(Continued from Pajre Onei Van Kirk was a United States em- ! ployec, and the court decided that j his relationship to the United I States—“did in effect constitute an ! employee of the United States1 within the sense in which that j term is here used.” The court then j considered the question as to j whether “an employee of the Unit- j ed States is qualified to serve as A JUROR IN THE DISTRICT OF CO LUMBIA”, (the italics mine.) By j the italicized position of this quota tion the court plainly limited the extent of the application of the doctrine in that decision. It appears lrom the decision that the defend ant rehed on Section 217 of District of Columbia, the pertinent parts of iwhich are as follows: I “All executive and judicial offi cers, salaried officers of the United !States and of the District of Colum bia* **shall be exempt from jury duty and their names shall not be nlaced in the jury lists.” There is no provision in any of j ithe laws of the Territory of Alaska | forbidding placing upon the jury j lists the names of persons who are cxemnt from service nor, as to jur ors generally, exempting from ser vice all employees of the United States. The only provisions of the code of I Alaska exempting from liability to act as a grand juror are contained m Section 2121, the provisions of which do not extend so far as to include all employees of the United States. The second subdivision of that section exempts any civil ofti- : cer of the United States whose dut- S' iets are at the time INCONSIST-j' ENT WITH HIS ATTENDANCE as a juror. The seventh subdivision if that section exempts an acting I' ncn-commissioi ed officer, musi- ; cian or private of a military or- j i gamzation duly enrolled in the ser- j 1 vice of the United States or of said £ District. It does not appear tnac j i At Schallerer’s Alaska Shop j • hear the Brunswick and Columbia records Avalon Town, Glad Rag Doll and Wedding of the Painted 5 Doll. |l( Walter G. Culver is included in either of these exempt classes. So far as I am aware it has always been held by the courts of Alaska that the provisions of Section 2121 were for the bene fit of the person summoned to jserve as a grand juror, and that ! if he did not claim exemption j | he was not disqualified from ser- ! vice. In the Griffith case the court' j devoted much of its time to J j showing that the provisions of \ I Section 217 supra were applic-1 able alike to grand and petit! jurors, and concluded that they j were so applicable. In the Code of Alaska the pro visions governing the selection of grand and petit jurors are kept distinctly separate. There is no! such general provision relating to j jurors as in said Section 217. It is true that there is a provision i as to trial jurors which makes j the existance of the relation of )( employer and employee between, a trial juror and a party to the ; case on trial the ground for a challenge for implied bias. That provision is clearly limited to trial jurors and in my opinion j has no application to a grand | juror. Furthermore, a defendent i1 must interpose a challenge on that ground or the juror may serve on the trial. Implied bias is not absolute disqualification. I am not unmindful of the MAG AZINS NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS TAXEN. Sclial- j ferer’s Alaska Shop. j fact that in the Griffith case the I ! court discussed and applied the j | common law of Maryland. I am' ' inclined to think that the part | I of their opinion was mere dic j turn. Certainly that discussion was j | limited to the common law of j ! Maryland. Since I must hold that there ! is no statute in Alaska under; i the provisions of which Walter j ; G. Culver is disqualified from | acting as a grand juror, I will ; consider whether the general pro visions of the law forbid his acting in that capacity. The most that can be urged by rea son of his employment against i his serving as a grand juror j is that the party defendent might j challenge him for implied bias if j he were chosen as a trial juror. , Actual bias on the part of a grand juror against a person being in vestigated by the grand jury has repeatedly been held nor to dis- ; qualify the grand juror.
