Arthur c. Train Declares
Women Should Not Be Exempt

Arthur c. Train has long studied crimi-
nal juries at close range, although he Is
still young in years As Assistant District
Attorney, as the creator of Tut and Mr..
Tutt" who as n legal team carried juries
where they would, he is an expert on jurors
of all kinds. In recent article in the
Saturday Erening Post he tells of Twelve
Good Women and True"
AS he sets forth there. women have been
serving on juries for about half century
in this country. for way out in Laramie,
Wyo., they were held to be eligible for that
duty.
1T is a matter of common sense" said
Mr. Train, that women who are voters,
as GALL of them are now who are citizens,
should expect to be jurors. AS jurors they
would be expected to sit in all kinds of
cases. There is no reason whatsoever for
their declining to serve In cases in which
there are details which may offend the
delicate sensibilties Of persons of refine
ment. AS a matter Of fact, many Of these
details are printed i'm the newspapers and
tho average woman is fully aware of what
Is going on i'm the community Such knowl-
edge is not limited to men-women and
children know about Il ALSO
ut is no pleasure for any one to listen
TO such prurient details. But IL men are
to be bored by having 10 hear them-for
such testimony is boresome-women should
not be exempt.
"The fear that they will be locked up all
night IL made to serve on jurles need not
deter women from dscharging their duty.
There are In the city of New York probably
holf tn, t1o
course Of year in which the jury is locked
up for the night. In such instances the
women jurors could be placed in charge Of
a female ballff, just as the men who are on
the jury arc under the watchful eye of
some deputy sheriff. Indeed, being locked
up all night would not hurt any one, and
It gives TO Jury service spice of adventure.

should be changed to work for the best
interests of the women. The leaders of the
suffrage movement ought to be the leaders
in jury service and aid by their presence
In expelling from the minds of other women
the natural shyness they would feel in being
called to sit with strange men in jury box
and later confer with them behind the doors
of the jury room"
Judge Talley differs with his colleague
and declares that he would not care to pre-
side at trial where a woman should be
tried by jury of women woman will
continue to be a creature of infinite variety"
said the Judge. Her very delicate reserve
will always be the very breath of moral
life and the basis Of her Incompatible
charm. SO long as she Is woman her emo
tional strain will dominate her rational
processes and she will continue to be the
inspiration of romance, poetry and art as
long as civilization will endure.
"It is my thought women should be free
from jury service. They should be ex-
empted because the work which the laws
of nature have designed for performance
by women Is of paramount Importance 10
any service which they might be called
upon to perform on jury Public policy
requires that certain laws be made for the
protection Of women for no other reason
than that they are women. There Is no
room for doubt that some women would
make better Jurors than some men, but that
observation Is not complimentary to women
nor does II qualify them for service"
Judge Charles c. Mott of the same court
says that It is not question Of sex at all.
There are some women who will make
good jurors and some will make bad jurors
just as there are men," said the Judge,
but most men are bad Jurors. We have a
greater number OF nasty. disgusting cases
in the criminal courts than people suppose
If we had female Jurors they would not
only have TO sit and listen to the evidence,
but they would have to go out and discuss
1t. Some Of the men on the jury might be
clean minded and decent about 1t and some
might not. 1t might be very dsagreeable
for girl of twenty-three to sit on jury"

Curiosity as Apparent
In Men as in Women

Mr.. Battle declared that the reference
to women visiting courts out of morbid
curiosity when divorce cases or murder
trials were occupying the attention Of the
court was hardly justified.
"It Is true" said he, that sometimes a
few women do come to the court when
something salacicus is being heard. They
are, however, representative Of very lin
tied class and often two or three of them
are made to figure as 'throng.' There are
men who have the same morbid curiosity
mere spectators or lis, ers in the courts,
who have no real concern with the case
We do not think II morbid evidently for
men to have curiosity ahoIt disgusting de-
tails Of cases which do mot in any way
concern them. AS a matter cf fact curios-
ity Is not confined to any one sev.
Judge Otto A. Rosalsly Of the Court OF
General Sessions is heartily in favor Of en-
listing the services of women as jurors In
criminal cases. Equally opposed to the plan
is Judge Alfred J. Talley OF the same court
Judge Talley, IL may be stated, has had but
little experience as Judge, although ne
has been a practising attorney for many
years. Judge Rosalsky has had fifteen
years experience on the bench ana he has
drawn his conclusions from practical ex-
perience.
1t was Judge Rosalsky who first assigned
women to defend women accused of crime
He says he finds the service equally as good
as that rendered by the male lawyer. He
feels that woman gets at the heart of a
woman quicker thdn man, conditions be-
ing equal. He is Of the opinion that
mixed jury of men and women could handle
any class Of criminal business that might
he presented to IL.
"Now that the women have the right to
vote" said Judge Rosalsky at would seem
to follow that they should be qualified by
law to serve as Jurors. But the main point
of the argument for and against the propo-
sition Is just how the present jury law

improper in submitting to mixed juries
questions arising out of conjugal Difficult
ties. In such matters as these women are
at least fifty per cent factor in the
disposition of them she should have at
least fifty per cent. participation.
George Gordon Battle, who has had a
wide experience with jurors both in the
criminal and civil courts, believes that the
magistrate should have authority to excuse
women from serving as jurors, when the
details of the case are so prurient as to
offend their delicate sensibiities.
There are many cases." continued he,
where no doubt women would prefer not
to serve. The divorce suit in the British
courts which has produced all this discus
sion may have abounded in details which
might be deemed too offensive and sordd
for the average feminine listener. 1 see
no reason why women should not be ex-
cused from serving on juries If they so
desire.
new in such method of selecting Jurors
1t is well known that some classes of the
community may be excluded from certain
kinds Of cases because Of the fear of. bias
In the selection of women jurors I would
feel that they are as likely to be unpreju-
diced and to have as clear an idea of the
case as the average man.
"On intellectual grounds there is no rea-
son why we should not have mixed juries
II has been said that men reason and that
women are governed by intuition. This is
merely a saying, however, which has no
real basis In fact. Women are quick In
reasoning and mixed jury ought to reach
the highest ideal of what jury should be,
means of submitting a question of fact to
those who represent the average common
sense of community.
Women might be excused from juries
