NIXED JURY CASE STIRS
UP STORM Of PROTEST
BIG MEETING TO 6E
HELD HERE SUNDAY
St. Paul, Minn., March 8.—
“Never would I allow Mrs. Preus to
go through such an ordeal.”
This frank statement by Gov J.
A. O. Preus, of Minnesota, has giv
en such added velocity to the storm
which has arisen here over the con
finement of seven women and five
men for two days and two nights
that it was freely predicted today
there would be no more “mixed
juries” in this county.
To this extent therefore, the
fight of women's organizations for
an absolutely equality of rights
with men has received a decided set
back. The privileges of citizenship
represented by prolonged jury duty
have outraged the feelings of seven
St. Paul householders and sown the
seeds of an organized movement
against some of the outcroppiings of
un (venial suffrage.
The jury of seven women and five
men, selected to sit in judgment In
the case of the state against George
Theomke, charged with stealing an
automobile, was "hung up” for two
days and two nights before verdict
of guilty was returned. No sooner
had the jury been discharged with
the usual thanks by Judge F. M.
Cattlin than a groat hue and cry
went up.
Husbands of the women serving
on the jury didn’t mind doing the
house work and caring for the chil
dren during the day but when at
night, their wives were herded into
chaingang formation and locked
with the men in one jail room
where there were no screens or
curtains to shield the feminine sec
tlon of the improvised dormitory,
they felt the and of duty as good
citizens was reaehad.
In consequence, a notice that is
assured the support of most of the
married male population and a few
of the promised in marriage, as well
has been unofficially, but none the
less firmly served to the effect that
there will be no more of that sort
of thing in these parts.

One of the irate husbands so vc-

hemently outlined to Judge Cattling
his position as a citizen and a tax
payer that he narrowly escaped cita
tion to the winds, and forgetting
that he was addressing “the ma
jesty of the law,” the indignant
spouse made full use of hia unex
purgated vocabulary, and declared
that neither his wife nor himself
would ever serve on a jury, let the
penalty be what it would.
“Never haiy:, I been thus spoken
to in my official capacity,” said
Judge) Cattin today, “but T was con

“But we diin’e sleep much, I can

from the snoring that was going on.

loud snores, we were up and dress

The second night was a repetition
of the firsa night, with the exception
that the men "turned in” early, and
