The New York herald., 1872-07-11

there are two obstinate men on the
jury-Mr H., the second juryman. and Mr.. T.. the
twelfth juror 1t is certain however, that the sec
ond juror Is the best listener OF the entire body
with but one exception, and that is the twelfth
Juror, Mr.. T. No. Is tall, good-looking man.
with Of those serious faces that there is no use
in attempting to change; deep-set pair OF grave
eyes and pair OF mutton-chop whiskers He has
a Dundee look Of frmness ali over him, and he
listens with his FAM which he holds In his hand, to
his right ear He mas a large forehead, snowy
white vest, small black tie embelllshng white
shirt, and wears gray coat of the same shade as
juror No. g. who is quite good-lookng lad, with
close-cropped blond hair and merciful pair Of
eyes. This Juror Is not more than twenty-five
years Of age, and sits very quiet.
The third juror is very respectable-look man,
In black clothes, with a rim Of black whskers
around the oval line Of his features, OF saow CON-
plexion who sits continually with his spinal column
at an angle that Directs his eyes to Judge In
grahams face. He has the appearance OF man
with four children and large amount of stock in
the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company.
The gem Of the jury is No. 4. This juryman
divides the palm Of good looks with Ed
ward s. Stokes, and it may be said that Mans
field more than once threw her eyes In that direc.
In court on Monday last Juror No. 4
has very dark eyes, with long lashes, a
fine complexion, and looks as II he were
of Spanish-Hebrew descent When he laughs at
joke OF McKeOn or Judge Ingraham (fOr in the
memory Of man His Honor, like Thomas Carlyle,
has been known to laugh juror No. Is certain to
show set OF dazzling white teeth He too wears
dark gray coat like Stokes, and mas shirt
bosom white as his teeth. Juror No. 4, to be BRIEF
is perfectly sweet.
The juror on the end OF the first or lower bench
is known as No. O. This is the quietest man on the
whole traverse The Athenian Dicasts, who were in
history the prototypes OF the modern juryman,
could not have produced a more solemn and
judicial-looking parsonage than No. Of
this jury. He has pale, studious face,
looks like gentleman, and listens without
movement of his body to all that Is given in evi
dence. When District Attorney Garvin winks at
the jury this gentleman looks in astonishment at
him, as il he was the great Belgian Giant at Bar
NUNS, and then scans the prisoner with far
away philosophical look as If he were ecturing at
Heidelberg to the Statdemten.
At the further end Of the second bench Is
perched the seventh juror with saffron mutton
chops and the look Of a heavy English swell He
has blue scarf which fits him nicely at the throat
and gray coat Of the same shade and make that
Stokes wears. In fact, Stokes seems to have set
the fashion to the youngest members OF the jury,
and that is not to be wondered at when it is con.
sidered that Stokes, before trouble came to his
door, always paid $2 900 to Bell to dress him. giving
him carte blanche as to cut and cloth.
The eighth juror Is goodnatured looking gen.
tleman, with black whiskers and lavender tie.
He asks for medical information now and then, and
he has an honest look, and, mayhap, has also
cIirhtL dpon NJ tho nf n
Galen His neighbor the juror No. 0. is also honest
and good-natured, and has q sallow face and the
air OF Thirteenth ward German, who possibly
might take his wife and children to Westchester
county on Sunday to in iulge in the luxuries Of
kar'tofe salad, p,tnpesnickel and Saceitzer kase.
The two most solid men on the jury are Nos. 10
and L. No. 10 is n1ddle-aged man. OF blond
complexion. He possesses good broad port, has
light hair and must have followed the sea at some
time in his life, or he has been, perhaps, snip
builder or supercargO, for In every hair Of his Pc
culiary trimmed whskers and curly hair there Is
the appearance Of q life on the ocean wave and a
''YO-heave-hOlr about No. 10. He listens very
carefully to everything that Is said with pair of
sober, honest eyes, and dark blue coat, which fits
his porty frame very well. Next to him Is No.
IL, with snurcolored whiskers, who seeks to keep
himself in the shade behind fan at all times-be-
q
fan like the Spanish ladies of Cadiz, and whenever
Beach makes one Of his sanity, persuasive jokes,
No. II seeks refuge In his fan and energies more
until he hears something said about the umbilicus
or cavity of the abdomen. For there be medical
jokes as well as legal jokes and some OF the fun in
this case has been almost Rabeaisian In its
ture. Never before, perhaps. did the peritoneum
or the intestines or the calculus found in body
create SO much discussion, heat and crossexami-
nation as on this terrible ''Bephegorn show Of
Fisks death and the trial OF his slayer.
Last OF all, there is the twelfth and last juror, who
has large fan, pair Of broad shoulders, goatee
and an imperial OF a blond color. This Juror is
unlike No. q who leans back to listen, while
No. IL stretches his body forward and eyes
every witness as if he were His Worship the Lord
Mayor In a gded barge. This is what is called In
New York "a tough man." and his Judgment will
be Of some avail when he makes up his mind.
Take the jury all in all they are most respect
able and intelligent body Of men, and never since
the days of the old mediGval Morse Guthluthinx or
the Saxon COmpurgatOrs, the originals OF the
modern jurymen, has there been twelve men to
lift up their hands and designate the fate OF one
human being with all his trials, troubles torments
and human errors of judgment and deliberation.
There he sits listening to his counsel as they
fight his battle right gaantly inch by inch. Now
1t is Treman, with his ponderous bulk and his i'm
mense knowledge of law; now 1t Is the little
Chevalier McKeon, on his steed Rodrigo; now it is
with his capital management of the
medical cross-examination; and then there is Daily
to find evidence and witnesses and authorities
they all in the breach and lighting gallantly for
this mans life and all that be said all that
can be wished for in the smoke Of the judicial
fict is the old petition that has went up for
two thousand years in many heroic fight and
against the greatest odds-"May God defend the
right
