QUrrMAN, TEX, March Editor GA
zETTE: In response to your sol citation
for an expression of my opinion az one of
the county attorneys of the state. as to
necessary legislation on the Jury law of
the state, TO render 1t more efficient In the
suppression OF crime, after careful dellb-
Grafton, and some years experience as
county Attorney, | am persuaded to the
conclusion that | know OF NO necessary
changes to be made in the Jury system
and law Of the state, as 1t now exists In
the statutes. The Nineteenth legislature
sought to remedy the only defect and in
convenience consequent thereof by so
amending the law that opinions formed
by lurymen from reading accounts and
notices in newspapers of crimes com
mitted shall no longer be sufficient cause
for challenge. Prior TO this amendment,
in cases OF Importance and notoriety, IL
was always difficult to obtain Jury. The
great secret Of the efficiency OF our iury
law and the suppression Of crime, is the
exercise Of judicious discretion by the
courts In appointing jury commissioners.
II honest, intellectual and law-ablding cit
liens are appointed as jury commissioners
whose duty IL is TO select from the great
body OF the county men, both for grand
and petit jurymen, our iurymen viii be
composed Of the best men In the county.
ana the criminal will be punished and our
criminal law will no longer be considered
aoortive and society prey to thousand
woes
SO know OF no changes that would
render the jury system more effectual and
would more successfully punish the as
sassin and the highwa nan and the petit
criminal than our prescott code II properly
administered. | am declined to believe,
however, that 1t would he salutary
change TO abolish the office OF district NJ.
tOrney IN all the districts OF the state. and
let the county attorneys represent the
pleas OF the state In AL the courts of their
respective counties. Il would not only
DC great saving 10 tho state IN the nav
maut OF district attorneys SALARIES, but
would make the Office II county attorney
more lucrative, and as s Consequence bet.
yer lawyers would aspire to the position.
rms suggestion is not prompted by any
selfish motive, out an honest conviction

GAZETTE; In reply to letter from THE
GAZETTE in regard to revising the Jury
system fear that what have to Say on
the subject will aid but little IN adopting
q jury system which will be better than
the existing one. This project is a mat
ter OF the greatest Importance TO the peo-
pie who desire to see the law enforced,
and If there can be jury system adopted
which will be calculated to enforce the
law more so than the present system
think by al means it should be done. |

TEN OF organizing iuries was that which
exists at the present time, but while this
may be so in some counties of this state
still have come to the conclusion from
experience that so far as The
are concerned the present sys.
TEN OF getting up juries amounts
IL the majority Of instances to almost a
farce, and In most of the criminal cases
tried the law Is not enforced.
NOW II we abandon the present
jury system, the next question
arises, how can it be improved upon,
and what is the best system to be adopt.
ed In order to meet the ends Of Justice +?
don't well see how we can do away
with the grand-jury system, and don't
think this system should be abolished,
but ought to be changed somewhat,
Therefore, suggest that,lhe grand iurics
be composed OF only six men. Let these
men be elected at the biennial and gen
eral elections, like the members of the
commissioners court. Let them sit at
every term Of the district court OF their
respective counties for the purpose of
transacting business. Let these Jurors
be paid such a salary as would Justify

knowledge OF the law and its workings, 10
act In the capacity OF grand Juror. Let
THESE Jurors be elected by the people and
hold their office for two years.
am IN favor Of the peLlt iurles being
done away with altogether, and in their
place and stead let three Judges act. Let
these judges be men who are competent
TO act as Judge of the district court. and
let these judges be appointed by the
governor OF the state. Let these Judges
nave the power to try and determine all

THE breach between Representatives

which caused disgraceful quarrel in
the house, began at the opening OF the
session, and has wldened ever since.
They aspired to be leaders OF the so

be the first man. Tho trouble began in
the contest for the Craftsmanship OF the
committee on labor. O'Nelll's tactics

probable that he used language regarding
the hated capitalist which, after refec-

on the hip, and he showed his resentment
by making a scene in the house litter for
the arena of the smuggling fraternity The

itor GAZETTE: In answer to your favor
with reference TO the jury law, would
suggest that Article G52 Of Code OF Grim.
inal Proceedings as 1t now stands pro-
sides that in the formation Of a jury Ia
cases of felony less than capital, that the
state shall have Ave peremptory chal-
lenges and the defendant ten. You viii
observe that under the law we have
twenty seven men summoned as yenire /;
out Of that number shall be selected the
jury to try man for the theft Of horse.
There may be eight or ten men on the
yenire who would not convict any man
for that offense or any other offense. The
state will exhaust her 1--we challenges,
leaving the remainder TO make the jury.
The defendant makes his challenge OF ten,
double the number of the state, and by
his challenge he strikes from the
yenlre ten of the best citizens on
the yenire, leaving the remainder
so that the remainder from the states
challenges and remainder of defendants
make the jury to try the cause, and to en-
force the law, which cannot be done eff
fectually under the present law The
thief has double the advantage of the
state. So likewise in capital felonies
the state has ten challenges and the de-
PENDANT twenty. would suggest for the
enforcement Of the law that Art. 635
