DENVER JUDGE SCORES JURY PANEL METHODS Trial Jurist Hopes His Decision Will Be Overruled by the Supreme Court DENVER, Nov. 30.— overruling a motion to dismiss the entire jury panel in a murder case Judge Shattuck scored jury methods in Denver and expressed the hope that his action might be overruled by the supreme court. The ocasion was the trial of Genkyo Mitisunaga, a Japanese charged with the murder of Mrs. Catherine Wilson, Mltisunaga's attorney alleging that the jury panel was made up of pro fessional jurors. Judge Shattuck said: "There are things about our judicial system here that are a disgrace and an Insult to free people. Men are re peatedly brought to serve as jurors when they are not even bona fide resi dents of this city. They are in no way qualified to serve. I had a bill introduced in the legislature to change this injustice. The house passed it, but the senate turned it down. In overruling your decision I hope you will take my decision up to the su preme court and that that court will hold me to be wrong and will force the legislature to take steps to remedy this defect."
