Interrupted Trials.

A murder trial was suddenly interrupted
in New York the other day by the illness
of one of the jurors and the trial was
later postponed, the jury discharged and
the whole proceeding brought back to the
beginning with waste of all that had been
accomplished in the way of addresses and
the taking of testimony. This interrupt
ton cost the state and the defense heavily,
for there is no way in the law as 1t stands
for the work that has already been done
to be utilized All that was uttered before
the first jury must be repeated before the
second when the case is again set for trial.
Especially wasted was the time consumed
in securing the first jury, a difficult process
owing to the notoriety of the case. A day
or two after this collapse Of the. Patterson
case another trial was stopped on account
of the accusation of one of the jurors of
criminal practice in seeking a bride from
one of the parties in the case. a suit over
will. Thus In short time two important
hearings have been checked because of the
lack Of legal provision to guard against this
accident.
case in New York was in this same way
interrupted and new trial was had, owing
to the illness of Juror. A bill was intro
duced in the state legislature providing for
the impaneling of a thirteenth Juror. to sit
with the twelve and hear all the testimony
but not to vote unless one Of the twelve
regular members of the panel should from
any cause be incapacitated. When the
Molineux case was halted in the same way
the measure was pressed for action, but
before It was finally considered the juror
recovered and the bill was again dropped.
There should be some way to avoid mis-
trials from this cause. Juries often enough
fail to reach a verdict because of their ir
reconcilable differences of opinion and it is
a misfortune that there is no specific pro-
vision of law to cover cases of illness or
other disability to serve. This matter
should be laid~before Congress for consid
Grafton in connection with the Districts
needs in this respect.

Of the man that is to come He may hall
from Texas. He may come from Missouri.
His foretop does not yet appear In Georgia
1t is highly improbable that the south will
present national leader in the near future.
Her own affairs do not warrant 1t. Her
younger men have not been trained for the
post Her ambition should rather be to de-
velop a new leadership for effect at home
There is the most urgent need of that. The
Texan, or Missourian, or Georgian. or Ala
bamian, who should lead the south out OF
her present political isolation, open her
doors to discussion and break the power OF
the machine that now controls her. would
perform a service of greater value. both to
the south and to the rest of the country.
than IL he were to get himself elected Presi-
dent of the United States.
And maybe the Telegraph is in error as to
the northern democracy. That wing of the
party is not under the direct menace of
socialism. Its worst blunders have been
committed in its efforts to adjust itself to
the prejudices and impracticabilities of the
southern wing. 1t appears to lead, and In
way does lead, but has always to con-
slider the peculiar character of its southern
following. BY improving it's own position.
therefore, the southern wing of the party
must strengthen the northern wing. II the
south will lower her spooks and hoist the
standards Of live things. half OF the battle
will be won for what she really needs.
