i WANi M, ** * DEVOTED TO THE MATERIAL DEVELOPM THE BEST COUN TY IN NORTH GEORGIA. CANTON. GECR H 10, 1922 VOLUME XLVII NUMBER 10 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.

How M*by With The Let One of the irate husbands so vc- 0 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 vinced that undor .the circumstances the man Was 'not responsible, ind f allowed him to get away with it believe it did him good.” w Five of the husbands went after Sheriff John Wanger and informed him that hereafter he need waste no time with jury summons for th*m The "shocking” details are just coming to light said Mrs. Josephine Brown: “When they put us in the jail the first night we just sat around on the edges of the beds and talked about the case until we were nearly dead.
