The inability Of the Jury I'm the Mclaughlin
case to arrive at a verdict and the intlmations
made by several jurymen that one jurynan. at
least. had been suspciously stubborn were the
talk Of the town yesterday. The Tribune pub
llshel interviews with a number of the jury yes
,erday and they were decidedly severe Stein
and Burbridge especially the latter. william
Scott. of No. % West Sixty-third-st.. the eighth
juror is reported by several feow-jurymen to
have handed statement 10 justice Barrett,
which IS said to have made known to the Justice
something Of Importance concerning Burbridge.
Mr. Scott would say nothing on the subject The
charge alleged against Burbridge Is that while In
the jury-room he made the statement that he
would be n rich man inside Of "A week or be
"bustcd" Several Jurymen are sail 10 have heard
Burbrldge make the remark

Old and well built and wears a heavy grayish
mustache TIe seemed 70 be man OF intelll-

"Those tales the jurymcn telling about me
are all lies he said, cmphatically. in answer to
a question Those men nagged and picked at
mo tho whole time of the trial. and now they are
man but think ary one who knows Will
credit me with having enough sense not to make
any such silly remarks as those attributed to me.

HOT TALK ~ THE JuRY-ROoM.
About the only thing can remember that any
Of them could have taken offence at was when
they had made me lose patience by continually
threatening mo with the peniientiary. They were
all around Stein. trying L. get him - 80 over t.
them and scott said

"Of course that rather .iicd ne. and haf
seriously and haif Jol'ney said:
Don, say that or I'll throw You out of the
window.
Then Henley and Purly rushed over t. SCOTS
Side and said II anything Ike that was so'hS
on they would have hand.

itun,. they had Stein 50 scared tnat ne wnulnh
