THEY HAVE THE INSIDE TRACK

The Star never criticises the YER
dict OF a jury in a capital case. No
matter what the evidence and argu-
ment may look like to the man on the
street, or even the spectator in the
court room, nobody has as good an
opportunity to arrive at a just con-
ciusion as the juror.
The responsibility of the soldier who
kills In defense of his country is
great, that of the officer who takes
life to uphold the law is greater. and
greater still is that of the man who
kills in defense of his own life, but
greatest of all is that of the juror who
must deliberately and in cool blood de-
eide that his fellow citizen is worthy
of death. More awful to his conscience
than that of any of the others is the
possibility of a mistake. Nor are the
stings OF conscience all to be consider
ed. IL jury sends an innocent man
to the gallows, and the error Is ever
discovered. the jurors must bear the
reproach thru life of many of the very
men who during the trial expected
them to condemn the supposed Grim
inal
So let US all be slow about finding
fault with the members of a jury. In
deciding a case. they have the inside
track.
