Oct. 28, 1909: Prosecutor Guy Eddie is determined to get women on juries despite Police Chief Dishman’s order that they not be summoned. His latest tactic is an attempt to dismiss an entire jury, but he’s overruled by the judge. The defendant in the case, J.W. Slocum, represented himself against charges that he and other socialists violated the rules against public speaking in Central Park (now Pershing Square) during a “harangue over free speech and single tax.”

And in Des Moines, a judge orders that a case between two Jews be heard by an entirely Jewish jury.
