Queries on God and Their Ages
Irk Prospective Women Jurors

Judge Charles w. Woodward dis
closed today in Montgomery County
Circuit Court that some women,
who recently began serving on
Maryland juries, resent questions as
to their belief in the existence of
Cod.
Opening the March term of court,
Judge Woodward said that replies
to court QUESTIONABLE on qualifica-
tions for jury service indicated a
misunderstanding by some women.
He explained that he and Judge
Stedman Prescott were not trying
to "pry" into personal matters when
they questioned the prospective jur-
ors, but that the court had to have
certain information to make up the
panels.
One woman who was asked
whether she believed in God refused
fatty to answer, Judge Woodward
said.
II consider this an invasion of
my personal rights and unwar-
ranted,' the jurist quoted her as
saying.
Required by Constitution.
Judge Woodward explained that
the constitution of Maryland re-
quires belief in the existence of God
before any citizen can be qualified
for jury service. He enumerated
various other requirements.
Spectators were amused when
Judge woodward said apparently

ferred not to state their exact ages.

were taken from the polling lists
and that "a great many women"
give their ages only as "over 81"
He said that the law requires jurors
to be at least Is and not more than
10. For that reason, he said, the
court has to know exact ages.
The grand jury, which for the first
time included a colored woman, is
made up of 8 women and IA men,
one of whom also is colored. Judge
Woodward announced the appoint
ment of Thomas M. Garrett, dairy
farmer of Rockville. as foreman.
