TO GO TO THE APPEAL TERM I The Seal Cause Is Said to he That One of the Jurors Is a Mon-ber of an Order to Which Shaw Belongs An Unexpected Sensation. Camden, N. J., Jan. 5. The trial of Eli Shaw for the murder of his (rraml molher, Mrs. KilznlKth Zane, which began Monday, came to an abrupt and unexpected endlnjf yenterdtty when Judge Garrison announced from the bench that the trial as far aH It had proceeded would be withdrawn and a new trial would beRin In April. The only explanation the court made was that the defendant had aBked that a Juror be withdrawn, and that a con sultation with Prosecutor Jenkins and Lawyer Harry Scovel, counsel for the defendant, the court hail decided to grant the request. Edwuid Norcross, foreman of the jury, was withdrawn as a matter of form, it helns known that he was not the objectionable Juror. Neither the court nor the counsel in the case would give any explanation, but the general Impression is that the Juror objected to was Nelson V. Cox, the last man djwn. It Is said that he Is or was connected with the same lodge of the Junior Order of American Me chanics that Shaw belonged to, and which lodge had adopted resolutions evincing faith In Shaw's innocence and appropriating money for his defense. Mr. Cox subsequently stated he was not now a member of the order, and had not attended any meetings for 18 months. He believes, however, he was the juror objected to. It was also rumored In connection with the ending of the trial that some one had made a confession of the crime, exonerating Shaw of any connection with it. One jullar for a Curcus.
