Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, AUGUST 13. 1920. THE OREGON :dAILY JOURNAL, . PORTLAND , OREGON I NEVSBOYS JURY DOES QUICK VORK "Scotty" Cohen, leatheV-lunsred newsboy who holds forth at Broad way and Washington to the audible knowledge of thousands of Portland citizens, stopped his salesmanship work long enough to run over ta the court house and clothe himself as a Juryman with the majesty of the law. He took five ' other newsboys, all over 21 years of age, to serve also as ! Jurors In a constable's court, It 'was probably the most unique Jury ever assembled! in Multnomah coun ty,; and it settled the case in Just three 'minutes at the conclusion of the testimony. ' - The suit was that of Bertha Bloch against J. M. Rleg, who operates con cessions at Columbia Beach, and was over the attachment of an electric harp and lifting, punching and hand-grip ma chines to secure a loan of $25 made by her to Rleg. The verdict was in favor of Rleg, the jury declaring the property attached did not belong to him. Both Mose Bloch and Morris Gold stein, representing opposite sides of the case, demanded a jury trial, and the re sult was the ingathering of six huskies of the news-selling fraternity for their first experience in jury duty. . It is said their seriousness was a lesson to more mature veniremen. 4 - WRIT TO COMPEL TRIAL BY I JURY IS DENIED BY COURT Because of dispute as to the facts of proceedings in .the- municipal court in the trial of Jacob Xeskella, arrested on 'a i charge of vagrancy, Circuit Judge Kavanaugh Thursday denied the appli cation of B. A. Green, on behalf of Las kella for a writ ' of prohibition com pelling the municipal court to give Laa kella a Jury trial.. Judge Kavanaugh indicated, however, that were it not for the conflicting testimony -regarding (he actions at the municipal court, the un usual move for! a writ of prohibition would have been granted. - It appeared that the preponderance of evidence was to the effect that the trial of Jeskella wai actually started in the municipal court! before Green made hlJ formal demand for a Jury trial or ten dered the required $12 fee for the Jury.
