Death of a Mysterious Woman.
New YORK, November 29th-A M.-Sev-
eral months ago an old woman, who called
herself Mrs. Jerome, rented room in the
attic OF 141 Yeorck street. She appeared to
her neighbors to be person who had been
in good circumstances. She once said that
if it were not for the war OF the rebellion
she would have houses and lands, and from
that they got the impression that she
was Southener. Every night she rode on
the cars up to Madison Avenue, and when
she returned she brought back cooked food
and delicacies. On Thanksgiving afternoon
she was found dead in her room. Her
body was removed to the Morgue. No
friends of hers have appeared. 1t is sup

Was the Jury Packed?
New YORK, November 29th-A. M
There is talk now that the jury which
failed to convict ex-Alderman McQuade of
bribery in the Broadway railroad matter
was packed. The law requires the Com
missioner of Jurors shall begin the prepa-
ration of trial jury lists in May, and file
them with the County Clerk before Oc-
tober. While he is expected on these lists
to name all persons liable to serve as
jurors, the statute provides that he may,
from time to time after October, return
certified copies of lists containing the
names of persons liable to serve as
jurors who were omitted from the
former lists. The intent of the law
is that the Commissioner shall do
his work between May and October. Accord
ing to the statement of the District Attor-
ney, this rule has not been complied with
by Commissioner Reilly. On November
18th, just before the trial of McQuade be-
gan, Reilly filed list of over 5000 names,
which were put into the box. From these
were drawn the names of the jurymen
who tried McQuade. To suppose that this
list was made up entirely of names omitted
from the regular list, requires a large
amount of credulity and faith in the pres
ent Commissioner.
Just before the trial was brought to its
astonishing termination, Reilly appeared
at the County Clerks Office with another
list of nearly 1000 names, and these were
also put into the box, from which the
second McQuade jury is to be drawn. Out
Of the first fifty names drawn for the
second jury, thirty-six Tor nearly rs per
cent) were those of the jurors on these
two additional lists that were filed after the
time specified by law. When it is remem-
bered that McQuade was, until few days
ago, one of Reilly's bondsmen, and John
keenan, was the Commissioner most init
mate political friend and backer, the
significance of these facts becomes ap-
parent The District Attorney has been
quietly investigating the matter, and it is
probable some important revelations will
be made in few days. Mr.. Martine's en-
ergetic assistant, Mr.. Nicholl said last
night that they were not prepared as yet to
make specific charges against Commission
er Reilly, further than that the law had
not been complied with by him. Reilly
denies any crooked work, and says he has
nothing to do with the drawing of the jury,
nor with the jury list, after he has fur
nished the names of men liable to jury
duty.
