The Law and Murder.
charlotte Chronicle.e

Solicitor Clarkson, who has closed
his term as prosecutor for the State,
has had abundant opportunities to
pass on the defects Of the law in this
State in regard to homlcldes and ne
knows better, perhaps. than n other
lawyer in the district why it is 50
difficult to secure a conviction for
murder in the first degree. In view
Of some recent notable trials in Meek
lenburg county, this is a live topic in
his particular section OF the State.
The Chronicle has asked Solicitor
Clarkson for his candid opinion as to
the present system Of trying persons
for homicide, and the retiring solicit
tor was not backward in giving it.
He said the system in existence IS
unfair to the State, and it is almost
impossible to get a jury with fair and
impartial men to try a man for muir
der in the first degree. A prisoner is
allowed twenty-three p~eremptory
challenges and as many challenges for
cause as can be shown. The State
has only four peremptory challenges.
He said the law should be changed.
allowing a prisoner about eight per-
emptory challenges n whenever the
State, or the prisoner, challenged a
juror for cause, the cause could not
be admitted by either side. If the
State did not know how a juror stood
and he asked the juror if "he had
formed and expressed an opinion as
to the guilt Of the prisoner" he could
not ask this until he had challenged
the juror for cause; the prisoner
could then admit the cause, this
could be continued through the whole
panel and it is almost impossible to
get a jury, unless selected by a pris-
oner. This is the reason there are
SO many acQufttals for murder Such
a course is dangerous to a State.

THE difficulty and expense Of main

says General Pershing, "but that VS.
should have a force ready for such
emergency needs no discussion.
Should the emergency arise we would
have to depend upon native troops.
The authorized strength and organl-
cation of native scouts should be
utilized as a nucleus to train a native
army for this purpose. It would be
an easy matter to inauguratc a

with the colors and a longer period
with the reserve, that would provide,
within a few years an adequate and
reliable force for d~efense.'
