WOMEN RESENT CHARGE THAT THEY ARE MERCILESS
 WHEN SERVING ON JURIES

woman jury question that is worth considering that it Is difficult to get men of intelligence and education to serve on juries. They are absorbed ir, their business and try to make ex.. cuses.
 Such men feel they simply can't afford to give up their time to jury duty. But there is a large class oS in intelligent women who have the lei sure for this service and they should be given the opportunity for it.
 '~Women are usually suspected of being too lenient on 5uries and Judge Allen brings out these points in thess paragraphs" Mrs. Brown said. quot. ing the article as follows:
 There has been some question whether the women jurors would not be too sympathetic and let criminals go scot-free or allow them undus leniency. This doubt certainly has not been borne out in my experience John AzzarelIo was tried for first-de~ gree murder before me and found guilty; the only woman on the jury was steadfast for conviction. We have lately tried Frank Motto for first degree murder in my court He was found guilty without a recom- mendation of mercy. which means that he received the death penalty The foreman of the jury was a wom- an; in fact, she was the only woman OF the jury. From the first she de- manded the death penalty for the ton. The jury which has just given the death penalty to Purpera, an ac- complice of Motto. included four worDe0'o

New York. June 2o-In our coun- try there is a bold challenger - no, not NJ Georges Carpenter. Braver than that, even.
 While the Gallic Georges invites trouble with only one strong man, consider the temerity of E. M. Bal lard, Cincinnati lawyer, who calls all women merciless- He declares he will have none of them on the jury which will pass upon the case of his client, Walter Brockman, charged with first degree murder.
 ''I challenged off all five women peremptorily,'' he said. "No, I don't mind stating the reasons. The record thus far in criminal cases has shown that women jurors always are for conviction.
 "Women are merciless.- much moro so than men," he told the Court.

Mrs Brown then called our atten- ton to the following:
 However, in the preliminary se- lection of jurors for these cases many women were excused because they were opposed to capital punish ment and would shrink from sending to the chair another mothers son. It is evident that generalizationS can more than as to men jurors so far as leniency is concerned.
 Participation of women in jury service both on the petit juries and
 on the grand juries make for i'm
 telligent interest in the courts. The
 community has not understood con

 have crept into our judicial system I am confident that the parucipa ton of women in jury service is an essen tial step toward the realization of that universal justice which is one of the
