Another Day's Grind in the Great
Garrison Case.

Only Eleven Klegibleto do Jury

Crowd in Attendance.
The namcH of those who have been
examined in the Garrison case and found
cvjjpetent to serve on the jury are:
John W. Robinson, Brice Kapler, David
Bell, R. J. Billiard, \V. J. Kreifg, James
Kilan, N. A. MeConn, Leroy Alexander, ,
Janus Russell, Jaines Chambers and i
Volann Starke. ?
Part II of the Circuit Court opened
yesterday miming a few minutes before
It) o'clock, with Judge Campbell on the
bench and Dr. Garrison in the prisonera'
biz. Dr. Garrison did not look as
well as he did the morning before.
Evidently he had not rested well. He
vis brought in by Ddpaty Sheriff Zinc,
and was soon joined by his attorneys.
Tho crowds in the corridor were
greater thnn the day before and there
was an anxious expectancy on every
face as Sheriff Steenrod came up to open
tbo court room. The instant the doors
w? re opened there was a rush and the
crowd surged inside. In five minutee
there was not an empty seat ouUide the
railing, and there would not have been
any loom inside had there not been a
deputation ol sheriffs to keep tho space
clear.
Ttie efforts of the court to get a jury
wfcr?* juet a litllM more successful yesterday
than they wer? the day before. On
.Monday five elegible persons were fonnd
and yesterday there were six. The
work started ofl with a rush and two
jurors were gotten out of the flret panel
of twenty, and it looked as if the jury
would bo provided before noon. The
indicAtions were very deceptive, how- "
ever, and many long dreary hours paes- :
?id awuy beforu another one was found. }
The State's attorneys bavo had three Jj
eplet'did photographs uicde of the scene
of the .killing, one looking from Main ,
street at Eleventh, one looking from
Market street and another from the
second story window of Mr. John Walton's
house, at which point three per*
suss were standing at the time the
tragedy took place. They all aro plain .
and distinct and will be a great assistance
to witnesses in finding locations. j
When tho court closed last night the
judge ordered that the sheriff summon jj
a hundred more talesmen to appear as J
soon to-day as tlioy can be gotten. The 81
night before the sheriff aud his deputies
rode all night after jurors, many of the ?
summonses not being served till after 1 jj
a. in. The jurors who bad been selected P
were dismissed till this morning at 10 a. r
m, and Leroy Alexander was excused Jj
till to-morrow.
The defence and prosecution alike "
are well pleased with the jury so far as R
it bad been selected. The attorneys for J*
the defense said last night that they bad ?
not seen a more intelligent and honest ?
looking set of men selected in many a ?
day. .
When tho recoid of the court was JJ
read yesterday1 morning Col. Arnett .
raised a complaint against the manner /
in which one of the grounds for his .
demurrer to the indictment had been
recorded and after argument; the matter -was
changed to suit his views.
I'ANKL Nl'JIUEK BIX. I
The court began the examination on a ji
new plan. Instead of asking the panel ?
as individuals whether tbey were mem- n
bers of tho grand jury or the coroner's a
iurv or relatives of Dr. Garrison or Dr. &
ikird, throe questiooe were put to tno p
Eauel collectively and it was expected to a
e the means of saving much time and {(
trouble. a
James Kilan was the first juror tl
examined in detail. He bad formed Jj
opinions of the case from what he had 0
read and heard. The State examined
him at length, asking in detail whether
he could change that opinion, and his
answers seemed to show that he would P
unit the requirements of the court ?
Colonel Arnett asked a number of que* *
tioiiB to thoroughly test the point J
whether the juror was thoroughly com- ?
petent to dismiss his opinions and hear f
the evidence and from it bring an un- e
biased verdict. u
Col. Arnett asked n long and involved
question and the prosecution bad it read J>
by the stenographer, thus creating con*
siderable amusement. Among other t
things in the question was whether or {J
not the juror would it quite evidtnco to
change his views. The court suggested v
tliat the point was not proper for the 1
reason that any sane man who has an
opinion will require evidence to change 0
it. The proper question, the court held,
was whether the juror could give an un? '
biased verdict with that opinion in his
mind when be entered the jury box.
To Col. Arnett, Mr. Filan said that c
liiu opinions would have no bearing
upon his decision and tbo State said it
would na!?pt bini. The defense replied
that it would uot, The stenographer 1
read from bin notes all the questions
and answers that the court might decide j
upon him. Tlw court accepted the juror, '
and the defecso entered aa exception to .
Lira. i
James Chambers eaid he was a little l
bard of hearing, but he could bear the fi
court.
"Have you formed an opinion ?" asked i
tho court.
"Why certainly I've an opinion. {
There's uo tnau who reads the papers *
who hann'tau opinion." 1
This fiank statement created map 1
amusement, which waa at once quelled
by the court Mr. Chambers thought I
lie could override his opinions and give j
a fair verdict Ho gave a short ditquiil* J
tion upon the duties of a juror accord* ?
ing to hia view, and the attorneys and '
court agreed that hia poaition waa very 1
good and well stated. The defense ex*
urnined bim carefully aa to whether hie 1
mental condition with reference to his ?
opinion was such that he could, not ]
would, desire to do 00 because it waa hia
duty, try the case without snowing me ?
opinion to bias, affect or influence his {
acceptance of the evidence. He an*
ewered these questions very sat Mactorily,and
the beat* accepted him forth- 1
with. The court and defenie also ac- 1
cepted him and he was retained. 1
IIE BKCAkK ILL.
Samuel Wileon had no prr judico for ,
or hgainet the prisoner, lie had formed
and er.preescd an opinion and did not
think he could put tnat opinion attde.
Captain Dovener?"Where do you
live?"
J uror?1"Triadelpbla."
Dovener?"When did you express
that opinion ?"
Juror?"! (xprcrsed It yesterday."
Dovener?"Did you not express that
opinion because you knew and had bean
told that that would let you off the
jury?"
Juror?"No, air."
Dovener?"To whom did you oxpreaf
that opinion ?"
J uror?"To myself."
Dovener?"Had a little conversation
with yourself and expressed an opinion ?"
The Court?"Do you know what it
peons to express an an opinion 7"
Juror?"Yea air. To mike up my
mind a boat the matter."
The Court?"Did anyone approach
yon with regard to what would diaqualily
yon for jury amice?"
Juror?"No air."
Colonel Arnett?"Is there any reason
for this inquiry? Haa there been any
intimation that this juror haa done anything
wrong?"
The Court?"No."
At this point the joror became faint
and ill and was excusud.
William Kbbert bad formed a fixed
opinion at the time of the killing, and
did not believe that be could hear the
evidence and form a verdict without its i
being influenced by that opinion. Joseph
Shafler was not prejudiced but had
formed an opinion, and did not think he j
conld lav aside all feeling in the matter.

