LAW AND COMMON SENSE.
In spue hi tin* progress I tuff
has been made in the last few
years toward doing away with
some of Hie old, foolish forms
and precedents in court proced
ure, cases are reported almost
daily which indicate that some
of the judges are still clinging
to the past and denouncing the
popular demand for reform.
In an important case in a Chi
cago court the other day a juror
asked the court’s permission to
ask a witness a question. The
court held that such a thing
would be very improper. The
jury must take its evidence as
the evidence was strained out
through the interminable jockey
ing of lawyers. A plain, direct
question by a juryman seeking
to get at tin* truth amidst the
jumble of conflicting interests
was not to be tolerated.
J,ast week in Springfield, Ohio,
a murder trial was in progress.
The judge noticed a juror mak
ing notes of the testimony. He
ordered the juryman to destroy
the notes, and warned the juror
'that he must rely on his memory
alone.
Yet there is a theory and a sup
position (hat the purpose of a
trial at law is to gel al Hi*1 truth,
at the facts, at approximate .jus
tice.
Is it any wonder lliai mere lay

being made to conform to com
