! John GRAHAM, Held in $4,000 Bail-He
Was tho Chief of the Jury Bribers.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-John Graham, the
seventh man indicted in connection with
the conspiracy to bribe jurors in the Cro-
min case, gave bonds last evening in the
sum Of $4,000, double the amount re-
quired of his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
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
satisfied that the eight jurors already ac-
cepted have not been tampered with.
Cunning for Bigger Game.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The investigation
into the methods of the jury bribers is
temporarily at standstill to-day. The
efforts of the state are now directed
howard finding out the leader-the head
hnd front-of the great conspiracy to
corrupt the. jury which is to try the mur-
derers of Dr.. Cronin. Higher game is
bound to come down so, at least States
Attorney Longenecker processes to be-
ieve. The connection between Kava-
! .agh and the minor conspirators and
hat between Kavanagh and; John
iraham have. already been established.
1t now, remains to be discovered who is
behind Graham.

THE vENIREMEN'S STORY,


The young man was taken to Attorney
Longeneck's office, where he told sub
.stantially the following story: In obe-
dience to summons he came to the
court house Tuesday, sat in the ante
room, but was not called. He came
again Wednesday, and stayed in the
ante-roOn again, and about 1890 o'clock
q man came from the court room into the
ante-room who was an old friend of the
venireman. The fact also appears that
the wives of the two men were friends
before they were married. The man who
came from the court room to the venire-
man suggested that they go out and have
a cigar, and the two men went to a
neighboring place and, after having a
cigar, while there the man from the
court room said to the venireman: DO
you want to make some money? The
veniremen innocently answered, Ger
tainly I do Very well, you get on the
jury and stick for an acquittal and you
will have 81, ,000.'
The venireman turned reproachfuly
to his friend and said: II am not that
kind of man," whereupon the bailiff re-
piled: II am working for the court" :"
At the noon adjournment the venireman
went BACK 10 hlS place OF business ana
subsequently returned to the court house
at 2 o'clock, after which he was drawn
and called to the jury box, where he re-
mained until 4:3O o'clock, when he was
excused for cause. He left the court
house, intending to return to his place of
business, and on leaving the court house
met on the steps leading to the sidewalk
the man who had attempted to bribe
him. The man turned to him and said:
''Where were you this noontine? l
looked everywhere for you. They said:
WE WILL MAKE IT FIVE THOUSAND,
and, damn him, make him do it." 1t
was too late, however, as the venireman
had been excused for cause, but he at
once returned to his place Of business,
and reported TO his employer. the promi-
nent citizen, what had taken place, who,
the following day reported it to the

The Wilmington Star remarks
that the trust has got another black
eye, and adds: "This time the blow
was struck by the Supreme Court of
Illinois, and the trust struck was the
Chicago Gas Company. The gas com
panies of that city about a year ago
organized a trust, and suit was insti.
tuted in the the name of the people to
test their right under their franchise
to organize a trust to raise the price
of gas, and whether they had not for.
feited their charters by so doing.
Judge Baker, before whom the case
was argued, decided in favor of the
people, an appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, which sustained the
lower court, and held that while the
companies had a legal right to manu-
facture and sell gas, there was nothing
in their charters which empowered
them to buy the stock of other com.
panies, or combine for the purpose of
raising the price of gas, and such
combination was against public policy
and in violation of the spirit if not the
letter of the Constitution. Exit gas
trust. Score one more for the people"

ON the 29th ult. Patent Commits.
" sioner Mitchell, at Washington,
rendered a decision in the exparse
case of Sigmund Odenheimer, in
which was involved the applicants
rights to o patent for the use of cot
ton as a baling fabric. In this case
the Commissioner says:
"The most conspicuous change
made by the inventor to produce his
alleged invention was the substitution
of cotton for jute in the manufacture
of bagging. The applicant urged that
cotton was specially adapted for use
in such manufacture because, unlike
jute, it is not highly indamable, nor
brittle, inelastic or rough, and that it
can commercially compete with jute,
Notwithstanding its greater cost. He
further claims that the discovery of
It's value for such was the result of
long experiment, attended by large
expense in ascertaining how the
threads should be spun with a great
deal of twist so as TO give uniform
smoothness and hardness and lightness
in weight, and also that he found it
necessary to omit the sizing process,
which diminished the elasticity of the
threads"
The commissioner, following the re-
cent decision OF the Supreme Court In.
the case of Brown VS.. the District of
Columbia, where the allegediuvention
] n pavement consisted in the substitu-
ton Of specially shaped wood blocks,
laid and filled in a certain way, for
blocks of stone, held that notwith
standing the advantages by the alleged
invention and the commercial success
it had received, the applicant had, in
substituting one material for another,
only availed himself of the resources
and knowledge of the weaver's art;
that the experiment and trials prac-
ticed by him were merely along the
lines suggested by skill and expert
ence pertaining to the calling involv-
ing the intelligent manipulation of
materials, and the supposed invention
was not a creative work of the inven-
tive faculty which the laws contem-
plated to encourage and reward.
