Continued from the First Edition. MR. JOHN GIBSON CHALLENGED FOR CAUSE. When the court convened, Mr. John Gibson, the next juror, was called. Mr. Ingersoll challenged the juror for cause and for favor, as in the case of the other jurors. “And to thaty” sald Mr. Wilson, “I add that he 1s engaged in contracts with the United States, Which makes him an objectionable juror.” “I have no challenge to make,” sald Mr.Henkle. Mr. Gibson, upon interrogation, sald that. he had an opinion which would require evidence to re- love. “Hejwould require good evidence before he changed hfs opinion. He had read the letters of the Attorney General and others. * Did you believe what you read?” asked Mr. Ingersoll. “I don’t know anything to the contrary,” said Mr, Gloson. “I know nothing to the contrary.” Upon being questioned by Mr. Wilson, Mr. Gib- son salihe had acontract for printing with the Alabama Claims Commission. ie had expressed. an opinion during the last trial, and still adhered tot. ige Wylie said he thought that the opinions Judy held by the juror formed sufficient cause, and ex- cused him, MARTIN O'DONOHUE RXAMINED UNDER CHALLENGE. Martin O'Donohue was called and examined by Mr. Ingersoll under challenge. He said he had Seen the case prominently in the newspapers. He had never read anything about It. THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THR STAR NEWS- PAPER. “For about a week,” he sald, “I thought it was Something connected with the Starx paper.” “ What ts that 7” asked Mr. Ingersoll. “THE STAR paper,” sald the furor. “Ob, THE Stax newspaper,” said Mr. Ingersoll. “T should think that you wonld come to that con- cluston by reading the paper. “He got at the fac's,” said Mr. Wilson. The juror said he-had never formed any opinion of the case. A friend named James Keilener had explatned to him what the case was, and that tt had no connection with the Star newspaper. He had not read the letters of Mr. Bliss and the Attor- ney General, He kept'a grocery store, and gave his attention to that instead of to the star route cases, He gould not recollect ever having ex- pressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of these defendants. “I wish you could recollect,” sald Mr, Wilson. “I wish T could too,” sald Mr. O'Donohue. Mr. Wilson interrogated the juror sharply as to whether anyhoay lad approached him about the case since he was summoned as a juror. The | Juror said he had been spoken to, but declined for Some time to give names. Being turther pressed by Mr. Wilson Mr. O'Donohue said: “I think you were present on one occasion— when you were across the street getting a cup of tea or something—I think you heard someone ask na E “No, 1didn’t ask you anything,” said Mr. Wil- sen, “y “I did not say that,” said Mr. O’Donohue. said you heard a man ask me about the case.” ae” sald Mr. Wilson, “what did you tell im? “T told them,” said Mr. O'Donohue, “to make no roaches to me; that I would not talk to them “Who were these parties 2” asked Mr. Wilson. on of them was Larry Jones, I think; 1am Not positive.” “The court,” said Mr. Wilson, ‘can decide whe- ther he tsa competent juror or not.” “I think he tscompetent,” sald Judge Wyle. ANOTHER PEREMPTORY CHALLENGE. “We challenge him peremptorily,” said Mr. Wil- 60n. MR. JOHN H. CRANE ASKS TO BE EXCUSED. Mr. John H. Crane was next called. “We have nothing to say to that juror,” sald Mr. Ingersoll. Mr. Crane, rising, sald: “I have walted, your honor, at your suggestion, in hopes that I would be challenged by One side or the other. I would now like to be excused.” n What ground?” asked the judgo. n the ground,” sald Mr. Crane, “that tt will seriously interfere with my business, and I am afraid It will break up my business. Furthermore Tam afraid it will make me sick if I have to serve on this jury and attend to my business, as 1 ought.” ME. CRANE NOT EXCUSED. Juige Wylle sald that