Despite the rain yesterday the twelve
jurors were taken out for an airing in
large covered omnibus The balance of
the day was spent quietly in the room
allotted to the men. This is the large
chamber at the northeast corner on the
second floor of the City Hall. The room
is fitted Up comfortably with cots and
chairs The meals are sent in from a
neighboring restaurant. The jurors bear
up well under the confinement and II is
not believed that sickness will delay the
proceedings before the trial has ended.
Mrs. Bonine spent yesterday quietly at
the jail in the company of Matron Mar
shall. Reading and conversation enabled
the dull hours to pass rapidly, and She is
reported as being in good spirits.
