Reed Upholds Dimond and Women Jury Acts in Memo Opinion
In a detailed memorandum, Judge T. M. Reed sustains the Dimond Act and the Women’s Jury Law, rejecting challenges that they improperly altered grand jury selection or excluded certain groups. He finds the acts ministerial in drawing jurors, notes no prejudice shown, and argues the measures aim for a fair, impartial panel drawn from the district population. The ruling addresses grand jury qualifications, citizen status of a notable Indian juror, and the legality of women’s jury service within the territorial framework.
