IRREGULARITIES IN DRAWING JURY LIST VOIDS All ACTIONS ( Continued, from pope sp?i ? tfc ??"isTih! i?f? Ear &rt? r p....d 63 names of the 7? nee , ^ commission then ni nai fifteen ^me^Sssarfto constitute the re ^USenUJmgularities were first brou"ht to the attention of the court at Tuesday afternoon's session by So Hcitor J Will Pless, Jr., who stated the bare fact that he had learned dur ?' bt^. day Tuesday of the "regular TdrinE ?h. ire?h.? had presented a new bill of inaicc ment against . the bankers and the former commissioners on the co the group drawn by the jury commis sion in irregular manner, it would court. , . It was at this juncture that bo lic.tor Pless announced the nol pros taken in the case against Sheriff 1. V Patton, Jr. The solicitor stated to the court that he had found it im possible to proceed against him at th \pr term; that he had prepared a ^ew bill to present to. the present ?ard jury; that now, in face of the fact that anything done by the pies ont grand jury was void. Jie could not proceed against Shenff Patton and. therefore, took the nol pros Judge Sink, in explaining the ir regularities of the jury commission in drawing the jury, stated that the irregularities, as he understood the matter fame about through the ovei zealousness of the jury commission to select the best men possible f or S" &? vice The iudge declared the jury commission was "above reproach and suspicion" in the work of drawing the jury, as he understood it, and com plimented the commission upon pre paring a list of names of citizens for jury service who, from their appear ance. were men of unusual ai oilit and of highest character. When the eighteen members of the grand jui> had been drawn Monday morning., be fore the court knew of any irreg"" laritv or of any question that might arise, he embraced flattering com plimentary remarks in his charge to the grand jury, declaring from their appca i ance that they were men of great intelligence and it would not be necessary for the court to go im? any lengthy charge in explaining their duties to the body. . . . The discovery of the irregularity in drawing the jury was not. new to manv citizens of the county wuo wer in tho court room when the solicitor made his first public statement abou it. When the list of names was first published three or fvur weeks ago ther_ w as much criticism of the metn od of the jury commission in ~ullinP the names as they were drawn from th- box. The fact that the jury se lected lor the first week, ffom which the grand Jury was to be chosen, was made up almost entirely of members of i:ne political party, while tho.e dr;;'.vn to serve during the second week were almost wholly of the other political party, caused considerable comment when the list was firs: pub lished. The men selected for jury serv ice wev of such high cnaracter, how ever, that the political complexion of the group soon lost its force in the criticisms that were so general at the time of publicatior. of the list ot names. , . Mumblings of dis' rent and wni. - pers of suspicion )? ; been heard here, ever since the Id method ot drawing the jury w; abandoned in favor of the jury co lission which was adopted through h Native enact ment. Under the old p the county commissioners supervi ! the draw thc !:-t. While the deW and incon venience caused by the irregularities of the jury commission m this case, many citizens believe that it will prove of untold value in the future, as the plain statements made by Judge Sink as to the duties of the jury commission, and the refusal ot ' Solicitor Pless to proceed v>ith trials of men indicted by a grand jury about which any question of irregularity had been raised, will, it is said by mar; . cause strict adherence to the provisions of the law in the future lisH-ig of citizens for jury service. Th:' Grand Jury selected to serve during the term consisted of the fol lowing: ? Dr. G. U. Paxton. foreman; H. P. Whitmire. O. H. Bryson. W. H. H in kle, G. H. Lyday, C. L. Green, Walter Hinkk". P..
