General Benjamin +. Tracy, the leading local coun.
sci Tor the defence, snooK the dust OF Scandaloom
from his feet evening and with his family, de-
parted for the beautiful village OF 0swego, N. w
where ne proposes passing the summer months.
Just before his departure he was visited at ms
residence No las Montague street. and consented
10 be interviewed 'an hurry"
'Well, General, what DO you think OF the result
OF the jury's deiberattons" asked the reporter.
"Taklng all things into consideration" was tina
reply. 1T was very satisfactory. or course am
not as well pleased as II they had rendered
unanimous verdict for the defendant, but thuk
1t was about as much as could be expected, when
the other side TO influence the jury"
.sro what do you attribute their failure 10
agreer was the next question.
eve were informed three months ago." SAID
the General, that the lawyers Tor the plaintiff
claimed at least three OF the jurors. They must
have had something TO base his claim npon."
'tDo you intend 10 convey the idea that any on
the occupants OF the jury box were Improperly
approached or pribed 'n was the query.
~ can only say" replied General Tracy that
the other side were very quick TO start the cry OF
stop inlet charging that we had endeayored to
corrupt the Jurors, when they had not the
slightest evidence OF any such attempt having
peen made.n
.You nave heard,r observed the reporter, that
OF the jurors, Mr.. JEFFREY is an intimate per-
sonal lrieno of Francis d. Moulton IL appears
that 1t was he who headed tue opposition TO Mr..
/ Beecher in the Jury room. HOW can you account
/ Tor hts action? 2"
"In the FIRST place" was the reply, ~ have
serious douots whether Mr.. Jenrey was legally en-
titled to SIT on the jury or mat he should have
| Brunswick whether lie is citizen OF the United
-.tates remains 10 be Stll DO not think, IN
any event. thar or SIDE Will take action In regard
70 that matter"
'Do you think, General. that there is a prospect
public ;"
ii am not prepared to answer that question.
suppose cOunsel ior either party can move for
new trial OF the cause at the next term OF the
court, which will be In September. The ndic.-.
ments OF Tilton and Mouton are IN the hands OF
the District Attorney. what course VIII be pur-'
SUED by him in regard to them is not yet apparent.
| OF course the consplrators Loader and Price Will
| be punished. They will be properly dealt with by
the District Attorney ana MS assstants.n
lis there any truth, General IN the rumor thas
proceedings are to be instituted against Messrs.
Mouton and Tlton, and that they are TO be ar
rested for their participation IN the Loader-Prce
affair ~ was the next question.
mot TO my knowledge" said General Tracy;
az have nc charges 10 make against Mr. Moulton.
All we ask OF him or his associates is 20 meet tho
facts that have brought out These acts,
| especially those produced at the examination OF
Loader yesterday, / think Will speak for them
se.yes. The only resource for the other side is 10
ngnt the Case against Loader AID Price.

"Wnat is your opinion OF the disagreement or
the Jurymen, Mr. Ready ~
"weIl, / cannot account for it, my dear SIR; IT
not according to the testimony IN the case. L
should have been for Mr.. Beecner absolutely.
/ cannot understand what influence was brought
I TO bear upon the testimony 5 Is mystery to me.
"what reason have you Tor supposlng that soma
OF the Jurors were in1uencedw
al have no particular reasons but cannot &C.
count for the disagreement. 1 think the evideEce
/ in the case could not admit OF a disagreement II
the Jurors mad property reviewed 1t. cannot say
! what steps wal be taken IN tne action IN Tue
future. the testimony was clearly In iavor OF the
Innocence OF Mr.. Beecher, ana, la my Judgment,
/ there was no ground for disagreement oi tns
