!One Man Juries Are Bad' jury prosecution are a matter
By JACK GOLDMAN
Editor, The Jewish News:
The Detroit Times recently
published an editorial which
deserves the attention of the
entire community and of Ameri-
cans everywhere. It exposes
wrong procedure and calls for
emphasis on fair play in our
courtrooms. The Times, under
the heading "One-Man Juries
Are Bad", stated:
"The people of Michigan at
last have had exposed before
them the money, whisky and
women "justice" which was pos-
sible • in the happily discarded
one-man grand jury system.
Step by step it has been
testified in Ingham County cir-
cuit court the way in which
Charles F. Hemans was per-
suaded to testify against those
named defendants by the grand
jury-a grand jury which, in-
cidentally, elected a . governor.
"Hemans, a confessed crimi-
nal, was paid a comfortable
`salary' from Michigan taxpay-
ers, a 'salary' far in excess of
that which most of the taxpay-
ers earn by hard work.
"Hemans, a confessed crimi-
nal, was supplied with drinkin'
whiskey in addition to his other
luxuries which included a jaunt
to Mexico - on state gasoline
during the days of gas ration-
ing - and more comfortable
hotel accommodations than
most taxpayers will ever see.
"And this - and more - was
testified by witnesses before the
circuit court in Mason in an ek-
posure of the power invested
in the secret one-man grand
jury.
"The situation would be lu-
dicrous-if it weren't such an
insult to the people of Michigan.
"One-man grand jury methods
are being paraded before the
court by two men convicted on
the evidence amassed by that
grand jury and by testimony of
the much feted criminal, He-
mans.
"Legal matters of the hear-
ing remain for the courts to de-
cide.
"But moral issues arising from
exposure of one-man grand

By JOHANNA MUND
Editor, The Jewish News:
In your Aug. 11 eduition, you
commented on the subject:
"Mixed Marriages"-Please allow
me to reply.
When the war between brutal
Hitler and the civilized Western
Nations was ravaging, I took
special interest in the study of
the causes of the downfall of
Judaism and other religions, as
it was apparent in the European
countries during the last sev-
eral decades.
Fate brought into my hands
an authenticc statistic of the
results of expanded missionary
work, on behalf of Jewish con-
version. There, I found facts
which nobody can deny. They,
together with others that I have
witnessed, resulted into the for-
mation of my own philosophy
on this important matter which
I developed in a treatise: "A
Short Contribution to the En-
lightment About Baptism." It is
waiting to be translated into
English.
I take the liberty to say, here,
the following:
Woe, to those who waken up
too late to the consequences,
which threaten the happiness
of every Jew, when he or she
considers baptism!
I recommend -them to study
objectively and thoroughly all
involved questions, before decid-
ing to drop one's own faith and
step into a strange psychological
world.
In my opinion, two major
reasons induce the modern Jew
to get baptised:
First-The hope of gain of
personal advantages in busi-
ness or career;
Second-Love for a Gentile.
Both incidents have brought
about all-out disillusionment for
the unfaithful Jew.
The only answer to all social
problems is: Advancement in
education, because we also have
to take into consideration two
other important developments
in 'history: Fanaticism and too
much Liberalism.
Both are dangerous in regard
to human nature, on behalf of
religion. Mankind has to choose
the golden middle way. This
does not involve compromise; it
implies the exclusion of miscon-
ception of some circles in society,
to consider that the fruit was
grown, before its seed was
planted. They plucked the fruit,
ceased to water the plant, and
let the seed dry.
The perfect fruit was hung on
the tree, on top of the
Some grabbed it, and rant down
with it into the valley, in Order
to show it to mankind. In the
ensuing quarrel for the posses-
sion of this most precious trea-
sure-it got lost! We are the
victims of the consequences!
Let's look for that treasure!
Let's go up the hill again!
