Tho DlfHcnIt Task of Securing
Jury of Men to Convict a Woman
Now in Progress = Mrs. Schmidt
viii Be Tried First-Brief Rcsume
Chester's Mysterious Murder Case.
MEDIA. Pa. March 24.-The trial Of
Henry f. Schmidt and Caroline, his
wife, charged with the murder Of
Emma Pftzenmeyer, Mrs. Schmidts
maiden sister, in Chester, on the night
Of Dec. last. began in the court house
here yesterday. Judge Waddell, Of
West Chester, is presiding. Ev cry seat
in the court room was filled when Judge
Waddell took his seat on the bench, and
the aisles were full Of people standing.
II was after II o'clock when Henry
Schmidt and his wife were led into
court by Sheriff Howard and his dep
uty. Mrs. Schmidt was heavily veiled,
and was accompanied by her sister, Mrs.
Otto Walther, and two other lady
friends from Chester. She removed
her veil at once on taking her seat, and
smiled and shook hands with her coun-
sel. She was very pale and nervous at
frst, but after sitting a few minutes
grew calm and then talked with her
Bister. Henry Schmidt took seat next
10 his wife, and sat pale and silent
through the long and tedious calling
and challenging of the jury.
Tho Woman to be Tried First.
The counsel for the defense, w. d.
Broomalf, o. B. Dickinson, Garnett
Pendleton and Perry M. Washabaugh,
were all present. Lawyer W.. B.
Broomall asked for n severance Of the
indictments and that Henry F. Schmidt
and Caroline Schmidt be tried separ-
ately. District Attorney Hannum
made no objection to the motion and
the court granted the request. The
district attorney sand he would try the
indictment against Caroline Schmidt
first. The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Hard Work to Get a Jury.
The work of getting jury to try
Mrs. Schmidt is proving difficult and
tedious task. The majority of those
called said they had formed an opinion,
md were challenged by the counsel for
the defense for cause. Very few were
of the belief that their opinion could be
changed by evidence. Two jurors, who
had formed no opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of'the accused, expressed
themselves as having conscientious
scruples against capital punishment in
case of the kind on trial At 8 o'clock
the court adjourned, after three hours
effort in the attempt to get jury. Only
three men were in the box. Richard
Powers, Of Chester, was the first man
that seemed to suit both sides, and has
the first seat, and will be foreman of
the twelve men who will try the case.
Reese 7, Coburu, of Chester township,
and Elisha Moore were the second and
third jurors chosen. The work of So
iecting jury is heing continued today.

By the time the land has been thoroughly

Apples for Animals.

Apples of any kind, ripe and sound, are
much liked by all animals. A horse will
come across 10 acre field for an apple,
while COW or pig will be equally pleased.
Sour apples are NO less nutritious than
sweet ones. 1t is an error to suppose that
acids are not useful M food. Some, as the
ciiric and malic acid of fruits and the lac
tic acids of vegetables, are indispensable to
health, end that common disease of sailors,
scurvy, is caused by want of those vegeta
BILE acids, and Is cured by them. Other
animal diseases caused by accumulation of
alkaline matter in the blood, chiefly soda
and lime; are prevented by using fruits
which all conta IL acids; and, rs whatever
contributes to health, hastens the fatten-
ing process, or the yield of milk, sound
ripe apples are useful for fattening pigs
and for mich COWS. Beng easily and
digestible, as roots also are,
there is no need to cook apples, but pota-
toes differ in this respect and are better
cooked than raw. Sound teeth are not
injur' d by the acid OF apples. Apples
may we'll be grown as feeding crop for
their usefulness. York Tribune.
