to Allow Juror Akey
son to Resign, '
Judge Decides Body Has Power
to Proceed With Investigations
With Assurance That Its Work
Will Be Legal and Effective In
Every Particular.
Presiding Judge Sear of th circuit
court this morning decided that the
present grand Jury waa regularly drawn
and that there waa nothing Irregular
In aUowIng Juror Olaf Akeyaon to re
sign. Thl decision wa bandd down
In the case of the assault charge
against Charles Bock, who I accused
of having led th attack on th craw of
the Johnn Foulsen on th night of Jun
13. Bock waa Indicted by th grand
Jury. . . " ' . -
Bock attom-y,- R. Citron, yesterday
filed a motion, to quash the Indictment,
charging that - the grand Jury la not
legal -because of Akeyaon' resignation.
Judg Seara said: '
. ,-, TThl motion was mad to quash the
Indictment on the ground that th
grand Jury 1 -Improperly constituted,
alleging that the court had no power to
permit th reel gnat Ion of Olaf Akey
aon. The Mm thing that waa don , In
thl oase w war In th habit of doing
right along year ago when the grand
Jury held sessions of four month at
time. When a man wanted to leav th
grand Jury and gave any probable rea
son w let him. It la contended strenu
ously by the district attorney that sec
tion 1733 of th Oregon cod give this
court power to discharge a grand Juror.
It saya: 'If for any reason a Juror may
not act the -court may t discharge him.'
:,, Court Xaa roll hvn.
"Counsel .lay particular stress on
Akeyson'a being In good health, but he
file an affidavit of Akeyon'a In which
he says h preferred not . to serve on
th Jury. It seem to me thla section
of th cod leavea th matter within
thw--ulcTtion--of--tha--eouTt,--and-glT
th court full power to act.
"Thl Juror spoke to ma about th
matter and gave me hi reasons, and I
thought they were aufflclent. Whether
right or wrong, I believe that th court
haa full power to act In thl matter and
th motion to quash th Indictment will
b denied." '
Attorney Citron took an exception to
the court' ruling and if Bock la found
guilty will appeal to the supreme court.
.At the request of Deputy District
Attorney Bert Haney th trial wa act
for next Monday, July 3. Thl wa
objected to by Citron, who said he
wanted to move for a continuance.
. "I want th trial to be had a speedily
a possible," said Mr. Haney," for I am
holding aeven sailors her In Jail aa
witnesses." .. . .
"Yes, and you have two of my clients
in jail. ' said citron. -
It was agreed by th attorney that
th Indictment charging Bock with as
saulting Walter Safer with a revolver
and shooting at him .will be th on
tried Monday. : N 7

Th feature of this morning session
of th grand Jury was th election of a
new -secretary. George a .Allen, who
haa occupied that position since th or
ganisation of th Jury a little more than
a week ago, wearied of the task and in
formed hla colleague that th time had
come for them to choos hi successor.
He-retired- txom- the room, and remained
put while hi resignation was under dla-
cusslon, When he went Inside again
he was' Informed to hla great satisfac

that the work wa altogether too ar

During ' th counting of th Fifty-,
third" precinct today two Word ballot '
were found which were marked much In '
a atmllar manner. Judge Fraser stated
that the mark were probably made by
the Judge, but unless that fact could be
established th ballot would hav to
be rejected. He counted them a blanka
and laid them aside -with tha under V
Standing that the Judge of precinct it .
would be subpoenaed. to appear in court,
tomorrow morning. Thus, though th
actual figures of the recount leave th
candidates with., no advantage between
them. It will be aeen that Word ha a .

A record count waa mad thla morn

probable, however, that the proceeding
will , be delayed Into Thursday, aa the)
losing aide la likely to k for a re-,
consideration of the pile of several hun-. .
dred ballota rejected or excepted to
which now Ilea on Judg Fraaer'a desk.
Th total number of slips rejected
thl morning was ten, seven of ' them
having been cast for Stevens. This)-'
would hav put Word two In th lead
according to th figure of th official'
returns, but two' mistake of th elec-.,
tlon board In precinct 65 war found In !
favor of Word, thua cutting his votes .
down In that precinct from 100 to OS !
and adding to thl on rejected ballot
In that precinct to 7. .
