taking effect. Dukes died instantly. Dukes
had been frequently warned of his danger in
remaining in Uniontown and he lately said
lie would either stay there or in the Gene

of the son of Capt. Mutt on the street after
night. To-day, James Mutt was seen prac-
ticing with revolver at his house,
and this evening at about 7;30
O'Clock he was standing near the posoiiice
when Dukes came along AS Dukes was
passing he turned his head and noticed
young Mutt, just as he stepped from the
doorway and fired, the shot taking effect in
Dukes's side. Dukes started to run, when
Mutt followed and shot again. by this
time Dukes was on the postofiice steps,
when he received another shot and fell
inside the door. Mutt followed and fired
two more shots into his PROSTATE
body. one taking effect in the neck. Dukes
was dead before any one could get to him.
The revolver that did the work is the same
that Capt Mutt carried on the morning of his
death. Young Mutt gave himself up and is
now in Jail. He was calm bnt pale as u
sheet. Five shots were fired, four taking
effect. The coroner's jury is now sitting.
The shooting erected intense excitement
but at II o'clock tonight everything was
quiet. Young Mutt is not quite 90 years of
age, and has always been considered quiet
and inoirensive. 1t is said, however, that
he has been practicing with the revolver for
some time past.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June l3.-Whcn the
jury in the Star-routc trial came into court
this morning for instructions Juror Vernon
presented wild and disordercd appearance
ut I'd several convulsive shouts. sprang into
the AIR and fell upon the floor in fit. a
sccna of confusion followed. The counsel
hurried to the assistance of the unfortunate
juror, who had struck his head heavily against
q chair IN falling. 1t was some time before
order was restored. Judge Wylie babe
tie other jurors retire and placed Vernon
under the care of Doctor Sewers, who
happened TO be present. In about
IL minutes deputy marshal reported that
Vernon was sitting up and would soon be all
right. Judge Wylie said II have good
deal of doubt in my mind in regard 10 the
consequences of this occurrence. This man
has been drinking good deal He is a hard
drnker. During the progress OF the trial on
one occasion had to take him aside and give
him pretty sharp admoniion. He promised
to abstain, but l have observed that he has
resumed his hard drinking. / suppose con-
fincmcnt in the jury room, cutting off sup
plies of that kind, resulted in his attack. |

Juror i1orrican in II confused manner put a
question to the court OF m almost unintel-
ligiblc character, which seemed TO relate TO

the judge, and it is not for the court TO in

Opinions of the Eject Of the Jurors
Condition.
WASHINGTON, d. G., June 13.-Thcrc has
been some speculation here to-day as to
whether the mental condition of Juror Ncr-
non will afford ground for successfully con-
testing the validity of amy verdict which the
jury may render. The counsel for the gov
crnment do not think it will. They hold
the rule governing cases OF misconduct on
the part of jurors 10 be that unless the mis-
conduct is of such character as
TO be prejudicul to the defendant or
complaining party it can not be held to
be sufficient cause for setting aside
avcrdict, and that drinking intoxicating LID
uor by juror, when il Is not Improperly OBJ
tanned, and is not taken to excess, is also in-
sufficient TO viliatc a verdict
