FIRST FIGHT IN CON-
 STITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Little Rock, July 3.-The first fight in the constitutional convention came up over the proposition to provide for a majority verdict in certain cases. The committee had proposed five siAths of the jurors in all criminal cases, except capital cases, and in all civil cases. There were about fifteen amendments offered, and the entire forenoon was devoted to a discussion of the matter.
 As finally adopted, the section stands as follows:
 The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate, and shall extend to all cases at law, without regard to the amount in controversy; but jury trlal may be waived by the parties in all cases in the manner prescribed by law; provided in all misdemeanor cases and in all civil cases five-sixths Of the jurors may find verdict; and m cases where a verdict is found by less than all the jurors the verdict snail be signed by all jurors agreeing thereto"
