rs, whose
Juror Culv r.
LougroeWr tnis
<ence with one of the Crouin jui
name he withheld, tolcl how the verdict
was reached. As surmised, Jufor John
Culver, who ppent so much of his time
during the long tvenings reading the
bible, wa9 an influential factor.
The first incident in this connection oc-
curred while the trial was in progress,
when Mrs, Conklin testified that the even
nine: Culver notified his fellow jurors that
he solemnly believed she had committed
perjury,and later Mrs. Hoertel,he thought
was a liar and Martinson, the expressman,
did not really know Burke, while tho
Carlsons were plainly telling false-
hoods. To illustrate as to the express*
'man Martinson, Mr. Culver told of a mis-
take made by the wife of his partner,
Who one day saw a man riding in a buggy
-liphotn she waa sure was Culver, when in
point of fact she was entirely mistaken.
Culver seemed to see in nearly
every witness for the state
a vindictive or purchased perjurer. He
plainly hinted it looked like a conspiracy
on the state's part. Tne matter of hav-
ing witnesses under charge of detectives,
was one of the things he thought looked
bad. He wasn't sure Dr. Cronin ever
went to the Carlson cottage, and when
-usked; /'How do you account for the
bloody trunk'?" said, "Why for all we
know a dog may have been taken in it."
The cause of Cronin's death had
not been proved, he con-
tended, And he was impressed with
the idea that Daniel Coughlin had a "good
face. When the time for balloting arrivs
«d, Culver voted for the acquittal of all
the defendants. He steadfastly declared
that Beggs particularly should »ot be
se$t to jail even for one day. The result
was a long struggle and the repeated bal*
lots ended in a compromise verdict as
announced. Farmer Pierson had voted
steadily for the execution of all five of
the defendants, and was the last man to
yield, it was ho who was holding out
toward the end, and not until an hour or
so before the verdict reached the public
did he give in to the entreaties of his
comrades. The leading thought of a
majority of the jurors other than Culver
and Pierson seemed t > be to prevent a
■disagreement Thpy apparently believed
that a mistrial was what bad been aimed
sit by the defense,
I
•aid, who based their objection* upon
two grounds. First His decision >n the
prohibition cases in Kansas, which .iWe
afterwards reversed by the supreme court.
Second. That the statement of facts lft
J udge Gresham's review of tbe appoint*
nient of receivers for the vVabash system
of - Judge. Brewer, whose order in
tue cast) Judge Gresfaam vacated, so
Ur aa it affected roads within
the limits of his circuit. It was asserted
that these things justify the suspicion
that Judge Brewer ie a friend of corpora*
lion interests as against those of the
public and that the facts, as stated in
Judge Gresham's review, warrant inves
ligation.
The friends of Judge Brewer, it is said,

It is believed, however, the nomination
will be confirmed, probably tomorrow.
Changing; th« Kul< s.
New York, Dec. 17.—At the afternoon
session the report of the committee on
playing rules was taken up. The most
important change was a provisiou to
have two umpires at each game, one
behind the bat and another in the field.
The pitcher's box is enlarged,to be six
feet by four. Tim Keefe's ball was
adopted.
At tbe evening session on the adoption
of the report of the law committee Judge
Henry Bacon was engaged as general
conncil of the league, with power to em"*
ploy the best legal talent in the various
cities. Judge Bacon was instructed to
carry on, not only a defensive but an
aggressive campaign.
The constitution and articles of agree
ment were adopted and sinned for the
clubs by their representatives on the
board of d rectors. The convention then
adjourned until March.
fhe place of meeting will be selected
by the president.
.No communication was received from
8t. Louis in relation to application for
membership and it ia likely there will be
none, as Pittsburg, the doubtful city, has
come forward with its $5000 and signed
the constitution an J articles of agreement
with the other clubs.
Treaties.
Washington, Dec. 17.—President Har
rison today transmitted to the senate the
extradition treaty with England referred
to in his message as negotiated by Secre*
tary Blaine and Sir Julian Paunceforte,
British minister. By its terms the num-
ber of extraditable offenses is largely
increased, the must important addition
being that of embezzlement. So if the
treaty be ratified Canada and the United
5Sta>es will cease to exchange this class of
undesirable residents who have hitherto
secured immunity from punishment.
The Samu<in treaty negotiated at Berlin
last spricg will not be transmitted to the
senate. .
-farneU Speak*.
London, Dec. Jl" — Parnell who is to
reply to the speech recently made by
Lord Salisbury at the conservative meet-.
|ag at Nottingham, arrmd in thit city
t^day.' ^ crowtTHras at therailway
station and he was greeted with mingled
cheers and groans. Parnell addressed
the large meeting this afternoon, tie
declared there had never had been a
movement, of such magnitude in the
-country which was so comparatively free
Jrdth^rime as the land league movement.
The object of tbe home rule movement
■wie to regenerate Ireland especially with
regard to her industrial condition. Bal-
four's plan of making railways through
the impoverished districts was a vain ex*
;wt)diture. Home rule aimed at a national
regeneration. This implied a legenera
ftion of industries, and the industrial and
•commercial spirit of the people. If home
rule was granted, it would not discourage
the rich people of England from prom
■oting industrial developments, but their
money would be judiciously and advanta-
geously employed instead of being wasted
•now.^maintain in power a government
V -of fraud and trickery. An expenuiture
of that sort would enible Ireland to get
and to keep her head above water and so
exercisc and develope qualities in her
-aeople that she would be no longer an
•exhibition for the wonder and «-corn of
all nations of the world. Parnell devot-
ed his speech tonight to the tenants lea-
gue. He said this was by far the great-
eat and most powerful, peaceable move-
ment ever organized in Ireland or any
country. Although Ireland wis tranquil
«he was not appeased She did not sub-
-xttit., but on the contrary her people's
dislike of the government waa tenfold
more intense for their experience of three
of coercion. But the country, though it
did not yield, was tranquil, or because of
the faith it had in the assurance of Glad
stone that tbe triumphant liberal party
would soon give it legitimate freedom.
Parpell would not aay it would be impose
sible te govern Ireland by mere coercion,
but Balfour's mixture of coercion
and constitutionalism would never suc-
ceed. Balfour had made several mis
takes; among these wa% he bad neglect-
ed to provide for arrears rent and for the
testitution of evicted tenants. Thia bad
led to the formation of an agrarian move
ment wblcb would sweep Balfour and
fais props away as chaff swlpt before a
whirlwind. Lf the government had noth
iflg to be ashamed of in its connection
with the Times, doubtless it would
gratify curiosity by making known the
truth abqut the mntter of the Parnell
•commission, which instead of trying him
•on a persona) indictment had tried the
Irish nation and the movements of {h
Irish party.
vr Opposing Hit Coi>tlra«tt0»j '
Washington, Dec. 17.—The executive
oeision of the senate this afternoon lasted

of weeping in the visitors cage in jail

no callers. He preserved the Bame care
