COURT WILL
NOT ADJOURN
Judge R. A. Gunnison has declined a
request that has been made of him to
adjourn the district court Saturday for
the purpose of permitting grand jurors
and others to attend the Victoria Day
celebration at Whitehorse.
In denying the request Judge Gunni
son said it is done as a matter of duty
and not inclination.
The grand jury has been called for
the special term of court only. Tha
will terminate one week from Saturday
and the grand jury must adjourn at
that time whether it shall have com
pleted its labors or not. Nest Wednes
day will be a holiday, and, counting
Saturday of ihis week, the grand jury
will have only six days in which to do
its work. It will investigate c> imina
cases from all over the first judical divi
sion. There are at least a dozen of
them, and it is not known what other
matters will come up. It will take all
the time the grand jury has at its dis
posal for it to do the work it I as before
it.
These and the fact that it would en
tail additional expense on the govern
ment are assigned as reasons why tie
court could not adjourn for the excur
sion.
