The Malley Trial.

and the Attendance.
 The Malley trial opened yesterday at 10 & m., Judge Granger on the bench. Sheriff Byxbee had guards on duty at the doors at o'clock to prevent the overcrowding of the court room. However, there was not great rush yesterday. If there is any particular reason for this it is because the public are waiting for the court to get jury and begin the evidence taking. The door at the bridge from the building to the City Hall was looked after, among other doors, to prevent intru-- sion from that avenue. The space allotted
 to counsel, reporters and privileged specta-
 tors in front of the juGge's bench is railed
 Off. Deputy Tucker was on guard at this
 point The lawyers in the case for the State'
 State Attorney Doolittle and c. K Bush, of
 West Haven, and William H. Law, partner
 of Mir. Doolittle and for the defense, Sam
 uel F. Jones of Hartford, William 0. Case of Sim msbury, Judge Blydenburgh and Mir. T. J.
 Fox, and Blanche Douglass counsel, William B. Stoddard and Captain D. c. Dow, were all l in their places. When the doors were opened to spectators the court room was filled quiet ly without confusion. There were many. StduuluS dUOuC Lu0 uOOCS GhS0T LO bS0 GIlO
 prisoners, but who didn't seem to care about getting inside. The "A men summoned to pick jury from entered in groups from the side door. There was not room enough for
 all in the jury room and many stood back of the jury seats waiting the time when the l court should want them. Sheriff Byxbee was on duty at his desk. Deputy Higgins of f1yo 4ol a% %L1 Of Deputy Peck in the lobby and Deputy Tuck CT inside. Deputy Tucker was assigned the care of the Malleys. Deputy Higgins brought the boys down from the jail, arriving with them in good season at about half past g. They wore dark clothes. James looked little overcome or overawed at times as he gazed at the formidable body of lawyers be- fore him, and appeared rather thoughtful. Walter seemed to be perfectly under self command, calm and undismayed, and in col lected manner appeared to observe about everything that was passing in the court ! room. Blanche Douglass was evidently ar I rayed with special care for the occasion and l her toilet was rather tasteful. Her dress was a plain black silk with bead trimmings, and | black kid gloves. She had wide lace collar ! fastened with gold clasp She wore ear l rings and gold bracelets Her hat was wide one, covered with black velvet and bearing 8 heavy black ostrich feather. She threw off I black silk mantle having heavy black fur collar, and seemed to be as ] easy as if she was only passenger
 on the trip and glad of 8 change.

 SELECTING THE JURY.
 Judge Granger directed the jury to be called. Assistant Clerk Anketel called the first juror on the list, who was John Miles of Cheshire. The juror took the witness stand and was asked by State Attorney Doolittle the
 usual questions: %t Have you any conscientious scruples against capital punishment? Have you formed an opinion regarding the
 guilt or innocence of the defendants in this case
 To these the juror responded that he had
 not.
 He wss then given over to the counsel for the defendants, and Mir. Jones of Hartford took the juror in hand and submitted him to
 severe catechizing in order to draw out the
 fact whether the juror was in any way biased in his iudgneent toward his clients Then
 
 torneys for the defendants. Then Mir. Dow
 announced that the juror was accepted by Blanche Douglass. Accepted by James Nal ley, said MT. Jones' Excused by Walter Nal ley, said Mir. Case, and the witness retired. This was about the general plan of examina. ton of jurors during the remainder of the panel.
 Lorin D. Moss of Cheshire, the next juror,
 had conscientious scruples about capital
 punishment. He was excused by the court.
 Levi Doolittle, of Cheshire, was accepted by
 James Malley and excused by Blanche Doug lass.
 Cullen B. Foote, of Hamden, had not
 formed an opinion. No conscientious scru-

 was excused by the court
 Jesse Cooper, of Hamden, was next called.
 He had no conscientious scruples about capi-
 tai punishment had expressed no opinion
 regarding the guilt or the innocence of either
 of the accused. He was excused by counsel for James Malley.
