CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-John Graham, the
seventh man indicted in connection with
the conspiracy to bride jurors in the Gro
min case. gave bonds last evening in the
sum of $4,000, double the amount re-
quired of his fellow-conspirators.
States Attorney Longenecker said
that that Graham was the man who en-
ployed the other six to see the men who
were to be summoned on the jury. The
evidence against Graham, he said, was
as strong as could be expected iu such a
case. Graham began this work over two
months ago, but the states attorney is
atistied that the eight jurors already 60
epted have not been tempered with.

The venireman turned reproachfully
to his friend and said: Il am not that
kind of man," whereupon the bailiff re-
piled: II am working for the court"

Nobody"
After considerable questioning, Kav-

The Dutch Parliament Puts the King
TO Work Again.

LONDON, May 2.-The cross-examination
of MIR. Parnell was continued before the
Parnell Commission today. Mr.. Parnell ad-
mitted that Condor was connected with the
Manchester murders. He was chairman Of
the reception committeeat Washington. Wit
ness had always repudiated the dynamite
and physical force party in America, and de-
nsunced them in the House Of Commons. He
was not aware that the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Gazette reported verbatim the speech he
made at Cincinnati, in which he is said to
have referred to the severance of the last
link between Great Britain and Ireland, or
World.
Mr.. Parnell admitted that he had not
found fault with the past action Of the In
yincibles. He quoted from his.speeches and
his manifesto Of 1881, denouncing outrages
and unconstitutional action by Irishmen.
The cross examination proceeded through
mass Of detail, aimed to connect Mr.. Par
nell with the Fenians, and also to show that
he must have known of the plots to commit
murder. Nothing was elicited from the wit
ness to show that he was in any way con-
nected with the Fenians or had any knowl-
edge of murderous conspiracies. Attorney
General Webster cited menacing speeches
made by w. Redmond. Mr.. Parnell listened
to the Attorney General, who remarked that
old heads could not be put on young shoul-
ders. Mr.. Parnell read extracts from
speeches delivered by him in 1879, such as
Let us remain with the law and the consti-
tution;" hope the people will not be tempt
ed to create violence and an illegal attitude to
the government" ".rhe League is perfectly
ing behind it." Mr.. Parnell said that in
1880 he denounced the shooting Of agents as
unnecessary and prejudiclal. He admitted
that such denunciation was insufficient to
stop such outraees. He denied that he was
responsible for the violence of the articles
which appeared in United Ireland, and said
OBrien had supreme control of that paper.
