Judge Blanchard, Peter Weast. the defend
ant, was brought in by the deputy sherifis
He wore light blue overcoat of broadcloth
of the Prince Albert style; his hair was
closely cut, and his general appearance was
that of much care and study as to his toilet
Soon afterwards he arose and followed his
attorneys, Jas. w. Duncan, Geo. W. W. Blake,
T.. f. Bull and Clarence Griggs, to the jury
room for consultation. The prosecution had
for the interests Of the people, along with
States Attorney MolOney, Henry Mayo, and
A. Z. Wright. Of Streator. Near these gen.
llemen sat the brothers Of the dead man, j.
Is and A. p Parks, both Of Ottawa, Kansas.
The former is dealer in lands and live
stock, and the latter is an agent for n firm
in Burlington, Iowa Another brother, James,
is resident ofJoiet, but he was not present.
At the adjournment Of court the first day
four Jurors had been obtained A short time
previous to the adjournment the prosecuting
attorney arose and said that he wished TO
make statement; he wanted to know if a
man named Lee, Of Streator, was in the
court Lee was thereupon brought before
the Judge, when Mr.. Mooney made the fol-
lowing statement: 81 have been told that
this man on last Saturday stated in Forbes
store, in the presence of bystanders, that he
had been summoned as member of the spe'
cial jury, and that if selected as juror he
would remain out forever before he brought
in verdict of guilty. He stated that he
would see the other jurors, and that Mr..
Duncan wanted him on the jury and Moloney
did not. Such man, your Honor, should
be severely reprimanded." The attorney
here read an affidavit from Marshal Maher,
who was present when Lee made the remarks
in For hes store. The attorneys here got
mixed up in an alteration in regard to the
matter, which was promptly squeched by
Judge Blanchard, who remarked that he did
not want any wrangling. Lee was permitted
to be heard and made rambling sort of
in which he said that he had taken
some liquor and didn't know what he was
saying at the time. After which he was told
to be more careful in the future, and to keep
a better guard over his actions and tongue.

Among the strangers in attendance Tues
day morning when court opened was Mrs.
Parks, wife Of the murdered man, who was
accompanied by her daughter, aged about II
years. She was dressed in deep mourning,
and her face bore the impression of much
suffering. handsome little blonde Of per-
hsps l6 came and took a seat inside the
railing, having in charge Pete Weasts little
"Nlascott," pretty black,eyed little girl
of four or FIVE, whom Pete fondled and car
ressed apparently with much paternal affec-
ton. There was John Fornof, of the
Streaior Free Press, with his sharp. clean
shaven face and pointed nose, noting the
proceedings Ed. Nattinger, of the Times,
sat at the reporters table with the dignity
of Judge on the bench, and when he went
out betimes to Mitchs or Wash II, Ines, he
would call Sumner Cullen or Dan Trainer to
take notes for him there was the intellec-
tual Teuton of the Herold, Zwanzig, who
never wore a necktie, and whose blonde,
frowsy hair stood out from his head in all
directions as though he had just got up;

quently ran riot amid the facts in the case.
The Republican, Globe and Wochsnbian we're
absent, but second hand account Of the
case, furnished them from the other papers
by means of the shears, satisfied these enter
prising fellows. BY the time for adjourning
court Tuesday evening twelve jurors were
secured, whose names are as follows: Sam
uel Patterson, Vetmillion, farmer; August
Bruell, Jr., Earl, farmer; Geo. Westgate,
Ophir, farmer; Geo, Flory, Wallace, farmer;
Geo. S. Signor, Earl, stockman; Nelson
Davis, Dayton, carpenter; t. J. Moore. Fall
River, farmer; Dan. C.. O'Kane, Ottawa,
clerk Peter Bernard, Ottawa, glass worker;
David Wylie, Ophir, farmer; d. II. Knight,
Adams, farmer, and Michael McCauley,
Groveland carpenter. This body was care
fully selected by Me srs. Moloney and Bull
for their respective sides Of the case. 1t is
not composed Of any saloon keepers and
only in few instances are there any church
members. They are an intelligent looking
body of men and fully realize the peculiar
and responsible position in which they are
placed-one which they will never be likely
to forget--for into their hands is entrusted
the life of a human being charged with one
of the highest crimes known to the laws.

