Criticism on Limitation of Jury Service in Chinese Murder Trial
In Hartford on April 28, the selection of three jurors brought the total to five as critics targeted a statute allowing 27 jurors to be disqualified for prior service within five years. A bill to repeal the five year limit was introduced after a Judiciary committee report. Of eighty five examined, 22 were disqualified for prior Superior court jury service, with juror costs rising to about five to five fifty dollars per person. The two accepted jurors from Habit Granby and one from Glastonbury had recent jury service. The case has seen more jurors examined than in the Gerald Chapman trial, with hundreds called and dozens eliminated by challenges. State and defense use remaining challenges. Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn shifts focus to jurors’ views on accessories versus principals in the case. The accused are Sto Hoo Wing and Chin Gung, charged in Manchester on March 24.

Coroner delays finding in Dudley death case
Middletown April 28 Coroner L A Smith said he was asked for technical reasons to delay his finding on the death of David C Dudley Jr of Meriden whose body was found last March near Highland station. The coroner had begun a detailed inquiry into the homicide but deemed an inquest unnecessary. Dudley was shot probably last October and buried under brush until snowmelt revealed the body. The coroner also reported on inquiries into the deaths of Patrick J Slattery William W Priest and Gabriel Kapetan in Pact Instances, finding no one criminally responsible. Skatte disappeared in mid February and his body was found on Saturday at East Haddam Apr 20. Priest died after a fall at his home and Kapetan, a lunch room owner, was found dead in bed from natural causes.
