THE JURY WAS BOUGHT.

A Reason Given Why There Was a
 Disagreement In the Trial of Jus
 tice Sutherland.
 BROOKLYN, March 7.-Dsputy Attorney General Lamb and Jere Weinberg, who conducted the unsuccessful pros .cution of Justice Sutherland of Grsvesend, claim to have positive proof that the jury was bought. The jury was discharged because 1t could not agree. It voted nine for conviction and three for acqulttal. The deputy attorney general will take steps at oncs to have the guilty parties in dicted.
 They admit that Professor Timothy H. Roberts of Flstbush will be one of their witnesses. Professor Roberts says he was sitting in the court room on the day that the jury came in for instructions and took their seats in the box. At 6 table which could bs plainly seen by the jurors sat g young man named Kelley, @ stenographer and clerk in the office of George W. Roder- ick, McKane's lawyer. He was apparently writing heedlessly on paper before him. Professor Roberts says. however, that Kel ley wrote $500 on 0 piece of paper which he placed so that several jurors could see 1t. This piece of paper is now in the possession of R. Cousins, a clerk in the office of MT. Backus, who defended Suth- erland.
 Mir. Cousins admitted the above facts this morning. When spoken to in regard to the story MT. Roderick said that he could deny emphstically that any of the clerks in his office had anything to do with the Sutherland trial. He said there was no clerk in his office of the nane given by Professor Roberts.

 BRIDGEPORT, March "A discovery that has caused . small sensation in this city was made today. The records of the local postoface for the last twenty years arc not to be found. Elias Stewart, who wss re- gently appointed the successor to Post master Knowlton, who held the office for sixteen years, cannot find the records for the time stated, and inquiry was to-day made of the ex- postmaster regarding their wheresborts. Postmaster Knowlton told the new postmaster that the records for tbst time were his own private property, and he Hatly refused to deliver them up to his successor.

The matter will b, brought to the attention of the postmaster general at Washington.
