ers and merchants, with one banker
and real estate dealer. With hardly
an exception, one would look
among them in vain for any eviden.
ces of style in dress or attention to
the fashions of the day. There is
not tall hat or cane or pair of
creased trousers on the jury.
In fact a number OF them wear
nthat uneasy air characteristic of the
laboring man in his Sunday-go to.
meeting dress, and look as though
they would feel more at home In
their shop apron or overalls. There
are no four.in.hand neckties. They
are all of the "made-up" pattern,
easily adjusted and as perfectly
satisfactory to the wearers as self
tied scarf would be. There are
Masonic, Knights of Psthias and
other badges worn

/ Seven of the jurors wear stand.up
collars, viz: Carb srry, Green,
! Gwynne, Gator, Sheriff, Durham
and Riley. The rest, Dale, Cole,
Hertmuler, Hunt and Whyland
wear turn. downs. Six of the jury
chew tobacco, and are provided with
cuspidors S ieriff aad Green chew
gum. Allen A Dale has chew in
his right cheek that, with his thin
visage, lmakes very prominent
pro uberaace.
There is not bald headed man
ON the jury. They are mostly
young men in the thirties, or over.
l tapping in some instances the forty
line. There is one who would be
spoken of as middle aged, and only
one old man, Mr.. Cole.
i Five part their hair on the right
side, an unusual proportion, as the
rule among the men is opposite, and
with three exceptions, Dunham,
Green and Sheriff, every man wears
moustaches only, with the rest OF
his face smooth shaven.
The newspaper pictures of the
jury, given by the artists of the
Eastern papers, are exceptionally
good. In DeLipman's picture in the
New York Herald, ALMOST every
face is usually cognizable. In
fact the large corps of artists who
have become an important factor II
the newspaper reporting of thu pc
Rod, are doing better work in thi
case than ever before. OF cours,
something Of this is due to improved
methods Of production, printing
etc.
In passing, it should be said tina
in most instances justice has no
been done to Miss Pollard. Sh
lays no CAIN to beauty her OWL
mother would not claim it for her
but her pictures in the papers, as
rule, make her look much older thai
she is, and miss the refinement o
her features. A picture Of her fac
IN repose can never do her justice
The augularities are emphasized
and it is only when she is moved
by some emotion that her mobil
l features become animated and q,
tractive.
One artist caught her when sh
was smiling. 1t was during tn
reading of her girl letters to Rhodes
and, he got the only speaking like
ness of her that has been made.
A noted Kentuckian, who is dali
among the visitors of the cour
room, spoke TO the correspondent
one day, saying: "Do any of 20
notice anything peculiarly sugge'
tive abolnt, Miss Pollard's mouth
Whom does it suggest9 1t is tn
mouth of some famous person, br
l can't place it or trace the resen
blance." A day or two afterwar
he turned about suddenly, and salt
"l've got it. 1t is Henry Clay
mouth" And sure enough, eve,
one recognized the resemblan'
then. There were the lines fro
