TEARS THAT WORK THE JuRiEs
Power of Sentiment Is Known To
Good Lawyers Everywhere
(SaYannah Newsl }

(OaVannan NeWSD
The power of sentiment over the av-
erage jury is known to all good law
yers. 1t has been exercised successful
ly in murder trials, damage suits and
divorce proceedings. That this power
is sometimes abused cannot be denied
Recently, after woman defendant
charged with shooting a man had been
acquitted, the presiding judge took oc-
casion to express his regret that the
law does not give women gun-toters
the right to shoot feeble-minded jurors
on sight.
In Birmingham a short time ago a
young man was on trial for bigamy,
charges having been brought by Wife
No. l, Georgia girl, 1t looked like
clear case against him until Wife No.
2 took the stand. She wept freely, and
the jury sighed in accord. Poor fell
lows Most of them were middle-aged
married men and should have known
more about womans tears. No. 2
band of No. l, insisted that their we'd
ded life had been a dream of bliss
such as the novelsts write about, as
sured these credulous gentlemen that
death would be preferable to separa-
ton, and, leaving the stand, threw her
self into hubby's waiting arms and
wept some more. The states case stiU
was clear enough, but the jurors
minds were clouded.
The jury was ready to render its YER
dict right there. Indeed, it is not sur
prislng that 1t showed signs of impa-
tience to express its sympathy for No.
2. Then the state threw bomb in the
form of a letter written by the accused
while in jail, instructing No. how to
work the jury. 1t read;
with your beauty (you) can come
near delivering the goods if you'll get
it OFF with the proper wrinkle. You
have some dramatic talent; put it to
| them.
Il know these boneheaded, chicken
hearted juries when 1t comes to pretty
women sobbing around. Just hand it
| TO them good and strong; they can't
resist; they'll fall for it, all right. It's
cinch'
The jurymen, possibly from sense
of recovered dignity, ceased their sniff
fling One of them audibly exclaimed,
We'll, I'll be ID and probably
thought he had been. Again they quick
ly reached verdict. The bigamist was
convicted. Who'd a thought it?" ask,
ed an elderly juror as he left the court
room. Except for the letter no one
would have thought it.
