RIGHTEOUS AMENDaiENT

A constitutional amendment has
been offered in the California Legis-
lature calling for radical change in
tho jury system. 1t is move in the
right direction and one which should
be taken in Nevada. The amend
ment provides that in trials on
charges of felony the jury need not
be unanimous, but that throe-fourths
or fve-sixths OF the jury shall DO suf-
ficient to lender verdict. This
change would correspond with the
practice in foreign counties. In
Russia and France n majority Of the
jury may render a verdict; in Germa-
nv two-thirds is sufficient. So many
criminals escape their deserts in these
times through disagreements ofiuries
thBt the proposed change is likely to
lind, favor with the public. The re-
quirement that jury of twelve men
must he unanimous to give verdict
takes no account Of the modern art Of
Jury hXIng. Ihe corruption OF single
juror is sufficient to defeat the ends of
justice, and where there is reason
able doubt OF guilt it is scarcely likely
that ten jurors could be found willing
To unite in a verdict against the &C
cused person.
In this State three-fourths Of n jury
in n civil case can render verdict,
and since the law has been in opera
ton iG has worked satisfactory, and
there is no valid reason why the same
proportion should not be adopted in
criminal cases. Many criminal has
been saved from merited punishment
by single purchased, obstinate or
dunder- headed juryman standing out
against eleven, honest, intelligent and
conscientious men.--Gazette.
