THUKSDAY, MAY 28. 1891.
The Jury Was Hung.
It was two o'clock in tho morning,
Tho town was wrapped in profound
slumber. Tho wind swept, across tho
land at a fearful gale and moaned and
rattled at tho windows. Darkness was
thick and terrible, and over and anon
camo driving tain against tho panes
to increase tho dreariness of tho bcenc.
What more awful night for such a
deed as the one wo arc about to relate.
Tho jury had hanged itself 1
Thoro lay twelve men in that upper
room, iind "hangin' was too good for
'em." They didn't liko it. They de
murred, but were overruled. They
protested, but it was all in vain. They
moved to strike out, but tho bailiff had
tho key.
Now tho reason they assigned for
ties state of affairs at such an hour
was that they were sent up thoro to
agree, which they never could do; it
was a boneless task. For twolvo hours
they had balloted, and questioned, and
and argued, and demonstrated, and
weighed testimony what thoy could
remember of it and at tho end of
such a struggle thoy deliberately
haiiecd themselves, lying carelessly
about the jury room on bcnclms, tables
or tho lloor, all, save ono, fast asleep
It was tho sleep of tho just, for every
ono had stood fust to his convictions
Jt was a scene wo cannot describo nor
portray. You remember that the
urchin told tho artist "Good sir, you
can't paint sound." Neither can we
Had Nast been there ho could have
produced a picturo moro striking than
Mark Twain's Modern Jury; but ho
wasn't there, and it is past. Now had
wo said "Tho jury bo hanged," the
meaning would bo different; but wo
did not, for wo were among them and,
ns dead men tell no tales, that would
havo boon against us in the future
Wo therefore, for tho timo being, for
got tho present situation and rambled
back over tho paths that led up to it,
Tho case had been in court before
Thoro had been hitches and confusion,
delays, disputes and debates, with a
layover to tho present court. Several
follow citizens had figured before tho
court to testify, and there tho jury
stood, as a lamb buforo its shearer, and
opened not its mouth, but oneo. Wo
listoned acutely to everything, followed
tho witnesses along their broken and
unbroken chain of evidence (except
when counsel would object or move to
strike out) and the attorneys to tho
end of their thread of argument, and
it was all liko tho limb that knocked
tho fellow simple ft was too long
Jt hit tho whole jury. Thoro had been
whiskov firing and cross tiring, and
strango and far-fetched interrogatories
The attorneys had disagreed, which
was not now or uncommon. Tho
jnduo had ruled and weighed tho law
and tho evidence, and done all that
could bo done to decido tho causo, ex
cept not to decide it, for this ho want
cd to leave to tho jury twolvo honest
jurymen, tho plaintilfs peers who
were to tako tho evidence as it camo,
distorted, crude and ill-shaped, having
been torn to tatters and picked into
fragments by the attorneys, and
hedged about with instructions, and
render a fair and impartial verdiot.
Tho learned judgo said: "You aro
tho solo judges of tho credibility of tho
witnesses and tho weight, of thoir testi
mony; tho appearance of tho witness
upon tho stand ; his apparent candor
or lack of it; his means of knowledge
of tho tilings testified; his interest in
tho result of tho causo being tried; tho
reasonableness of his story ; of these
and all the facts and circumstances nt
rolated to the testimony you aro to
judgo, applying thereto your common
sonso and general knowlodgo of men
and things."
This was tho task beforo us, and wo
tvolvo wore to go away and weigh
tlicso various matters and return a
unanimous vordiot for plaintiff or for
defendant, with ono juryman a brothor-in-law
to defendant. Wo had boon se
lected becauso wo know nothing about
tho causo and no questions asked or
probabilitcs weighed as to whether wo
over would know anything about it.
Wo heard tho evidence as delivered by
tho witnesses, yot mado no minute
that could guido us in our delibera
tions, Tho court and counsel had
this before them in full, yot tho jury
must tako up and divido botweeu tho
parties, bring ordor out of chaos, jus
tice out of Hat contradictions and nu
merous absurd and unreasonable
statements, and wo must bo unani
mous and harmonious in our decision ;
wo must try first immpressions, and if
thoy wero all alike tho work'was dono;
olso wo must examine instructions,
recall tho testimony, discuss tho pro
ceedings and thon agroo upon a vor-
diet, or clso wo must bo hanged in a
dreary room where there arc nono of
the comforts of lifo, only a few hard
chairs or benches.
