sHADowING THE JURY.
Murder Trial Have Employed a De-
tecttve for Each Man.

New York, Dec. 28.-Some of the
jurors in the case of Roland B. Moli-
neuX, who is on trial for the alleged
murder of Mrs. Kate i. Adams, COM
planned to Recorder Golf about being
under the constant and almost pain
full surveillance of detectives. They
claim that ever since the selection of
the jury a detective has been assigned
to each member of the jury and this
detective has Swallowed his man with
annoying persistence. The complain
ing jurors say that they are not only
logged, but that their business
places are invaded and even the pri-
vacy of home life disturbed by the
detectives. One of the jurors said
that he and his wife were followed
by detective to a Christmas tree
festival on Christmas night. His ev-
cry movement about the tree, the
juror said, was followed by the detec-
tive. If the juror stopped to talk
with friend, the detective was there
at his elbow affecting a far-away look,
but bent on catching every word. To
have his every word and his every act
scrutinized and jotted down, the juror
said, was intolerable.
