Especial Telegram to the Globe.
+ CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-Teresa Sturla, alias
Madeline Stiles, the slayer of Charley
Stiles, was brought into the criminal
court room this morning, while the jury
for her trial was being selected and given
seat in the passage to the right of the
Judges bench. So quiet was her entrance
that it was scarcely noticed by the curious
crowd which partly filed the lower portion
of the court room, and she was conducted
back to her cell again without many of the
spectators knowing that she had been
present at all. Most of the time she sal. {
with her face partly hidden IN
a large black veil, and her !
large, dark eyes seemed more j
intent on the view of tie street, the partly
raised blind afforded, than on objects j
J the court room. She was dressed in d. ,ep
black, with gloves to match, which rea ;hed
to her elbow. A heavy black lace lantle
was wrapped around her head and Shout
ders, and white lace fchu worn bout her
neck peeped out from under it. She rested
her chin in her hand while t. 20 prelimin-
aries were being arranged. AS shell sat
| near the window, she als o took in the
longest view Of the OUTS de world that she
has had since the mur7 .er was committed

Twenty-eight youp men presented them
selves, and of these twenty -four we're ex-
cused for oy.e pretext or another.
One had served on the grand
} jury lass term. So had one or two others.
Another ,aad ship to unload; two kept
saloons and would have to lock them up
if they we're forced to sit on jury; one
was not citizen, but could not explain
how his name got on the poll book from
!, which the list of voters was taken; anoth-
. or was citizen but could not speak or
9 understand English; an alarming number
had sick wives-in fact, three-fourths OF
all of them. Some were over age and
>. some would lose their work in case they
:. were compelled to remain. In this man
d ner the panel was rapidly exhausted. A
d recess was taken at IL o'clock until 3 in
d the afternoon, when another attempt to
s. secure a jury was made. It will be con-
: tinued tomorrow.

i gaining consciousness sufficiently to tell
II where he lived, he was taken home. He is