he could not excuse the Juror. OTHER JURORS SATISFACTORY TO THE DEFENSE. John Hughes was next called. ~“We have nothing to. ask that Juror,” sald Mr, Ingersoll. Clarence Shields and S. H. Williams were called, and accepted by the defense. THE NEXT CHALLENGE, Reese Evans was interrogated under challenge by the defense, ‘The Juror sald he had formed no strong opinion. “Could you” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “decide with- out any reference to any wish or desire of any de- partment of this government Judge Wylte sald that he did not think Mr. Evans understood the question. “Would the desir,” sild Mr. Ingersoll, “of any department of the government influence you?” “No, sir,” said the juror. “ Would you care,” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “ what the President or wanted?” “No Congress, or anyone else suld Mr. Evans, ‘nor you either.” Mr. Ingersoll said jurors in tue other case had been arrested. He wanted to ask the juror Whether: it would make any difference with him or he w. ed or hot. Wylie, “whether he was bribed sald Judge Wylie, “we can’t go into ” sald Mr. Ingersoll, “he finds for the de- fendant, he may run the’ risk of being arrested, and I want to flnd men with grit enough not to care for that.” 't be arrested,” sald Mr. Merrick, “If with them.” Hf do not tump: 5 ae jury having said he rented his place of busi— utter, from Judge Wylie, Mr. Tn —“Well, as he rents from the court, concluded not to challenge him.” ACCEPTED BY THE DEFENSE. : Robert Gilmore, Frank Rensuaw, and James I. Luxom were accepted by the defense. Mr. Luxom made an appeal to the court to be excused on account of business, but wi avail MR. E. HANLEY EXCUSED. Edmund Hanley was examined under challeage by Mr. Ingersoll. He had an optufon which would require testimony to remove It. He did not think that the opinion would affect his view of the testl- mony. He was acquainted with one of the defen- dants, and thought he was a very clever gentle man. Judge Wylle excused the Juror. JOHN A. HAMILTON EXCUSED, John A. Hamilton was also examir formed “and expre-sed which would req He had a deciied opinion, evitence to overcome, Hi did not think he could act with perfect impartial | ity, and Was excused, ACCEPTED BY DEFENSE. Geo. B. Sheriff was accepted by defense. ANOTHER PEREMPTORY CHALLENGE. John H. Irving had formed an opinion by read- ing the newspapers. He thoughthe could render an impartial verdict on the testimony, and the court sald he was competent. Mr. Ingersoll, however, challenged Mr. Irving peremptorily. CHALLENGED FOR CAUSE. John H. Vernon was called and Mr. Ingersoll said he had no questions to ask. Mr. Wilshire, rising, sald hts client (Rerdell) in- sisted upon challenging Mr. Vernon for cause. Mr. Wilshire interrogated Mr. Vernon, He had heard ofthe case; he had read very little about it, and had not formed or expressed an opinion about it; he had no personal hostility against any. of the defendants, and was not acquainted with any of them. He had no aca tance with Rerdell Mr. Wilshire said he was instructed by his client to offer a peremptory challenge to this Juror with- out the acquiescence of the other defendants, “Tue others declining to join in the challenge,” sald the court. 2 = “It 19,” said Mr. Davidge, “whether one-sixth shall control five-sixths.” THE TWELFTH JUROR ACCEPTED. The court declined to excuse Jackson How- ard, and he was accepted by the defense, making the twelfth juror accepted by the defense, but still subject to the challenges of the govern- ment. : Mr. Eiker was challenged by Mr. Merrick for cause and excused, having formed an opinion. THE FIRST JUROR. Mr. John H. Crane was accepted by the govern- ment and was sworn as the first juror accepted in the case, ‘The court was th‘n adjourned till to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. ———+2-____ Suicide by Hanging.

