JUROR LACK HOLDS COURT Search for a panel of jurors for the fall sitting of Assize court which began here today ' weighed heavily on the shoulders of Sheriff M. M. Stephens. Wartime unsettiement and occupational urgency complicated the job no end. There was another grim factor, too. Having prepared a list of 79 names from residents of the; county, Sheriff Stephens sent out his call for jurors. Flfty two indicated their Inability to be present for jury duty. In the cases or some, the inability was indicated for them. The prospective Jurors, were dead. Lists of Jurymen are pre - pared ... from.-. ,the.pravlnclal voters- mi. Most of those who failed to respond had either left the county or had died since the last revision of the voters' list. The remainder were people whose Jobs made it difficult to spare the time to serve on ' a Jury. The shortage of Jurymen was responsible for an adjournment of the opening session of the court this morning. Mr. Justice J. M. Coady granted the adjournment until 2 o'clock at the request of T. W. Brown, counsel for Boyd Telford when only 23 Jurymen answered, roll call at the 11 o'clock opening. Telford's case Is the first of two criminal cases scheduled to be, heard at the pTesent assize court sitting. He is charged wjth housebreaking and committing a mischief.
