LATEST DEVGLOPMENTS, Bpacial Dispateh tn The Clicage Tridtine, 87. Louts, Nov, 8.~-Public interest in the ®luskry iuvestigations continues upabated. No «evont conpectad with the bistory of St. Louis hon croated greater excitument than that which now provails concerning the deveolopments of o past few daya, Every new dlscovory cou- nected with tho cases pendivg for ¢rial, or with tho Grand-Jury room, is seizod on with avidity aod mado tho subject of wild confecturo and speculation. Great intorest was centered in the United Btates Conrt room, which was filled at an oarly hour this morning by s Iargo crowd of poopis eager to loarn somathing new concerning tho whisky caeos, It had been sonounced that cortain ndicted individuals would pload guilty, and much coriosity was ovinced o know WIHO TIESE IKDIVIDUALS WERE, Many persons prophosted it wonld be McKee and Maguire. Others tbought it cortaln that Gen. DeDopald would ba one of them, bul fow I‘llmus(ht that Jouett had dotermined on that course. Sbortly after Judge Troat tookx the beneb, Marsbal Newcomb returned a list of por- sons who had been duty summoned to scrve as potit jurors durivg tho preseot term. Aftor the jurors Lad been called, Judge Troat addressed them briefly, calling their ot~ toution to tho grave dutics which Iay beforo them, and warning them agalnst thoes jmproper influences which wors likely to be brought to bear on thom. That section of tho criminal statuto waa read which providea a pebalty againsc auy jaror who allows himself to ‘te tempered with by outslde porsons. Ho csu- tivned thom to be careful in their condact, and to refuso to talk with any one in rofereuce to any caso now pending in that Court. Of tho whole number of jurars, only threo aro from Bt. Louls County, the remaining number being from valious interior counties throughout the State. They are evidently an intellizent body of mon, and NOT THE BORT TO BE TAMPEIED Wirm, or corrupted by outaido parties. Those who are conducting tho prosccutions against the Riog here have placed much {mp risuco upon tho necnesity of obtaining an Incorruptiblo jury, aud much viganco bas beco used 1o summoning those who aro to serve at this term ot court, Wuen the jury had been disposed of, Judge “Treat proceodod to oxll the docket in regular order, Whon tho name of Willism B. Jouott, Qistillor, was reachod, that geutlomen promptly sleppad forward and asked to withdraw his ples of not guilty, and to ENTER A PLEA OF QUILTY, His plos of guilty was accopted, sad ordered to bo entarod. Tho Disttict-Attornoy mformed the Court that thore woroe others who bad agreed tocome in and plead Enllu. but who were not thon presont in court, though no other indicted partios_appeared, aud Jouott was the only ono of the Walsky-Ring who plcaded guilty. Jouott fs ONE OF TIE MOST FIOMINENT DISTILLERS in the city, and is charged with defranding the Goveromont of its revenus by selllog a large amount of whisky upou which the tax had not beon paid. The smount of tsxes which he in thus accused of evading is ©80,000, s dintillery is now in the hands of United States Collector Clurgeon. It is eaid the caso against Jouett isone of the airongest sgainst suy of the 8t. Louia diutillers aud rectifiers. When the other distillers plesded guilty some time azo to the same charges, the fact that Jouett did not also acknowisdge hid guilt and throw himself upon the mercy of the Court was much com- mounted on, acd gave rise to & number of reports dsmaging to him, as woil as to outaide persons. It wau assertod by the Cincinnau Gazetle, and ro- anseriod by a paper in this aity, that Collector Casey, Collector at New Orleans, and brothor-iu- Iaw of the President, wasn ner of Jouett. and that Jouett held back his confesslon because Lo knew the Goveromont DARE XOT PROCEED AGAINST RIM. 1t was also sssorted {p proof of this that, just after the indictment of Jouott lust epring, Casoy cama to Bt. Louls and had & nnmber of private conferences with Jouett, aa ha did also with Joyce snd McDonald. Quite a sonsstion wan created here and ai Washington by this pub. lication, and, Solicitor Buford Wilson's attention beiug called to it, he etated that Jouett would be prosscuted to the full' extont aof the Jaw, 1n deflance of Lis connection Wb partics bigh i positios, He gave it as his opiufon that no such relation existed with Collector Casey which would fndace Joustt to induige (u the hore of safoty on that accouat. Joueit, how- ever, bad expressed a determinst:on not (o plend guilty in sny event, uod there were those, and not & small number by any meane, who OAVE CREDENCE 7O THE CASEY BTORY. Therefore, hnn‘rln of guilty was quite & eur- riso to all, and esbeclaily to thoss who bolteved he enjoyed the immunity referred to. It also showed that the Casey story lacked the proper amount of thickness, or, at least, It Caeoy Wan & party to the conceru, that Jouets no longer had hope of enjoying protecs tion through him, ‘The Grand Jury met at an early honr thia woining, but examined ouly a few wituessey. ‘They returued four indictments into court. Tho Clerk of the Courl atatod that opip one of thess was for participation tn the Whisky Ring, It could nos bo ascertained who the indicted par- ty e, J0YCE. 1t {s rumored that Col. John A.
