DECATUR, TEX Feb. Z, 1886, Editor
GAZETTE; Your letter OF February to
hand, and for answer will say that it is
my opinion that the present jury law of
Texas IL as perfect as it is possible to
make II. think, under the amendment
passed at its last session Of the legisla.
tnre, chapter 100, page 30, acts of Nine
teenth legislature, as good jurors can be
obtained to try criminal causes as the
material OF the country affords. | am of
the opinion, however, that other changes
in the criminal practice might be made
that would greatly conduce to the ends
of justice.
l. II the law should only require of the
court to instruct the jury what facts they
should find In order to convict or acquit
without, AS the law now requires, sub
hitting to them obstruse propositions of
law, they would be better able to ascer-
tain their duties.
?. III the court was required TO prepare
his charge and submit the same to the
attorneys before they are required to
argue the case to the jury, 1t would
greatly expedite business and aid the iury
In the performance Of their duty.
| find that the greatest OBSTACLE to
criminal justice Is in properly informing
the jury AS to their exact duties.

response that the jury system is the great
means whereby justice miscarries in civil

separable from questions of law, and of
the latter juries are wholly uniformed.
The system should be abolished, aud if

zElTE; Your favor of February 4, asking
Tor my opinion on the subject Of ',needed
changes in the jury law,n to hand. From
the fact that you desire the opinions of
the county attorneys of this state, draw
the Inference that you refer to that part
OF the jury law regulated by the Code of
Criminal Procedure, aud shall devote my,
sell IN this letter to the consideration Of
That part of the subject, | will make no
distinction between the formation OF the
jury In capital eases and in those less
than capital, since, as take IL, the sur
gestions | make are equally applicable o
both. My suggestions shall only relate.
turther,to challenges to Individual Jurors,
which are OF two kinds Pertmplory aud
Tor cause. The challenges for cause, |
think, are as complete and exhaustive as
they well could be, and should stand as
they are. But | would propose TO
do away with peremptory challenges alto
gether As II now stands in ali felony
cases the deteuse has twice as many
peremptory challenges as the state. This
obviously is unjust, But there are some
eases when a bad Juror cannot be
reached by chsllengu for cause, and
pefemptory challenges being abolished,
Injustice would be dore. | would pro-
pose 70 obyiate that In this way. After
the challenges for cause, let The attor-
neys Tor state and defense respectively
show cause by motion III writing why
any other Juror or jurors should not he
retained on the jury, and let evidence be
heard IN support or against such motion
ava let counsel argue thereupon and
Judge pass uDOn the nualItlratinu "a s,ch
Juror or Jurors. 1t will be necessary in
this case TO give the Judge more discre-
ton In the matter than he now has.
Then, after counsel have done presenting
their motions, let the court at his discre-
tion and of his own motion reject any
Juror or jurors which he may think unit
y serve on account OF any material
or disqualification whatso-
ever, | would place this matter largely
IN the hands Of the court. | am aware

LLANO COUNTY.

LLANo. TEX, Feb. 27.-Editor GA
zErTE Yours Of recent date to hand.
In reply, will say that there are some
needed changes in our Jury law, in my
opinion, which, II made, would DETER
secure the ends OF justice.
!. The present law in reference TO
selecting jurymen by "a jury commission
should be repealed and law enacted in
its stead, making it the duty OF the county
commissioners to act as jury commits
sion. The reasons for this change are
numerous. The commissioner come
from different parts OF the county, and
are better acquainted VII n the people and
know better about the dlsquallacations
OF men in their respective precincts than
three men picked up at the end Of the
term OF the district court, as is now
done.
3 The grand jury should be
impaneled for two terms instead of
one. Arrange it so six new grand Jurors
would come into the box at each term OF
district court. Every prosecuting at
torney who has had much to do with
grand juries knows that there is at each
tenn OF court more or less unfinished
business left for the next grand Jury to
complete, and with six of the old jury in
the box such business would be com
pleted much quicker, and many missing
link would he found which is, under the
present arrangement, never looked for.
3. Give tae state and defendant each
ten perenpt0ry challenges In capital
cases.
I. Abolish juries in JUSTICES courts
and strip said courts OF all criminal juris
diction.
3. Require county and district Judges
to read their charges TO the jury before
any argumcnJ IS made on the case by
counsel.
6. Let every qualified voter be subject
to jury service, # not over sixty years OF
age. Many EXCELLENT meu who are
neither houstholders nor freeholders are,
under the prcseat law, disqualified.

favor Of taking the judiciary ont OF the

judges especially appointed by the gov

think would be quite an Improvement.
am opposed to district judges scram-

That was curious case Of the girls In
cigar factory in New York, whofell, one
after another, into swoons and fits of hys-
terics, in imitation of one who had
tainted. No doubt, says the Tribune, it
was an instance of those epidemic infu-
ences of which the Convulsionnaires of st.
Medard are the best known examples.
During the Ulster Revivals of 1859, sim
liar cases occurred. The explanation
of them is that the emotions, acting on
the nerves, simulate seizures the sight of
which has caused the initial excitement.
The influence of the mind upon the body
is practically illimitable. The former
can simulate diseases so closely that the
normal physical effects follow, and this
is sometimes done with contagious dis
eases, death even resulting from purely
mental or emotional processes, This is
what is referred to when it is said that in
great epidemics fear kills more than the
plague.