W. Kennen bad formed a prejudice in
Lbe case, and was excused.
N. A. McConn bad formed and ex*
pressed no opinions and thought he
could try the case by the evidence with*
3ut bias or prejudice. He waa accepted
forthwith without objection or question
by the attorneys. After his acceptance
lbe court asked if the juror had any
icruples against tho death penalty. He
replied that he had not. The State took
9xception to the courtsntkiug tho
question, bccause the State has the right
to ask that question and may waive it
Lf the court aaks the question that pre*
slndee the possibility of the State waiving
it. There waa considerable talk between
the court and tho State's attorneys
about the matter. Great lots cf law
was read and the pages were kept busy
running to the*law library to bring
luthorides. It was finally decided that
the court could do as it pleased about
:be matter.
Daniel Olemmens had no bias or prej*
lice, but bad expressed an opinion and
iid not think ho could change it. "That
opinion is thoroughly fixed and would
influence me in making up my verdict."
Charles Bachuian had formed a bias
ind prejudice and was excused. John
Swart* was Accused on the same
troonds, and was followed forthwith by
Peter Mubn. Deidrich Roemer had a

Juror?"Several years ago."
Dovener?"That's long enough; you
re barred by the statute of limitations."
He was excused. ?

Victor Rosenb&rg, juror No. 124, had

stated that he and Dr. Garrison
itre bound by ties as close as blood (
flationship, both being Masons. He
ad ijrinea and expressed an opinion as
3 the prisoner's guilt. He could, howver,
go into the jury box and bring an
nbiaaed verdict.
Oap.tain Dovoner asked what he meant
y saying he was a Mason and bad
jrmed an opinion, and was bound to
he prisoner by ties as strong as of relalonahip,
and still he could find an ur<ilased
verdict, The juror staled that he

the liat of talesmen for thelninth panel,
and soon bad the twenty aeata filled and
as many new facee confronted the court.
The clerk awore the panel and before
the examination began, Judge Campbell
cited authorities to show that in the
question raised at the morning session
as to it being within the province of the
court to ask a juror if he is Bcrupulons
as to the deat penalty, it is not only the
court's privilege, but under some circumstances
it is mandatory.

could not be changed under any circum- I
stances. A. F. Stumpp said he would <
not decide the case according to the evi- 1
dencc. Captain Dovener had Stumpp i

to why he would nottry the case according
to the evidence. Mr. Stumpp was t
not able to answer and Captain Dovener *

of would not. Mr. Stumpp answered j
that he did, and was excused.
TUK TKNTU PANEL.
J. H. Daily was the first juror called. J
lie showed all the requisites of a good 1
juror except that he had formed an (
opinion, but he thought he would be 1

In the New Orleans Mafia Case

AN ELABORATE DOCUMENT
In Which the Affair ! llevlewed at
Loll itch?The Charges of .lurjr
Bribing Sustained--Six Indicted-?Startling
Erldence.
Nxw Orlxans, La., Miy 5.?After six
weeks' investigation the grand jury completed
ita labors in the Hennessey case
anil the killing of Italians at the pariah
prison, by presenting the following report
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon:
Grand Juby Room, May 5,1891.
To the lion. Robert II. Uarr, Judge of Criminal
PUtrld Court of the Pariah oj Orleant, Section 4:
When this grand jury entered upon
its term of service, there was pending in
Section B, this tribunal, the trial of nine
men indicted for participation in the
assassination of the late Superintendent
of Police. D. 0. Hennessey, on the night
of October 5,1890.
The enormity of that crime, executed
at the midnight hour, creates unusual
interest throughout the whole county,
while in our city, vitally concerned in c
the administration of justice as deeplv t!
affecting her social, financial and poliu- c
cal welfare, the sentiment of the popu- .
lace had crystalized into the concrete
form of expression that justice be rendered
through the recognized channels 8
of criminal jurisprudence, that the c
guilty perpetrators, whoever they were, ,,
