STERN, THE ,yIFE-sLAYER.

STERN, THE WIFE-sLAYER.
The second day OF the Stern murder trial was
epeut in pretty mt ch the same way as the first,
attempting to sift out of Il panel Of seventy-t1ye
jurors twelve good men aud true who would not
hesitate to give the defendant the benefit Of I'LL
doubt, the burden of proof resting always upon
the State; who believed that person might be
sane at one timc aud insane at another; whose
minds were not prejudrced against the prisoner
by any newspaper accounts Of the tragedy
which they may have read. or by any CONVERSE
ton which they i,ar hnyc had with any person.
and who were perfectly free from liability TO
prejudice, either irnnl All acquaintance with amy
Of the persons Interested, down to the employees
Of the Stnte's-A1torney's Office, or with members
OF the police force. Progress during the fore
noon was vcry ta!r, and by noon four additional
jurors had been swor1, III, making eight i'll nll,
and two others hat been passed upon In tho
preliminary examination. At the n0on adjourn

case would be fairly opened by the prosecution
thereafter.
limited owin:: no doubt to the weather, but the
anticipation thut the trial would begin during
the day attracted quite crowd ~, to tho court
fnctrg the jury, generally resting his head uI'o@
his hand aud arm. He bad IL iistlcss absent
n,iadcd look about ht,. and attracted attcn-
ton whatever Ever since the beginning Of the
case he has trusted implicitly to his COUNSEL nnd
never has taken any part in The direction OF tho
case. When Mr.. Johnson has occasion to con-
suit anybody, which is rarely he consults Stern's
friend Michael Mhg,ltrc, hut Stern has as little
to say to mcguire as he has to his counsel \
casual caller ut the court would surmise FROM
MNguire's concerned air ni1d close nttcntton to
every detail uf the case, that he, and not stern,
was the person on trial. This may or may not
be Il rusc Of the defense AT all events. 1t woiilu
not bs surprising, ater in the trial. TO hcar from
the lelensc in It speech that tho gentlemen Of
the jury could not have tuiled to have noticed
thu stolid indifference OF the accused to ull that
wAs either said or done In the case-an unfailin8
sign OF mental abcrra ton.
The afternoon session was. however,, more de-
void OF interest than :hat of tho morning. nud
when court adjourned the case WAS actually
farther behind than Ut the close Of the forenoon
session, for there were probabilities ot either

sRDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, MARCH H. 1884,
SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winter 5 day
The streets were white with recent snow
And the woman'S feet with age were slow.
At the crowded crossing she waited long,
Joistled aside by the cruel throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Unhecding the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout; ;
Glad in freedom Of "SChoo, let out"
Came happy bo-S, like a flock OF sheep,
lIailing the snow, piled white and deep,
Pass the woman So old and gray,
Hasten the children Oh their way.
None offered 4 helping hand to her
So weak, 50 timid-afraid TO stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses
feet,
Should tramrlc her down in the slippery
street.
At last came out of the merry troup,
The gaycSt ladiie of all the group,
lie paused beside her, ana whispered low,
Ill help you across if you wish 10 go.
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed and 50. without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm ana strong,
Then back again 10 his friends he went,
His young heart happy, and well content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, you
know,
For all she's aged, and poor, and slow,
And some one some time may lend hand
TO help my molhcr-yOu understand:
If ever she's poor and old and gray;
Bnd her own dear boy so far away"
Somebody's Mother bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer
she SaiG
Was God be kird to that noble boy
Who is somebody's boy, and pride, and
joy"
Faint was the voice, and worn and weak,
But Heaven lists when lis chosen speak,
Angels caught the faintiuG word,
And Somebody's Mothers prayer was
heard.
