WITNESSES LESS APT
PERJURE THEMSELVES
IN FACING COURT ROOM
DENVER, Colo., June 11 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Few persons are good
enough liars to face an entire court
room and perjure themselves. When
every eye in the court room is focused
on one person, who is seated so that
he can return the gaze, the witnesses
will tell the truth.
This fact is declared by Judge Julian
H. Moore and Judge Henry Hersey
to have been proved in a series of ex
periments covering several weeks in
the Denver district court. As a result,
the jury box has been reconstructed
so that the jurors sit with their backs
to the court room; the witness box
is on a level with the platform on
which the judge sits and the witness
is forced to sit where he can see the
entire court room as well as the judge
and jury.
The experiments showed, according
to the two judges, that placing of the
witness in a chair beneath the level
of the judge and jury and in such a
position that the witness cannot see
more than a portion of the court room
audience has a psychological effect
which encourages a dishonest person
in perjury.
"There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind that the moral effect of this
arrangement is advantageous to jus
tice,” Judge Moore said, in comment
ing on the new plan. “To place the
witness in this prominent position,
with every eye on the court room
focused on him, increases the atmos
phere of solemnity and importance
that is connected with the occasion.
The witness cannot help realizing the
dignity of the law and weigh his state*
ments with care.”
As a result, all the Denver courts
will be arranged according to the new
plan.
