REFORMS
OF JURY LIST
Proposed Jury Reform Law
Not Deemed Necessary.
(From the NEWS Correspondent)

go 49, " ~ ~
Trenton, May 17-That there may
now be a real reform" Of the jury
lists is considered good news by
those advocating good government in
every branch of the system. The
opinion of Justice Garrison, which
afirms the constitUtionality of the
laws of 1906, which clothed the COM
mon pleas Judges in New Jersey with
authority to reform the Jury lists
prepared by sheriffs, mean much for
the cause of good government, as a
principle.
The passage Of the Geran election
law, the corrupt practices act, and
the holding Of elections with those
two drastic measures upon the
statute books will change conditions
throughout the state so materially,
that it is expected that bribery and
corruption will be almost eliminated
from an election. 1t was feared,
even with the passage of these two
excellent laws, advocated so steadily
and consistently by Governor Wilson,
that the inability, at times, to insure
the proper sort Of a jury, might, to
some extent, vitiate the effects of
even these two excellent laws.
"oDp LACl lbC1
current among the friends of Cover
nor Wilson that a Jury reform law
would be one of the subjects to be
taken. up at the next session of the
legislature. However, in view of the
opinion Of Justice Garrison there may
be no necessity for anything of the
sort. 1t would appear that in the
event of a sheriff having drawn Il
jury which might be considered as
incompetent the Judge of the court
of common pleas, in the county,
might intervene and insist that the
jury list from which the talesmen's
anne were taken, should be revised,
or, as the opinion states 1t, reform
ed"
1t is a well-known proposition that
the drawing of juries in many our
ties in the state is, to all intents and
purposes, a farce. The names are
drawn by lot. That is, when the
sheriff SO elects. More often, some
friend Of the sheriff asks that the
names of certain men may be placed
on the lists, and in that way their
names are drawn repeatedly during q
term of court. Some of these same
individuals exc out a mere existence
by means of what they derive from
acting as jurymen from time to time.
In some instances the men who are
thus placed in line for jury duty are
rot representative citizens, and some
of them are hardly fit to give a fair
verdict on the simplest sort of a case.
