P1Trsnunu, Pa., juno 1G-ErHeHt Ortwcin, tho
murderer Of thu Aamnlett family, was arraisnod
today in tho Criminal Court for tria. Noarly all
day was consumed in getting s jury. Tile pris-
oner, when brought into Cour:, appeared unco1l-
ceruod. The plea OF emotional inpalnty will bo
used for hin defense. Tho prisoner sinco lis
confinement has forgotten entiroly how to apoa!t
English, which seems queer, since ho cotversed
quite iluently in that language whon confined in
tue Allegheny Station. lis trial will consume
several days. Tho courtroom was crowded to
oxeogs during tho proceedings.
