That Reversal Of Convic-

Asserts Many Could Be
Avoided.

The Indiana Supreme Court,
burdened with five times as

before it seven years ago, is
impeded in the prompt admin
istration Of justice to such an
extent that civil litigants'
rights in the court face destruc-
ton, Attorney General Arthur

Eighty-five per cent of the in
creased number Of cases before the
court arise from prohibition law con-
vietions in State courts. Clerk Zach
T. DUNCAN Of the court revealed
Beside the multiplicity of laws
the upgrade trend Of reversal Of
convictions is Blamed by Gilliom for
the encountered docket. Dungan's
records show there is only a Sc per
cent likelihood of lower court con
victions being upheld.
Percentage Too High
GiIliom declared the percentage Of
reversals is too high.
Most of these reyersals could be
AVOIDED, he said, 'sby careful ef-
1Ebrt in the trial courts. In some
cases reversed there ought never
to have been convictions. The guide
for trial courts is the established
procedure and the constitution
Trials ought to be conducted so that
there will be certainty of affirmance
on appeal"
Criminal appeals have increased
from forty-two in 1919 to 215 in 1925.
"There are at present." Gilliom
said, 1852 of these cases, ninety.
seven of which arise under the pro.
hibition law, fully briefly, awaiting
consideration and decision by the
court. Others await preparation for
consideration.
Delays Civil Appeals
Criminal appeals having priority
over civil appeals, litigants in civil
appeals find long delay, annoying
and frequently derogatory, if not
destructive, of rights" he said.
with the sustained enforcement
OF the prohibition law as well as the
whole criminal code, in a State
which has a growing population, the
Supreme Court docket will become
more, rather than less, congested.' .

jammed with prohibition cases and
other criminal suits arising from
the multiplicity of laws, are hope.
