WEAK POINT IN JURY LAW.

There is a serious weakness in the
present Territorial jury system. IL
consists of the limitation of the num-
bers Of citizens who may be summon
ed to serve as jurors. Taking the First
Judicial Circuit-the other circuits be
ing in similar case prOportionateiy-
a jury list for an entire year is limited
by statute to two hundred and hIty
names. From this list there have to
be drawn the grand juries, whose mem
bers are disqualified to sit on trial
iuries for cases wherein they have
found indictments, which makes them
unavailable as jurors in cases carried
over from one term to another. There
are many such contfnuances upon the
calendar of each term. Then there are
times when three judges hold jury
trials simultaneously, each with
panel of sixteen to twenty-six jurors in
ming of term, two judges are trying
criminal cases. A capital case is on
trial and a painful effort is being made
TO obtain a jury for another one.
Besides the deductions from the list
already mentioned, in it's relation TO
proceedings before any single judge,
there is to be taken into account, re-
garding capital cases, a considerable
proportion of jurors who have scruples
against capital punishment and
probably more numerous element who
will. either readily or reluctantly, ad- .
nit holding fixed opinions on the guilt
or innocence of the accused. After
twelve men have passed the ordeal of
examination for cause, in some in
stances greatly depicting the list, the |
difficulty is renewed, one-half increas-
ed, by the privilege of peremptory |
challenges. of which the prosecution is !
allowed six and the defense twelve.
There is always, therefore, risk in
an instance such as at present APP |
pears that the entire list of ESQ jurors
may become exhausted before jury
in a capital case is obtained.
The weak point of the law is that,
when the list of $50 is exhausted, there
is no provision for calling in tales
men. Some lawyers think that the
common law rule would then be ap-
plicable for the summoning of tales
men or the calling upon bystanders for
the panel. Others, con-
trariwise, hold that the omission Of
such provision frem the statute shuts
out the common law rule. Within the
past year the question of talesmen has
come up, but only as an alternative to
issuing a special venire on the list of ,
ESQ. It did not come to a test, however, ]
owing to waving of objections to tales
men by both sides.
1t is a serious thing for the COM t
and sometimes for the ac-
cused, to have a capital case contin-
led over a term, but under the condi- :
lions here shown the continuance is {
liable to be for a whole year. 1t has
been suggested to the Advertiser that !
an amendment to the jury law is some :
set about procuring from the {
coming Legislature.

CLAY WINS.
Route of the MorganfeId and
Atlanta Railroad Settled.

1t is a settled fact that Webster
county l. to get two new railroads.
One, the Morganfeld and Atlanta
running from Morganfeld. by way of
Clay, to Providence, with traffic rela-
lions with the l.. and n. the other
the Midland, running from Wheat
croft to Providence, is to be operated
by the Illinois Central. The promo
tiers of the Morganfield and Atlanta
met at the court house here the first
OF last week and plans were perfect
ed by which the road will be run bv
Clay, thus giving US road that will
no doubt become a trunk line. The
value Of this road to this vicinity
be estimated when We consider the
fertile soil and the fact that we have
fine field of both No. 9 and No IL
coal.
No one factor had more to do with
helping to settle the contes between
Wheatcroft and Clay for the proposed
Morganfeld and Atlanta railroad than
the striking of No. 9 coal by the
Thomas Blackwell Coal and Mining
Company, and the Times stated last
week that this find alone was reason
enough for locating the road through
Clay.
As soon as the chief surveyor was
shown the lay Of the coal, which was
done a. soon as our business men
could get in shape to do so the route
was settled and Clay got the road.
As the saying is, CLAY got the ham
and Wheatcroft the midlin. "
This is quite another strike for
Clay and insures us good growth
for the immediate future Even now
electric lights and water-works are
being talked of and their realization
is not far distant. Our future great
ness is being hummed upon the lips
of citizens everywhere. Life and
vigor il being felt in every line OF
business. The construction of the
new roads will bring a large amount
of money into the county, and pro
gress will be seen in every quarter

Gen. Gomez Dead.

Havana. Cuba, June l7.-General
Maxine Gomez, idol of Cuban patri-
OTIS, died this evening. Gen. Gomez
commanded the Cuban forces during
the insurrection which broke out in
1896 and ended in the complete in
dependence OF the Island on May 20.
1902.
He was born at Santo Domingo in
1886, and came from an old Spanish
family. He began life as a cavalry
officer in the Spanish army. He
joined the patriots in the insurrec-
ton of 1868 and fought ten years
being the Cuban Commander-in-ch chief
from 1873 to 1873.
