FIXING THE JURY.
Chicago Man Tells of Smooth Scheme
That Was Worked.

A real Jury fixer" has been found In
Chicago. He doesn't deny it, but
neither does he affirm it loudly. The
"fixer" lives on the South Side and is
known as Bill to his friends-his
other name doesn't count. Originally
Bill came from North Carolina, and II
was there that he became a jury fixer
The other night, seated in the South
Side cigar store, Bill became talkative
and revealed his secret.
You fellows that talk about fixing
juries don't know all you think you
do" said Bill. Down in my state
fixed a jury once and 1 didn't use a
dollar or do anything crooked-at least
so far as l can see.
Il was doing detective work in those
days and one day a lawyer sent for me
Bill he said, I've got to defend a
fellow over in one of the hill counties
against a charge of murder and
don't know how I'm going to do it
My client and the man killed got drunk
and started for home together. Only
one reached there, and the next morn
ing the other was found shot to death
Now what can you do?'
Il told him I'd see, and then l went
up there. The county has about 5000
inhabitants, and after I'd heard all
could about the murder l could just
see the rope around that fellows
neck. Then l went out and hired
twenty picture canvassers. They were
all put on a salary and in addition
they received the commission on every
picture they sold. These men l sent
out into every town and into every
house in the county. AS sample
crayon picture they each had ar
enlargement Of a photograph of the
man accused of murder.
"Out in the hills it's not hard for a
canvasser to get a hearing, and when
these men showed their samples there
was the almost invariable exclamation
why, that's jim, that shot Joe
Speed That was the chance for my
men, and then they proceeded to get
the prospective customers version OF
the killing.
After every house in the country
had been canvassed- and, by the way
a lot Of pictures were sold-my men
reported to me the personal opinions
of every resident on the shooting.
turned them over to the lawyer. When
the case came to trial he did his work,
and saw that every man picked for
that jury had expressed an opinion
favorable to his client. And the fellow
was acquitted.
Il never felt bad over it, because ii
was a crcumstantial evidence case
anyway, but 1 got out Of the detective
business and came to Chicago. l guess,
though, that a picture canvasser
would have a hard time doing that in

DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
Board Says Disaster Was Caused
From Without.

Board Says Disaster Was Caused
| From Without.
| The United States battleship Maine,
which sank beneath the waters OF
Havana harbor in February, 1898, as
the result of an explosion, was blown
up from the outside. This was an
nounced last Friday by the naval board
which has been examining the wreck.
The finding confirms the report Of the
original investigators who made su-
perficial examination of the wreck
shortly after the disaster.
The statement given out by the navy
department is brief. Secretary Meyer
does not believe it necessary to make
any extended explanation of the
boards conclusion beyond the fiat
statement that an external explosion
was responsible for the loss Of the
warship and the lives of many men.
| The statement follows:
THE board finds that the injuries
to the bottom of the Maine were
caused by the explosion Of charge
of low form of explosives exterior to
the ship between frames % and 81,
strake B, port side. This resulted in
igniting and exploding the contents
of the six-inch reserve magazine, A
lam and contents, including a large
quantity of black powder. The more
or less complete explosion Of the con-
tents of the remaining forward mag
azine followed. The magazine eXplo-
sion resulted in the destruction Of the
vessel"
Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be a further statement
on the report of the board after it had
been considered by the president. One
member of the board was of the opin-
ion that the report never would be
published in full, but would be kept
in the confidential archives Of the
navy department. The declaration that
"a low form of explosive" was used
in the outside explosion indicates a
belief that a mine and not a dirigible
torpedo was the instrument of de-
ISlTuCllOu
This only deepens the mysterious
destruction of the Maine. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpowder to
blow in the bottom of the ship must
have weighed several hundred pounds.
To plant such mine and lay the elec-
trio connections necessary for it's dis
charge would have required the SER
vices Of a number Of men.
In the absence of more complete
information from the navy board off,
cial Washington tonight declined to
comment on the findings. Officials
and officers of the navy department
alike were silent, while members of
congress refused to venture any guess
as to the true inwardness of the re-
port. Until President Taft has had
opportunity to examine the findings It
will not be known whether any more
of the report will he made public, and
the question of whether the Maine
was lost as the result of a discharge Of
Spanish mine or was the victim of
a torpedo launched by other hands
/ will remain unsettled
