JURY DICTATION
MISSOURIAN HA8 BILL AIMED TO

United Press Service
WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 21.
Dictation by federal judges- of Juries'
verdicts would be prevented under the
terms of a bill Representative Dyer of
Mt'ssouri has prepared, he says.
"Procedure rules now permit Judges
to make stump speeches from the
tench, practically decide cases and
dictate what verdicts Juries shall
bring In," Bald Dyer. "So much lati
tude is allowed in their Instructions
that they sometimes usurp the func
tions of the'jury. I shall urge a law to
tequire them to give their jury Instruc
tions In writing, and to not improperly
Influence them;
"A poor man now has difficulty, also,
in using the federal judiciary. Because
of technicalities it is almost impossible
fpr him to litigate. The federal Judi
ciary should be made more popular
and accessible to the poor man."
