Attorney. W. fkhrocder reading an
affidavit, charging no women had
been called for the Jury "thereby de
priving said women voters of their
j inherent right" to serve on the Jury.
The demand of the 'defense that
women be permitted to sit on the Jury
was an unexpected surprise. Xo ef
fort has been made in Illinois to use
women Jurors in important cases.
If Judge C. C. Edwards should up
hold the governor's contention and
order women caled for the Jury, a
new problem will be raised aa he has
alreisdy announced his intention of
keeping the Jury locked up through
out the trial, which is expected to
lust anywhere from three to five
months.
Lake county has a large bedroom
on the floor of the court house with
twelve single beds, where Juries are
kept during trials. The laws of Illi

men and women Jurors, lawyers in
the case said.
The defense completed its argu

cessed while lawyers for tho state
held a conference.
The state obtained a continuance
until Wednesday at 9:30 to prepare
