of OueetIsbury

LONDON, March 25.-In the Old Bailey

charging the grand jury, referred to the
libel proceedings instituted by Oscar Wilde

in so doing it constituted d libel. More.
over, the Recorder added, the defendant
intended to plead justification as his de-
tense. The grand jury eventually returned

A JURY BRIBER'S RUSE

Feigning Insanity

Feigning Insanity
SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-William
J. Hurley. the ex-policeman who is
charged with attempting to bride a men,
Der of the jury which recently tried
Dick" Mcdonald, the bank wrecker,
created scene when his trial began in
the Superior Court this morning. Hurley
denounced Judge Wallace for refusing to
grant him a continuance, and his own
lawyers. whom he charged with being
against him and who had, he alleged, at
tempted to eXtort confession of guilt
from him. For several days Hurley has
been feigning insanity. Last week jury
of doctors declared he was only shamming
insanity.
After a jury had been secured and the
trial of the case actually begun Hurley
created genuine sens ation. Against the
advice of his counsel he went on the wit
ness stand and made clean breast of his
connection with the attempt to bride
jurors. He implicated Deputy Sheriff
Rock, who was under suspicion at the
time of Hurley's arrest, and also Harry
Piper, Chief Deputy County Clerk.
Hurley swore H. Mcdonald had offered
him $500 for each Juror that he could get to
vote for ac1uittal. He then went to
Deputy Sheriff Rock, he said, and they
agreed to manage the Job together, Rock
by Hurley. Hurley declared that Liver
nash, Mcdonald S attorney, had told the
whole truth about the matter, but des-
pite Lvernash's assertions to the contrary
he insisted that Mcdonald had promised
him $500 for each juror.
4 A Juror asked Hurley whether he had
ever been in the jury bribing business be-
fore. Hurley, it will be remembe was
the one juror who stood out for acquittal
on the trial for Actor Curtis for the muir
der of Policeman Grant. .rt
Never in my liie." was Hurley S reply.
People thought that I was because
stood out for acquittal in the Curtis case
but that was all wrong. Harry Piper Of
fered me $4,000 for holding out but never
got a cent"
This ended Hurley's testimony.

From the official report of the govern
ment weather bureau, published in an
other column. it would appear that the
disastrous effects of the cold snaps in
Florida in December and January were
understated rather than exaggerated.
Not only we're all the oranges on the trees
frozen or badly frost bitten, rendering
them unfit for market, but all the young
trees were killed, and even the older trees
were killed down to the larger branches.
In fact it is stated that it will be impos-
81 BILE to estimate the full amount of the
damage done until the close of the next
season, when comparison can be made
with the yield Of the preceding seasons.
There is no question but what the citrus
fruit industry of Florida has received a
blow from which it will take it years to
recover.

who served as volunteer in
the Mexican war. and was made to
return to the Government a certain
amount which he had received as lon
gevity ration allowance, and in which
action the Comptroller was sustained by

the Court of Claims and decided, in it's
opinion by Justice Brown, that according
to the act of March; 2 1865, voluntary
service was to be included in fixing lon
gevity pay.
