All Decline to Make Any Direct Statement Concerning the Strange Enling of the Case-Prosecutor Jenkins' Statement. Camden, Is. J., Jan. C Tho sudden nnd pensatlnnnl ending of the trial of Jll Shaw for the murder of his Brand- mother Iihb aroused the entire bar of Camden county to the highest pitch in view of the charges that have been mnde to the effect that the mistrial was ordered after evidence had heen placed n Judge Garrison's possession that some one had tampered with tho panel of -IS talesmen from whom the 12 were to bo selected to try youiiK Shaw. It is now believed that Juror Cox, who was said to belong to the same secret society as Shaw, had nothing to do with the termination of the case. On tho other hand, it is definitely stated that one of the Jurors on the panel was vis ited and was told if he should be one of the 12 drawn and would hold out against a conviction ho would receive a certain amount of money. Ex-Judge Hugg, one of the oldest Jurists in the county, said ho would en deavor to havo an early meeting of the Bar association and urge a thor ough Investigation of the charges. Judgo Garrison would neither affirm nor deny the circulated statements to the above effect. He said tho matter Was not for the public at present. Prosecutor Jenkins was absent from his ofllce most of tho day, and wlmn asked about tho matter suld: "The whole affair will be known later. I will certainly not say anything ut this time." Messrs.

C The split in the ranks of the Uepubllenn members of the house of delegates, which devel oped at Tuesday night's caucus, con tinued vesteidav. with the result that the houso was compelled to adjourn without having orgnnlzed, and there seems to be no immediate prospect ol a settlement of tho dllllculty. The trouble arises from the position as sumed by 11 ot the members of the Baltimore city delegation, who say they are in rebellion against the rule ot United States Senator Wellington, Gov ernor Iowndos and other party lend ers, and do not propose to be governed by them. 'Without the aid of seven of the seceders the Republican majority cannot elect n speaker, and with four of them the Democrats would have the number necessary unuer the constitu tion to effect an organization. The recalcitrant Republicans have a candidate for the speakership in the person of Mr. Scliaefer, a member of the Baltimore city delegation, and as yet nothing has been done to Indicate a fusion between them and the Dem ocrats.
