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 why the system could not 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 great. Greensboro Record Sign No Papers.
