that IL was in Chicago. Tho case has
served to call attention to the de-
moraiizing possibilities presented by
our Jury system, however, and evoked
more than one thoughtful comment
from the press
Speaking Of the bribery Of juries
by attorneys who sought to get yer.
diets against corporations in Chicago,
the Lexington Herald..says:
ut has become one Of the scandals
Of our mode of administering justice
that corporations cannot have a fair
trial before the ordinary juries; that
under our elective system they often
fail to have impartial trials before the
courts. Crime begets crime; wrong
produces wrong; evil creates evils.
To the perjury on which enormous
verdicts were based was confronted
perjuries 20 prevent such verdicts; to
the packed or prejudicod juries by
whom such verdicts were retained
were added purchased jurors to thwart
their action by hanging such jurieS
1t is fortunate that in the very nature
of the case two wrongs never correct
any evil-but magnify it and expose
it, This conviction is an excellent re-
suit; this trial will be OF immense
benefit The punishment is miser-
ably insufficient; he who corrupts a
Jury deserves to wear the stripes Of the
felon; IL is a more heinous crime than
homicide--it poisons justioe at the
fountain.
"Unfortunsteiy there are more ways
OF corrupting a jury than by the
coarse and vulgar method of purchase.
We have seen in Kentucky methods
more respectable but more dangerous;
methods that covered the nefarious
essence of the infamous crime. Our
present jury laws are ample to secure
an honest and impartial panel If our
judges are pure and desire to secere
such juries; they are on the other
hand so devised as TO give a corrupt
judge abundant oportuuity to secure
just the Jury he desires The jury APP

a certain number whose names are
placed in sealed envelopes: the iudge

into = wheel snd a certain number
drawn for every court OF emergency.
II the court selects three honorable.
fairminded, intelligent commissioner,
proper talesmen are secuId; il three
corrupt. prejudiced, dishonest com
missioners are chosen, the juries will
be mere tools to register the dastardly
and corrupt wishes Of those to whom
they belong.

cation of these diverse selections and
