The Jury system.

There is wide spread dissatisfaction
with it, especially as to capital cases,
or where heavy punishment is involved.
In important civil cases where great
interests are at stake, it is also regarded
very much as failure, leading nearly
as often to the miscarriage of justice
as otherwise. The traditions that re-
quire unanimous verdIcts are antiquat-
ed and unworthy of serious cOnsidera-
tion. Why should twelve men, totally
unframed in the examination of legal
questions or evidence, be expected to
agree in the face of mass of contra
dictory evidence, after listening for
hours, or even days and weeks, to the
council skilled in making the worst ap-
pear the better reason, and without a
scrap of written or printed testimony
before them. Two witnesses to the
same transaction can rarely agree, as to
details, and yet jury of twelve men,
some of them very ignorant, are re-
quired to agree, or else the case, in all
it's dreary length and breadth, must be
tried again, or before twelve other men
equally unfit, or be abandoned. If they
do not agree on the first ballot, they are
kept in confinement until the strongest
willed can conquer the rest, OF until
their natural desire for discharge i'm
pells them to agree, whether the ver-
dict represents their real convictions
or not. 1t is right in capital cases at
least, that there should be heavy pre-
pOnderance, but to require unanimity,
is absurd and often defeats justice. If
eight OF nine men out of twelve can
agree that prisoner is guilty. it should
be sufficient, especially while all
chances fori appeals and pardons re-
main. Were the verdict a finality, it
would be different, but no convicted
murderer with money at his command
ever thinks of at once submitting to
all adverse verdict. The criminal
law seemed specially contrived to
shield notorious Williams from swift
punishment and the liable counsel" :"
no matter what his case, keeps up the
fight until every resource for delay or
escape is exhausted.-Ex.

FHE FOUNDRY A CERTAINTY.
Work on the Buildings to Begin
Immediately.

MIR. j. F. Wafer, of Wafer Bros.
Newton foundrymen, is now in this
city 10 superintend the erection of the
buildings for the Great Bend Foundry
& Machine Co. Work will begin i'm
mediately. and the buildings will be
pushed rapidly to completion. They
will be one and two story structures.
and will cover large area of ground.
The location selected. is just south of
the Santa Fe railroad track, west side
of Main street, and just opposite the
Walnut Greek Mills.
The Great Bend Foundry q Ma
chine Co. WAS chartered few weeks
ago, with capital stock of S25, 900.
Mr.. Wafer saw the many advantages
of this city as location for foundry
and Immediately bought stock in the
company. With his experience in this
business in western Kansas, and the
natural central location as to the ter
ritory to be covered by the business.
and from which to draw trade, he is
perfectly confident Of the ultimate sue
cess of the enterprise.
No man will gainsay the neces-
sity of manufacturing enterprises to
help in the growth and prosperity of
our city, and this foundry is only the
start of what will follow in the way of
manufacturing enterprises.
Mr.. Wafer and his brother will soon
move their families to Great Bend, as
will number of his workmen now en-
ployed at Newton.

The Attempt Fooled.

Saturday Sheriff Wilson put de-
tectives in the vicinity of Hoisington to
learn if possible, if there would be an
attempt made to Inch the Cofers or
either of them, and enough was found
out to prove to the officers pretty CEN
clusively that mob was gathering be-
tween Great Bend and Hoisington, and
that they would visit Great Bend that
night beyond doubt. Knowing that
if the men did come, and come deter
mined to take justice into their own
hands, there would doubtless be blood
of innocent parties shed. and probably
the prisoners not saved, the sheriff
quietly arranged to have Il hack near
the east entrance to the court yard and
just before the trained pulled in on the
Santa Fe going east, he hand-cuffed the
two Cofers together and hustled them
off to the depot, taking them to town
east of us for safe keeping.
This was doubtless wise move, as
there is every reason to believe that the
citizens of the north vicinity have be-
come worked up to a terrible frenzy
over the brutal murder, and were COM
ing in sufficient numbers to Overwhelm
all opposition and accomplish their pur-
pose regardless of consequences.
1t is hoped that the attempt at lynch
ing will be given over, and that better
advice will prevail.
