The System l Pad
The illness of a juror in the Nan
Patterson case in New York after a
great deal of the evidence had been
put in and the consequent failure to
proceed further, calls
to the present jury system in
vogue all over country. Twelve
men constitute a jury, and it takes
every man to bring in a verdict.
When one member gets sick the
whole falls through. The com-
every-day layman cannot

be changed, either by providing
that in an emergency of this kind.
eleven men could and determine
the case, or by making the full panel
fourteen and allowing twelve of
them to finish it I f course dour
this way, where we seldom have
trials requiring weeks to determine
we do not have failures often,
though they do occur sometimes,
and the resulting is enormous,
causing a trial from the beginning
as if nothing had been done Ia the
New York case it is going to be
cult to get another jury, for the
far adduced baa been
published and commented on,
that a man who has read or heard
it will not be competent. It
is a bad system and surely needs
some attention. The risk is top
