 "Oh, am not saying word, :" said the | young Hishman in his brogue. ssThe Chi cago papers have had enough to say about me already and do not want to give them | any excuse for more." ''But do not include us in your general damnation-n
 .'Im not damning the papers, D said Burke. "Ive nothing against them, but guess they can get along without me-" All enorts to extract any comments from Burke on the verdict were vain. He ex- verse on what he termed tssocial topics" but on 'sthis other business" 1" as he called it with . jerk of his head towards the courtroom, he was as dumb e an oyster.
 While getting their pay certificates the twelve jurors were surrounded by reporters, who besieged them for information about what had transpiled in the jury room and the oause of the long delay.
 stIt's no use, said Juror Narlor. "Ws agreed not to say anything. Our verdict speaks for itself. From what have heard since got back to the world again there has been some pretty tall lying in the newspa- pers. Juror Culver was not the cause of the delay, and there was not any unpleasantness or any knock-down, as ono paper has de- clared."
 eff the others agree to tell what occurred" said Juror Allison, "I am willing, but we made an agreement to keep silent and have nothing to say"
 Juror North was hot. He had already seen some of his friends, and they had in the jury room and the assault on Juror Culver as published in morning paper to- day and he expressed himself very forcibly.
 "The man who wrote that ought to be punished, i" he said, "because there was not any trouble ct all. We passed the time very pleasantly, considering our oramped quar- ters. Please do not talk to me any more, because have been up almost every night since we went out"
 THE STATES ATTORNEY DIsrLEAsED.
 t'Are you satisfied with the verdictf' was
 sI am always satisfied when have an hon. est jury in murder case."
 "You do not expect any confessions now, do youw
 q do not"
 "What do you think of it, anywaya" "Why, it is compromise verdict; That's all there's to it. That is all anybody can It was plain that the States attorney was far from pleased at the outcome of tho case. THE cALCrTRANT JUROR INTERVIEWED. Juror John Culver took three hours of rest at his homo in Evanston this afternoon be- fore he consented to receive anyone. "Will you make a statement regarding the position you took in the jury room?" was then asked of the alleged single stubborn juror.
 "I cannot" replied the juror; "before we came into court each man placed himself up- on his honor not to reveal the proceedings in | the jary room."
 "Wiil you say whether or not you were | the odd mani"
 ''I cannot"
 'It might be for your interest to say you were not the one." "I will not say was not the one." | "That Is equivalent to stating that you were."
 II certainly took what to me was the only | just course"
 l Mir. Culver said the report that juror had struck him was wholly untrue. MT. Culver waged warmly, there was no attempt at bull dozing, much less were any blows struck It was case of lengthy discussions and finally submission" | BEaas FREE MAN.
 After congratulations to Beggs in the jai office had somewhat abated he turned to ac company his lawyer and business associate' from the place. Passing to the big street doors, the conversation in the little grou) was evidently deeply earnest. As he stepped into the street free man, Beggs was heard to say: "I am going to spend the rest of m! life hunting down the man who killed Cronin."
 The ex-senior guardian of Camp No. 2' spent few moments at his office and ther proceeded straight home. His wife answered all callers and refused them admittance.
 It is stated on what is called good author ity that but for the fear of Juror Culve going mad in the jury room the other clever would have stood out indefinitely for hang ing Coughlin, Burke and O'Sullivan; 9 years imprisonment for Beggs, and IA year
