ESPECIAL rrLresAn 10 THE prsrAroH.,


CHICAGO, September THE seemingly
1nterminable task of securing jury to try
Coughlin, O'Sullivan, Burke, Beggs and
Kunz for the murder of DIR. Patrick
Cronin was resumed this morning. After
tive hours Of tedious examination Of tales
men, court adjourned until Monday morn
ing. Young George Creighton is still held
as possible juror. His companion for
Sunday is o. G. Simmonds, merchant Of
Ravenswood, who was the last man of the
sixth venire, and who was passed by the
State just as the hands of the clock marked
the hour of adjournment.
The seventh venire was issued in the az
ternoon, and by 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing the waiting room will be filed with men
with fixed opinions and conscientious
scruples. Long-hsired Senator Kennedy, of
Wisconsin, who was retained by somebody
to defend Martin Burke, is still missing.

A THEATRICAL GRAFTON.

In the absence Of the lawmaker Mr.. For
rest got q chance to make one of his theatri-
cal orations. Itwas late in the afternoon
and the spectators were almost overcome by
the soporifc influence Of the sepulchraf
voice Of Mr.. Wing, when one of the States
officers asked Mr.. Forrest who was defend
ing Burke.
The grim-looking leader of the defense
jumped out Of his chair, and, with pomp-
ous wave of his hand exclaimed. with great
emphasis on the personal pronoun: "I am
defending Mr.. Burke, and 1 shall defend
him to the end" This announcement would
seem to indicate that Burke does not intend
to turn informer. Mr.. Forrest looked very
pale after he made this declaration.
Burke, however. appeared embarrassed,
his face was crimson and he tried to laugh.
Mr.. Forrest conducted the examination of
talesmen during the morning session. His
line Of questioning differed widely from
that of Wing or Foster.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-09-08
CURIOUS QUESTIONS.

"Do you KNOW" he at one time ex-
claimed, whether the man who wrote that
article was an honest man or a discharged
theft"
Before the man could answer Judge Nc
Connell put large weight on Mr.. Forrest,
and quietly informed him that that kind of
questioning was offensive. Mr.. For
rest is slender man whose pale
face is heavily carpeted with closely
trimmed whiskers. He has a prominent
forehead. When he speaks he buries one
hand in pocket of his trousers and levels
the index finger Of his other hand at the
Court. He is always ready to talk. He
used to be school teacher.
Talesmen were excused for one cause or
another until % of them had walked out
into the street. There were four peremptory
challenges. These were evenly divided be-
tween the State and the defense. The latter
has now used up24 of its 100 challenges, while
the State has wasted just half as many.
The examination of r. j. bennett, fine
looking man from Ravenswood, aroused con-
siderable interest. With a strong voice,
which could be heard throughout the big
court room, he said, in reply to a ques-

Bald Knobbers Hanged.

OZARK, Mo-, May 10.-Three Bald
Knobbers, Dave Walker, chief of the Bald
Knobbers, his son VIM. Walker AMI John
Matthews were hanged here today at 10
o'clock, for the murder of Charles Green
and VIM. Edins, on March II. 1887. The
ropes broke and the three men fell to the
ground struggling. It was horrible
butchery. The condemned men were
carried to the scaffold again at 1910 and
again dropped. But it was again bungled
and the men hung by their necks writh-
and struggling and finally strangled to
death. Dave Walker died in Is minutes,
John Matthews in 13 and VIM. Walker in
IA minutes. VIM. Walker was baptized
last night in bath basin carried into the
Jail. The scene was affecting. John
Matthews made long prayer which
could be distinctly heard in the street
fronting the Jail. Just before leaving
the jail Matthews proclaimed his inno-
cence in loud voice. The sheriff helped
Matthews up the steps. Young Walker
followed close behind with as firm step
as eve. At the trap religious services
were held and the moose adjusted at $40.

Most Excellent,

A petition was in circulation yesterday
headed by our choice for constitutional
delegate, Chas. NJ. Webster, Esq, and
numerously signed by our prominent
citizens, with liberal amounts opposite
each name, to raise a little fund to par
TALLY recompense the Germ & Daven-
port band for their evening serenades.
1t was worthy object, and it was graft
Tying to see such prompt and apprecia-
tive response.
The music by this excellent band has
been u source of p!easurable emotions to
our citizens during the delightful spring
evenings and its enlivening strains have
cheered many a dropping or Respondent
spirit. The action of our citizens is com
mendable; but such a band, as we have
frequently intimated, should receive
some permanent municipal support. In
not few cities bands are regularly paid
during the summer months to play in the
public parks and it is deemed to he mon
ey we'll and lawfully expended.
