WHAT HENRY WATTERSON SAYS ABOUT IT—WHAT MR. RANDALL SAYS ABOUT IT. Henry Watterson’s manifesto concerning Con- gressman Randail’s visit to the south has provoked considerable comment among the members in the House to-day and among newspaper men. Mr. Watterson’s statement that Mr. Randall's going to Kentucky 1s looked upon there as a declaration ot war by the protectionists upon the revenue reform- ers of the state 1s severely criticised by Mr. Ran- dall’s friends, who say that he was invited to Lou- isville by the mayor and city officials, without hav- ing sought such an invitation, r. Randall pays no attention to the article. He sald toa Star reporter this morning that his vistt to the south was by invita‘ion und from no polltt- cal motives. He has received urgent invitations to visit Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, and now that it cannot be sald that he has any personal aims in view, he has concluded to go. He will start about the 26th, and go at once to Louisville, where he will spend dhe days from there he goesto Nash- vile, where he will spend two days, and he will then go to northern Alabama to examine the iron banks and coalfMines of that region. He will revura by way of Chattanooga,occupying about two weeks in the} trip. He says he will probably speak upon the development of industries in the south, the tariff and other questions, including the general subject of administrative reform and the abolition of the internal revenue system. os ‘The Swaim Coort Martial.

Terry, Who was examined yesterday, was theh recalled by @he jue advocate for furtner cross-examination. ‘The witness stated that he hac resigned his place as secretary of the ‘Territorial Loan and Butiding association, of Wash- ington, upon @ confession by him of a shortage in his accounts. He was indicted for embezzlement, but was never tried, the district attorney having informed bim that there was no case against him, ‘because the association was not incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. He dented that he had embezzied any money, and said that the charge was brought against nim to Dlackmall him. He said that one of the direc- tors of the association told his attorney that they Proposed to have blood or money, and he added the had no doubt that H. B. James, the head of the customs division tn the Treasury depart- ment, was instrumental tn pursuing him with this charge and bringing {t into this court. @ Howard F. Bell, a New York broker, was called by the defense and asked whether he had not, in 1882, come to Washington to examine Bateman & Co." books on bebalt of Alfred Bartlett, then 2 Partner of his, who was also a partner tn the frm of Bateman & Co., and whether he had not been Tefused access to the books. ‘The prosecution objected to this inquiry. The defense said they proposed to show that there was in Bateman’s office a systematic sup- ression of evidence of the dealings between ihe and their agents in New York, and that this involved some Of the items of Swaim’s account. The Judge advocate objected to such statement denouncing them as being part of a scandalous an outrageous attempt to deiame the banking house of Bateman & Co. ee At the Capitol ‘To-day.

Indignant Denials of Mr. Ker’s Imputa- tions Cast Upon the Kilbourn Juries— How the Final Verdict Was Obtained. “J know of no proposition towards frand or brib- ery,”8aid Mr. Marcelius Marceron, a member of the Jast Jury which tried the case of Kilbourn against Thompson, in reply to a question by a STaR re porter respecting the charge which Mr. W. W. Ker issatd to have made ina letter to Representative Randall, to the effect that the Juries that tried this ease had been “fixed,” “and,” continued Mr. Mar- ceron, “I feel satisfied that if such a proposition had been made it would have been rebuked by my fellow Jurors with indignant scorn. I served with the jury for three months; had every opportuntiy to learn the character of my colleagues, and I am sure that no more honorable gentiemen were ever assembled on @ jury. So far as [am concerned, I Was opposed to giving Mr. Kilbourn a cent ‘I tyought tat he should have answered the ques- tiuns propounded him in reltion to the real estate, but we remained in the jury room until 2 o'clock In the morning without being able to agree. It was then proposed that each juror should write down the amount which he thought should be awarded. ‘The sum of these amounts Should then be divided by twelve, striking an average, to which all the Jurors consented to agree. ‘The result reached was & verdict for $37,000. “Three of the jurors, including Myself, put down nothing. Whei the result was known, I said@_to my fellow jurors that Juaze Ha. ner would surely set aside the verdict.” He did set 1t aside or offered to issue a judgment for $20,000, That amount, I understand, was accepted, and Congress ts now asked to make an appropriation to pay it.” ‘The Jurors who served at the last trial with Mr, Maceron were W. 1. Tune, G. J. Gawlerg J. Edvvin Krouse, Rodney Vandeventer, John J. Peabody, Adam Gaddis, Was ‘Tiley, d. B. Holllige, W. 1. Barron, Daniel Luther and Jerome McManus. Mr. Jerome McManus,when questioned by a Star Teporter, suid he had read what had been published about Mr. Ker’s letter, and it did the Jury greay in- Justice. As far as he could kaow, no inan on the jury bad been, in any way, improperly influenced. Certatuiy no One had ever approuched him. “1 verdict,” he said, “was a compromise. Half the Jury wanted to uWard Mr, Kilbourn $40,000 and tie Other bait wanted to give $20,000. The $87,000 was @ compromise.” Mr. Rodney Vandeventer had not heard of the letter, and was very much surprised when told that Mr. Ker had charged that the jury had fixed.” “No such thing!” he sald. “There wasn't @ man ‘fixed’ that I Know of.” ;, Mr. Holildge said there was no ground whatever for the charge, and that the jury was as fair and Square a jury as wasever impanneled. They bad only to fix the amount of damages, for the cas as commenced with the fact seltied that Mr. Kil- Dourn Was entitied to damages, and the amount of damage was all they had to determine. Mr. Luther remarked that the pubilcation of Mr. Ker's charge was the first intimation he had heard thatthe jury had been Uxed. This was the frit jury duty he had ever done, and he was sul that the verdict was a fair, square yerdlc gu the actual damage by'loss of tune, expenses, c. sed | Judges ot the Supreme Court.
