and made things exceedingly lively for a
short time. Gleason then seized him by
the Dridle and the tail and swinging him
around several times brodght him to a
standstill, and then by repeated cracks of

the property of Colonel::To ohm Bradbury,
was then led into the circle. HIS COM
plant was excessive nervousness and a
propensity to run away. The complaint
was quickly cured by the professor and
the animal left the enclosure as docile as

police and others who have investigated
the matter arc unwilling and probably
unable to state with positiveness. The
fact remains that Mrs. Durrant, tho
mother of the young man who is accused
of numbering Minnie Williams and
Blanche Lamont. was approached recently
BY mysterious woman whose desire
was to sell something of extreme import.
ance to the safety of Theodore Durrant.
1t was intimated that at least two of the
Jurors already accepted could be infiu-
enced to vote for an acquittal. But coin
would be required to get those votes.
Mrs. Durrant not only spurned the
pffer,e but informed the attorneys for her
son and also notified the poli3e of the
nature OF the offer made to her. The
woman is: Mrs. Sarah Groges, who resides
at 5166 Leaven worth street. While she
denies having offered any jurors for sale
admits having visited Mrs. Durrant and
offering for coin to bring about the &C.
oomplishment o: something which would
be valuable for the defense of Theodore
Durrant. Mrs. Groges says she only acted
