Scouten's Herald, which is noth ing if not Slanderous, attacks the Jury Commissioners and President Judge in this manner: "During Judge Sittser's ten years' ser vice upon the bench of this county lie never once participated in tilling the .jury wheel. He entrusted the work to the jury commissioners, who are required by law to represent each political party. The result was that the jury drawn during his term was about equally divided politi cally. A courthouse is not the place to reward henchmen and political hucksters. A prominent Machine politician of J'Jk land townthip (whose name we reserve through sympathy for him) displeased at the way one ot' his neighbors voted at last fall's election, sarcastically remarked to the neighbor a short time since: 'We will follow you to the jury box." The expression would seem to indicate that the politician refered to has, or thinks he has, a grip somewhere on the machin ery ot justice. Though outrageous, his declaration is significant." By act of April 10 18t>7, I*. Digest, page 1107, it is made the duty of I the Jury Commissioners and l'resi i dent Judge, "to select, alternately, ' from the whole qualified electors of | the county, at large, a number, such a at the term of Court of Com - mon Pleas next preceding shall l>y said Court be designated, of solwr, intelligent and judicious persons, to serve as jurors in the several courts of such county during tlie year." Whether Judge Sittser performed his duty in this respect, or not, is immaterial. It is a fact that Judge Ell well, who was on the Bench when this act was passed, set the ex ample, and, at much inconvenience to himself, met with the jury Com missioners and selected jurors alter nately with them. The Judge who fails to do this neglects Ins duty. It is not true that "Jury Commiss ioners are required by law to repre sent each political party." Ibe Judge and Jury Commissioners are alike bound by act of Assembly, and by their oath, to select "from the whole qualified electors of the county at large, the requisite num ber of sober, intelligent and judic ious persons to serve as jurors. Political considerations have no weight. The insinuations of the Heralu, that the Judge and Jury Commiss ioners make the jury wheel a place " to reward henchmen and political hucksters," is not true. The list as selected for the year is recorded on the jury book, which is a public record. An examination of the whole number will show that the jnrors have been impartially select ed according to law, and that no henchmen or political hucksters an' among them.
