COUNTRYSIDE HOME, HAWLEY *Your campaign for the "Womien on' Juries" bill in Illinois is miost deserv- ing ofsu*ccess. As a juror 1 haJ 1a chance to seet how women's intelli- gtnt effort to base a verdict uponi the law and the'evidence ratlier than. on feelings or, prejudice bas hlelped to further the cause of justice in the state of'Ohio. For example, ,onte case 'involved a. traction conipany versus. a nian who c lainied damages for injury. The.evi- (lence clearly showed thiat the plain- tiff wvas guilty, of contributory liegli- gence. and the judge, in his charge to the jury, warned us that if we found evidence of contributory niegli- -tence on the, part'.1 f the plain tiff, lie cotild îîot'collect damages., As, foreman iof' the jury, it becarne m.y (luty to get a verdict one way or, the other. There were three ol<I inien in the panel and ciklit worn.eî. 1)esides myseif. The three nmen voted against the traction cornpaniv-on the tzrQund that "the poor fellow' ougýh t to- Let some.thing for being hurt and the traction conîoany could' afford to pay."

The evidence. onthis point -was quite êcearly agýaiIst .the The impressive point 'to nie wyas, that the three men, appDarently ro-ý fessional jurors, sat tight on their (lecisioil without making the slightest attempt to reason further on the ha- sis of the law and the evidence. The womnen. however, were much iiii5re open minded and eventually a ver- dict was brouglit in absolving the traction com'panv of blam.e.,, 1 Me later learned that,,t.his .case- !îad, gone to trial pr.eviouslyl and that a jury,: had rendered a, judgment ini favor, of :the plaintiff. The traction :omi.pany appealed and the Ohio su-, preme court reversed the decision and' remanded the case for a,: new trial. 1 feel confident' that were it flot for lie women on this jury, there would have been a second miscarriage of ustice.
