Show a a a i i IMPAilriAI.! The obtaining a 'jury yesterday, in the case of Englebrecht & Co., r Clin-ton Clin-ton etal., shows how beautifully and impartially matters about the' courts arc being handled at present. The case is one in which non-Mormons are plaintiffs and Mormons are defendants. In any other community citing religious reli-gious distinctions in legal suits would be simply ridiculous, but hero it is too painfully patent not to be recognized. This county has a population running somewhere from 20,000 to 30,000 we will get the figures when the census returns appear and the facts probably some other time and of this population popula-tion about nineteen-twentieth." are Mormons. On this case between non-Mormons and Mormons cixty-two cixty-two men were summoned and sworn from whom to select a jury, and of these sixty-two, four were Mormons ! Comment is entirely unnecessary. The impartiality of the Deputy Marshal summoning the jurors is so beautifully illustrated that it commends itself though, we presume he acted under instructions. Will anybody wonder now at the jiublic talking of packed juries? |
