War Department were on the jury,
their personal interest might sway
their Judgment?
These and other like illustrations
instantly suggest themselves and prove
unanswerably the wisdom of the rule.
But beyond all of these is the main
consideration that the strength Of the
law is the respect of the people for
the law; and there can be no respect
for the law except in the recognition
and enforcement Of those basic prin-
ciples of justice which inhere in the
very idea Of free government and
which it was the object and purpose
Of the Bill Of Rights to secure and
protect"
One Of the essential elements In the
common law which the American colo
nists brought with them from England
was the right of trial by an impartial
Jury, the court declared, and was en-
bodied in the sixth amendment to the
Constitution.
It always has been recognized that
it is not permissible to permit clerk
or employe of a private party to sit
as q Juror in civil case, stated JUS
tice Groner. adding: "The rule but
recognizes the unalterable fact that
our human nature inevitably looks
with favor upon the side that supplies
the means of existence. And it would
seem, in fairness, that the rule should
and ought to apply equally to an en-

Crawford Case Relied Upon.
In its opinion, the court relied on
the case of Crawford against the
United States, which was tried before
the Supreme Court in 1908, when the
question was whether United States
employe might serve on petty jury
in q criminal case in the District.
In that case, the Supreme Court
said that, to maintain public respect
for the system of trial by jury, 1t is
necessary that the jurors not only
be fair and impartial. but that they
also should be free from any relation
to either side which might lead to
suspicion of their impartiality.
Justice Robb's dissenting opinion
was based on an Interpretation of
the Crawford case opinion. He held
that the Supreme Court ruling was
derived from a consideration only
of the common law rule, since there
was no statutory provision incon-
sistent with the rule and the time.
Since there Is now such a statute,
he said, the Crawford case opinion
should not be relied upon to invalidate
the present jury service law. He
said the new law removes the dis
qualification of more than 100000
Government employees who rank high
in fitness for jury service in point
of intelligence and character.

APPEAL PRESSED
FOR HAUPTMANN
Counsel to Ask Court of
Pardons. for Mercy, With
Death Six Days Off.
BY the Associated Press.

TRENTON, N. j., March 25.-With
death IN the electric chair facing
Bruno Richard Hauptmann in six
days, his counsel. c. Lloyd Fisher, was
expected to make a desperate appeal
for mercy today to the State Court OF
Pardons.
At State prison, preparations went
forward for the dual execution next
Tuesday night of Hauptmann, con-
victed Lindbergh baby killer, and
Charles zied, Philadelphia gangster,
who slew a Camden detective In a
hold-up.
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman said he
would do nothing about answering the
invitation Of DR.. John F. (Jafsie)
Condor, Lindbergh ransom negotiator,
to meet him in his Bronx home until
he can confer tomorrow with Attorney
General David T. Wilentz.
The Governor probably will decide
then whether he will go to the Bronx
to ask DR.. Condor the questions he
said ought to be answered to clear up

Lindbergh crime.
viii Not Write Questions.
II am not going to submit any ques-
tions in writing" Hoffman said.
This is not going to be a social
visit"
The Governor has in his Office a
paper from United States Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings about
CASTOR B. Means, who is serving
Federal penitentiary term for extort-
ing money from Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean. Washington society woman.
who has taken an interest in the case.
Cummings, on vacation at Boca
Raton, Fla, said record of the Means
extortion case was sent to New Jersey
police at their request, but ! don't
recall sending the Governor any
document containing statements from
Means about the Lindbergh case"
However" he added. "it's entirely
probable that the record which was
sent to New Jersey some time ago as
a routine matter contained some
things Means said about the case"
Fisher obtained application blanks
Monday for the Pardons Court ap-
peal. Numerous questions must be
answered in the papers and Haupt-
mann's signature attached before the
filing.

Court petty larceny conviction of
Raymond Wood, who was sentenced to
240 days in Jail. The jury which tried
him included Treasury Department
clerk, a Navy Yard clerk and a re-
cipient Of Civil War pension. All
three had been challenged by Woods
attorney. Robert I. Miller, but the
Judge allowed them to be impaneled.
When Miller indicated his inten-
tion to appeal from the conviction,
United States Attorney Garnett add
ed his request that the appellate
court hear the case, since a vital
issue was involved. Attorneys William
E. Leahy and William j. Hughes,
jr., Joined Miller in presentation of
arguments.
1T may we'll be that in the case
now under consideration the presence
of two employees of the Government
on the jury did not affect the result"
stated Justice Groner. But because
this is or may be so in the present
case is not conclusive of the question.
It is just as likely that in the next
case similar conditions will affect the
conclusion.
Possible Situations Cited.

Hot on the heels of itc brilliant 35-27 victory over Wilby Saturday night, Crosby hoopsters prepared to "get even" with Ansonia WedneS- day of this week in game on the Copper City court. Showing "the cid fight" after trailing Wilby by six points late in the third period, Crosby's belated attack swept the veteran Wilby combination off its feet to win going away. OutpIaying the favored commercial high school team in the pinch, plus three quick baskets that came when they were needed most, Crosby again demonstrated that its pre-game poe sition of underdog may have been just what was needed to spur the Blue and White boys to the neces- sary effort to win when the going is toughest.
 On The Hop
 Wilby started fast and earned Tel lead in short order, but Har- rison, Chipman, Murphy and Pran- skitis brought Crosby into the game soon, though Darlington and Sal- dukas assured Wilby a 1l-8 lead af- ter the first eight minutes of play. The same Crosby quartette took hand in the scoring during the sec ond period, but Saldukas kept Wilby in front by 1914 at half time, and had a 23-17. edge on Crosby, its best of the game in the third per- iod, which wound up 26-23 in Wll- by's favor as Murphy's pair of hoops brought the Crosby count neariy even. The Crosby sweep in the last period with Harrison, Garner, Chip man and Murphy scoring put Cros- by ahead by plenty of margin with only one minute left to play, Mur- phys 10 points leading the Crosby count with Saldukas being top scoi- CT for Wilby with an equal num- Der of markers.
