MRS. KNIFFIN'S GRAVE.
HER BODY Will NOT BE Elk U1IED

FOR FURTHER EXAMTNATION.
A Story About a Previous Burglary IL
T~renton-The South Jersey GlassbIow
ers' Strike-Other State News.
Prosecutor Stockton was asked yes
terday whether there had yet beer
any arrangements made for the pur
pose of re-opening the grave of Mrs.
Knifin. He said that he did not know
about it, as the matter was in the
hands of County Physician Leavitt'
He was inclined to think that the
County Physician did not consider
disinterment necessary. The prosecu-
tor was of this opinion himself. Drs.
Leavitt and Coleman had both sworn
before the coronor's jury that Mrs.
Kniffin came to her death by the
administration of chloroform. They
were both convinced of this beyond a
doubt in their own minds. After this
to disturb the remains would appear
like a supererogation and a wanton
assault upon the sanctity of the grave.
Prof. Cornwalls, who has been ex-
aiming the dead woman's stomach,
will testify at the inquest on Monday
next.
Several anonymous letters have
been received by the counsel for the
prisoners in the Kniffin murder case
at Trenton, one of them coming from
Philadelphia, and all containing sug-
gestions compatible with the burglar
theory, and recommending investiga-
tions of various clues in connection
with that theory.
This story was told by q Trenton
gentleman yesterday as affording a
possible clue to the perpetrators of
the crime. assuming that burglars did
it,
Eight or nine years ago a house in
this city was p~urglarized under circum-
stances very similar to those narrated
by Miss Pursel of the night of Novem-
Der 80, the exception being that the
burglars got more than $16. They,
like the Pursel burglars, attempted to
effect an entrance by a window. This
window had inside blinds, against
which a table had been ~carelessly
pushed and could not, therefore, be
opened. The burglars then went to a
basement door which, it is thought,
they found unlocked. The only

From present appearances the lockout
of the glassworkers' of the Eastern dis
trict is nearly ended. 1t is believed the
action of Craven Brothers, in starting
their fires, means that q settlement will
be reached and they are taking time by
the forelock.

learned that Craven Brothers had started
their fires yesterday, they notified Master

glassworkers in the country, who was
making a tour of the State. He had q

with the grippe. A committee of the

been in conference with them all the

THE JURY LAW.

One of the changes which the next
legislature should make, in the inter-
est of society, is the enactment of a
law, empowering nine jurors to re-
turn verdict in all criminal trials.
Such law would not be a violation
of the constitutional clause requiring
trial by jury, and 1t would prevent
so many hung juries and mlstrials Of
the worse class of criminals-men
guilty of murder.
Delaware has had just such a law
as this in operation for nearly ten
years, and it has been found to work
admirably. 1t would also work we'll in
Texas. If it has no other effect than
that of stopping mistrials, 1t would
be great blessing to the state.
No trouble is experienced in con-
victing men of theft, simply because
juries feel no sort of sympathy for
thieves, but. in a trial for
murder, iuries too often forget the
duty they owe to society and to the
majesty of the.law. Let nine jurors
return a verdict, and few murderers
will be able to escape punishment.
Now, it is in the power of single
juror to make mistrial. This is
change that should be made.

THE Globe Democrat has this to-
say of the causes Of the Republican
reverses:
cit is not difficult to point out the
immediate causes for the Republican
reverse. To the Federal elections
bill and to the tariff must the result be
chiefly attributed. An unfortunate
mistake was made by the Republi-
cans in persisting in their endeavor
| to pass the former measure in the
face of the opposition of the lead
| ing Republicans of the South, for
| whose imagined benefit the bill was
being pushed, and against the protest
of the masses of tine party in the
West. The blunder is patent enough
now to the most pronounced and per-
sistent champions Of the measure,
and there is not much likelihood of
its enactment in the coming session.
1t was through the tariff law, how
ever, that most of the damage was
inflicted on the republicans. The law,
of course, is far from being as bad as
the democrats have pretended to be.

reduced it to about 800. The exulta-
