Il ".
repeated his statement that he bad
never formed or expressed any decided
opinion. He believed he did remember
making the bet with the barber.
Mr. Meredith said he did not think
Mr.. Goode intended to make any false
statement, but it was fact that he had
made two bets. The amount was not
to be considered in the matter Of dis
qualification. The same amount Of dis
qualification could be found in ten
cents as would be involved in thousands
Of dollars.
WHAT A BET MUST DE.
Mr.. Pollard said that he could not
undertake to say what was binding
bet, but that bet must be something
in the nature Of contract, and that
Mr.. Goode did not so consider the ban
ter made by him. Judge Crump fol-
lowed Mr.. Pollard, after which Colonel
Aylett took the floor. he said that the
prisoner could not afford to have such
a juror try his case. This case
WAS WATCHED WITH ARGUS EYES
all over this country, and he for one
did not want any report OF this sort to
20 forth to the world. He regretted
that the prisoner at the bar did not
unite through his counsel with the Com
monwealth in the request that the name
Of A. S. Goode be stricken from the list
Of jurors. Honest men would die
for opinions sake ; martyrs had died
at the stake, and their ashes
had mingled with the winds Of the earth
before they would relinquish their
opinions. Why was it that our beau
tiful city was begirt with the graves Of
gallant soldiers but for opinions sake ?
Goode had so far forgot himself as to
bet on the life Of Cluyerius, and was
he q competent juror?
"I'll decide in the morning this with
the other case. Bring in the jury, Mr..
Lee" said the Court.
"If your Honor please, | would ask
that the jury be particularly instructed
not to read the papers," said Mr.. Pol
lard.
"I'll attend to that at the proper
time" said Judge Atkins.
The court then adjourned until IL
o'clock to-day.

A SUGGESTION.
Instead Of making a daily detail,
would in not be better for Major Poe
to select four truSty officers and send
them to the Hastings Court on special
duty until the trial-which promises to
be lengthy-is over. New men but
poorly appreciate their duties, and are
much more interested in the proceed
ings than in keeping order.
AN EXPLANATION.
1t has time and again been stated
that Lillian Madison left the American
Hotel without paying her bill. This is
true. because she was pre-
vented by other hands from ever com
ing back. 1t is but Just to say, how
ever, that her father offered to pay her
bill, and Dir. Dodson refused to accept
it under the circumstances that shrouded
the fate of the poor girl.
The Twelve.
The twelve men who have been ac-
cepted and so far stand on the panel
are as follows:
j. c. Brockenbroueh, Henry Keppler,
W. r. Coleman, W. II. Parker,
j. p. Heath, K. W. Larke,
William ID. Trice, A. S. Goode.
A. 5. Hooper, w. Rheimheimer,
James NJ. Elicit, c. \. Harrison.
Sixteen men are necessary for the
panel. Defence will strike off four
names, and the remaining twelve form
the jury.
Manchester Notes.
William Timberlake, the colored man
who was indicted for burglary last Mon
day by special grand jury, was tried
in the Hastings Court yesterday. The
jury brought in a verdict of Not
guilty" The prisoner was discharged.
