A complication has arisen in connection
with a local murder case recently tried,
which might. by some turn of the law.
cause reversal of what the public has
accepted a righteous verdict. A juror
was accepted whose age, at the time of his
examination. was a trifie short of the stat
utory limit of siAty-five years. The trial
lasted about ten days. and during that time
the juror in question passed the limit. The
fact was noted during the trial. but the
court held that the case should proceed. and
now the matter is being averred a rea-
SoE for granting new trial 1t is easily to
be seen how emba rrass;ng strict construc-
tion of such law would prove when the
tendency of the times toward prolonged
trials is considered Taking the notorious
Molneux trial in New York as an in
stance it is clear thai some OF the jurors
may pass far beyond the age limit before
verdict is rendered, and yet have been
safely within that limit when the trial was
be gun. The purpose of the statute is to
prevent the impareling of jurors whose ad-
vanced years nay render them unequal to
the physical and mental strain of prolonged
service in the jury box. or whose faculties
may have been impaired by. the lapse OF
time. 1t is designed to protect not only the
juror from hardship. but the state and the
defendant from the risk of a verdict by an
Incompetent jury. The chances clearly
are that a talesman who satisfactorily
passes the tests as to eligibility is not likely
to become enfeebled by the ordinary
trial through the advance of age as to fail
in his duty to either side. even though he
may pass beyond the limit meanwhile.
There can be no provision to guard against
such an event. for wherever the age limit
may be placed, there is always a likelihood
that some of th~best jurors drawn will be
bordering on the margin when pressed into
service. 1t would not be desirable safe
to exclude from the jury box all men close
ly approaching the limit, on the ground
that the trial might be prolonged over their
siXty-tifth birthday anniversary, for there
by both the state and the prisoner might
lose the services of highly desirable jurors
men competent through experience and
ripened Judgment TO pass intelligently upon
the issues presented. So technical an OBJ
lection. weightless in itself illustrates,
however, the danger involved in long trials,
from which the District has occasionally
suffered along with other communities. The
safe rule is to take the best men drawn
for the service, however far from or near
energy to adduce the facts of the case
within the briefest possible time compatible
with the Interests of Justice.
