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.
