SITKA INDIANS DEMAND
THEY BE PUT ON PETIT
JURY IN CAPITAL CITY
TWO SITKA INDIANS, DRAWN
BUT UNSERVED, NOW SHOW
UP AND DEMAND A PLACE
JUNEAU, Alaska, Dec. 1.—Some
people have jury service thrust upon
them and accept it as a matter of
duty imposed by the obligations of
citizenship. Others, apparently,
would thrust themselves on juries.
Witness the case of C. W. Jacobs
and John James, Indians, of Sitka,
who were drawn for jury service
during the term of court here which
opened a few days ago. Subpoenas
were issued for them and sent to
Sitka for service. Neither could be
located. Both were reported to be
out of town and it was said here
they were attending a potlatch or
some other village—probably the A.
N. B. convention at Honah. The Sit
ka deputy marshal, after serving oth
ers drawn from there, made his re
turns showing Jacobs and James
not to be found and therefore un.
served.
Yesterday a cablegram was re
ceived by John H. Dunn, Clerk of
: Court from the Sitka deputy saying:
“C. W. Jacobs and John James
| demand service as petit jurors” and
! asked for instructions. He was
informed to let the returns stand
as made and, consequently, Jacobs
and James will remain unserved.
An answer of the outcome of this
will be forthcoming.
