SPENT HIS VACATION ON A JURY.
Captain Ennis Wished to Go East, but
the Judge Wouldn't Excuse Him.
John J. Ennis, captain in charge of the St. Louis avenue police station, recently obtained leave of absence for a week, as he wished to make a visit to relatives in the East. The police are allowed but one such vacation a year. The day the captain's leave of absence began a summons was served upon him to sit as a juror in the circuit court. Though he tried every means to esccape this duty he failed. The trial of the case in which he was drawn as juror occupied just one week. The captain is back at work at the St. Louis avenue station.
