this outrage
My fellow iurymen were fully con-
vinced that Guiteau was conscious of
what he was doing when he fired the
fatal shot. Our average ages at the
time was so years, Eight of us are
still living in the district. Gates, |
think, was the youngest, and Hobbs,
who was the second Of our number
to die, was the oldest, If / mistake not.
Mr.. Prather died only q few days ago
Thomas Heinlcin aud Fred Branden-
berg have passed away. Poor Shea
ham Is in the insane asylum. His
misfortune, am sure, Is not from any
thing that has to do with the Guiteau
trial and conviction. Stewart, be
lieve, has retired from business. Gates
is employed at the Navy yard.
Brawner Is In the district service.
Wormley is also employed by the Dis
trlct government Langley has been
employed for long time in the Treas
ury department.

Nuu Il van htNNSl llAt
thing wrong with any of them yet
Like myself, they are growing old
and in few years only memory OF
us will be left"
Mr. Hamlln said in regard to his
being selected as a juror: "Of the
hundred men in the panel l was the
first one that would answer for q
juror out of l3 calls; hence l was
made foreman. The confinement was
long and arduous-over two months
in the National hotel closely guarded
by United States Marshals. Wher
Judge Cox gave us his charge ane
we retired. l don't think that we wer'
out more than an hour. Brawner reat
the indictment. We voted only twice
Eleven We're for conviction, with on'
blank, We soon found the trouble
which was explained away. The mex
vote sealed Guiteau's fate"

JURORS WHO
CONVICTED GUITEAU.
Eight Are Still Alive Notwithstanding His Curse
Upon Them.

Washington, Sept. 13.--'rhe attempt
to assassinate President Mckinley has
recalled the history of the Guiteau
trial and conviction and has suggested
the correction of reported error In
regard to the fate of the jury that
condemned the assassin to the gallows
nearly 20 years ago,
Time ana again II has been publish
ed that all of the Jurors are dead; that
some of them went insane, while 9th
ers have come to untimely ends
in some way. Gulteau, at
the time the verdict was
rendered, denounced the jury in terms
that made the cold chills run down
the back OF all in the Washington
court room at the time, but only
four of the famous jury have passed
away, The other eight are living III
this city.
The trial and peculiar incidents sur
rounding Guteau's efforts to escape
the penalty of the law have all become
history, yet II will ever remain mat
ter of interest.
Mr.. John L. Hamlin, who was fore
man OF the jury, 10 messenger to
Senator Morgan's committee in the
United States Senate, He is hale
and hearty old gentleman of over three
score and 10 years, He was seen some
days ago at his home on Morgan ave,
He said, speaking of the event in his
life; Judge Walter Cox had given
his charge to the jury and breathless
silence hung over the vast multitude
assembled In the court room TO wit
ness the closing scene In the judicial
investigation of the great national
tragedy. The verdict Of guilty was
announced, whereupon Guiteau arose
and said, pointing his finger at the
II men; My blood be upon the head
of that jury, and don't you forget it,
That is my answer, God will avenge