If men have candor and sense, and
cannot agrco when reason is weary
and patience exhausted, why then bo
hanccd because they are men if a dc-
c;8ion ja rcaci1C(i by sheer endurance.
If men yield rather than freeze out, or
Bubmit because they are bored to
death, who would givo a penny for
their verdict? Often we think a man
stubborn because he stands out for tho
richt as ho sees it. So long as tho
:,lry systcm remains as it is, there had
as wou 00 nono As well try a case
before five or seven men as twelve,
aml (l nmjorjty 0f them had just as
wuu decide, for nine cases out of ten it
is a compromise, wiiere a part oi ino
jury surrender to got tree oi torture
and annoyance. True it is, that this
is an ancient and sacreu institution,
but tin's does not make up for all tho
shortcomings belonging thereto. Twen
ty-tlnee men on regular pay, besides
many bystanders or special jurymen
for several days of tho time, and many
of the jurors, no matter how compe
tent or ready they may bo to perforin
tho duty to which they are sworn,
challenged off by tho attorneys who
figure to make up a jury for their case.
To challenge a juror for cause is prop
er, but to Miako up a jury the complex-
0f w,jui flt ti1(Jjr Cil80 jH base.
Then tho testimony as it is should go
to tho jury so that thoy can weigh it
intelligently and decido fairly. All of
those things, and moro too, we thought
of in that drearv situation.
.1. W. Minniok.
Cain's Wife.
"Whore did Cain got his wife?" was
asked in my hearing not long since.
Somohow tho question interested mo,
and when sitting at my writing table,
on which I always keon a Bible, I
thought to read more particularly of
the record concerning Cain. I com
menced at tho beginning of Genesis to
read, and in the first chapter, 20th,
27th and 28th verses, 1 found that
God created man in his own image,
male and female created ho them ; and
commanded thorn to multiply and re
plenish tho earth. Tho .'list verso of
tho samo chapter reads: "And God
saw everything that ho had made, and
behold, it was very good." In the
second chapter, 0th verse, tho last
clauso reads : "And there was not a
man to till tho ground." In tho 7th
verso is recorded that "tho Lord God
formed man of tho dust of tho ground."
Tho 15th verso says: "God put tho
man in tho garden to dress it and keep
it, and then follows tho command
concerning tho fruits of tho garden.
In verso 18 the Lord God said: "It is
not good for man to bo alone. I will
make an helpmeet for him." Verses
21 and 22 tell that God took a rib from
the man and made a woman of it, and
brought her to tho man who aceoptcd
her to bo his wife. Thon tho record
says dial of tho woman was born a son
whom thoy called Cain ; and again sho
bore a second sou and thoy called his
name Abel, In chapter four, lid, lth,
and fith verses, tho record says: "In
tho process of lime Cain and Abel
each brought an offering to the Lord,
of tho fruits and tho firstlings. And
tho Lord had respect to A hoi's olfer-
mg, hut not to uaiu rsow alter a
time Cain slow his brother Abel, for
which tho Lord cursed him from tho
face of tho earth, and vorso 1(5 says:
"Cain went out from tho presence of
tho Lord, and dwelt in tho land of
Nod, on tho east of Kdon."
Now I shall presume that in tho
land of Nod, or in somo of its environs,
did dwell the first pair that God cre
ated in his own imago and likeness,
and that Cain becoming enamored of
ono of thoir fair daughters took her to
wifo; and 1 shall further assumo, in
tho ahuonco of ovidonco to tho contra
ry, that this first pair woro tho pro
genitors of tho sons of God (read the
1st and 2nd verses of tho sixth chapter)
that tok to themselves wives of tho
fair daughters of men. If any ono
can givo a moro plausible solution of
tho question thoy will confer a favor
on all by giving tho samo to tho pub
lic. 11.0. Emkuv.
