Fourteen Jurors.

At the last session Of the Legislature of
California law was passed authorizing the
drawing OF a panel Of fourteen jurors. All
OF them will sit during a trial. Two will act
as alternates and will not join in making up
a verdict unless a mistrial is likely to occur
by the illness of some juror on the regular
panel Of twelve. California is the first
American State to adopt the innovation, and
it will be tried for the first time in the trial
OF Theodore Durant. charged with the com
mission OF the church belfry murder. While
this is novel procedure in this country it
has been practced for some time in Switzer-
land. The California statute is probably an
adaptation OF the Swiss practice. The ill
ness OF juror often makes a second trial Of
a case necessary. The California idea ap-
parently eliminates to some extent one
