Especial Telegram to the Globe.
Cu1oAao, 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
a 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 sat
with her face partly hidden in
large black veil, and her
large, dark eyes seemed more
intent on the view of the street, the partly
raised blind afforded, than on objects in
the court room. She was dressed in deep
black, with gloves to match, which reached
to her elbow. A heavy black lace mantle
was wrapped around her head and Shout
ders, and white lace fchu worn about her
neck peeped out from under it. She rested
her chin in her hand while the prelimin-
aries were being arranged. AS she! sat
near the window, she also took in the
longest view Of the outside world that she
has had since the murder was committed
The pallor of her face was noticeable
Twenty eight young men presented them
selves, and of these twentJ-fo were ex-
cused for one pretext OF another.
One had served On the grand
jury last term. So had one or two others.
Another had a ship to unload; two kept
saloons and would have to lock them up
if they were 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; ancth-
er was citizen but could not speak or
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
ner the panel was rapidly exhausted. A
recess was taken at II o'clock until in
the afternoon, when another attempt to
secure jury was made. Il will be con-
tirued tomorrow.

CHICAGO, Nov 2O.-About o'clock Sun
day morning James R. Barker, employed
as purchaser for the Pullman Palace Car
| company, started to walk home to his
boarding house. He passed over the
| bridge, and was just crossing the viaduct
when he was met by three men, one of
| whom struck him on the back of the head
| with sand bag. Baker was partially
stunned, and was unable to make any re-
| sistance. The msn dragged him under
the viaduct. While they were doing this
ne regained consciousness, whereupon his
assailants beat him until he again became
insensible. They obtained a fine
| gold watch and chain, a
cameo ring and SIS in
| money. After robbing Barker the men laid
him upon the railway tracks, evidently
that he might be run over by passing
train, and their crime be hidden. Fortu-
nately he was discovered by policeman.
He was dragged Off the tracks and, re-
gaining consciousness sufficiently to tell
where he lived, he was taken home. He is
now lying at the point of death from con-
cusslon of the brain, and mis- physician
| despairs of his recovery.
