A NEW FUNCTION FOR JURIES. The acquittal of Mrs. Lulu Youngs of the murder of ‘Miss Florence MacFarlane, at Rochester, is legally and gociofogically important as a judicial recognition at the North of the “unwritten law” as applied to women. Mrs. ‘Youngs, believing Miss MacFarlane gullty of an intimacy with her husband which was the cause of his estrange- ‘ment from her, proceeded, in a fit of jealousy and despatr- >) ing rage, to the home of the young woman and stabbed » her, inflicting wounds from which she died. Mrs, . ;Youngs was arrested and in due course of time was g@cquitted after a comparatively brief trial by a verdict 4 “which establishes a precedent for a form of self-admin- » fetered vengeance which heretofore, in the South, at " feast, has been regarded as an exclusively masculine pre- sogative. But a feature of the case of hardly less {mportance ‘and of even greater interest was the banquet which the ‘Jurors gave the vindicated defendant after the trial. This banquet seems to have been a lively affair, at which there were many warm expressions of sentiment for the guest of honor. The jurors welcomed her at the ‘@ining-room door with faces wreathed in smiles. They shook hands warmly with her, they pratsed and petted her and toasted and eulogized her until she was “almost overcome with joy and her heart was full to overflow- > {ng,” to quote her words of thanks, And incidentally, _ man-like, they warned her against the husband for whose Jove she had committed the deed. “He's a bad lot,” was _ g characterization of one of the sympathetic jurymen. Woman in the witness box has in her time played havoc with the hearts of many an Improssionable jury, but it 1s diMcult to recall a case where court-room eoquetry has persuaded a jury to an act of sentiment sur- passing this as an affront to conventional decency, i To put this sentimental partiality In full relief, con- trast the Youngs trial with that of Rosie Quinn, whom a _ Manhattan jury scut up for life for killing her infant child ina moment of shame and horror at the realization of her Mlegitimate motherhood, Rosie was plain of face, awkward and unattractive, and the community was pre- ‘pared for an application of abstract dustice in her case. In the case of the “strikingly handsome” Mrs. Youngs It * was prepared for a far diferent verdict, even for acquit- tal. But it did not look for the maudiin expression of esteem which followed. The Rochester jurors have established a precedent for Juries and invested them with a new function of inter- esting sccla! nature. The after-acquittal banquet for falr defendants is an innovation capable of wide extension. But women contemplating 2 homicida 1 looking forward ta this finishing touch of courtesy from a sym- pathetic jury are cautioned to take an account of stock of their personal charms before doing the deed.
