WATCHING THR JURY.
The little PARK at the back OF the Court House
was favorite place again yesterday for the
lolterers to assemble in; Tor from there could be
obtained q good view OF the windows OF the jury
room, and IL seemed to be the idea am ong this
class or people that, could they only catch an oc-
casional glance Of some OF the unlucky jurors,
they would be able to gather some points upon
which TO base arguments to be used IN their Wis

and such places they most do a1ect after the
shades OF night have fallen. There they stood,
regardless or the broiling sun and the binding
dust, patiently watching ana waiting hour after

jurors In MS shirt sleeves violently tanning him.

gain a breath or fresh air, and were gree ed on
each occasion BY all kinds or jests from the per-
spring crowd below. they gave no sign or inti-
nation as 70 how they stood Notwithstanding the
many queries that were addressed them on that
subject
ABOUT THE FOREMAN.
IL was rumored around In the afternoon that
the result Of the trial VIII show shat Chester Car
penter, the foreman OF the jury, has been much
misunderstood, and that, although ne has
been thought all along TO be 4 strong
partisan or Mr.. Beecher, yet In reality he is at
heart in favor OF Q verde. for Theodore nton,
and that ne will 50 declare himself THIS rumor Is
given for what Il IS worth, for it only Instances

CHANGING THE JURY ROOM.
Shortly arter one O'Clock she jury were shifted
ron heir quarters on the western side or the
building owing TO the sun shining directly into
their room, and moved to the eastern room, where
they could obtain shade and more breeze. Tney
appeared to appreciate the change, for they
nearly all went 20 the windows and sat there
for long white enjoying the cool wind. which
came TO blow about the same time.
They nevertheless appeared TO be suffering
considerably from the heat. mat they are intend
ing TO still stay is almost beyond question: for
they have all sent 70 their homes, by permission
or the Judge for fresh supply or clean linen, &c.
Tue adjournment OF the Court In the afternoon
at SO early an hour was hailed with delight by all
tine loltsrers, and they nearly all cleared out OF
the building and went on their way, There were
yet lew who remained on the sidewalks, loath 10
quit, and fearful that n they did so some move
might take place Which they would miss. After
waiting around Tor two or three hours, however,
they even moved on, and the streets presented
the same quiet and orderly appearance that they
dld before this excitement began.
