A Judges Opinion of Woman Jurors

Hon. J. ii. Howe, Chief Justice Of
the Supreme Court OF Wyoming Terri
tory, has written letter to the Chicago
LcgaL Neacs in relation to the recent ex-
pertinent of allowing females to serve
on juries, which was tried in his court
at Cheyenne Judge Howe says:
with all my prejudiceS against the
policy, am under conscientious obliga-
tons to say that these women acquitted
themselves with such dignity, decorum,
propriety of conduct and intelligence as
to win the admiration of every fair
minded citizen of Wyoming. They
were careful, painstaking, intelligent and
conscientious. They were firm and res
olute for the right as established by the
law and the testimony. Their verdicts
were right, and, after three or four Grimm
al trials, the lawyers engaged in defending
persons accusedof crime began to avail
themselves of the right of peremptory
challenge to get rid of the women
Jurors, who were too much in favor of
enforcing the laws and furnishing crime
to suit the interests of their clients
After the grand jury had been in session
two days, the dance house keepers,
gamblers and dtmi-mondc fled out of the
city in dismay, to escape the indictment
of women grand jurors In short, |
have never, in twenty-five years Of con-
slant experience in the courts Of the
country, seen more faithful, intelligent
and resolutely honest grand and petit.
Jury than these
