CONVICTED OF JURY BRIBING.
McCrystol Found Guilty of Attempting to
Bride tie Mafia Jury.

Bride the Malta Jury.
The trial of O'Malley and McCrystol
for attempting to bribe tales juror,
McCabe, came up at New Orleans on
the 10th. After the witnesses had been
called District Attorney Gutenberg
asked for severance of the
two accused, as the state pro-
posed to place McCrystol on trial first
Accordingly O'Malley was told to step
aside. The purpose of the severance,
Mr.. Gutenberg said, was to reduce the
number of challenges permitted to the
accused, and jury was quickly secured.
McCabe testified that he was a collect
or, was summoned as a tales Juror in the
Hennessey case, but did not serve, being
challenged by the state. McCabe knew
McCTystol for about year. McCrystols
employment was selling lottery tickets
so far as the witness knew, and he
was also concerned with a clothing
store. McCrystol called on witness and
they walked to the court together.
McCrystol said McCabe could make
some money in the case. McCabe said
he did not want to because he did not
think he would be taken. In the even
ing McCrystol met McCabe and walked
with him from the office to McCabe's
home. McCrystol told McCabe that
he could make $500 by going on the
jury and working for a mistrial
or an acquittal Of the defendants.
McCrystol said if he (McCrystol) had
the subpoena as tales juror it would be
worth $1,000 to him. McCabe refused
the offer and said he was not that kind
of man. Soon after McCrystols in
dictment, and while in the parish pris-
on. he sent for the District Attorney and
made confession The case was given
to the jury at o'clock and the jury re-
tired. In few minutes it returned with
a verdict of guilty as charged. The rul-
ing of Judge Baker. refusing to admit the
confession of McCrystol, saves O'Malley
in this case, the only case connecting him
directly with the bribery cases. The
court will now be forced to try him no
on one Of the other charges, if at all,
and they are all cases of several years
ago. McCrystol was tried for murder
several years ago and acquitted, O'Mal
ley helping him out of the trouble.
Since then he has been O Malley's faith
full lieutenant. In the case of Charles
Granger, indicted for attempting to
bribe Al phonse Lemaire, juror in the
Hennessey case. the jury disagreed and
a mistrial was entered.

Found Guilty by the Lancaster Jury
After Twenty-Five Hours Deliberation.
LANCASTER, Wis, June Guilty of
murder in the first degree" That was
the verdict rendered this Sabbath after
noon by the jury that has tried Rose
Zoldoske for the killing of Ella Maly in
Richland Center on the Sth of January
last. The Jury came in at 20 minutes
past 2 o'clock, having been out twenty
one hours and fifty minutes. Between
l and 2 o'clock word was quietly sent TO
the Judge and court officials, who as
quietly proceeded to the red
brick temple Of justice. Judge
Clementson came into the chamber
and remarked to the attorneys that the
long delay was an indication in favor of
the defendant.
In few minutes the defendant en-
tered the room followed by her father.
She wore this time a stylish dress of
terra Gotta color, but her face showed a
night and day of awful suspense. It
was almost leaden in hue. Attorney
Bancroft whispered to her to bear up if
the jury had gone against them, for this
would not be the end, he assured her.
Then the jury came filing IN, and people
of observing qualities read the verdict
Clemenston was moved by the solem-
nifty of it all, and many were more nerv-
Gus than the remarkable woman who
was waiting to learn her fate. The clerk
of the court confessed that his nerve
completely went back on him when he
took from the hand of Foreman c. H.
Baxter the folded piece of paper, which
he recognized by the handwriting as
the verdict written by DistrictAttorney
Burnham. Then he read these words
that all were straining their ears to hear:
eve, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree"
There was a silence that made more
sitting the stufy atmosphere of the
court chamber However remarkable
has been the demeanor of the defendant
all through the trial, it was almost
supernatural when the words we're
SD oken. Such nerve in woman, guilty
or innocent, was more than extraordi-
nary She did not break down as all
were watching for her to do, but as to
the emotions beneath that stolid, leaden-
hue exterior, who could tell? When,
however, she arrived at the jail again
she did give way. For the first time
nature gave out and the girl fell to the
floor and had to be carried to her apart

