I.o-.y trials always have in them
arm'.. repetition and rubbish that
mods to be sifted and separated so
that the chaff will not appear wheat.
The time usually occupied in this Is
considerable, all of which Is saved if
the trial Judge throughout the trie!
will do his duty fairly and fearlessly.
The day of the sob speech is passed.
The simple, homely Illustration is
quite es effective as It ever waB, but
fe?rs or the spread-eagle method of
•Id has taken Its departure.
Counsel can very much aid the jury
in marshalling the facts like a general
'n an army, with a view of showing
what is proven and what is not proven
under the rules of law, pointing out
the legal effect and the logical force
of each fact separately and collective
ly. Counsel not only gain great ad
vantage In thus appealing to the Jury’s
reason and Judgment, but provide the
jurors with the necessary arguments
with which to make an effective appeal
to their fellow Jurors In the Jury room
when deliberating.
By this method there is little likeli
hood that the Jury will he diverted
rom the real points in controversy;
jad it is, therefore, more likely that
the verdict will respond to the facts
proven.
It Is rare indeed that any counsel
can assist and instruct the jury to
advantage for more than half an hour
to an hour.
I remember an occasion when one
if the old-fashioned McSweeney
peeches was made to the jury In the
. rial of a hotly contested case where
in indulgent trial court granted coun
sel, as I now recall, two hours a side
n a petty larceny case. The defend*
nl’s counsel made one of those rip
caring, thunderbolt speeches in which
mo roundly abused everyone connected
with the prosecution. Counsel for the
state absolutely answered that whole
argument of noise and abuse in the
■following simple words:
"Gentlemen of the jury, among our
intelligent American people the time
has not yet come when abuse is argu
ment; ridicule, reason; or sound, either
substance or sense.” The counsel pro
ceeded then to address himself to the
facts.
The jury have more intelligence
than they are usually credited with,
rhat intelligence should be respected
oy counsel in their arguments. My
'Experience in talks with Jurors abso
lutely confirms my judgment in this
respect.
If the average trial judge has one
fault more common than another, it is
m the long technical charges that he
delivers to the jury. They are often
mere treatises on the law entirely
suitable and interesting to a Harvard
lev. school, but not to a jury of farm
ers. business men and laborers.
s there are few' substantial differ
ences as to fact, so there are also but
tew propositions of law actually in
volved. Let these be put clearly and
concretely to fit the case on trial. The
jury will better understand it, and,
therefore, be the better able to apply
it when they get in their juryroom.
The equities of tlie case will therebjP
be given the paramount place they de
serve, and the economies of the case
will likewise not suffer; for the aver
the trial Indern la ahniit
three times as long as there is any
need. "
The paramount importance of the
trial judge in dispatching the business
of the court must clearly appear from
uiese several articles. If there be un
.•’.ccsissary delay, he is responsible for
:t. If there be unduly prolonged and
detailed cross-examination upon Im
material matter the trial judge Is re
on sible. If there he numerous
engthy arguments upon petty, trivial
m- technical objections, the trial judge
:: sponsible. If there be unneces
• time consumed by lengthy argu
ments upon matters concerning which
there is no room for doubt, the trial
fudge is responsible. If there be a pro
longed tieatise upon the law, In sclen
:i :c phrase or technical terms* away
av :vc the jury’s ability to understand,
;cu using them while the charge i3
given and still more when they
into the jury room, the trial judge
z responsible.
