Murder trial of Robinson at Jacksonville stalls after days
The trial of Wm A Robinson for General Murray McConnel's murder began in Jacksonville. Only four jurors were seated from a 32-man panel by day two, delaying a verdict as readers await daily dispatches. Paris and Marseilles politics flare as Rochefort’s La Lanterne gains power. A Springfield plan seeks to preserve Lincoln documents beneath a monument. Mrs. Walker fails to secure Madrid secretary position amid Washington gatekeeping. France’s opposition strengthens the Corps Legislatif, Thiers likely defeated, liberals mostly reelected.
