5020 ARTICLE 23.

size and plainly marked with numbers from one consecutively upwards to
the highest number on the selected list of names certified to by said judge
or judges, which said marbles or balls shall be placed in the box from
which drawings are made in the case where ballots are used; where the
drawings are made by districts, the marbles or balls shall be deposited in
the District compartments in such way that their numbers shall corre-
spond, in each district, with the names on the judge's or judges' selected
list and the numbers thereof; the said judge, or judges, shall then cause
the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the County in which the drawing is
being made, or one of his deputies whom the said judge or judges, shall
designate, neither the one nor the other who may be so required to act to
be present at the selection of the said list of names or the numbering of
the same, to appear before him or them, and then and there in the pres-
ence of the said judge or judges, and such other persons as may choose to
attend, to draw from the box in which the balls are placed, in the same

order and way that ballots would be drawn, without in any way looking
into said box, one by one forty-eight of said marbles or balls, and as each
marble or ball is drawn from the box it shall be handed to the judge or
judges, who shall announce the number thereon and the name on the said
selected and certified list whose number corresponds, therewith; and the
forty-eight names corresponding by numbers to the forty-eight numbers on
the marbles or balls so drawn and the said numbers, shall be duly recorded
in the presence of the said judge or judges, who shall forthwith order a
venire facias for the persons whose names have been so drawn. The forty-
eight marbles or balls drawn shall be sealed up safely, and preserved by

the Clerk; the marbles or balls that were not drawn shall remain in the
box, or boxes, wherein they were deposited, which shall be locked or sealed,
to be used in filling vacancies that may occur in the jury, in the same way
they might be filled if the drawing had been made by ballots. The intent
and meaning of this Act is not to supersede or repeal the laws now regu-
lating the drawing of juries by ballot, but simply to provide another way
of drawing them, leaving the judges in said Judicial 'Circuit free to use
either the ballot system or the marble or ball system as may be most con-
venient and satisfactory to the judge or judges drawing a jury.
