THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(WRITER TELLS HOW JUDGE CAN INFLUENCE JURY Article Cites Cases That Show Miscarriage of Justice. A youth, deranged slightly by head injuries suffered in boyhood, faces trial for murder of his father-in-law. Put yourself in his place in a Hoosier courtroom. j There is no question as to the l youth’s guilt, but the circumstances are extenuating. Underlying the murder is the j story of a wife attacked in youth by her father, and shortly before the \ slaying a similar attack occurred. The trial judge forbids the wife to present this testimony to the jury. | The husband is sentenced to be electrocuted. Actions Exposed This miscarriage of justice, because of faulty actions of the trial ! judge, is exposed in an article by ! Alan S. Hays, attorney, "on “What Is Wrong With Justice" in the December issue of Tower's Mystery magazine. Dr. Harry Elmer Barnes, contributing editor of the Scripps-How-ard newspapers and the Indianapolis Times, in a foreword to the article says: “The jury trial is all too often little more than trial by judge and judicial prejudice. The procedure of Judge Webster Thayer in the Sacco-Vanzetti case is only a peculiarly atrocious example." In Mr. Hays’ article he says, “The judge should give no indication of his opinion of the defendant’s guilt jor innocence. Yet during the trial, | unless he has been very careful, his questions, his gestures, his facial expresions, perhaps merely the | flicker of an eyelid, will have indi- ] cated his belief in the prisoner’s | guilt. Jury Watches Judge “Lawyers for defendants often complain of this. The jury all too often may convict solely in reliance on the judge's obvious state of mind. “In one case where the jury stayed out too long, it was explained later that the judge’s impartiality had made the jurors delay decision. “There are judges who openly air their prejudices in-open court. They do this by delivering an unfair charge to the jury, by hampering the defendant’s attorneys, by showing skepticism of defense witnesses or by displaying antagonism toward the defendant,” says Mr. Hays. In citing the case of the youth ( tried for murder of father-in-law | and the barring of testimony giving a valid reason (attack of daughter by father) for the crime, Mr. Hays gives the judge’s words as: Not All Are Unfair “This should have been brought to trial in the life-time of her father. ... It would be no justification of the murder (the attack on the wife of the slayer). It is an issue that doesn’t belong here. I do not propose to try the dead man inJ stead of the defendant who is on j trial before us,” the judge ruled. “Os course,” continues Mr. Hays, | “not all of our judges are unfair. It I is the duty of the jury to decide the j defendant’s guilt solely on the evij dence of the trial. If the case is | famous, they may have been in- ! fluenced by newspaper accounts. In 1 this case, the public will be clam- ; oring for revenge and the jury re-

Drinks It and Prints It What’s Sauce for the Goose Is Sauce for the Gander, Thinks Disorderly Editor.

By United Press TJ OCKINGHAM, N. C.. Dec. 7.—A newspaper editor “who w y on't put his own misfortune in print has no right to publish another’s,” said Scott M. Thomas, coeditor of the Richomnd County Journal who this week wrote and printed the story of his own arrest on a charge of drunkenness.

In this week's edition of the Journal appeared a double column headline on the front page reading: “Richmond Journal Editor Goes Wet: Lands In Jail.” . The story read: “Scott M. Thomas, dry coeditor of the Richmond County Journal, mixed South Carolina corn liquor and Pennsylvania beer, drank too much of both and landed in jail here a few minutes after midnight Saturday. “He remained incarcerated two hours, being bailed out by a friend at 2 a. m. Sunday. In mayor's court yesterday, he was taxed with the costs, $5.85. He w r as charged with being drunk, but from general reports, he could , have been charged also with being | disorderly.” Thomas recounted that a little | boy in the Pee Dee mill village ; asked him: “Scott, are you going j to put this in the paper?” Thomas answered by saying in j his story: “An editor who won’t ] put his own misfortune in print has no right to publish another s.” Medical Instruments Taken Theft of a bag containing medical instruments valued at §SO from the car of Dr. H. F. Beckman. 514 Hume-Mansur building, while the automobile was parked near Methoj dist hospital, was reported to police i last night. tires merely to carry out the public’s will. “I am sure the jury believes themselves to be acting in a spirit of strict impartiality, but this they can not do. The criminal system has damned and doomed our prisoner i from the moment the arresting offiI cer laid eyes upon him,’’ he con--1 eludes.

! NORTHWESTERN HEAD APPROVES MERGER PLANS Too Many Institutions of Higher Learning, Says Dr. Scott. By United Press CHICAGO. Dec. 8 —Proposals for a merger of Chicago's two largest universities. Northwestern and Chicago. today were given the approval of Dr. Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern university. Plans for a merger of administration of the two universities, having a total enrollment of more than 10.000 students, have been under consideration for nearly a year. Both are priv at e 1 y-sustained schools. Trustees of the University of Chicago have irrevocably pledged themselvs not to make the merger as a means of securing tax exemptions on the property held by their university, Dr. Scott said. “The merger is no tax dodging scheme,” he said. “It W’ill take no property off the tax lists. This pledge should remove the suspicion that there is anything financially sinister in the plans now being worked out.” Dr. Scott said there are today in the United States 1,200 institutions of higher learning. That numoer should be reduced 50 per cent, not by eliminations, but by mergers, he said. Chickens Are Stolon After ransacking the home of Alva Carney. 409 West Raymond street, without taking anything of value, thieves last night went to the garage at the rear of the house and stole three chickens valued at $3.
