For Reform in the Illinois Jury Sys-
tenn.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.--0ne outcome Of the
long trial in the Cronin case has been that
the State Bar Association at its annual meet
ing. Just concluded at the State capital, has
declared in favor of q radical reform in the
jury system Of this State. sigismund Zeisler
echoed the sentiments of the association in
bis address upon the subject, in which he
said: There is no doubt that the verdict f.
nally rendered in the Cronin case was not in
accordance with the conviction of a single
one Of the jurors. Eleven men voted for
hanging and the twelve for acquittal and yet
on the polling Of the jury each member was
compelled TO prostitute bis solemn oath by
the declaration that the verdict rendered was
his verdict. Attempts at jury bribing are be-
ing constantly made, and 50 long as the
unanimity of juries is required the easier can
it be accomplished. "
The association declared itself in favor Of
law making the verdict of two-thirds of a
jury legal in civil cases; in criminal cases the
defendant to be acquitted unless two-thirds
of the jury return verdict of guilty, and
that the death penalty be not inflicted unless
the jury is sunanimous in its verdict. A COM
miltee was appointed to draft bill for pre-
sentation To the LEGISLATURE
