THERE was an unusual occurrence in
the court of general sessions, Jersey City
last Tuesday, when Christian Volz, fore
man of the jury in the case of Jonathan
Speicher, refused to obey the order of the
court by rendering verdict of not guilty.
Speicher was charged with criminal con
duct with two little girls. He was arrest
ed several months ago and bailed in the
sum of $1,000. He disappeared from Jer-
sey City but later returned and stood
trial The testimony of Speicher's alleged
victims was contradicted and the court
appears to have been convinced that 1t
was not sufficient to warrant verdict of
guilty, but Foreman Volz declared that
the jury believed the man to be guilty and
he absolutely refused to render any other
finding in the case. Speicher's counsel
insisted that it was the duty of the jury
to render a verdict in accordance with the
order of the court but Prosecutor Vickens
insists that questions of fact and not OF
law were involved and that the finding OF
the jury should stand. The court nnally
ordered the clerk to enter on the minutes
a verdict of mot guilty by direction OF
the court" This was done and Speicher
went Free Foreman Volz must be COM
mended for his courage. The jury was
drawn for the purpose of weighing the
testimony and reaching conclusion as to
the guilt of the man at the bar. This it
did. There was no confusion on its part
as to the law in the case. 1t was, as the
prosecutor said, dealing with facts and to
the layman it doesn't appear that the
judge in the case had the power to dictate
to the jury what its conclusion should be.
If the power of the court extends that far,
why should the county be put to the ex
pense of paying the cost of jury?-State
