A Friend on the jury.


Judge Stewards stock of anecdotes is inex-
haustible. He RECALLED select circle Yesterday
with two "reminiscences apropos Of the manner
in which juries sometimes arrive at their YER
diets. In both instances he derived benefit
from having friend on the jury. Before the
Judge was elevated to the bench he had a case
In the city court In which he was fearful of be-
Ing thrown out OF court, as the opposing counsel
was cutting down his claim and it seemed
ProOaoie that the jury, If they gave him YER
dict at all, would find for less amount than
800, of which tho court could not take iuris-
dicton. Lawyer Stewart resolved to put a
bold face on the matter and demanded of the
jury verdict for at least 1925 When the
verdict was rendered LAWYER Stewart was
much surprised to lind that it was in his favor
for S2S7. He afterward asked an acquaintance
OF his who was on the jury how the verdict had
been reached. You see. MIR. Stewart" said his
friend, I'VE could agree upon no amount. and
nnaiiy 1t was resolved that each juryman should
write a sum on piece of paper. and the total
should be divided by twelve which should be
the verdict knowing that all the others we're
for small verdict 1 wrote $1,000" On an
other occasion Lawyer Stewart made bold
but. as he believed, unsuccessful claim for a
verdict OF FOO, and was correspondence as
tonisEed when the jury gave him $3.50. lyon
see, Stewart, said friend of his upon the
jury, there were ten of us who would have
given you any amount you asked but there
"e,o t"o WIN onis wanted 10 give Sl5O. FL
nally it narrowed down to $50 against $3.50. the
smaller amount being championed by the two
men, and 1t was resolved to write the two
amounts on slips of paper and place them in a
hat, which was to be held by one OF the two
men while the other drew one of the papers
the amount written on it to be our Verdict
This was done and the slip with $3.50 came ont,
which verdict was accordingly rendered But
you ought to have seen the faces of those two
men," continued the juryman, when in
formed them that had written the larger
amount on both slips of paper"

SENTENCED FOR MANSLAUGHTER.
George Laws Sent to the Reform School
During His Minority.

In the Criminal Court this morning George
Laws. the colored boy under Indictment for
murder. who last Wednesday plead guilty to
MISUNDERSTANDING the death Of James E.
Nelson in March last-was called for sentence
Laws stated that the deceased was one Of his
most intimate friends; that he was at church
on the night in question and his cousin who
had got his pistol at the house the day before.
put it in his pocket. After church two of his
companions got to q1arreling and the deceased
came up behind and took hold of him. when he
turned and drawing the pistol out pushed at
him and the weapon went of. He spoke with
feeling of their. previous intimacy.
THE QUESTION OF THE BOYS AGE
came up, when a sister of the prisoner took, the
stand and stated that he was born February IS.
1875; but when she stated that she was but
seven years older than he the court asked for
better evidence.
The father Of the boy was sent for and the
family Bible, and Gen. Darlington suggested
In answer to MIR. Lipscomb's statement, that 1t
was difficult to tell the age of colored people:
that Col. Wood, an old Virginian, said he
judged from the eyes and teeth of the boy that
he was fiftcen years old
The boys father returned to the court room
about noon, and the record in the family Bible
confirming the sisters statement that the bow
was born February 19, 1875. the court sem
fenced him to the reform school during mi.
nority.

GUNNER MCGOWAN KILLED.
Fatal Premature Explosion of the Cart.
ridge of a Big Gun on the Alliance.

