JUROR NOW I'LL
IN GREENE CASE
If He Continues Sick the Cele-
brated Case May Have to Go
Over for Another Trial.

SAVANNAH. GA, January 90
Nearly three weeks have been consumed
In the trial of the Greene and Gaynor
case, and now all the work and ex-
penses involved threatens to go for
naught. because of the illness OF one
of the Jurors. This morning the ses-
sion had to be cut short because of the
indisposition, and 1t remains for to-
morrow to show whether he will have
sufficiently recovered to admit of the
trial proceeding.
Should It happen that the juror Is
not well enough to attend court 1t is
probable that the case will be continued
from day to day. Then should 1t be
found that his Illness. threatened to be
OF long duration. Judge Speer would
direct mlstrlal unless the attorneys
engaged should elect to leave the case
In the hands OF the eleven jurors.
The short session to-day was taken up
in the further Identification and intro
duction as evidence OF number OF let
ters written principally by Captain o.
NJ. Carter and found in the file case he
kept for his individual papers. Thus far
all Of the documentary evidence has
come from this file case.
Judge Speer decided to-day that tele-
grams and letters relating to charges
made by w. r. Curtis an inspector in
the employ Of the government under
Carter in 1883. that Greene and Gaynor
had attempted to bride Carter are adj
missible. Judge Speer also admitted let
ters which Attorney Erwin. for the prose-
cution, asserted would disproye the as
sertion OF counsel for the defense. that
Wescott. father-in-law OF Carter, had
been given an interest in contract work
at Savannah in consideration OF Wescott
securing for Greene and Gaynor large
contracts to be given out by the New
York Central. Carter. in these letters
referred to his associates who would
undertake the work with him should they
secure the contract. Judge Speer held
that they were clearly admissible as
showing that Greene and Gaynor were
in business with Carter. Other letters
intended to show that Carter was inter
ested with Greene and Gaynor in deals
in Ohio. Judge Speer would not admit
Evidence was admitted TO show that
