THE JURY SYSTEM.
The Reno Observer Thinks the Law
ShouI5 be Changed.


ShouI5 be Changed.
In commenting en- the granting OF
the Reno Observer makes the follow
ing caustic comments on the inadvis-
ability of allowing the jury law to re-
main as 1t is There is no disposition to
find any fault with the Supreme Court
who interprets the law as it appears
on the statute books.
The Observer says:
A recent decision of the State Su- !
preme Court granting new trial 10
the four men convicted of numbering
Jack Welsh at LovelOck last summer
| was handed down last week. The
reason for granting a new trial was
that one of the jurors had expressed
an opinion, which. according to the
lay invallidated the whole proceeding
and made a new trial obligatory. Trial
by jury is doubtless one of the pillars
of civil liberty, but it is a support con-
siderably worm eaten with age and
abuse. When our English ancestors
fought and bled for it in the far dawn
lof modern civilization and won the
Magma Charta after three generations
of stubborn agitation, the jury system
was better suited to the times than
it is now: There were no newspapers
to tell the story of the crime as SON
as it occurred. There was no tel,-
graph to fash the news around the
world in an instant. The majority of
people could not read and news trav-
eled slowly. Now it is dull man in
deed and one not interested in the
events of the day, who does not know
all the details of the crime before the
. perpetratOr ever comes to trial or is
even arrested. Men of any decision Of
character form opinions-they cant
; help it. Some of them are incapacit-
ated for jury duty by their opinions,
others are not, but it is notorious
fact that more criminals escape the
Jury drag net than are confined in

needs fixing is perfectly plain to any

The DRINKS were dealt with in short
order, but the neighborhood trouble con-
sumed some little time.
This case was that OF Alfred Fagn,
charged with threatening the life Of j..
L. Asher There was nothing serious in
the case, which appeared simply to be a
case of misunderstanding.
/. Mrs. Asher stated that MIR. Fagin stood
outside the door and invited her husband
out to see his grave dug" That was
about all and as the two families do
not now live In the same neighborhood,
with no likelihood Of further trouble, the
case was dismissed.
