For the Judson Cases

If There Is Trouble in Getting a Jury, the Case Will Be Sent Out of County.

At the opening of the circuit court Tuesday Attorney Frank Jones made application to draw 15 extra jurymen from the lists sent by the supervisors, in order that twelve men can be secured to try the libel case of William Judson vs. Selby A. Moran.

Attorney Brown objected on account of the extra expense to the county.

Judge Kinne: "I think this would be a wise thing to do for all parties in the case. Otherwise there will be a delay. This case is a matter of great notoriety, and I anticipate some trouble in getting a jury. It would be strange if many of the jurors have not formed some opinions in the case. I think you can take the order, Mr. Jones. If l find any great difficulty in getting a jury in the case, gentlemen, I will send it out of the county. I cannot stop all the other cases for this one."

The clerk and Justices Doty and Duffy then drew the following additional jurymen to report tomorrow morning, when the case will be called:

Christian Webber, Sylvan.

Felix Courtney, Webster.

Leonard Smith, York.

Sheldon Crittenden, Ypsilanti town.

George Flower, Ypsilanti, 1st dist.

Anthony Fohrman, Ypsilanti, 2nd dist.

Carlos Hill, Ann Arbor, 1st ward.

Christian F. Daul, Ann Arbor, 2nd ward.

Chas. E. Hiscock, Ann Arbor. 3rd ward.

Moses Seabolt, Ann Arbor, 4th ward

Herman Kempfert, Ann Arbor, 5th ward.

J. C. Wilson, Ann Arbor, 6th ward.

Geo. Lutz, Ann Arbor, 7th ward.

Chas. Koch, Ann Arbor town.

C. H. Gould, Augusta.
