One Of the Jurors on the Short Jury
Arrested.

Arfestcus
lBy telegraph 10 the Dlspatch.l
NEW YORK, May S.-IIaryey NJ.
Munsell, of 224 west Fifty-seeond street,
and insurance broker, and the eleventh
Juror on the trial of Richard Short for
attempted assassination Of Captain Phe-
Ian in O'Donovan Rossa's Office on jan
uary 9th, was arrested this afternoon
by detective from the district attor-
ney's office on an order issued by Judge
Van Brunt, who presided over the trial,
charging Munsell with misdeneanor,
perjury, and contempt of court as
Juror. IL has been discovered
by District Attorney MARITIME that
several days before the trial
Munsell was in consultation with
Short in the Tombs, and that during
the recess of the court on Wednesday,
when the trial was pending. he visited
O'Donovan Rossa's office and had con-
sultation with Pat. Joyce. Bail was
fixed at $4,000. Munsell will be in
dicted Monday. The district attorney
had his own detectives and Pinker-
toms men watching the jurors from the
time they were empanelled, neither
party of watchers knowing that they
had rivals in the case. The warden
and keeper of the Tombs as well as
the prisoner whom Munsell went to
see. and two tenants in ROsSa's
building. are witnesses. Each set Of
detectives made similar report. The
district attorney is confident he can
convict Munsell under section 73 Of the
penal code. which provides that juror
who wilfully receives information rela-
ting to cause or matter pending before
him. except in the regular course of the
proceedings upon the trial, is guilty OF
misdemeanor. To 90 to Rossa's only to
view the premises would have been a
misdemeanor. 1t was perjury for Mum
sell in qualifying as juror to swear he
did not know Short, if the district at
torney's evidence is correct.
INTERvIEw WITH THE ARRESTED
SHORT JUROR.
NEW YORK, May 8.-Munsell, the
arrested juror in the Short case, was
seen in the Tombs tonight. He said
he went to 0'Donoyan Rossa's office to
get better idea of the surroundings
than the diagram shown in court gave !;
remained there only about minute,
and spoke to no one while there. He
saw Short once in the Tombs, when
he called TO see 0rrin Skinner, the al
legged swindler, who had obtained money
from him. skinner had promised to get
some of Munsell's money back for him.
and had asked him to visit Mrs. Skin
ner, who was dying in Quincy, Ill.
On this occasion he did not
speak to Short and got only
such a poor view Of him that he did not
recognize him when Short took the wit
ness-chair. Munsell claimed TO be OPP
posed to all dynamite plans, but that
on the evidence produced he could only
conscientiously acquit the prisoner. =.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
This is 0akwood memorial-day, and
/ ask the favor Of brief paragraph in
your columns relative to its observance.
The beautiful custom Of going once
each year TO the graves of our fallen
heroes and leaving there floral tribute
has. in my judgment. received much
less encouragement from our people
than il should have done. and | think a
reminder of the debt of love we owe
them would not be out of place.
On last memOrial-day, though the
weather was all that could be wished,
only a few soldiers graves were
decorated. and the decoration Of those
was due almost .entirely TO the efforts
of one lady. A considerable number
in private sections were beautifully
strewn with flowers, but the graves OF
the soldiers, whose friends were far
away perhaps, or like themselves, had
gone down to the dust, were almost for
gotten.
On the national memorial-day the
national cemeteries East. West, North,
and South will be alive with flowers,
whether the fallen ones be strangers
from afar or cherished ones who rest
near their homes. and why can our
people not do as much for the brave
boys who fell in cause none the less
Just because it was impracticable? 1t
cannot harm the living or promote dis
loyal sentiment to show this much re-
spect to the honOred dead, and trust
that Richmond's ladies will not suffer
the day to pass until every grave of the
fallen :. boys who wore the gray y shall
have received the tribute Of affection SO

The report was adopted by vote OF
s to 9.
A communication was read from the
Board Of Health asking an appropria-
ton Of eco to defray the expense Of
printing ordinances, &C., relative to
sanitary measures. The amount was
appropriated.
A communication was read from Mr..
G. A. Peple, chairman of the School
Board Committee on New School-Build-
ings. saying that two school-buildings
such as are needed here will cost
$4,000, grounds and furniture in-
cluded. The report closed with the
following language: The committee
having been advised to devise means Of
raising the above-stated amount, begs
leave to suggest to your Council that
private capital should be invited to in
vest in the new school-buildings. and
that proper guarantee should be offered
by the city, and that the debt be final
ly liquidated by means Of sinking
fund" No action was taken in the
matter.
The ordinance concerning the street
railway was laid on the table.
City-Attorney c. c. McRae was pre-
sent, and called the attention Of the
Council to the condition Of the Free
bridge. lie said that from a recent ex-
animation made by Colonel Cntshaw it
was ascertained that the bridge needs a
general oyerhauling, the cost Of which
would be about s7,000-s5,l50 more
than has already been appropriated.
Half of this IS, $50 would have to be
appropriated by this city, the other half
by Richmond. He thought it both eco
nomical and important that this work
should be done as early as possible.
No action was taken in the matter.
