Afternoon session.

At 5 O'Clock Judge Atkins was in his
seat, and Sergeant Lee called the jury.
Cluverius was in his same seat, and all
Of his counsel except Mr.. Evans were
present.
Mr.. A. S. Goode, the challenged
juror, had expressed desire to make
statement, and he was allowed to
take the stand. He said that he had
heard the reports about his making
bets. but declared that if he did it was
done in a jocular way. Newspaper re-
ports made no impression on him. and
no believed he could give the prisoner a
fair trial, but in view Of what had been
said he preferred not to sit in the case.
&" | will discharge him unless objec-
tion is made" said Judge Atkins.
We do not consent. sir, )" replied
Mr.. Pollard, of counsel for defence.
A BETTING BARBER.
William Harris, acolOred barber, who
does business on Eighteenth street, took
the stand. He said that four or five
weeks ago Mr.. Goode was in his shop,
and the conversation turned on the Gu
verius case, and Harris said he would
be convicted. Goode replied that he
didn't know, and said that if they didn't
stop fooling he would be cleared, and
offered to bet ten-cent cigar that he
would be. Harris took the bet.
He told Judge Crump that Goode had
been in the shop since and shaved, but
that they had not talked about the bet
since it had been made.
Are you going to claim your
bet asked Judge Crump.
II expect III have to-" said Harris.
Thomas White, a cslored worker in
the shop of Harris, took the stand. He
heard the bet and corroborated what
Harris had said, but he remembered
that he heard Mr.. Goode say that he
could give the prisoner fair trial.
ANOTHER BET.
Officer Robinson was next sworn.
He said that it was his custom to 90
into Mr.. Goodies store while he (Goode)
kept store on Twenty-ffth street. One
night about three or four weeks ago he
went in, and be and Goode commenced
TO argue the case. He expressed an opin-
ion that Cluverius was guilty, and Goode
took the opposite and said he would
bet him fifty cigars that the accused
would be acquitted. The bet was in

WHAT MR.. FORD SAID.

Mr.. j. 7. Ford sworn lie said he
knew Mr.. Larke, and ten days ago
talked with him in the grocery-store Of
Bourne & Elan, on Church Hill, corner
of Twenty-seyenth and Marshall streets.
The Cluyerius case was talked about,
and Larke asked him what he thought
about the case. lie said his mind was
made up. whereupon Larke said he
had no right to make up his mind from
what newspapers said, and, continuing,
remarked that he "would never con-
sent TO hang man on circumstantial
evidence" lie said Mr. Boswell and
several others were present when this
was said.
William A. Boswell sworn Ten
days ago, at Bourne 4 Elam's store, he
heard Larke say that he wouldn't hang
any person on circumstantial evidence.
lie spoke in q geaeral way, and he
understood him TO mean that circum-
stantiai evidence was something not
seen by an eyewitness"
Mr.. Boswell, in answer to query BY

A REAL LAUGH.

For the first time since Cluverius has
been brought before tribunal Of JUS
tice he INDUCED in natural laugh.
The talk Of the old man pleased him to
the core, and he darted towards the
reporters triumphant look, and an
expression of great enjoyment swept
over his face and changed its express
sion. The change did not last long.
He quickly recovered himself, and the
conventional smile usually seen re-
turned.

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.

The dress reformers and those who
advocate the abolition Of the corsets as
an article Of women's apparel will be
dismayed at the enormous increase IN
the manufacture and sale Of corsets.
There are now no less than ten or twelve
large establishments In the United
States devoted exclusively to the manu-
facture Of corsets OF the better quality.
Their capital aggregates millions Of
money and OF the manufacturers OF the
cheaper grade Of goods there Is seem
ingiy no end. The Thomson Glove
Fitting Corset, manufactured by Thom-
son. Langdon j Co., Of New York.
which Is sold by all first-class dealers
II the United States. is gaining in p0pu-
lar favor each season, and at the present
time the orders are far IL advance Of
the supply. Whether OF not cOrsets
are injurious to health will continue to
he yexed question with theorists until
the goddess OF Fashion DEGREES their
abolition. Meanwhile any article
which adds 10 the beauty and comfort
Of the female form will continue in
favor until the goddess is dethroned.
Messrs. Thomson, Langdon { Co. re-
cognize this fact, and they make more
hhan thirteen different styles Of Thom-
sons Glovs-FItting. two Of which are
with extra long waists. ii order that
every demand OF comfort and beauty
NAV be met. Competent judges have
pronounced them superior To all others,
and they have obtained tbe highest
