WHAT THE FOREMEN OF The FIRST TWO JCRrBS SAT-
OF MR. KER's CHARGES.
Mr.. W. c. Murdoch, the foreman or the first Kill
bourn jury, In speaking to STAR reporter OF the
charges made In q letter OF Mr.. w. W. Ker, OF
bribery said 81 don't know what this letter is to
which reference has been made In the newspapers,
or exactly what the charges are, but II he says
directly or intimates remotely, that In any way,
shape or form received BRIDE he lies. As far my
knowledge goes, IL he says that any member OF the
Jury was brtbed, he lies. No one is any richer by
that verdict than he was before The verdict was
an honest one and was based upon the charge
made by Judge Macarthur"
Mir. James Ward, who was the foreman OF the
second jury, said TO a STAR reporter last evening
that as far as he knew The charge made by Mr..
Ker that the JurieS had been fixed" was without
any foundation whatever, for he saw moth hing TO
indicate anything OF the kind. From the first the
jury on which he served were IN favor OF
giving the plaintiff a good round sum- and on the
first ballot there We're niue who named sums ex-
ceeding $4,000 and that sum was reached 10y aver
aging the ballots. He had never seen Mr.. Kilbourn
before the trial and but few times after the trial.
and he did not believe that there was any approach
made in his behalf to any member OF the Jury.
They gave the verdict on principle
