'Genilemen, I leave the cise in your hands. You are an intelligent looking jury, capable of judging this case on the merits in an impartial manner, fin Hi your rooms and de¬ liver justice."
The speaker was the Hon. David F. Manning, presidini; justice in the Supreme Cniiil, at .Mineola, during the preseiii term. Justice .Manning is a lawytir of the old school, un old fashioned student of Blackstone, who knows his books on jurisprudence as nearly ihoroiigh as huniaii mind Is capable of grasping il.
In persnii he is of the riiiick Roo.se¬ velt style. In fact a casual glance at the presiding justice reminds one. of T. R., bill in nianiit-r he posesses a coolness almost to the point nf sang froid. lie is in iiiilli, hovvevei. a hustler who keeps his caleiidHr hust¬ ling all the time. H is a pleasure to remain in .Insiitc Mauninn's presence during a day iu cnurt. He has a ready smile and he sees the humor In everything.
Justice .Manning musl pn.^sess a spark of the I'^'miMald. He is a lover Of humanity, seeing liiiiuan nalure in all its weaknesses and ¦overlooking them. He likes lawyers and he is at once at liome with his jury. He makes a confident nf them in a body. His charges tn the jury are studies in juCispi iideiice. They are treatises, worthy of the bar, whicii *he so high¬ ly represents.
He escews the l<>clillicalities of Taw and hands out the charge in plain, unvarnished Knglish. but with a punch. While listening to Ju.stlce Mannin.i; deliver his sermon, if you will, nne is impressed with tho feel¬ ing that he is intensely sincere, and that the task is one that Is next to
bin heart. The editor of The Naasati Poat had the pleasure of bearing Jus¬ tice Manning charge tbe Jury in tbe death action iustiliKed by William 3e- lander. an administrator of the goods, chattels, etc., of August Selander, aKaiiiHl Dr. Joseph A. Muiboiiand, of Great .Neck.
The case was one in which a man and woman were killed on the north side of Ixing Island. Dr. Mulholland admitted that he struck a form which "shot up in front of my automobile like a vision," and which later prov¬ ed to be the woman, but he denied the charge Ihat his automobile killed the man. He was answering only the charge of having caused the death ot the man, not the woman. There was no tansible evidence to show that hfs auto struck the man.
Justice .Manning in a fatherly way, went over the evidence carefully, ex¬ hibiting a clear, clean mentality.
''Yoti honest genilemen are confront witli the ih(ory on the part of the defense that some other obstacle struck the unfortunate couple. We hate to hear of anyone being riv*. and we grieve with the good parent.s of the man, who so sorrowfully lo.st his life," said the Justice, "but we plain men are here for a firm pur¬ pose. We are to exclude our sympa¬ thies. We must decide strictly on the merits of the case. We must not be swerved."
"You have heard the lawyers plead, hut you are urged not to pay much at¬ tention to what they say. Thi^y are eager and earnest in their solicita¬ tion for their clients. That is worthy or them. They deserve credit for that. .Neither took the stand, how¬ ever, so what they say in siiniming up is but their own id(>as formed by fertile minds.
"Vou heard Ihe witnesses, and what they said about the case. They left a few discrepancies, bui remeiiiber that tlie,v were questionod and cross fiuestioned l>y sharp, shrewd lawyers, who can make many penple say what ihev' rio not want to say. I could take you twelve men tn Hie nearest railroiid crossing and shtivv ynu an .¦lecidetil. and tuil any three of vow will tell tlie same story. Vou arc therefore lo judge Hie story Inld by ea'-h witnesss in yniir nwn way.
"In justice t.-, tl.e deft^ndaiH you are lint lo consider the dead woman in Ibis (-iii^o. Only Hie man. The only way ynu can tliiti;< of the woman is in connection with the death of the man. but mertdy as .i uiiide to your forminK a true opinion. You men will leave this court room and .so fo your jury room to ponder over the truths in this rathe difTiciiIt case. "\'nur resnonsibililv is great. Tt is wonder¬ ful"
"We, who uphold Hie dicrnity of the courts, have studied into this phase nf jurisiirudence and can see no bet¬ ter wav of thrashing out court pro¬ ceedings than by tbe jury systtnii. No liel ler way has ever been discovered, and sn we try In delivei' the best that is iu,iis ,nnd to serve you in the cases as fj-ee from bias and prejudice as llnnnanity will permit. We expect you to carry on this spirit of fair play and to try when you get together and deliberat(> to he clear in con¬ science, free indeed in mind, and that you come forth with the best that your conceptions prompt,"
This does not do justice t)v the Jua- tlce's charge, but It helps to'ch'lTe home the impression tbat when Jus¬ tice Manning speaks to the Jury be does so from the heart as well as from a sense of law and Justice, and that he gives that jury a ronfldence in itself tbat tends to produce satis¬ faction in their decision.^.
In pricking a lawyer who was hold¬ ing up tbe calendar because of bis main witness nol being in court. Jus¬ tice Alanning said.
"I am afraid I am too lenient with the lawyers of .Nus.iau County. I am lead to believe Ihat you have real gentlemen in Nassau Couniy. This
