REPUBLICAN RoUGHS.
Before the Mayor this Morning on Charges
Resulting From the Election.


Thomas Virgins, burly black man, was
before the Mayor this morning charged with
having voted illegally i'll the Tenth ward and
with attempting to vote in the Third ward.
Virgins was represented by Levi c. Bird
while Marshal McMullen, Harry G. Conrad
and numerous other Republican shining
lights helped crowd the room. After hear
ing the evidence the Mayor decided that
Wiggins had not voted in the Tenth ward
and was lawful citizen of the Third, and
therefore discharged the prisoner.
Samuel Coyle, well known in the Third
ward as a specimen Republican worker, was
placed in the dock, charged with an assault
and battery upon Officer Carey. The officer
testified that he was called upon to arrest
Thomas Virgins, the colored man who was
discharged, and while attempting to do so
Coyle struck him stunning blow back of
the left ear, which started IL brief melee
Councilman William Blake and Others testi-
lied to the assault, which was not denied.
Levi G. Bird, counsel for Coyle, attempted
to prove that the fight was a general one, no
doubt wishing the Mayor to infer that Coyle's
blow was jusIitable.
Coyle stated that he believed Wiggins
was entitled to vote and endeavored to
maintain that point, and also that he struck
Cary in self-defense. Marshal McMullen
testified that he was at the Third ward polls
all day, and with tragic air exclaimed, as
the vision of the puny Coyle striking the
herculean Carey fitted before his eyes, that
he 'never wanted to see such sight again"
as long as he lived. And it must have been
terrible, although no loss of life is reported
and no black eyes were before the Mayor as
vouchers of the riot. His Honor told COyle
that even if there was an affray, an assault
was not justified, and accordingly fined
him So and costs. Marshal McMullen
pulled large roll of money from his
vest pocket and paid Coyle's bill amounting
to Sl2.95, and the prisoner left with his
friends.
Martin Butler, Republican young man,
represented by IL. G. Conrad, waived hear
ing on the charge of drawing revolver upon
Officer Chambers, and gave bail for his ap-
pearance at court.
Thomas Lope, or darkey with name
sounding like that, was arrested for having
stabbed a man during a misunderstanding
ON Saturday. No witnesses appeared
against the prisoner and he was discharged.
A number of cases, the outcome of Satur
days contest, will be heard this evening.

Has the Jury Been Fixed

WASHINGTON, June 4.-For some reason
current gossip here pronounces the Star
Route jury as uniavorable to the government
The character of three or four men on the
jury is believed to be distinctly favorable to
the accused and in one case especially the
juror is said to be on intimate terms with
the Star Route people. One Of the latter
says to-day that they are very well satisfied
with the jury, but are very much incenscd at
the Judge. At the same time the lawyers
for the defense are of the opinion that
the recent rulings of Judge Wylie have
operated against the prosecution. 1t is
alleged by them that he is anxious to secure
a seat on the Supreme Bench of the United
States and that his rulings and the Ian
guage employed toward the defendants in
this celebrated case show a spirit of per-
sonal prejudice. In relation to the jury,
men who are well acquainted with certain of
the members are willing to wager two to one
that they stand out for an acquittal.
Whether these individuals have any means
of information outside of that open to the
general public is not known. 1t is thought,
owing to their personal relations with the
said jurers, to be significant enough for un
favorable comment.

Frank James, consisting of his mother, his
wife, Police Commissioner Craig and Mar
shal Murphy of Kansas City, arrived there
yesterday and sought an interview with the

EXcellency, and from hints let drop it is
learned that the bandits mother presented
propositions to the Governor. However. it has
come TO be pretty well understood that Il. j.
Haine, Kansas City attorney, is acting for
the outlaw. He was with the Governor
to-day and presented three propositions
coming from friends of Frank James What
these propositions were all parties refuse to
make public. Governor Crittenden refused
to say anything, save that a pardon could
not be granted until after conviction, and
he declined to make any rash promises. 1t
is learned that all three of the propositions
were politely declined by the Governor, and
that he positively refused to act until the
case came before him through the proper
legal channel.
1t is officially stated that during the re-
cent Indian outbreak in Arizona, 43 persons
were killed and five wounded, while the loss
on stock and other property of settlers
