Court Procedure.

Nebraska is another state contem-
plating a change in the rule that re-
quires unanimity in the verdict of a
jury. At the coming election Ne
braska will vote on a proposed con-
stitutional amendment which pro-
vides for a verdict by ive-sixths of
a jury in all civil cases and in crimi-
nal cases less in degree than felonies.
This cannot be termed a radical
change, since it requires the agree
ment of 10 out of IL jurors in civil
and petty criminal cases and abso-
lutte unanimity in cases of crimes of
magnitude.
At the same time Minnesota will
pass upon an amendment requiring
the votes of five of the seven supreme
court judges to declare a statute I'M
constitutional. This is a more radi-
cal departure than the other. be-
cause it is without precedent, while
under Ohio's new constitution ma
jority verdicts are permitted in civil
cases.
The Nebraska and Minnesota pro-
pOsals might well be united Courts
find it even harder to agree upon
the law in a given case than jurors
do upon the facts, and if unanimity
is indispensable as to the facts, why

not as to the law also? Conversely.
If a majority of the court is sufficient
to settle questions of the law, why
should not the verdict of a major
ity of a jury settle questions of fact?
The changes proposed in both
states are based upon a growing con-
Vlction that it is unfair to insist
upon absolute unanimity in a Jury
or to permit a bare majority of a
court to settle disputed questions of
law involoVing far-reaching conse-
quences. Both avoid extremes, one
by requiring fVe-sixths of a jury to
agree and the other ffve-sevenths of
the court, and both appeal strongly
to justice and common sense

HER LITTLE PLAN
BY VICTOR RADCLIFFE.

"The poor, dear little thing!" said
Miss Delevan, pityingly and indignant
ly.
She was a child of emotions, was
Clytie Delevan, and her gentle but
forceful soul was moved to its depths.
For the moment all her thoughts and
sympathies were with a strange girl
she had never spoken to and had seen
but once-just now
Clytie was passing an obscure cot
tage. Three or four little children
were playing about the rear porch.
Beside il was a young girl at a wash
tub, fair and energetic. This was
Vivian Grey, the poor, dear little
thing"
"Well?" suddenly challenged the
preoccupied Clytie, and a handsome
young man startled her by stepping
into view from behind a tree.
Dear How you frightened me-"
said Clytie chidingly, but with gen
tleness.
Did you find out what you wanted?"
asked Paul Sercombe, her lover.
81 have made all kinds of inquiries"
replied Clytie buoyantly. Il have even
seen her. Oh, Paul! she is such a sweet,
patient selfsacrifieing little creature,
Just love her There she is with an
invalid mother and FIVE little brothers
and sisters, bravely fighting her way,
and this horrid Uncle Wyman has
passed them by. who have nothing
and need so much, for selfish me, who
has everything in the world"
Including myself" suggested Paul
with a smile.
Il won't answer that until / see
how you win carry out your part in
certain plot am about to set afoOt.
You know Uncle Wyman sent for me
to stay a month, and if pleased him
l am to become his heiress.'
yes, / know" nodded Paul
well, I found out that he has had
nearly all his relatives on the same
basis, and has scared them all off with
his gruff tyrannical ways. l have
found out that If don't suit he is go
ing to decide on the Grey family. That
is as it should be, for Vivian is his
own niece and deserves good fortune.
And she is going to have it, If my
helping can bring it to her"
"As how, now?" queried Paul.
"Whisper-Tll tell you all about my
plan" said Clytie.
A precious plan it was Paul looked !
dubious, but entered into its details
