THE IDEAL JURYMAN.
His Age and Qualifications From an
English Point of View.


There is general agreement In Lon
don legal circles that the best jurymen
are to be found among men sixty years
Of age. The opinion is that jurymen
at that age show better judgment than
younger men.
A leading London barrister, asked for
his opinion, said: 81 prefer men about
fifty years of age. A defending barris-
ter In, say, criminal case which has
certain sentimental elements will al
ways welcome a young jury. He knows
he can touch their emotions far more
easily than he can those of men over
fifty. Sentiment is very rare at fifty,
and man Is cold and purely logical.
The average man who has reached the
age of fifty looks upon things from a
materialistic point of view, and his
judgment is therefore unaffected by
sentiment.
Education, save in certain civil
cases, is no great asset to a juryman.
The bricklayer or the mechanic has
just as much knowledge of human ma
ture and a sense of justice as the pro-
fessor, and in many respects barristers
and judges prefer the unettered jury
man to the man of culture, though in
the case Of the latter he is less sus-
ceptible to an emotional plea. The man
with sound common sense, learned not
from books, but from everyday life, is
not so easily led either by judge or
counsel as many suppose, and if you
add the wisdom Of years you get the
ideal yman."-Exchange

KILL THE RED SQUIRRELS.

The crow, hawk and bluejay are
recognized as destructive enemies of
bird life, but none of them compare
with the ruthless. bloodthirsty little
red squirrel. which not only breaks up
nests and destroys the eggs, but de-
lights in biting half grown grosbeaks
and robins through the back of the
head, eating their brains AMI sucking
their blood. The writer would view
the above statements with some grains
Of allowance II he had not seen young
birds killed in this way. These red
squirrels are spry. and there is grace
full curve TO their tails, and this is
about all that can be said In their
favor. They should be shot on sight
In every woodlet and lawn where It is
desired to have the birds protected for
their songs and insect destruction.

FORCED THEM TO FIGHT.
How "Honor" Was Satisfied by a Com

How "Honor" Was Satisfied by Com
puIsory Duel In Hungary.
The code duello as insisted upon
abroad is strikingly illustrated by the
story of a happening at Budapest Hun
gary. 1t appears that a lawyer, Ba-
bocsay by name, quarreled with his
wife over a new hat. The wife called
her brother, Lieutenant Hajdu a mill
tary aviator, to her aid. The husband
used words deemed insulting by Hajdu.
This coming to the hearing of Hajdu's
superior officer. the latter ordered the
lieutenant to fight duel with Baboc-
say. Neither party wished to fight.
Babocsay offered to apologize, and
Hajdu was willing to accept the apol-
ogy and thus end the affair.
But the military martinez was mex
orable. The duel must be fought to
satisfy the honor of the army. Conse-
quently these two men, closely related,
were compelled to attempt to try to
take each others life. They met, Ba-
bocsay, firing aimlessly, nevertheless
sent a bullet through the lung of his
adversary, and Lieutenant Hajdu died
Of his wound

John Giebke Confesses TO Crime
for Which Fred Gray is in
Prison
CFrom Friday S Daily Reporter

John Glebke of KeIlner is said to
have confessed to a crime for which
Fred Gray, a former section foreman
on the c. & n w. railway, was
convicted and sentenced TO states
prison. 1t viii be remembered that
Gray confessed and plead guilty to
having placed ties on the track of
the c. & n, w railway ana that he
was sentenced by Judge Park to the
state prison.
E n. PomainviIle was called to
Kellner ON Wednesday by the Rev.
A. Krusche. The Rev. Krusche made
affidavit, and John Glebke made a
statement to the notary. This a6fida-
Wit and statement have been forward
ed to the state board of control.
GIebke Will be brought to the city
and. questioned by the district attor-
ney.
It appears that since the sentenc-
ing of Gray, the man GIebke has act
ed as though he had something on
his mind and has, on several occa-
sions, commenced to say something
and then stopped. Recently when
preparing to take communion, he is
said to have made a statement to
the. Rev Krusche that he was the
one who committed the crime.
The local authorities are inclined
to think that Glebke is not just as
bright mentally as he might be and
little Importance is attached to his
story. However, a thorough investi-
cation will be made by the district
attorney and should the boys story
prove true, proper steps will be TAX
en- to release Gray.
1t is am odd thing that Gray
should confess to having committed
the crime and later plead guilty be
fore Judge Park. Gray also said he
was very drunk and in addition to
that all the circumstances pointed to
his guilt. Glebke is a young boy,
only seventeen years old.

per thousand. This is revealed by
statistics showing 1921 deaths re

with 1913 per thousand for 1908, 1919
