Brawner is in the district service
Wormley is also employed by the Dis

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

Washington, Sept 13.--The attempt
to assasslnate 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 and again it has been publish
ed that all of the Jurors are dead; that
some Of them went insane, while 9th
ers have come to untlmely ends
In some way. Guiteau. 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 in
this city.
The trial and peculiar incidents sur
rounding Gulteau's efforts to escape
the penalty of the law have all become
history, yet II will ever remain mat
ter of interest
