Jury room, where waiting crowds are

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Very wearisome was the session of
court yesterday afternoon. 1t was a
perplexing, ceaseless babbling of mix.
ed up testimony, that confounded the
spectators, tired the....jury men and
called for thesexercise of patience on
the part.of the::court.
The case of Lafayette Elmer, admin
istrator against Martha A. Sheppard,
ct. al, dragged on. until. about three
O'Clock in thelsafternoop. The testi.
mony exhibited large sized family
quarrel. 1t was hunt for money
claimed to be possessed by one party,
which was vehemently denied. There
was a iconglomeration of testimony
about notes, loans, interest, &C., which
Is Of great interest to the parties con-
nected.with the suit, but of no earthly
interest to anybody else.
At three thirty o'clock the case: was
finished as.tar as the testimony was
concerned. The counsel was about to
sum up the matter when the court In.
tervened.
He ordered the counsel to wait until
morning when they should sum up the
case. The counsel agreed, and the
jury was excused until morning.
TIA jury was drawn then for 1.-THE case
of Charles Bosio, VS.. Samuel We'll, ct
ais, trading &C., in attachment In con-
tract, Richard Starr, of Camden, ap-
peared for the defendants, while Chas
X. Lands, Jr., appeared for the plain
tiffs. After the jury had been sworn,
all other persons we're discharged until
next Tuesday week, and 1t was stated
that there would be no court next
week owing to the protracted session
of the grand jury, and the large
amount of criminal business on hand.
The case last called had once before
been tried In this Court, and resulted
In disagreement by the jury.
Bosio wants 800 from the defend
ants for the manufacture of shirts for
the defendants.
The defendants have a large place
In Philadelphia, while Bosio manufac-
tured goods for the firm in Philadel-
phia. The defendants claim that Bosio
was really In their debt from the fact
that they supplied him with tools, cot
ton, etc., at his request for which he
bad never settled. Bosio was also
charged with goods that had never
been returned to the Philadelphia
firm.
Of course Bosio denied all these
charges, and the case became one for
the jury to determine.
After the hour of adjournment and
the jurymen in the Basic case had
been excused, special panel of forty
eight names was drawn by Sheriff
Shinn, and from this number will be
selected the twelve men who will say
to Louis Feighl, the Vineland mur-
derer, give up your life for your crime,
or be incarcerated for long time in
State Prison, or go free, you are not
guilty.
All the names OF the jurymen wer
placed In the box, fifty four In all.
From this number will be drawn
forty-eight, A certified copy of these
names will be made by the County
Clerk, and served upon the defendent
or upon his counsel, and one upon the
Prosecutor.
Judge Reed has fixed the date of
the trial for May 2lst, two weeks from
next Monday. Judge Reed, of course,
will be here to hear the case. II will
be decidedly interesting case, and by
many 1t Is believed that the Prose
cutor will show state of facts which
will conclusively prove that the man
is guilty beyond any doubt. On the
other hand W. Berault, counsel for
Feighl declares he will put up splen-
did defense, and 1t Is quite likely that
insanity may have something to do
with 1t.
FRIDAY MoRNIN
When Court convened this morning
the Basic jury was called by the clerk,

case was begun
