looks but a trifle less capacious. He is
a flour broker and member OF the New
York Produce Exchange, has been sue
cessful In business, and owns the brown
stone front In Elliott Place, in which he
lives with his mother but without wife.
He is an Episcopalian, and never heard
Mr.. b. preach. He. has read the case
iully, anu had an opinion, but has be.
come undecided very lately.
CHRISTOPHER FILTER
seems one of.the best jurors in the panel.
Although not of literary or social cul-
ture, and a native of Germany, he gives
the imp ession of an intelligent, consid-
crate and conscientious man, who would
be selicitous to commit no error and
yield to no bias in the momentous judg-
ment to which he has been called. One
of his neighbOrs speaks of him as just
the sort OF man he would desire to pass
upon his cause ii he were party in
court. He obtained his information of
the case chiefly from the German papers,
and has a German wife, but having lived
in this country twenty years, under
stands English well. His features are
not Of the Emphatic and "sut-on" de-
scription 80 frequent among our Ger
mans, but are prominent and strong.
His hair is the blackest the present jury
boasts. and his frame perhaps the
largest. The expression of his lace is
serious, solicit0us. and kindly. He is
a dealer In wood and willow ware at No.
80 Fulton street. New YOrk--Fitter u
comfortably successful in
business. He is represented by his
friends rs cautious and slow in believ-
ing or coming to conclusions. A por-
trait Of Henry Ward Beecher in early
manhood, hangs in his parlor. He is a
member of a German church.
IPLAcE NEXT TO MR.. FITTER,
for the present, Mr.. VIM. II. Davis, as a
decidedly intelligent and impartial juror.
He mad at first slight opinion, alter
wards counteracted by further reading,
but did not SO much as recollect what it
was, at his examination. So completely
had his mind been overwhelmed by the
loss oil his four children by diphtheria in
single week of last September. Since
then he has done little or nothing, but
has remained in depressed and inditfer-
ent mood. The important duty of his
position now stimulates him TO as atten-
tive an interest, apparently, as any Of
his fellow jurors. No doubt twill do
the poor faIlow COED, if it. does nobody
else. He is an Englishman, resident in
this country twenty-six years, attends
occasionally the Episcopal Church, If
any, and has heard Mr.. Beecher preach
but once, twelve years ago. He was
originally a, glider, but is now engaged
in collecting rents, &C., and owns some
real estate himself.
PROBABLY ON PAR WITH THE LAST,
IS John h. Taylor, quiet and reserved
man of tiity-six, whose examination gave
a favorable impression Of intelligence
and fairness. though not of more than
common education. He is cork cutter,
in business for himself, in this city, and
owns his house. Is OF no religion, and
seldom attends church.
Thus far we have eight decidedly good
and In part excellent jurors. There are
fOur more, whom one might pardonably
trial as this. OF these am lnclin ed to
prefer
GEORGE HALL,
he has good head, but an Indifferent
face, in which one does not read much.
He is carpenter, and member of the
First Baptist Church. He revealed on
Plymouth Committee made no impress
sion on his mind. On the other hand, he
had received and retained strong inn
preston from reading, but appeared to
have read only Mr.. Beecher and his
Committee, and not Mr.. Tilton.
JOHN MCMURN
testant, of Congregationalist predilec-
tions, fiity-four years old, just half of
which years he has spent i'll this coun-
try. His business has long been that OF
u petty grocer, on the narrowest scale,
in little house which he owns, in the
outskirts of Brooklyn. He attends
church irregularly, but reads and hears
his children read in the Bible, and is
represented Gs most scrupulousiy hon.
est maa.
HENRY THYER
has q good head and perhaps good
mind, but he has hard lcok, and testi-
fies that he "never took no interest" in
the case, or in other public questions, Gil
the ground that it "did not seem to be
for his benefit to. do sos" as if self were
not only the pivot but the orbit of his
existence. He reads the New York Sun
and brooklyn Argus, the latter Tilton
super and the former lattery inclining
against Mr.. Beecher. He is journey
man mechanic. boards other workmeD
and owns q house. He was an English
man and Quaker by birth, but early left
and has since sparingly at
tended Presby terian churches. He keeps
his politics to himself.
TWO ROMAN CATHOLIC JURYMEN.
Edward Whelan is an Irishman, car
penter, builder, and has some property.
He looks the oldest of the jury, except
ing the first two. His face is Hibernian,
hale, grave and set: and his dark hair
appears to be cOmbed up over the top of
his head from the side, to cover a bald
spot. He is unmarried, and lives with
his mother. You can't tell what to make
of him, except that be is shrewed and de-
cided,, anu full willing to serve, though
suspected on information by the plain
litf's counsel, and accepted by the de-
Itnse-as in fact most of the jury were
with hardly any lurther apparent scru-
.iDy after the examination by the other
side.
SAMUEL FLATE
,nly remains, and that is not much hu-
manly speaking. He is the youngest
A), and apparently the least Intelligent
of the jury; q Catholic, taking no paper,
seldom reading anything at all, and
nothing. and caring nothing
about the ease. He is but a journeyman
rooier,. and yet already owns little
house, which perhaps indicates some
capacity and thrift. He has low fore
lead, OF beard but faint suspicion, reg
llac features, and q face not SO stony or
