Sinopsis
Excerpt from Some Defects in Our Criminal Code and How to Remedy Them
We live in an age of progress, in an age when the business world, as well as the political world, has taken wonderful steps forward. Conditions surrounding us today are very difierent from those surrounding our fathers, our grandfathers and those before them. Even in religious matters we are told that we must look more to the substance and less to the shadow; that our relig ion must be a practical one, not theoretical. But in law, we find the lawyers and the judges following along some of the old paths, one and even two centuries old. It is my purpose to point out to you briefly some of the defects in the criminal code of Missouri, which to one not a practicing criminal lawyer and to 'a layman will seem almost absurd.

Excerpt from Some Defects in Our Criminal Code and How to Remedy Them
Mr. President, and Members of the Missouri State Bar Association:
We live in an age of progress, in an age when the business world, as well as the political world, has taken wonderful steps forward. Conditions surrounding us today are very different from those surrounding our fathers, our grandfathers and those before them. Even in religious matters we are told that we must look more to the substance and less to the shadow; that our religion must be a practical one, not theoretical. But in law, we find the lawyers and the judges following along some of the old paths, one and even two centuries old. It is my purpose to point out to you briefly some of the defects in the criminal code of Missouri, which to one not a practicing criminal lawyer and to a layman will seem almost absurd.
First The first defect to which I would call your attention is that of requiring indictments, especially in cases of homicide, to be so lengthy. The theory of the indictment is, that it shall inform the defendant what crime he is charged with. Usually, the defendant never sees the indictment and never hears it read until it is read in open court to the jury. And the jury, to whom the indictment is read, and who are presumed to understand it, forget it as fast as it is read and never refer to it after going to the jury room.
