Trial by Jury Rights in Texas Mandamus Case
In Austin on February 14 the Third Court of Civil Appeals issued an opinion written by Chief Justice Key. The ruling grants the petition of A. R. Roberts and Amicable Life Insurance Co of Waco officers to cancel a vacation judgment allowing E. W. Gaffney to inspect the company books. The court says the officers demanded a jury trial, and Munroe overstepped by delivering a vacation judgment. The decision holds that the constitution guarantees a jury trial and prevents limiting it by a district judge in chambers. Also noted is an application in the Court of Criminal Appeals to reduce bail for M. Guerrero, El Paso detective, held on $5,000 bond after a January 30 burglary arrest and killing Ern est Miller. The request seeks reduction to $1,000 and could be heard soon.
