Judge Champion got hard boiled
/ Saturday morning when several loca
! business men appeared in his cham
! bors and asked 10 he excused from
/ jury service. The court delivered {
pretty plain talk TO those who wcr'
interceding for their friends and sc
forth his opinion in pretty pail
terms.
Business men have stood upon th
streets of this city and made the MS
sertion that verdcts rendered by jur
les in the courts are Il farce.
"They do not seem to understant
why II Is that more convictions ar
not obtained. yet when the cour
summons good business men, men o
honor ana integrity TO serve as jul
ors they come with excuses ana asl
TO be excused They will be the frs
to criticise those who do act as jul
ors when a verdict chances to be ren
dered that does not coincide wit
their views OF the case.
"The clerk has caused TO be sun
mcned good men to serve At this tern
of court, and l am going TO hay
to be convinced that anyone askin
to get off has a very valid eNcus
before he will be released from jur
service this time,
81 want good business men on tn
Jury. 1t is duty every good cit
zen owes the state, and they shoul
be willing and anxious to assist III
courts in suppression of crime, th
courts cannot 90 it all theinselve
citizens must help, and when summon
ed to serve MS jurors, although it ma
Inconvenience them little it is the
duty 10 do So"
