HOW uNDERwoop MADE SURE or Ills


GAME.


In order to have in his hands none but
plant tools, Judge Underwoodinstructed
his deputy marshal not TO enforce the at
tendance of parties; he wanted none that
would not be volunteers in the iniquity.
See the cunning villany in this. Under
wood was determined not to endanger the
success of his plans by having any nm
willing jurors. He had selected his men,
but they would not be trustworthy if they
were forced into service. The jury must
be perfectly willing to do the job, or the
whole plot might misearry. This makes
the conduct of those creatures who went
to Norfolk and did Underworld s bidding
even more atrocions and despicable, for it
was voluntary with them, and they could
have refused to attend. In fact. two Of
them did refuse to go-Franklm Stearns
and James E. Lipscomb, and for this one
good act they deserve much credit They
were the only two out of the whole list
who had the manliness and good sense
not to participate in this plot of Under
wood


THE JURTMRN SELECTED IN NORFOLK.
The Norfolk papers tell us that the par
ties raked up from that city to sit upon
the jury were no better than those picked
from Richmond. Speaking of them, the
Norfolk Nirginian says:


We make the declaration, the truth
of which will be atteSted by every respect
able man in this community, that so far
as the Norfolk men are concerned who
were ON that jury, more unreliable set

THE RADICALS PLOTTING FOR THE I1Fl

;, From the conspiracy of Judge Under
wood it is very plain that he is carryin:
out. in letter and spirit the programme
, arranged with ,devilish ingenuity by th
Radicals at Washington. and that AIr

enough for the purpose can be found
, It is even whispered that between
this and June an act of Congress

by ali the subtlety of demons. can attail
