25 or so may have perished
we're en- route today 10 Mexico City
from Yurecuaro, Michoacan, near
where the attack occurred.
News Of the attack is carried in
Mexico City newspapers today in
special dispatches from Guadalajara
and Zamora. The Guadalajara dis
patches to Excelsior say the entire
military escort Of the train-usually
between 80 and 50-and its engineer
and fireman were killed.
Zsmora dispatches to FL Universal
merely say "some of the passengers,
some Of the crew, and some soldiers
perished."
The train, proceeding from Reyes
to Yurecuaro, from where IL was 70
20 to Mexico City. was dynamited be-
tween the stations OF Moreno and
Guarachita. Insurgents then attacked
il, the escort fighting until its am
munition gave out. The attackers
then burned the train.
The Zamora dispatches said al
though the engineer and fireman
were killed in the explosion, men,
bers of the crew detached the loco
motive from the coaches and, taking
some passengers with them, ran 1t
through the insurgents lines To Ia
mora, and later TO Yurecuaro.
The entire garrison at Zamora was
sent in pursuit of the insurgents.
The raid was reputedly led BY
General Gorostieta, who during the
regime Of Victoriano Huerta, was
sent to the Vera Cruz area to repel
possible advance of Americans to-
ward Mexico City. There was no ad-
vance and hence no clash.
