grand jurors shall fail to attend and be present at the conclusion of
the drawing or be disqualified or excused for cause the court shall
forthwith proceed to fill such vacancies from the aforesaid remaining

in which the names were drawn from the box and may thereupon in
its discretion fill such vacancy or vacancies thus made in the petit
jury by drawing the necessary number of additional names therefore
