TRENTON, clated Press).—Judge Marshall In the Court of Common Pleas has excused Mes. Anna Cunningham from further jury service after ring that her experience on two mixed juries within a week had convinced her women were not fitted for such duties, During this time she was locked up all night and, she declares, has not yet recovered from a threatened ner- vous prostration, Her views are in- dorsed by her husband, “The present illness of Mrs. Cun- ningham Is the first at all serious In sixteen years,"’ he sald. ‘I attribute {t solely to the mental and nervous strain to which she .has been sub- Jected.”” Referring to her service on two Juries, each comprised of six men and six women, Mrs. Cunningham cited nuraerous reasons for reluctance fur- ther to participate in the administra- tion of justice. Among these reasons are six which she considers the best in the world—five children and a hus- band The children range in age from three to fourteen years. “My first night away from home confirmed the already . half-formed opinion that I had made a mistake. Imagine my feellags. My husband is employed at night. There were my five children alone at home. “The second experience was alto ther needless to convince me that woman's place is not in a court Dom. "To those who deem it a woman's ity to insist upon all of her recently required rights T would advise that they carefully consider all the respon- sibilities that accompany the priv- lege My personal opinion is that the majority of women are temperament- ally unfitted to pass judgment upon others.
