in the jury room. 1t was found by a
Deputy Sheriff in bundle Of soiled linen
which the Juror sent to his home. After
reciting how the jury stood and stating
that the eleven white men would not
allow themselves to be Influenced by
negro, the juror said that Jurymah
named Scott had received letter from
Judge Ford. the chief of the alleged assas-
sins. telling his friends on the jury to hold
out. and that all would be well. The juror
also instructed his wife how to communi-
cate with Judge Ford's friends with the
view of getting compensation for the
jurors fealty to Judge Ford.

why there was a mistrial, and shows the

citizens TO serve as jurors. New Orleans
may expect to have her streets frequently
stained with human blood if her citizens
refuse to do their duty.

CoIouitt,s Fight Against speer

Senator COlquitt is making a strong
fight against the confirmation Of Emory
Speer's nomination. He has succeeded
in DELAYING action on the nomination by
the judiciary Committee for much
longer time than it was believed he could.
Even if the nomination is reported favor
ably he may be able to prevent its con-
firmation by delaying its consideration, or
by securing a majority against 1t.
Heexerts himself all the more willingly,
doubtless. in this case, because he feels
that he is supported by the almost unani-
nous sentiment Of his State. The New
York Tribune appears to have come TO
Mr.. Speer's assistance. The Washington
correspondent Of that paper says pretty
plainly that Senator .Colquitts pur-
pose is to "stan0 OF" Mr..
speer's nomination until after the
adjournment Of Congress, 50 that Mr.
Cleveland can appoint Democrat. The
same correspondent says that the Re
publican Senators are beginning 10 un-
derstand that the only real ground Of OPP
position to Mr.. Speer is that he left the
Democratic party to become a Republ-
can, and that he Is being made the victim
Of political persecution.
Il is no doubt true that there is a good
deal Of feeling against Mr.. Speer because
he deserted his party. The feeling against
him. however, Is not due to the fact that
he acts with the Republicans, but because
it is believed that he joined the Republic
can party to get office and not from con-
viction. There is no political persecution
in Georgia. and if it were believed that
Mr.. Speer was a sincere Republican there
would be no feeling against him on that
account.
The chief opposition to him, however,
as Senator Colquitt shows, is that 1t Is
not believed that he has the necessary
qualifications for the office. Mr.. SpeeT is
recognized as a brilliant young man, hut
he hasn't the reputation of being an eN-
cellent lawyer. As Judge Of the Southern
District Of Georgia he would be called on
to administer kind Of Law with which,
it is understood. he has no acquaintance
whatever.
Again. assuming that it is true that he
is not a Republican from conviction, Is 1t
not question whether he is ft in other
respects TO discharge the responsible
duties Of United Sta.es District Judge:
If the appointment were only for short
time the sOlicitude about having the right
sort of man in the office would not, per-
haps. be so marked, but being for life, the
desire that the appOintee shall be IN every
respect worthy of the place is general.
OF course a Democrat is preferred 10
Republican, but there would be no cutlery
against Republican of the right kind and
having the necessary qualifications. Now
that Mr.. Speer's confirmation appears
uncertain. an effort will be made, doubt
less, to get the Northern Republican jour
nails to insist on his confirmation on the
ground that the opposition to him is moth
ing more than political persecution.

How Dentist Imperilled the Life of
His Patient.
Comfortably reclining on small iron
cot in the extreme northwestern corner
of the mems ward of the Albany City Hos
pital, says the Amsterdam n. y Demo-
crdt, was found yesterday morning the
Englishman named Thurman, of Amster-
dam, whose case is very peculiar. He
told the following story: Il was en-
ployed in Clark & Kline's knitting fac
tory, Amsterdam, and was taken sud-
denly sick in June, 1882, and continued
seriously i'll until July IL, when l was re-
moved TO this institution, where l have
since been. When l was first attacked
/ called on DR.. L. E. RulisOn,
with whom l made an engagement for
the next day, but Immediately after
seeing him l was taken violently ill, being
attacked at intervals by tits of uncOn-
seriousness and vomiting. DIR. Rulison
made a thorough study of my case, and
upon being informed that had two teeth
filed recently, which at that time irri-
tated my mouth, said that there was some
defect in the dentistry. subsequently l
found that the sense of feeling was gradu-
ally going out of my feet, and finally my
hands and arms and feet became totally
helpless. For eight months 1 could not
feel myself and was unconscious most of
the time. The physician at my request
extracted the teeth, and after ana
lying the artificial filling reported that
L had been poisoned by arsenic and
other ingredients used in the filling.
DR.. RulIsOn forwarded one tooth to the
late DIR. Mosher, of Albany, for examina
ton and kept the other one. l found re-
lief Immediately after the teeth were re-
moved, though the poison had thoroughly
penetrated my system. l vonited but
once aiterward, and the former fits of I'M
consciousness did not recur, but / remain
helpless, as you see." The unfortunate
man has been in this country about 16 or
IS years, but has no relatives. The dem
fist who filed his teeth is still in bust
ness. A few weeks ago the patient was
thought to be failing, but he is now i'm
proved. He has little hope that he will
ever recover.

The New Orleans Assassination
Case,


We have called attention several times
to the Murphy murder trial at New Or
leans. Toe trial, as announced In our
dispatches, came to an end a day or two
ago. The jury failed TO agree and was
discharged. The Judge stated that he
had decided not TO keep the jury together
any longer because of a letter which he
had in his possession. The contents Of
the letter were not published at the time,
but have since been made public
The jury, according to the statement OF
one Of the Jurors, cOl0red man, STOOD
eleven for acouittal and one for cOnvic-
ton. The one for conviction was the col
Ored man. Not many days before the
Murphy trial he had been rejected IN the
United States Circuit Court as an IN
competent juror. For that reason it was
thought by the public at New Orleans
that he was on the Murphy jury for the
purpose of preventing the conviction of
the defendants.
The circumstances of the murder of
Col. Murphy are known to all the readers
of the daily papers. He was assassinated
at midday IN public street few weeks
ago. Five men were arrested as his
assassins. One was Police Judge, and
the others were officers OF his court.
The assassination and the trial caused
much excitement in New Orleans. There
was not much sympathy for the MUIR
dered man, but there was great indigna-
ton at the preparation Of such crime.
The letter, which the Judge ofthe court
referred to when he discharged the jury,
was written, it Is alleged, by one Of the
Jurors to his wife after the jury was locked
