There is good deal Of talk here about
a fact connected with the prospective re-
Enumeration Of the. Beecher jury. The
Legislature empowered the Brooklyn
Board of Supervisors to give the jurors
extra pay, in view Of the heavy demands
that have been made upon their time. Now
the board is strongly Beecherite. It is a
remarkable fact that the great ruling
ssrings'' Of Brooklyn are on the Beecher
side-the municipal ring. the ''bridge'
ring, the school ring, and so forth. 1t is
this regularity which has been supposed
to give significance to the fact that the
sunervisors have taken no action in re-
gard to the jurors pay. It's understood
that the supervisors will vote no appropri-
alton for the jury unless the jury reaches
a unanimous verdict, and it is very well
known what kind of q verdict would be
satisfactory to them. The defense for
their course in the matter is that the |
Jurors will have rendered no public service
if they fail to agree. The objection to
their course is that it practi-
cally holds out bride to
the Jury. Hence the friends of Til
ton and of Justice are loudly call
ing on the supervisors to take action in
the matter at once. If they do not,
. there will be bad look about the thing
, that must be highly damaging, in moral
sense, to the Beecher side. in case YER
dict is given for that side. The BRIDE
would not be very good one, though
this could not diminish its wickedness.
The general opinion seems to be that the
. Jury are entitled to ten dollars day ex-
ira; and, as they have already sat hun
bred days, each Of them would be entl.
. tied to between ten and twelve hundred
!, dollars. It is to be hoped, for the sake OF
= decency, that the supervisors will take
action before the time for rendering the
: verdict.
There is a great deal of speculation
e now about the jury, but Of course 1t is
:. fancy work. Perhaps it is true that the
Jurors who we're suspected of Tiltonism
have weakened. Perhaps there have been
considerable changes of mind or modii-
;. cation of opinion among them. The
= Beecherites feel very sure on these points;
- the Tiltonites, including Tilton himself,
- would be satisfied with disagreement; but
- the Beecherites are supremacy anxious to
~ get a unanimous verdict for their side.
e Il is not at all impossible that they
= NAV get it; and some shrewd bet
ting men here are willing to risk money
on the prospect of it. Perhaps the Beech
W er counsel were wise in accepting the mar
al who is foreman of the jury. When the
es Jurors were being examined, he made
remark which gave people in general t.
MT understand that he was rot an admire1
OF of Beecher; yet he was at once accepted
is. by the Beecher side, to the surprise
o. some legal critics. Those who watcl
in faces and form judgments thereupon, sa.
tie he has turned; and the Herald has Jus
IN given an amusing account OF the way nj
IT. features play responsive to the Though
IRE or feeling which the language or name
or Of Eyarts is calculated to evoke. On
ie- need not be too sure about this sort OF
he thing. Yet would not be surprised
ty Foreman Carpenter should, after all, tur
out to be on the Beecher side when tn
ed Jury retire to make up their verdict. ID
ire is man of intelligence and consclenc