He was found by his wife atout 10 o'clock last night hanging to a gas burter, life extinct. Dr. J. T. Kelly was called in bat coutd do nothing to_re- suscitate lite.

A. BOWEN. The hearing in the case of Wm. Dickson, late foreman of the star route jury, was resumed this morning in the Police Court, Mr. H. A. Bowen again taking the stand. His cross-examination was continued by Judge Cuppy. A PHILADELPHIA WITNESS. Before beginning, Judge Cuppy called atten- tion tothe fact that there was a Philadelphia witness in the city, for whom they would like a subpeena. The court sald that any subpanas would be issued that were desired. BOWEN CROSS-EXAMINED. The witness, Bowen, then in reply to ques- tions said that he had not talked with anyone about his testimony. Neither had he refreshed his memory by reading his affidavits, nor did he know of anything, either material or immaterial, in his testimony which he now would like to change. Judge Cuppy then asked if he knew the names of the Indian tribes, among whom it was alleged liquor had been introduced, and for the suppression of which the witness had been sent as a special agent of the Department of Justice to Arizona. The witness said it was among the various tribes of the Apaches. Judge Cuppy then read the clause in the Re- vised Statutes prohibiting such trading, and the witness said he supposed tt was correct but he had not read it. He obtained information on the.subject for General Crook at Albuquerque. This line of questioning was continued, elicit- ing from the witness the officials he saw and the names of the Indian tribes that he visited, and his means of traveling. He completed his du- ties in about ten duys, and being assigned to no other duty tendered his resiznation. THE PAPERS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Judge Cuppy called the attention of the court tothe reply of the Attorney General to the re- quest of the defense for certified coples of am- davits and papers taken in the investigation by the department of the bribery charges. The Attorney General states that the department is unwilling to furnish all the memoranda and evidence taken In the investigation, but if any specified paper is mentioned which is competent testimony, copies will be furnished. The letter oes on to statethat the joint aifidavit of Bowen, Cameron and Hoover, taken in San Francisco, is In the possession of Mr. Wells and can be ob- tained from him with the consent of the court. Judge Cuppy said thet he thought that the counsel for the defense were better able to judge what papers were necessary for their cause than the Attorney General. The court said that he was not aware of what this joint affidavit was. He was ready*to rule upon the question ag soon as he ascertained. Mr. Wells then went on tospeak of the rules 0 the Department of Justice in regard to official papers. He said that these three men had made affidavits in San Francisco, antl they had ail been put together. He thought that Cameron’s and Hoover's affidavits would be of no use in the pregent case. The witness had repeated In his evidence the substance of this affidavit, and if the court thought that it was material in this case he would produce them. Mr. Wells added that Mr. Cameron, who had read the affidavits, informed him that they might be called joint afdayits. as each one refers to the former affidavit, Cameron making the first, then Hoover, and last of all Bowen. the latter beginning his affidavit by saying that the facts stated in the foregoing aMdavits are correct. THE COURT RULED that the defense was entitled to the Bowen affidavit, and if the other two were summoned as witnesses then their affidavits would be pro- duced. THE CERTIFIED COPY OF BOWEN’S AFFIDAVIT was then handed over to Judge Cuppy by Mr. Wells. He oceupied sume time in reading it over. Mr. Weils, in reply to a question, said that the erasures and alterations were the same ‘as In the original. Judge Cuppy then began to question the wit- ness for the aMdavits. “Did you,” asked Judge Cuppy, “remember to have omitted anything in your Philadelphia affidavit that was in this? “Not that 1 remember,” replied the witness; “they were substantially the same.” “Did you know the reason,” continued Judge Cuppy, “why a second affidavit was required?” “I hardly know how to answer that ques- tion,” said the witness. “The first wae taken in such a hurried manner that I presume the second was necessary.” He knew of no other reason for taking the second affidavit. He pre- sumed that he fixed the date’ of the Dickson conversation In the San Francisco aflidavit. The witness thought that he had mentioned a conversation with Mr. Driver and that he looked in the room where witness and Mr. Dickson sat. “Did you offer him @ glass of water?” asked Judge Cuppy. “I believe I offered him a glass of wine,” said the witness, “that was my custom.” “Iam not inquiring about your custom, but t,” said Jude Cuppy. itively, but presume the wine 2 witness.

He then denied that he ever said this case was an heritage for his pre- decessor, but said that MR. DICKSON MADE THE REMARK.

The court said that the question cucht to be | confined to proper limits, as a good deal of time had been exhausted.

Mr. Vance, who reported the bill from the com- mittee on naval affairs, said he hoped the Senate would not dispose in that way of a bill whose oD- jet was simply to provide that navy chaplains should be paid as well as those In the army. Mr. Plumb.—Would it suit the Senator as well to | equalize the pay by reducing thatof army chap- lalns to the navy standard? Mr. Vanee.—Ii would not would probabiy suit the Senator from Kansas.
