PETERSBURG. March 1.-The jury in the Car
penter murder trial was secured to-day, and the
prosecution made the opening statement. To
night the city is filing up with strangers from
central Illinois, who are called here out Of curl
osity to hear the evidence. Over two hundred
witnesses are here, and the case will be one of
the most celebrated in the criminal history of
Illinois. All prominent Western dailies are rep
resented by special reporters, great is the de-
mand in outside districts for news of the trial
Both sides claim to have new and important evil
dence, but the general belief is that the defend
ant did not kill his servant Miss Burns.
APPEARANCE OF THE DEFENDANT.
While an inmate of the jail at Petersburg for
week past the defendant has remained as
stolid and silent as ever. A deeper study of his
face reveals the presence Of hidden thought
Under all circumstances he is said to be man
of few words, accustomed to rely upon his own
judgment. His is countenance hard to read
intelligence sparkles from pair of gray eyes,
set benenth an overhanginG brow, the lower
lineaments being concealed in a heavy grizzly
beard; a full head of dark brown, almost black
hair, low, receding forehead large nose, ard
rather prominent under jaw complete the list of
his more striking characteristics. The face as
whole is not handsome, nor yet forbid
ding. In it there is nothing to excite
warmth or admiration. and there is nothing
about the man which appeals strongly to sym
pathy, except the few golden hairs and the in
clination to badness, beginning at the back of
the head, which suggests the possibility of fam
lily ties and bring up the images Of wife and
two grown daughters. With this apparently
cold and stern nature multitude of emotions
seem eontending for the mastery. There is a
CLEAN of light amid the gloom and doubt which
darken his resolute face. The man seems to be
chuckiing; but whyl Is it because he knows he
has been reviled and DETAINED without cause,
and that his innocence will be demonstrated. or
has he a secret, through the keeping of which he
confidently awaits acquittall Here the best
student of physiosnomy would be puzzled, for
his countenance tells no story. a large strong
and healthy man, he has carried we'll his usual
surplus of flesh through all his experiences and
hardships in jail
