"It is clear, it is brought out by the evidence of thn jurors test, as affecting three of the accused, Politez, Si.'attedi and Monasterio, the jury were engaged iu deliberation four or live hours, aud on repeated ballots stood six guilty aud six not guilty. This is clearly defined in the citation of the conviction of tlm jury as to threa of the accused. It forces the conclusion thin the evidence was quite sullicient to justify the six jurors who stood resolute aud determined deter-mined for a v erdict of guilty, making it well nigh impossible to reach nny other conclusion than mistrial. Tha three accused named above were probably prob-ably unwilling actors designated by tha leaders of the conspiracy to execute the villainous part in which they had neither personal motives nor interest."

"Following this investigation it was quickly learned that talesmen had been approached in various manners, the vile work even beng carried forward iu the court room during the trial Oue favorite expression was that big monev might be made by going on the jury and doing right. There is uo doubt that such attempts were made by various parties in the service of the defensa, entertained en-tertained by some of the talesmen and scornfully rejected by others.

The List VTae Tampered "W ith, "Another class of talesman took special spe-cial care to deny any knowledge, of ihe evil work, and showed a remarkable deficiency of memory, causing us to conclude that they were silent from fear, or had been cautioned about incriminating anyone. A number of witnesses most emphatically denied having been approached or spoken to, even sfter telling il to their friends, who informed us. It is not to be questioned ques-tioned that the work wassystematically executed after careful preparation, and had to be done quickly. The necessity was imperative for a complete list of talesmen, and the grand jury knows that list of talesmen was in the ollice of O'Malley & Adams at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, February H'iml, though the trial judge had issued special orders that the list was not to be made publio or given to the counsel of eithor side until Monday. It is not shown by whose hands ihe list was secured, but enough is shown to eonlirm the secret and powerful influence of the so-called private detective agency and Counsel Adams to handle tho machinery of tho court. The evidence shows that tho lists of names were tampered with when drawn from the jury wheel and before thev reached the jury box in court. O'Malley was put in possession of the lists almost immediately after the names were drawn, and before they reached the district attorney's ollice." rowerful Influence at Work. It is further learned that in the oflice of the detective ageucy is kept a book of names and addresses of jurymen. jury-men. Out of iiOO names drawn for the February panel, thirty-two were on O'Malley's list, and later, as the men were drawn, many more names appeared ap-peared on that list. Truly the business of this enterprising detective agency was facilitated wheu thirty-two names of their selection could be drawn on a panel of 800 jurors from a wheel containing con-taining 1000 names." The report goes on to speak of tho unreliability of some of the doputy sheriffs, about court and at tho parish prison, although they were not detected in any act of a criminal nature. When the indictments against McCrystal ami Cooney were read in the courtroom in blank the fact was at once communicated communi-cated to the indicted men through some subordinate of the court. Wheu these men were arrested iu O'Malley it Adams' ollice, the deputy shetill' reported re-ported to tho court that the arrest was made on the street. Six Briber Indicted. "Sufficient evidence was offered by voluntary anil reliable witnesses to justify the indictment of six men, as follows: Thomas McCrystal and John Cooney, with D. C. O'Malley, for attempting at-tempting to bribe talesman, and Bernard Bern-ard Giaudi, Charles Granger and Fernerd Armant for attempt by each to bribe three different talesman. These parties are clearly shown to liavo been intimate with O'Malley, often in his ollice, informed of all doings, and were active workers in the jtiry-tixing busi-nwss busi-nwss generally. We are forced to the conclusion that Dominick O'Malley it chargeable with knowledge of and participating in most, if not all, of the unlawful acts in connection with that celebrated case.

"We cannot fail to refer to tho intimate inti-mate relations existing between a class of ward politicians and the prime mover in all these infamous doings. Wo have it mostly directly continued tiiut the person holding the position of inspector inspec-tor of weights and incisures was often at the ngeucy, and was seen roining to the court house with a talesman the day he was accepted as a juror. "From the beginning of the investigation investi-gation there is continuous evidence of the existence of the pernicious combination combi-nation of what is known ns O'Malley's detective agency. It advertises that nno of the ablest criminal lawyers at the bar is attorney for the agency. We know for an absolute fact that a bank account is kept and checks drawn in the name of O'Malley it Adams and Lionel Adams. Such a combination between a detective ami a prominent criminal lawyer is unheard of before in tho civilized world, and when wo contemplate con-template its possibilities for evil we stand aghast."

No Indictments Preetnteil. "It is shown in tho evidence, says tho report, that the gathering on Saturday, March 14th, embraced several thousand of the first, best and even the most law-abiding law-abiding citizens of the city. We found a general sentiment among the witnesses, wit-nesses, and aiso in our intercourse with the people, that the verdict rendered by the jury was contrary to the law and evidence, and was secured mainly through designing and unscrupulous agents employed for the special purpose pur-pose of defeating the ends of justice. At that meeting a determination was shown that the people would not submit to the surrender of their rights into the hands of midnight assassins and their powerful power-ful allies.
