(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

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

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.