Much excitement was created at St.

hotel and the other at the corner of
Ninth and Jackson streets. Walter
Dawkins, formerly a bell-boy at the

cases at the Merchants were also re-
ported They are Mary Kempton, a
chambermaid and Casper Petby. por-
ter, and were taken to the pest house.
Their cases are of the mild type. Eleven
girls at the Merchants and seven or
eight persons on Ninth Street have come
in direct contact with the afflicted per
sons. When the cases were discovered
there was not bit of vaccine in the
city, but large quantity was sent up

ICEHOuSES BURNED.
The Knickerbocker Company's Property
at Oshkosh Consumed.

OSHKOSH, Wis, June IA fire, sup
posed to have been set by tramps,
started around the Knickerbocker ice
houses this afternoon about 1880
o'clock. The houses are five in
number, and are situated on the
South Side, on Weeds Point, at
the mouth of Fox River, and
on Lake Winnebago. This point is
built of sawdust, shavings and chips
from the mills, that were formerly To-
Gated there. Everything is as dry as
finder. and it took but q few minutes to
consume the entire buildings, together
with ten Chicago q North Western
freight cars Much of the ice was also
melted. The loss to the company,
whose headquarters are in Chicago, is
between S4 600 and $4,000. The loss on
the freight cars is about 50 600 A stiff
south wind blew sparks across
the river among thousands of cars
of dry pine blocks piled in
the yards Of Thompson's saw mill,
which soon began to burn fiercely. 1t
looked as though the fire would spread
through that section Of the city in which
several factories are located, but after
several hours of fighting it was gotten
under control after nearly 1000 cords of
the blocks had burned. The loss on
these is fully 5000.

ON A RUN WAY TRAIN.
Wild Ride Down the steep Grade IL

Wild Ride Down the steep Grade Into
L'AnSe, Mich.
A Marquette dispatch of the 18th
says: "The brakes of freight train or
the D., S. S. & A. Railroad refused to
work this morning while coming down
IAnse hill. In spite Of the trainmen's
efforts to regain control of the runaway
cars the train rapidly gained speed and
plunged down the long grade
over mile at terrific
speed. There is a sharp curve in the
track Just in front of L'Anse station.
Here the flying train Jumped the track
and tore through the station buildings
The people about the station heard the
flying train coming and made their es-
cape. Engineer Con Harrington, Of this
city, stood at his post and went down
with his engine. His right leg is broken
and his right arm turned completely
around in the socket. The other train
men escaped injuries save for pain
lul bruises. Twelve cars were
piled in heap and pretty
well demolished One was loaded
and others so badly hurt that they had
to be shot. All the people of the vii
lage of L'Anse heard the shrieking
whistle and roar Of the runaway train,
but were forced to stand helpless and
see it dash to destruction. Engineer
Harrington's recovery is doubtful. The
LAnse grade is probably the steepest
between the Allegheny and the Rocky
Mountains, being nearly per cent.
Several runaways have occurred there,
out it is the only practicable way down
from the iron range to the waters of
Portage Lake and Keweenaw Bay.

A Berne, Switzerland, despatch of

dent occurred on the Muenchenstein &
Bale Railway to-day through the col
lapse of a bridge beneath a heavily
loaded excursion train. The train was
crowded with people on the way to at
tend a musical fete. Sixty. persons
were killed outright, while aun-
dreds were injured. Two engines
and the first car plunged into
the river, and all the passengers IN
the car were drowned. Two cars re-
NAMED suspended from the bridge.
All the trainmen were killed. Thireen
cars were saved. The musical fee at
Muenchenstein was abandoned as soon
as the news of the accident arrived and
hundreds of villagers hurried to the
the scene to assist in rescuing the vic
TINS. The bridge was an iron skeleton
structure, which was considered we'll
built and substantial. The only apar-
ent reason for the collapse Of the bridge
is that the train left the rails and threw
it's entire weight on one side of the
bridge"
