The Trial of ProbSt.

A jury FOR the trial OF Probst, the murderer
OF tie Deerlng family, was empaneled yester-
day and the case was opened by Charles n
Mann, who detailed the character of the proof
which the Commonwealth is prepared to offer
connecting the prisoner with the murder OF
Christopher Deering. 1t will be shown that
Probst had been al work on the farm, and was
missing when the body of Mr.. Deering and the
other victims were found and that when
arrested he was IN the possession of Mr. Deer
ings clothes. Besides that it will be proved
that he sold other property of the murdered
man which was carried off after the murder.
Some OF this, the Commonwealth will show,
was seen with Probst on the evening of the day
the murders were committed. The counsel for
the people Will argue from the proof touching
the articles referred TO that Probst had not anV
accompllce, but that the murder of the whole
eight persons was the work of one man.
The defense Will not call any witnesses, and
all that the counsel can do is to argue against
the presumption that all the murders were
committed by the prisoner, Dasing their argu-
ment upon the fact that the prisoner, from his
arrest down 10 the time of his arraignment.
adhered TO the story OF an accomplice, admit
ting that he killed the boy Cornelius Carey but
oenylng the killing of the others. 1t was sum-
posed that the popular defense in such cases
tnat OF homlcIdai insanity, would be made, but
III is now stated that il will not, and that the
counsel will solely depend upon the assumed
want OF probability that all the murders were
committed by ProLst
Among he witnesses in attendance was Mrs
Dolan, the mother of Miss Dolan, Mr. Theouore
Mitchell: owner of the farm, several occupants
OF farms adjoining that where the murder was
committed, and two or three of the persons 10
whom Probst sold. or offered to sell articles
that he had carried off. The coroner and the
physician were also present.
There being danger yet of lvnch law the
police arran gements for protection of the pris-
oner are still carried out. Ii is thought the
trIal VIII be concluded Tomorrow.
