m/k THE Vi TIMES, |AT APBIL 21, 1906. WHAT THE COURT T I ROMANCE WAS STORY T The Ruling in the Rawlings Case is One of Wide Importance, Holding That the Exclusion of Names of Professional Men From Jury Box Is Not Unconstitutional. (From Tuesday’s Dally.) In delivering the opinion of the court in the Rawlings case and ex plaining the reasons therefor, Mr. Justice Holmes after citing the facts in tfte case, said: ‘‘When the grand jury was organized each of the ac cused filed a written challenge to the array on the grounds that while there are in Lowndes county many lawyers, many preachers, many min isters, many doctors, many engineers, and firemen of railroad trains, and many dentists, as many as ten of each class named or other large number of each of said class, all citi zens and residents of said county, and being competent and qualified jur ors as to age and unrightness, exper ience and intelligence and as to all the legal qualifications of a juror, yet each and every member thereof in the county, is expressly and purpose ly excluded from the grand jury ser vice by the commissioners falling and refusing to put any or said names in the box so that not benig in the box they cannot be legally drawn for ser vice. “This is a Mistake.” , “At the argument before this court” continued Justice Holmes, ‘‘the not uncommon misconception seemed to prevail that the requirement of due process of law took up the amend ment for the purposes of the case so that this court would revise the decis ion of the state court that he local provisions had been complied with. This is a mistake. If the state consti tution and lawr-as construed by the state court are consistent with the Fourteenth amendment, we can go no ^ further. The only question for us is whether a stato could authorize the course of proceedings adopted, if that course were prescribed by its consti tution In express terms. Not Result of Prejudice. Minister Returned the License and Walked Away When She Said Her Age was Fourteen—But Groom had Good Luck When he Went to Bar ber Shop for a Shave. (From Tuesday’s Daily.) A romantic wedding was nipped, in the bud last Saturday night at the res idence of Mr. Will Simms, who as', slats his father as ordinary of the county. A young widower and a young lady went to Mr. Simms’ residence to get a license to he married, and Mr.v Hamilton, the rector of the Episco pal church put in his appearance a few minutes later. The marriage was to have been performed by him at Mr. Simms' home, and all was ready for the nuptial vow3 to be taken when the minister began to ask some ques tions, which threw a change over the spirit of the couple's dreams. The license was bought from Mr. Simms with the understanding that the young lady was eighteen years of age. Before the minister began with tha ceremony he asked her her age, and she promptly ropiled fourteen. 1 “Didn't I tell you to say eighteen," w-hispered the man by her side. The minister returned the license to Mr. Simms, stating that he could I not perform the ceremony and Mr. I Simms promptly tore it up, returning the money to the young man. I A right funny thing occurred in collection with the attempted mar- ! riage in one of the barber shops that Jealous Father Set a Trap Which Invited a Man Whom he 8uspected to Hi* House and Then Left, Return ing Later and Opened Fire Upon Him, a Stray Bullet Killing his 10- Year Old Son. (From Tuesday’s Dally.) The Times has received a com munication from its correspondent at Morven giving additional particulars of the tragedy that occurred at the home of C. E. Lloyd Saturday night when Lloyd’s child was killed. It is said that Lloyd was jealous of a young man named Alex Davis, whom he thought had been too inti mate with Mrs. Lloyd. Lloyd wrdte to Davis to come to his house Saturday night, as he want ed to see him on business. Late Sat urday afternoon he left home, telling, his wife that he would he unable to get back that night. He returned later, however, and found young Dav is with his hat and coat off and sit ting on the bed in Mrs. Lloyd’s room. Without asking any questions, Lloyd began firing and one bullet crashed through the door of another room and entered the head of thdir ten-year-old son, killing him instant ly. Young Davis fled from the scene, but returned to the house Sunday morning after his hat, coat and $30 In money which he left in his flight but Lloyd would not let him have it. The remains of the little boy were carried up the Georgia Southern road for burial. Lloyd is a woods-rlder for Its\j)rdiWform ifhe aflSWi need much discussion. The nature of the classes excluded was not such as was likely to affect the conduct of the members as jurymen or to make them act otherwise than those who were drawn would act. The exclusion was not the result of race or class preju dice. It does not even appear that any of the defendants belonged to any of the excluded .classes. The ground of omission no doubt was that the business of the persons omit ted was such that either they would have been entitled to claim exemp tion or that probably they would havo been excused. Even when persons liable to Jury duty under the state law are excluded it is no ground folr challenge of the array. If a suffi cient number of unexceptionable per sons are present. But if the state law itself should exclude certain classes on the bona fide ground that It was for the good of the community that their regular work should not be interrupted there is nothing in the fourteenth amendment to prevent it. The exemption of lawyers, ministers of the gospel, doctors and engineers of railroad trains, in short, substan tially the exemption complained of, is of old standing and not uncommon in the United States. It could not be de nied that the stato properly could have excluded these classes had it seen fit, and that undeniable proposi tion erds the case.