be tried by an impartial jury of Ameri- 11
can citizens and meet with a righteous a
conviction. e
It is not to be wondered that attention
Bbould be directed to the trial during
the many days of its progress in the Bl
selection of jurors, the evidence of wit- A
nesaes, the arguments of counsel, the b
charge of the judge, ana finally concen- jc
trated on the twelve men who by virtue
Df their solemn oath eat in awful judgment
on their fellow men. The verdict is
a now of official record, bearing date i.
March 13,1691.
We cannot be miatation intheaaser- <
;ion that the verdict waa startling, .
imazlng,a bitter diaappointment,shockng
to public opinion, provoking the .
epeated accusation that some of the
ury had been unfaithful to their office.
We feel that we do not transcend the
imitsof our duty as the grand inquest o
o rofer to the strong presentation of the
:ase as made by the State through coun- $i>
lei associated in the prosecution?clear,
:ontinuous, complote. convincing in the R
lirect testimony ana the material cirlumstances?it
appeared more than suf? lo
icientto convince the most unwilling ca
iatener with its truth, and convey the
ull measure of its power to those who .
ventured a doubt.
As the trial neared its termination, it df
ras not posaible for any observer to fail gfi
o realize the comments made on every to
ide touching the action of some mem- be
>ers of the iury to which the case should H
>e submitted. Each one of the at
welve jurors of the trial was sum- dr
noned by us, and asked to make a state* re
nent. >one objected, but all rather h?
velcomed the opportunity. It waa a M
lotable feature of the sworn statements m
hat they primarily aougdt to justify to
heir verdict by attacking the line of
vidence presented by the State, ?
md attaching much weight to the ^
irguments of counsel for defense.
One quarrel at least was reported, ap
irising from the accusation by one Ce
nrorto another, with the expression:
'Ynn Iftlk lilru vnn r? fin-el hflfort'
rou came here."
We are led to conclude that the jury 01
indertook to try the case when it was
mbmitted by their own eetimate y
)l the value of statement made
>y partiea not called ?s wit- ?n
ie6ses. It is clearly
irought out by evidence of the jurors, Jfl
hat as aflecting three of the accused, Je
?olitz, Scaffedi and Monisterio, the jury {*
mgaged in the deliberations in their
:ase some four or five hours, attended ac
vith intense excitement and on repeated 8P
>allot?, the jury vote stood six guilty, ,n,
tlx not guilty. WI
Following this investigation it waa 8J
luicklv learned from various sources 01
hat talesmen bad been approached.
One favorite expression was that dc
'big money might bo made by going on
he jury and doing right."
There is no poseible doubt that such ^
ittemots were made by varioua partiea
n the service of tne defense, entertained ru
)V someoi me laieamen auu ecornjuny m
rjected bjr others. These are facta .
liven on evidence of talesmen. .
The Grand Jury knows that the list m'
if 500 talesmen in the Hennessey case *
vaB in the office of O'Malley and Adams, ?
it 11 o'clock Sunday morning, February
12J11891, though the trial judge issued .'
ipecial orders Saturday evening, that the
ist was not to be made public or given
o couneel of either side until Monday ^
The following men are indicted:
rhomas McCryatol and Jobn Ooonoy, "
with K. 0. O'Malley for attempting to so
jribe a talesman, and Bernnard Olaudi, C(j
Jharlea Granger and Ferneard Armant j,
or attempt by eaph to bribe three differ*
int talesmen. c<3
We are forced to the conclusion that
Dominlck (J. O'Malley is chargeable
with a knowledge of, and participation
in most, if not all, of the unlawful acts
n connection with that celebrated case, y
From the beginning of our investiga- .f
lion there is a mass of evidence brought m
to our attention of the pernicious com- Jj
ainations of what is fcuown as the p.
3.0'Malley Detective Agency. We know
or an absolute fact that the bank ac*
:onnt is kept by interested parties, Aj
aeing D. 0. O'Malley and Ityr. Adams. M
iuuh a combination between a 4e* 5J
active ana a urominentcriminal lawyer ?
a unheard of before in the civilued