report has been received at the Navy De-
partment from Commander Henry c. TAYLOR.
commanding the U.S.S Alliance, now on her
way to China, stating that on the morning Of
the 9th instant, while the ship was cruising in
the Mediterranean and the crew was at target
practice Boatswan's Mate J. MCGOWAN was in
stantly killed by the premature explosion of a
6O-pounder breech-loading rifle. He was
captain OF the gun and was in the act of lock-
ing the breech mechanism when the cartridge
exploded, blowing the plug entirely through
his body, which vas torn apart The trunk
lay some distance from the legs. across the
ships deck from the gun. Commander Taylor
Immediately ordered board of officers to in
vestigate the cause Of the explosion, their re-
port only deepening the mystery. They
could find nothing to show that the primer had
been placed in the vent, as ordinarily its shell
remains in the vent when exploded. and there
was none to be found on this occasion. Nc
Gowan was known to be a careful gunner well
acquainted with ordnance, and he had taken
every precaution. The board came to the con-
clusion that in the turning of the breech plug
into place the metal must have struck a spark
and ignited the cartridge. No blame was at
tached to any one for the accident.

DEATH SENTENCE IMPOSED.
Cross, the Wife Murderer, to be Hung
January 8, 1891.

among the prisoners who were at court this
morning was VIM. Douglas Cross, the colored
man convicted March 20 of the murder of his
wife, Hattie Cross, by shooting her in the head
In October last near 7th street and Virginia
avenue southwest
Messrs c. Maurice Smith and Joseph ShiI-
lington, the prisoners counsel took a number
of exceptions on the trial to the ruling of the
court and also moved for a new trial. which
motion was overruled on Wednesday last, and
also took an appeal to the General Term, which
necessitated the setting of the date of execu-
ton some months ahead. Cross, who had kept
up his spirits we'll during the trial. broke down
on his return to Jail last Wednesday When he
appeared in court this morning he was looking
very much oppressed. His aged father was bv
his side to comfort him
At 1895 O'Clock Cross was placed at the bar
and the chief justice asked him if he had any
thing to say. He replied: MAY it please your
nonor, am an innocent man; innocent before
God. This was spoken in a low and husky
voice. indicating emotion
The chief justice said the Jury had Thought
otherwise and the court did not think that they
were pre]udiced against him. He had been
ably defended during the trial and there couid
be no cause for reflection on the men who con-
victed him. There was nothing left for the
court to do but to impose the sentence of the
law, which was that he be taken to the Jail and
be kept in close confinement until the 9Th day
OF January, 1891. and between the hours of 10
a. m. and IL m. be taken to the place of execu-
ton In the walls of the Jail and be hanged by
the neck till he be dead, adding: May the
Lord have mercy upon your soul"
Cross did not break down, as was expected
and seemed to have prepared himself for it,
evidently having hopes of new trial being
granted.
CROSS SEEKING CONSOLATION.
Cross was completely overcome by the execu-
ton at the Jail Thursday, and the thought of
being sentenced today, and last night he was
so broken up that he had to be removed
from his own cell and placed with Henry
Williams the murderer OF ex-Policeman
Alder, who is soon TO be sent to
Albany for life. Cross has expressed a
desire to be placed in the cell adjoining the
one occupied by Vim. Briggs, who was con-
victed of murder and granted new trial. so
that he and Briggs can converse with each
other. Rev. Mr.. Roberts, who has acted as
spiritual adviser of many condemned men,
has been requested to visit Cross, which he
will shortly do

DAN LAMONT GETTING RICH
His Novel Method of Dealing With
Gotham Aldermen.

New York letter in the Philadelphia Times
says: Perhaps the most interesting figure Of
the Cleveland administration is the ex-Presi-
dents former private secretary. The mys-
terry of Lamont is profound He is effacing
himself thoroughly and pushing the inter-
ests of his friends. These friends are three of
the richest men in New York. Lamont has
impressive offices in the Mills building, and
the whole desire of his life seems to be to
sink into apparent oblivion. He is forever
trying to get on. of sight. When he enters a
cab he pulls down the shade. and his favorite
seat on an elevated train is at the tail end of
the last car with his back to his fellow pas-
sengers. lie goes to his Office very early in
the morning, slides in through a private door
and remains secluded until all but his con-
hdentlal clerk have departed for the night
He il successful IN an extreme degree, but
he is as anxious to keep this knowledge from
mankind as most men are TO conceal a
failure. Lamont seldom smiles. He is thinner
