The jury in case in the Superior
Court at New York have got in trouble
by resorting to fines in order to keep
from being locked up. They were sent
out Monday evening with instructions
to agree on certain findings or be kept
together for certain time. They got
away at II P. M, by telling the officer
they were agreed and handing him a
sealed verdict" On the opening of the
document Tuesday it was found they
had agreed on one point and disagreed
others. The court tried the jury yester-
day for contempt. They disclaimed in
territorial disrespect. The court fined
the foreman $40 or twenty days impri-
sonment, and the rest $40 each or ten
days' Imprisonment,

The late killing of Captain Catesby
Roger Jones, in Selma, Alabama, was a
shocking crime, which, if it had been
connected in any way with politics,
would have created sensation through
out the country. A trifiing dispute had
arisen between the child of Captain
Jones and the child of his murderer,
which the former had shown an anxious
desire to conciliate. This was in keep
ing with what is said to have been his
known amiable character. The act, if
statements in regard to it be at all cor
rect, was one of -blooded assassina-
ton, and whatever disposition may be
made of it by the courts, will be so con-
sidered by all civilized men. The in
clination to kill in order to resent real
or imagined injuries cannot be INDUCED
with impunity in this day in any Am
erican community without excluding it
from the respect and sympathy of civ
ilized mankind. Captain Jones, as far
as the circumstances are known to the
public, was deliberately murdered, and
if the criminal is not punished the COM
munity which permits such an atrocity
to be perpetrated with impunity will be
the chief sufferer by the result.-Sm.
