To-day is regarded .as an ‘‘off day.’’ The court adjourned, as was expected yesterday, to Thursday at 10 o’clock, to allow counsel the le- gal time to fix up their challenges. The prosecution is entitled to eight and the detense to twenty. And just here it 1s as well to know upon whom this right is to be exercised. POLITICS OF THE JURY. There were one hundred summon- ed, as has been stated in these dis- patches. Now, if politics has anything to do with the James case, the foregoing shows just how the panel of 100 stand politically. There are forty- six republicans, two greenbackers and fifty-two democrats. The tore- going names, or those to which the numerals 1, 2, 3, etc., are affixed, giyes the names ot the forty from whom the jury 1s to be selected. Of the torty, twenty-five are democrats and greenbackers and fitteen repub- licans. It politics, as written, has any- thing to do with the trial, each side has had its fair percentage, both in the pannel of 100 and that of forty,if a reckoning be made of the relative standing of the two parties in Da- viess county. In other words Sher- iff Crozier has summoned a fair av- er age pannel, and as a fact, no mat- ter how the case turns out, it cannot be said that the complexion of the preliminaries favor Frank fames one way or the other, politically. raged by this business: to create public sympathy against their client, The letters threaten about the Sheets case is not on trial, but the Winston robbery case.

On the subject of evidence in the case, it can be said. forit is so ru- mored, that the prosecution is feel- ing broke up to a considerable ex- tent over Mrs. Hite, and Horn the Nashville detective. The prosecu- tion offered that they would prove by Horn that Frank and Jesse, while living near Nashville under the as- sumed names of Ben and Frank Howard respectively, had been his (Horn’s) intimates, and so intimate that they had given them- selves away to him; related their ex- ploits, among which the Winston robbery was recounted as a first class coup de guerre. Mrs. Hite was expected to give an account of Frank’s comings to and goings from her abode in the knobs of Kentucky. Moreover it was averred that the James boys$had again been confid- ing and given themselves entirely away in the dearing of Mrs, Hite. it is now said Mr. Horn toots dif- ferently, and Mrs. Hite is brimful ot kindness for the prisoner in the case. Stamford, August 18,—Frederick Morrell, about 20 years old, who lived with his mother in Dumping Pond, three miles west of Stamford, committed suicide last evening. Morrell had been employed on the farm of Maltby Smith. He lett there yesterday at noon and went to Stamtord, returning home in time to do his evenirg chores. In Stamford he purchased a pint of whisky. Morrell left the farm about 5 p. m., and, onthe way to his mother’s house, he called on Miss, Hannah June, with whom he had been keep- ing company. The young woman was in the house, taking care of a younger brother. When she appear- ed, he chided her about keeping him waiting. He afterwards spoke to the father of the girl, asking him where his heartlay. He then placed the revolver over the spot, and spoke about shooting himself. He offered liquor to Mr. June and a_ neighbor, but it was refused. Leaving them he went down the road, discharging the weapon on the way. He stopped at his mother’s gate, called her out, and said: ‘*Mother, will you shake hands with me? I am going away.” She took his hand playtully, and he placed the pistol to his breast and fired, dying in a iew moments. Goodson COUNSEL AT WORK. Counsel are busy to-day weeding out the forty. The defense are in consultation at Mr. Rush’s office, while the prosecution are fixing on “the eight’? objectionable ones in Mr. Hamilton’s office. ‘*Who will the immortal twelve be?’ They will know to-morrow SURPRISES IN STORE. But, notwithstanding all this, the prosecution says emphatically it has a mountain of evidence to pile up against Frank. It is promised he ‘The majority ot people have no that their s wil yn i 2 : cae eit names will go down into will be pelted with great big facts, Z € incontrovertible, and _ surprisingly conception of the amount of money required to publish a daily newspa- per, or the large number of men te whom it gives regular employment.

The number ot men employ- ed in this ofice was never less than thirty-one, and is now thirty-six, be- sides the thirty correspondents and agents to whom salaries and com- missions are paid.

There is talk about ‘tan unknown’’ who will shy his castor into the ring, and knock Frank out in one round. Now, itthere be ‘tan unknown’’, he is Jim Cummings.

THE ORATORS. Henry Ciay Dean arrived morning. Mr, Deanis booked fora speech in the pending tral in behalf of Frank James. There is going to be a great amount of eloquence ex- pended in this trial. The talent en- gaged inthe case was array fore the public yesterday. Thestate has been dragged tor eloquence, and with Johnson, Philips and Rush, and It 1s a tact, without indulging in any homily about the reasons for it, that no great event transpires that there does not arise a whole host of cranks who want to identify them- selves with it. Ot course so great an event as the james case has not es- caped this infliction. There is a young crank here from Hayes City, Kan., who pretends to know a heap. He is here to assist Frank. Several weeks agohe wrote to Mother Samuels offering his as- sistance to get her boy out of his difficulties. The old lady replied that the only assistance needed was money, and 1f he had any of that, he might send _ it right along. It is not recorded whether chipped in, or not, but he is here and ready to assist. we his (Continued from last week.) How Watch Cases are Made.
