FOR FORGERY.

A JURY EASILY OBTAINED-THE JOINT INDICTMENT
FOR FORGERY.
The trial of James II. Ingersoll, jointly in
diced John D. FdrringtOn for forgery in the hrd
dc gree in forging the Endorsement OF Heath Smith TO
warrant for sl5Ss 49, came up yesterday in the Court
Of over and Terminer Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of the contempt proceedings against the counsel
of Tweed. Ingersoll himself was, OF course present
during Itbe examination of jurors and his father ana
many friends accompanied HIM. lngersoll Is young
looking man, OF dark complexion, Is signify
bald and wears dark mustache and eye
glasses His appearance and manner are 30
totally at variance with the burly we-fed body
and audacious uncompromising face OF Tweed, that
people nvountary ask with sort OF disappointed ex
presson "whatl that is MT Ingersol Isl " He does
not bear idea popularity conceived of the great
Ring Of the other members Of whom are thought
Of jauny, joyia and reckless daro-devis, caring
nought for the law or lawyers and laughing at the
indignation OF their fellow-ctzens Ingerso. more
is not well known by sight, even If he Is by name
and the spectators in court have 10 inquire where
he sits.
John d. Harrington. the other defendant. who sits be
side Ingerso, is older whose dark brown hair
is streaked with gray and who wears heavy mustache
and imperial OF a lighter brown. His forehead bears
evidence apparently Of trouble for it is scanned
with wrinkles The interest manifested during the first
hours Of Ingersos trial is and entertain
ing incidents very few At the hour OF recess eight
Jurors had been obtained, coudtionaly the custom
now i since their retention depends upon the pcremp
tory challenges OF both sides
The requisite twelve men were obtained before 3
O'Clock. While Mr. Ash the second, being the
prosecution dismissed him with aperempory challenge
and others drawn from the panel. The most I'M
compromising jurors examined were Mr.. Gompers,
superintendent Of the Sixth-aye Railroad ue who
excused from serving the Tweed trial on account of
his OPINION forciby expressed in regard to Tweeds part
In the frauds, and John Lawrence Rker, a
merchant, whom the counsel seemed almost on
the poiut Of accepting when question from Mi Ire
main brought out the answer: No. would not give
Tweed the benefit Of doubt" At last, after the jury
box had been filed many times and depleted again by
peremptory challenges from both sides, the list was de-
clared unexceptiona and the Court adjourned until 10
a. IN. to-day. The jury is as follows:
