The Jury System.

Inc = OEy Sy0sCA0'
The Laramie Boomerang sug-
gests needed change in the jury
system:
Trial by jury is getting q good
many hard knocks, the verdict in
the Dukes case at Uniontown, Penn
sylyania, and the verdict in the
star route trial showing that some
thing is sadly out of gear in the
system. It is almost Impossible
for twelve men to bring in YER
dict lin accordance with the facts"
when such potent factors as money, .
person prejudice and practical bias
are operating against the evidence.
Judge Lynch presides over about
the only style of jury whose verdict
you can bet on. The most promi
nent defect in the jury system
seems t. be the law requiring that
the Juror must not have expressed
an opinion or read up the case in
the papers thus placinga premium
upon ignorance and ignoring intel
ligence aud honesty. Another de-
feet, and one that frequently works
Injustice. is the one requiring the
verdict to be the unanimous judge
ment Of the twelve, thus rendering
it possible for the jury "fxer" or
briber to ccnfine his operations to
. single person. Under the Eng
lish p1actice only a majority YER
dict is required. This might seem
too far y divergence to the oppo
site extreme, and yet it appears TO
have some elements of strength
that our system is deficient in.
For instance, the ''ixer" must bride
seven men to carry his point, and
the shrewd lawyer will find it more
difficult to carry seven men with
him by his appeals to their poiiti-
cal or religious prejudices than one
man.
The first jury in the Combs case
contained man who went on for
the express purpose Of CLEARING the
accused, and the moment he ap-
peared in the box, men were willing
to make bets that the jury would
disagree. Under the present law
at least half OF jury are certain to
be beats, roustabouts and worthless
characters
