The Brussels Post, 1961-06-29, Page 3Jury Service
And Its Importance
Want to be it king fpr a day,
a week, a month? Want to have
the last word? Want to be known
AG a man et good character and
sound judgment?
Who wouldn't jump at the
prOspeet?
But just tell .a person he's
called up for jury duty and see
how fast he starts looking
around for excuses.
Why?
In the opinion of a distinguish-
ed. Massachusetts jurist, Judge
Felix Forte of the Superior
Court, it's because too many peo-
ple just don't appreciate what
jury duty is all about.
They have, he says, little con-
ception of the power of a jury,
of the utter finality of Its ver-
diot, or that jury duty, in his
words, is the very "foundation
of our American Republic"
Yet, he says, "No higher form
of public service is known, none
demanding more conscientious,
devotion to day, or more abso-
lute disregard of all considera-
tions except that of doing j us-
tice aecording to law, than the
work of a judge or a juror."
When Judge Forte faces a jury
of 12, persons, as he has been
doing now for 22 years, he tells
them that the juror "must drive
from his- thought every consid-
eration of race, color, religious or
fraternal affiliation, friendship,
sympathy or liking ,or dislike of
parties or counsel,
"He must not be affected by
the wealth or poverty of parties,
or by their position in the com-
munity."... And any juror who,
shows such favor, he tells them,
ls' "unfit to be either judge or
juror."
But the plain fact is, says
Judge Forte; that "too many
qualified, capable citizens who
should serve on juries seek to
be excused?'
He has the figures to back up
his contention.
As judge of the $10219,000
liaink's trial -- biggest cash
/robbery in. American history —
be summoned 2,000' jurors. Of
these, 524 were challenged by
either prosecution or defense,
"To get 14 jurors," he says, "I
'examined 1,700 perSons."
Sometimes when asking to be
excused, a person will even
feign deafness. When that hap-
pens, Judge Porte says he just
drops his voice very low and
says something like, "Your wife
must have told you to ..say that."
If the man's' hea-ring is actu-
ally acute, he will blurt out,
"Oh., no, she didn't, your hon-
ourl"
Sate law provides a list, fan-
tastic in length, of persons who
may be excused if they so re-
quest. It begins with physicians,
• ministers and teachers and runs.
to railroad conductors and light-
house keepers.
The greatest apathy, Judge
Forte says he finds, is among
those who balk at the financial
sacrifice, writes Emilie Tavel in
the Christian Science Monitor,
He calls jury service 'the citi-
zen's most important duty in
peacetime. "It's justice in the
making,'' he says.

He Gooll4ed High -
And Now He's Gone
Shrewd and courageous, with
an intuitive sense of timing—a
throwback, In fact, to the likes
of Bet-a-,Million Oates—specula
for Bernard Z. Smith reacted in,
stantly to rieW$ Of the stock-mare
ket crash in 1920, °Sell 'em, sell
everything," be stormed to his
broker, and "sell 'ern" he did,
even as the market rallied, then
faltered, then fell, then plunged
through the floor. Within the
space of a Year, he had cleared
a rumored $10 million in short-
Selling operations, aroused 'the
wrath of then-President Herbert
Hoover, earned a reputation as
No, I bear operator of •all time,
and laid claim eternally to the
title of "Sell-'em-Ben" Smith.
It was a title-indeed, an epi-
thet-that Smith never relished,
for the image it depicted was
that of the ruthless trader; bent
not on building but destroying,
asking no mercy and giving none.
And for all the truth of the in-
dictment, "Sell-'elf-Ben" was
just one of an endless variety of
roles, albeit the most notorious,
that Smith played in a career
that' carried him from the gut-
ters of New York to the pinnacle
of international finance.
The son. of Irish immigrants, he
quit , school at 12 ,after the death
of his father, got' his first job as
a $3-a-week errand' boy, later
advanced to quotation clerk for
a Street brokerage at $9 a
week. Acting on tips from cus-
tomers, he had built an original
investment of $100 into $35,000
he was 15; by 16, he was broke
again, wiped out in the panic of
1903. He boimeed back, built up
another nest egg of $15,000, fell
flat on his face once more, and
bounced out of the market cora-
pletely for the next decade. In
the interim, he worked as a cop-
per-mine mocker, a wartime
ambulance 'driver, a super auto
salesman (he once sold $60,000
worth of cars in a single week),
and distributor for a 'big tire
manufacturer,
By 19,24, however, he was
ready to try the market again.
In two more years, he had $150,-
000, enough to purchase a seat
on the New York' Stock Ex-
change, plus the personal back-
ing of financier Percy A. Rocke-
feller, nephew of John D. Rocke-
feller and an old friend. Like
everyone else, Smith rode the
bull market until 1927, when he
sold short and lost another for-
tune. But he made good his come-
back just in time to cash in on
the crash. (One of those he drove'
to the wall was his father-in-
law, prime backer of the J. I.
Case. Threshing Co., whom he
million,)
sentaift reportedly worth $1
After President Hoover ascrib-
ed the collapse to the malevo-
lence of speculators, Smith was
called before a Congressional in-
quiry as the most belligerent
bear in the market. "You are
known, as a big 'bear raider,
aren't yOu?" began the inquisi-
tion. "Nobody ever called me
that to my lace," blustered
Smith. It was like that all the
rest of the way-La standoff.
In any case, Smith subsequent-
ly backed Franklin D. Roosevelt
for the Presidency, and on the
day that Roosevelt was inaugur-
ated, he stopped selling short.
Two years lateir; he left the cotin-
try, set up trading headquarters
in London (although he continu-
ed to live in Bedford. Village,
N.Y.), and became an uncom-
promising bull for life.
Last, month, "Sall - 'em - Ben"
Smith, 73, died in a Houston hos-
pital from complications arising
after a heart operation. At the
time of his death, the bulk of
the "considerable" assets of the
great speculator were invested
solidly in U.S. Steel and Inter-
national Nickel. From NEWS-

gains an appreciation of our
form of government which he
can get in no other way."
He learns that although a
judge's verdict is subject to r.e.
vision and correction by his
superior judges, the verdict of
the jury is final.•
In a criminal case, if the jury
says "not guilty," the accused
can never be tried again - no,
not . even if the accused- later
admits. that hefooled the whole-
jury and actually did commit
the crime.
If a "guilty" Verdict is "un-
conscionably against the weight
of evidence," a judge may. order"
a new trial before another jury,
but he nannot, order a verdict.
