that amidst the cheering which greeted the
successful horse, there was to be heard here
and there a sound, half scream, half sob, tell

The trial of Luther s. verrill and Clifton
Harris, charged with the murder of Mrs. Su-
sannah Kinsley and Miss Polly Caswell, COM
menced yesterday at a special session of the
Supreme Judicial Court for Androscoggin
County, Judge Walton presiding. Our read
ers will remember that Harris, who is a color
ed man, has confessed his guilt, and that his
statements constitutes nearly all the evidence
tending to establish Verrlls participation IN
the crime so far as the public are at present IN
formed. Harris is about twenty years oio' ana
has seen service in the United states army. AT
the time of his arrest he was hVlng Win Dir.
w. III. Keith. near the scene OF the murder
Verrill is about forty years of age, is shoe
makar opd at the time of his arrest was at
work for Mr.. Holmes of West Auburn. I'd,
Attorney General Frye and County Attor-
ney E. o. Bicknell appear for the State, and
Calvin Record and NJ. F. Ludden, Esqrs for
the prisoner. As Harris has pleaded guilty,
the jury will only have to determine the de-
gree of his crime, and Verrill will be tried
alone. We learn the following particulars in
regard to the first days proceedings: Esa "a
Mr.. Pulsifer was sworn in as photographic
reporter to the Court.
The Court announced that the south side of
the Court House would be reserved for Jurors.
At 10d0 the prisoner Verrill was brought in,
in charge OF Sheriff Parker. The prisoner was
clothed in linen duster and dark wOollen
vest and paints. He is cool and undsturbed in
manner, though paler than when first impris-
oned. .s. .
Attorney General Frye then moved that the
Court proceed to empanel jury. The names
of the forty 1.-TWO persons from whom the jury is
to be selected were then called, and all but two
responded. The Court ordered the clerk aided
by the Sheriff to put the DaInes of the jurors
into box, that they might be drawn by lot
The government has a right to one persmptory
challenge and the prisoner to ten. -'rf2& iar'
The empaneling of the jury occupied only
an hour and half. The Court then adjourn
ed till this morning to permit the jury to visit
the scene of the murder, fl. '."'' ''i
The Attorney General on Saturday notified
the counsel for the prisoners that Monday at
L IL p. NJ the bodies of the murdered women
at West Auburn, would DO exhumed. Tho ex-
hunation will occur in the presence of several
physicians of Lewiston and Auburn. It il un-
derstood that the object of this action il to de.
termine the character of the wounds on the
persons of the deceased, and to see if a hatchet
found will fit the fracture in their skulls.
