OUGHT TO HAVE HAD SOME SYMPATHY. :
Juror Breakiron's large experience in
family troubles OF this kind did not seem
to have had any effect on the estimate
which he placed upon Dukes self.confess.
ed crime against Captain Mutt and his
daughter. The juror said it was the first
time he had ever served and he wanted It
10 be his last. 81 did not want 10 be on
the case," he protested, "and II they had
given me the chance would have lied oil,
but they asked me no questions and had
to be sworn. had never read
any account Of the killing and had
no opinion in the matter. Referring to
his fear oi the popular indignation he said:
~ bad intended to go to Connellsyille to-.
me- Would you just stand and let them
do II? Or is there some law to protect you?
The juror wound up by declaring he was as
innocent Of wrong intentions as the fathers
that had gone before him. II Amalong,
Cagey, Cramer and Knots were scheming
to do wrong they did it with such affected
piety that he never suspected them"
This confession OF Breakiron's throws
light upon the strange finding OF the jury.
Amalong, Cramer aud another or two con-
stituted the chief schemers. Amalong
stated TO several before he was drawn that
Dukes should be acquitted. He then went
into the jury room and in order to intlu.
enCe the weaker he, notorious character as
he Is, assumed the air Of the pious monk
and Breakiron thought him regular saint.
The jury fxers knew Breakiron was not
smart enough to be taken into any conf.
dence schemes and hence he was left to be
worked by others. When told Of the fact
that Amalong had expressed opinions on
the subject he replied, GOOD Lordy, what
will. they do with him."

Gallagher Knocks Ont ono Man and
Then Finishes the Victims Brother.

Then Finishes the VICTIMS Brotner.
MT. CARMEL, March 20.-This town is
terribly excited to-day over double prize
fight which took place here last night.
The participants were Daniel Gallagher
and Michael and William Mannion,
brothers. The trouble originated in Har.
vey's American House. Michael Mannion
incurred the enmity Of Daniel Gallagher
while the latter was protecting an aged
and inoffensive man from the attack OF a
young hoodlum. Mannion and Gallagher
mutually agreed to settle the difficulty in
the prize ring. Lest the intelligence OF the
proposed fight should reach the ears Of the
authorizes the !acts were entrusted to q
special few, with strict. injunctions Of
secrecy.
The pugilists, accompanied by their sec.
onds and confidential friends, repaired to
the chestnut field situated about fifty yards
from the borough proper, where ring was
formed. Patrick Nolan seconded Mannion;
John Martin, Gallagher. The Marquis Of
Queensbury rules governed the fight The
pugilists dotled all their clothes save their
pantaloons, entered the ring and com.
menced 10 thump each other. First blood
was claimed for Gallagher, who planted a
stinging highlander under Manniou's left
eye, leaving ghastly cut and rolling him
into his corner.
Gallagher knocked Mannion off his feet
every round. In the fifth round Gallagher
struck his opponent on the nose. splitting
that organ in shocking manner. The
blood flowed copiously. When time was
called for the sixth round Mannion failed
to respond, and Gallagher was awarded
the honor OF the fight.
William Mannion, seeing his brother
beaten and severely punished, and think.
ing Gallagher too exhausted to again fight,
challenged him to immediate battle. Gal.
lagher, though much exhausted, accepted
his challenge and invited him to
step into the ring. Mannion mum.
ber two was sent to grass with his
brother after several rounds, in which he
was badly used up. Patrick Nolan, the
man who seconded the Mannions, then
challenged Gallagher. The latter consent.
ed to also fight him, but after Nolan had
undressed he wisely concluded to with
draw and donned his clothes. Gallagher
is better known to the boxing men Of this
vicinity than either Of his opponents. He
is considered one OF the best handlers Of
the gloves in this section. He is hand.
