Barring Numbers Players
From Lottery Jury Upheld

District Court may properly, on
objection by the Government, ex-
clude from jury about to hear q
numbers case persons who have
played the numbers game within
the preceding two years, the United
States Court of Appeals held yester-
day in affirming a conviction last
June Of George w. Shettel, jr., who
was sentenced to four to eight
months.
Shettel was convicted of violating
the lottery laws. In tOday's opinion,
written by Associate Justice Justin
Miller, in which Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner and Associate
Justice Fred M. Vinson joined, the
court overruled Shetters contention
that District Court had erred in
overruling his motion to quash the
warrant of arrest and suppress the
evidence seized, on the ground the
warrant was illegally issued, the
search unlawful, the evidence was
improperly admitted and the trial
judges charge to the jury pre-
judicial.
The court said yesterday after a
police agent had played the num-
bers" with Shettel, the accused went
into a restaurant and two police
officers and deputy United States
marshal who had been watching
followed him and Immediately
searched him, finding a notebook
and marked coins. The court made
it clear that it did not pass on the
validity Of the warrant, but recalled
the legal principle that a police
officer may arrest where a felony
has been committed in his presence.
