Mr.. Jacob Seligman, the foreman
of the jury which acquitted the pris
oners, has been released from prison
there being no charge against him
He has been expelled from the Stock
Exchange, several social clubs and the
firm of which he was a member, and
concluding that his career here wa:
en- led, left New Orleans for Cincinnati.
Mr.. Mackesey, another juror in the
case. has called upon the committee
of order to investigate the proceedings

suspicion.
The prison officials are somewhat
incensed over the ceDsure at their
failnre to make more formidable de.
fence. They say that they did not
give up the keys, and that when the
crowd broke in all the officers were
found at their posts. Had they fired
at the crowd it would have caused
the storming, and, perhaps, the des-
truction of the prison, and the sacri-
fee of many innocent lives within
and outside the Jail.
Some of the citizens who entered
the Sheriff's office yesterday had axes
and placing one in Deputy Sheriff's
hands commanded him to go along
with them and break open the doors.
He refused, saying he was a Sheriff.
THE MOB WAS REsIsTLEss
There was no accounting for the
mood the overpowering avengers
would take yesterday, so the deputy
sheriffs within the prison can not be
blamed for the lack of defensive &C.
ton. They did as sensible men
would do, and did not succumb until
the inevitable was forced upon them.
At all time they refused to give up
the KEYS until driven into corner,
when they were compelled to Even
then they did not designate the loca-
ton of any of the Italians. The pris.
oners in the yard gave this informa-
ton. In attacking Mr.. Villere on
his failure to hold the prison, it
should be known that while the exc

that the meeting was called for any
other purpose than to voice denun-

Every deputy or employe that Sheriff

deputies say that none but those
within the prison could form any
dea of the crowd that was gathered
and the number of weapons
that were visible in that mighty
Ihrong. There was that determined
Iook upon their faces that meant bus
mess, and the only surprise is that
they did not do harsher deeds.
STILL AFTER o'MALLEY.
The vigilance committee is known
to be still at work, and it is said that
to morrow will be Detective OMal-
Iey's day of reckoning. The jury will
also be attended to, but probably
through the courts, as it is proposed
to obtain the evidence in the case of
those who were bribed. One of the
Jurors is said to have confessed already

several before the verdict was an
