Ry FRANK JENKINS
'T'HIS writer, for the past' three
weeks, has been serving on the
jury. H has been an interesting
and valuable experience an ex
perience that has cleared up many
misunderstandings and straighten
ed out many inaccurate conclusions
about the courts and the jury sys
tem. VF you are an average citizen,
busy with your own affairs, your
inclination will be to dodge jury
service. If you are called, you will
be tempted to try to get excused
on one pretext or another.
Here is this writer's advice: Re
sist the temptation. Go ahead and
do your duty, even if it does in
convenience you; or even cost you
some money.
ou will learn a great deal you
ought to know about a very im
portant branch of our government.
And you will discover that some
of the things you THOUGHT you
knew aren't true at all.
TIERE is a statement you have
often heard: "Juries are below
the average in intelligence, because
those who are best qualified to
serve display their native shrewd
ness by getting off, leaving only
those who are not quite up to par."
That isn't true nt least, general
ly it isn't true. Most jury panels are
made up of intelligent, thoughtful
citizens, possessing good minds and
being quite capable of reaching ac
curate conclusions from the evi
dence presented to them.
This writer has seen no evidence
of the shirking of duty.
tffERE is another common belief:
"Really intelligent people
won't be permitted to sit on t a
jury, because the lawyers won't ac
cept anyone but low-grade morons
who never read the papers, never
talk to anyone, and haven't an idea
about what is going on around
them."
The lawyers, of course, don't
want jurymen who hold violent
prejudices. Neither would YOU, if
you were on trial In a criminal
case, or were the plaintiff or the
defendant in a civil case.
Hut in three weeks of jury duty
this writer has seen no evidence of
captiousness on the part of law
yers. He has seen PLENTY of evi
dence that all the average lawyer

The rivers and harbor bill pass

the Umpqua river, assuring one
of the finest deep water harbors on

a much deeper channel. It is
thought that the south jetty, by
creating a great surge basin inside
the river, will scour out much of

away with a vast amount of ex

we do that the existing facilities,

"If events prove us wrong In any

ently came here and went to the
rock for a picnic.
Pleas Overheard
Tho family had been seen walk
ing up the rock- In the morning.
A boy reported to the police later
he bad heard the woman pleading
with the man, but he did not know
the nature of the trouble between
them.
II. was the "police theory that the '
family started to the picnic at the
lop of the cliff and that Spang
seized them one by one and hurled,
them over the edge.
Capture Evaded
Spang clambered 75 feet down,
the face of the rock after he had,
thrown his victims over and sat
down on a protruding ledge. He
was there more than an hour, oc
casionally tossing a pebble Into the
air. A city fireman was lowered to
within a few feet of the man and
tried to engage him in conversa-
tion until police could capture him
He was not successful, he reported
later. Spang then took orf bis
shoes and jumped 70 feet or more.

roll over and over and then tllsap
