Show MS POSE OF MORNING ' PAPER IS SHOWN UP Lawyers and laymen, judges and! clerks, newspapermen and intelligent mules, today were laughing merrily over top head critique in the morning morn-ing paper, in which The Standard was' accused of "publication of names of snerlal inrors hefori the Sheriff com pletes the service, violation of court order," etc , which refers to the spe cial venire of sixteen men, whose names were called in open court by order of District. Judge Alfred W. A. tree "The sunrise sheet sure put Its large and cloven hoof into the middle mid-dle of the puddle that time," laughingly laugh-ingly said a prominent lawyer, who attended the said drawing. "In attempting a spiteful criticism of a Standard scoop of perfectly legit l-mate l-mate and interesting news, it unwittingly unwit-tingly exposed again its own ignorance nf rnnrtc :jml their nrAporln r-e. TV. morning paper confuses these jurors, who are perfectly good citizens, all of them. I hope, with the alleged offenders of-fenders who are being indicted by the crand jury, whose names must be withheld until thev are in custody. "The morning paper somehow got the idea that the prospective jurors j were to be taken into custody, like! criminals, or that their names were to be withheld like those of tho eicht crand jurors, who were drawn secret, ly. What rAjerile nonsense! "These sixteen jurors of the special spe-cial venire were drawn in open court. County Clerk Charles M. Ramey shook up the box. Deputy Sheriff Curtis Allison Al-lison drew out the names. George Halverson and other lawyers; James M. Johnson, the official reporter, Dep. uty Clerk David Fletcher. The vigi-lent vigi-lent Standard scribe and others, pat by and put down the names and address, es ag Curtis Allison called them out and he called each one in a loud, clear voice, spelling the names of the jur. ors for the benefit of the scribes and stating their home addresses. "There was no danger of either of the sixteen jurors fleeing (he county to escape service and it was no violation vio-lation of law or ethics of any kind to publish the names. The morning paper pa-per assumes the ludicrous pose of loyalty to the court, too proud to pub. lish, etc Ye gods!" |