libilities for evil, we stand aghast. j>l

Column, 0., May fi.?The friends of
Governor Campbell ire jubilant to-day.
They are feeling more confident of hia
nomination than they have at any time C
since the notorious Cincinnati squabble
last fall. This is all because of a mo- j
raentuoua visit made to Columbus yeaterday
by the Hon. Larry T. Neil. Mr
Neai spent several hoars in close consultation
with the Thnrmans, fsther and
it/in Rnth llm nIH Unman ami ?nnnc>

Campbe 1 men from tbe beginning,
and it is being quietly whispered .
About to-day that tbrongb their in- ~
liuence Neu has agreed to withdraw "
from the gubernatorial contest. Whether m
Litis be true or not it ia certain that 0j
Neal's conference with the Thnrmana r
was one of both great importance and u
pave secrecy. Tbe (act tnat the gov- Bi
amor's friends who are in close and con- to
itant communication with tbe vener- Vl
ble ez-aenator and bis son, are expressing
ancb confident views of the sitution
would indicate that Neal's *"
rumored withdrawal has been agreed 6u

Democracy would in that case be some- he
vhat hampered in a campaign fought lei
intirely upon the tariff issue. One of eh
he strongest points of advantage urged tic
iv Neal's friends boa been bis tariff thi
tews and record. Governor Campbell, Mi
in the other band, has always been
lassed'wlth the protection wing of hie Mi
larty. Many years ago he was a pro- Ba
ege of the Hon. George L. Convene, wa

The "force bill controversy" last fall,

3at time they have ceased to affiliate.
bese little matters of history, Bay the wil
ampbell opponents, will all be bunted na|

lat except lor Neal the Governor wiJJ for
