The following shows that law can
punish a juryman who does nofc do
his duty. And there are such juryman in every community. Ono de-
sen ting vote causes a disagreement of
a jury and too often—even one case
out ofthe many occuring daily would
be too often—allows the culprit or
still wore, the criminal to go scot
free. This class of cases are increasing with fearful rapidity and the
sooner jurymen learn that they are
not there to follow individual desire,
but as public servants fulfilling the
truthful letter of the law, the sooner
he will be to the realization of the
"hopo of reform" in the jury system