Third Day

Promptly at 9 o clock the sheriff. gavel
restored order in the court room and the
third day of the murder trial was com
menced Weast, the defendant, was brought
in handcufed by two stout strapping depu-
ties, and though the law pronounces him
innocent until he is proven guilty, yet it
permits person to be frequently treated
and made public exhibition of as though
he we're a condemned criminal. Mr.. Bull
called the attention Of the sheriff to this fact
and wordy alteration ensued. IL was
noted however, that when the prisoner was
returned to the Jail for his dinner that the
handouts were not used The opening
statement was made by Mr.. Mooney on the
part of the prosecution and occupied about
an hours time. He outlined the facts in
connection with the shooting as he under
stood them, and painted the character of the
defendant Weast in very black color3. II
would be shown, he said, that it was de-
hberate murder and appealed to the jury to
not permit themselves to be swayei by MIR.
Duncan's eloquence.
After the conclusion Of Moloney's opening
statement the jury retired, and MIR. Bull
arose and stated that he desired to make q
motion to the effect that Luther Latin Mills,
who had been engaged by the prosecution
and who was present in court to assist the
prosecuting attorney, be excluded from SC
doing. lie cited numerous authorities, and
after reading oopiOusly from law books the
court cut him off by stating that he believed
the counsel for the prosecution were aoun-
dainty able to proceed with the trial. lie
had no recollection Of such point being
ever before raised during his practice at
the bar. That, as Mr.. Mills WAS not present
when the Jury was empanelled, no other
counsel would be permitted TO come IN ana
take part in the case. In conversation
with u representative Of this paper MT
Mills said that it was legal TO debar him
from taking part in the trial. Moloney SAID
hat hereafter no counsel would be allowed
by him to take part in any case in which ne
represented the people. There was consid'
cradle feeling over the exclusion OF Mr.
Mills, but he did not take it as discour'
tesy, knowing that il he was permitted 10
engage in the case il could be sent back lot
new trial should the defendant be con-
, victed. A. :. Trude. of Chicago, who was
originally retained. was unable to be pres
eni on account Of sickness, and MT. Mills
was engaged in his place, but his coming ID

Senator Duncan then stepped forward anu
took his position before the jury TO outline
the case Tor the defense. He spoke N mas

Local Industry.

At the Honolulu Planning Mill, furniture
for the offices in the new Government build
ing, "Kapuaiwa," is being made. There
are a couple of large desks, each about ff-
teen feet long by six feet deep, fitted with
shallow drawers for maps. On the desks are
to be sets of pigeon holes in nests, that by
a telescope arrangement can be made deeper
or shallower, to hold maps, plans and
sketches of surveys. There is also two sets
of deep shelving fitted with doors, for books
and charts. For the use of the Superin-
tendent of Public Works there is being
made convenient desks and drawers. This
furniture will be of white cedar fitted in the
neatest possible manner. Besides this work
the mill is engaged on various pieces of job
work. butts not employing, at this present

gray streaked with green, beyond the
crater's further wall. The reflections
from the burning lake upon the towers
and peaks OF hardened lava are marvellous
in the delicacy Of their graduation and
beauty of hue. Although the picture
blazes with vivid reds and yeIlows, u
solemn harmony of tone is preserved,
which dignifes the work. 1t is destined
for the New Orleans exhibition, and there.
as here, it will attract attention, from
artists especially, and give wings to Tsv-
ernier's reputation, which as yet is far
below his deserts.

The makay.COIonna Wedding.


Miss Eva Mackay was married recently
to Don Ferdinand julius Colon ma, Prince
OF Galatea. The ceremony was private,
and performed with pontifcal high mass
by Monsignor De Reude, Papal Nuncio,
in the Nuncio's Chapel in Rome. But
forty persons were present. The nuptial
benediction was administered by Mon
signor De Reude, who also delivered the
marriage address. The civil ceremony
marriage. which is required by the French
law, was performed yesterday, and the
witnesses to this were Doria, Prince of
Colonna, Unites Minister Morton, and
Duke De Cazes. After the celebration of
the religious rite, Mrs. Mackay, mother
of the bride, gave grand bridal reception,
which in every respect must rank with
the most magnificent festivals of French
history and reception. 1t was especially
distinguished by the quality of the guests,
among whom were included about every
person of distinction and worth in French
society. Conspicuous among these were
Count Menabrea, the italian Ambassador
to France, Count CamOnto, and Madame
Bonaparte.
