The District Courts Of the State,
ut least such of them as are in session,
are much exercised oyer the hardness
attending the publication Of the decision
of the Supreme Court regarding the
criminal jury law. No one out this
way is advised as to what the decision
contains, and all are in doubt concern
ing tile manner of impaneling juries
IN criminal cases. The following from
the Carson Appeal of the day succeed
ing the promulgating Of the decision,
may possibly shed some light on the
subject:
Yesterday the majority of the Su
prenie Court decideu the present jury
law-or that part of it which describes
ihs OF challenging jurors in
criminal observation-disclosures. The
case TO which this opinion refers came
up on appeal from Judge Rising's
C0urt-Rixing having decided the Law
Unconstitutional. The clause In the
law thus declared antagonislic 10 the
Organic Ac, in in section three hundred
and fifty-four of the amended "Act
to regulate proceedings in criminal
cases." and it reads as follows:
= When such examina.
ton Is concluded, the State and the de
PENDANT shall challenge peremptorily
one juror alternately till each has
taken twelve psremptory challenges.
and the remaining twelve jurors shall
be sworn to try the case. Ii the de
PENDANT shall refuse to take his
peremptory challenge in his turn,
the Court shall take it for him."
This, we believe, Is what Has
been ruled against. We have said that
this case comes up on appeal from
Judge Rising'x Court. We may be in
error; for ii our memory is no at
fault, Judge Rives, OF the Lincoln Dis.
trict Court, has also pronounced this
part of the jury law unconstitutional.
and the appeal taken from his Court
may have brought on the decision.
