On the Jury.
Two Greenpointers Chosen to Try Mrs. PLACE for Murder.
Philip ABRAMS, 915 Manhattan avenue, and William P. McGARRY, 236 Huron
street are among the jurors drawn in the murder trial of Mrs. Martha M.
PLACE.  She was put on trial in the County Court, in Brooklyn, on Tuesday,
Judge HURD presiding, for the murder of her eighteen year-old stepdaughter,
Ida PLACE, on February 7th last, at their home, No. 598 Hancock street,
Brooklyn. The entire day from soon after 10 in the morning until 3:45
o'clock in the afternoon was occupied in getting a jury.  More than
two-thirds of the talesmen examined had conscientious scruples against the
death penalty, and undoubtedly many of the men were influenced in their
efforts to get off the jury by the fact that the defendant is a woman.  Some
of them said plainly that, while they were willing to sit in judgement in a
murder case, a man being a defendant, they did not believe any woman should
be sent to the electric chair, and therefore they had conscientious scruples
that would prevent them from being impartial jurors.

Court on Tuesday morning.  The members are:
DAVISON, Charles G., [foreman], real estate, 109 Jeroleman street.

STONEBRIDGE, George ­ violation of the liquor tax law, forty-seven days in
jail.  STONEBRIDGE was given the option of a fine of $200 or forty-seven
days.  The Judge would have given him sixty days, but he took into

liquor at Sea Cliff in violation of the liquor tax law, Edward CROMWELL, his
counsel, stated the circumstances of the violation of the law and Judge

CAMBRIDGE.  His client, he said, was serving a sentence of 25 days for
assault, and her sentence would expire in a few weeks.  All the alleged
offenses occurred at the same time.  Mrs. CAMBRIDGE's place is in Flushing.

Shot Him Dead.
Question At To Whether It Was Intentional Or Not.
An Italian Deaf and Dumb Man Arraigned ­ He Can Talk Only With His Fingers.
Guisette PEPINO, an Italian, deaf and dumb, was arraigned before Justice
SMITH in Hunter¹s Point Police Court this Monday morning on a charge of
killing Francisco BILOMETTO.
One was a junk dealer and the other is a laborer.  Both lived on Ocean
avenue, Ozone Park.
"Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked Justice SMITH of the deaf and dumb man.
The answer was a play of the fingers in deaf and dumb alphabet.
It was evident that PEPINO¹s mind could not be reached.
"Is there anyone here" asked Justice SMITH, "who talks the deaf and dumb alphabet?"
There was no answer, and the case went over to the 17th, when an interpreter
will be present.
It appears that BILOMETTO was standing against a fence on Ocean avenue,
Ozone Park on Sunday at 7:30 pm, talking to his wife, when he was suddenly
shot in the breast just over the heart, and died almost instantly.
PEPINO, the deaf and dumb man, stood on the opposite side of the way at the
time. No revolver was found on his person when arrested.
Two other persons were on the street at the time, Guiseppe ALMENO and Andrea
FRANZESO. They were in court and Justice SMITH held them in $100 each as witnesses.
One of them stated after court that he could not tell where the shot came
from. 
"Was there any quarrel between PEPINO and BILOMETTO?" was asked.
"No," was the reply.  "They were friends."
"Were the people of the neighborhood in the habit of making fun of the
dummy?"
"No, they were all kind to him."

Prisoners Sentenced.
Fourteen Law Breakers Sent Up for Various Terms by Judge MOORE.
Fourteen prisoners ­ thirteen males and one female ­ were arraigned before
County Judge Harrison S. MOORE for sentence this Friday morning.  Among the
whole lot there was not one colored person, a very unusual circumstances in
Queens County.  With the exception of four or five the prisoners were
charged with petty offenses.  In a majority of cases lawyers who had been
assigned to defend the men appeared and made appeals for the clemency of the
Court in behalf of their clients.  How much weight it had with the Judge it
is difficult to say, but none of the numerous suggestions to suspend
sentence was adopted.  The prisoners, the crimes with which they were
charged and the sentences were as follows:
