Gold Hill
Public Address Syiitm Found Adapted To Couri Room
But Judicial Dignity Frowns On Its Uie
Br Paul F. Ellli
United Press Science Writer
. New York, Apr. 20 (U.R
Science has developed the put
lic address system to a fine point
yet microphones ana loua speaK
ers are generally not accepted
for use in the courtroom.
Perhaps they never will be,
because the dignity of the court
must at all times be upheld.
Yet, a dignified p.a. system
might help the administration of
justice.
Manv witnesses are frightened
when they go on the stand and
sometimes their voice is barely
more than a whisper. Many
times their remarks have to be
repeated by the court reporter,
and usually because an attorney
requested It. There must be
times when a juror would like
to have a statement repeated.
At the "mercy killing" trial
In Manchester, N. H., the jurors
often had to lean lorwara in
their chairs to get what the wit
ness was saying. It has been so
In many other trials.
A system such as used by the
United Nations might be applied
In the court room. Delegates of
the UN speak into a microphone
and the comments are picked up
by miniature radio receivers in
headsets which other delegates
or spectators have. To prevent
a case of "mike fright," the mi
crophone at the witness stand
could be hidden and the witness
could speak in his normal voice.
Attorneys Questioning prospec
tive Jurors hardly ever
I whether the person has defective
hearing. Many persons who are
hard of hearing retrain lrom ad
mitting their defect, which in
turn might affect his qualifica
tion as a good Juror.
The question of tape recording
of witnesses' testimony in court
also has been raised many times.
Again, science has developed
tape recording to a fine point.
Several types of recording ma
chines are available. The taped
recording might possibly be
used by Juries in deliberating
the case, it has been pointed out.
The American Medical associa
tion, according to reports, sought
to have a complete transcription
of the "mercy killing" trial of
Dr. Hermann N. Sander but the
cost was too high.
