'SilaS' whenever he wanted food. l was
very proud to have him call me by

ringing of a bell like supper bell.
Two of them had turned in towards the
window, but as they attempted to APP
proach it, it seemed TO draw back into
the heart of the woods. After walking
toward il for a considerable distance it
seemed to them no nearer, and they had
become alarmed, and suddenly turned
and fled, believing it to be a ghost.
One traveller, who had entered the road
at dusk, had never been heard of again.
after these events, any one who saw
the window at night took to his heels,
and at last few persons would go
through the woods after dark. except in
carriage or in company. No one rid
ing in a carriage hadever seen the myS-
FERROUS window, but one man riding
there alone had been attacked by an un-
known person, and robbed. The Ded-

The Dedham woods used to be a

COUGHLIN TRIAL.
Crooked Jurors Discharged and

Court Clerk Suspended.
CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-Two jurors in the
Coughlin trial were dismissed On the
grounds that each had served on a iury
within year. After the dismissal of
the jurors the court announced an ad-
journment until Friday, for the purpose
of securing two new jurymen. Clerk
Jerry Flynn, of the criminal court, who
has been suspected of completely in the
irregular proceedings by which Gates
and Wilson were put on the jury, has
been suspended pending an investiga-
ton. 1t was rumored today that the
prosecution has rec0nsidered its inteu-
ton. and will take proceedings against
Juror Wilson. A story was current
today that the investigation had mar
rOwed down so that three prominent
politicians were as good as accused of
having inspired the attempt to corrupt
the jury. Proof of this was alleged to
be III the possession of States ATTORNEY
Kern.
The rejection of Jurors Gates and
Wilson rates the question of the compe-
teney of the remainder of the jury.

two outsiders for five days. 1t is assert
