CROWDS At HARR|S's TRIAL.
Charges Of Poisoning His Bride
Presented to the Jury,
The Case Of the Prosecution Opened
and Testimony Begun.

A line Of men and women extending the
entire length OF the corridor In the
criminal Court Building clamored this
morning for admission to Part ILL.,.
OF the court Of General Sessions
TO listen to the trial OF Medical Student Car
lyle W. Harris for poisoning his young and
beautiful wife, Helen Nelson Potts, at the
Comstock School for Young Ladies' Feb.
last.
Tho jury was completed yesterday. The
interest OF the public In the trial-the most
important, District-Attorncy Nicoll says, that
has taken place In New York In thirty-two
years-was great, but only few Of the hun
dreds who attempted to get In succeeded.
when Recorder Smyth took his seat on the
bench the courtroom was crowded to its
utmost capacity. The most eager TO hear the
testimony were women, who elbowed their
way boldly through the throng Of men.
Only four women who were not connected
with the case were fortunate enough or had
"pull" enough, as one man inelegantly ex-
pressed It, to get in where they could hear
and witness the proceedings. They sat just
inside the rail OF the inclosure reserved for
lawyers.
Among the first to arrive was Mrs. Potts,
mother Of the dead girl. she was accompanied
by another woman. They sat In corner to
the right OF Recorder smyth, facing the
prisoner, who was surrounded by
his two brothers and his lawyers,
w. Travers jerome, John A. Taylor and
CHARLES +. Dawson. IIarris's devoted mother
did not occupy her accustomed seat by his
side.
over the courtroom, In a private room
several OF the girl pupils In the Comstock
school were waiting TO be called as witnesses
They preferred not to enter the courtroom.
The last Juror selected was Joseph Bell, Of
lO4 East One Hundred and Twenty ninth
street, and Albert Field, Of II West One Hun
dred and Twenty sixth street was then sub
stituted for Juror Higginson. The other
jurors are:
Samuel B. W. Mckee, foreman Benjamin
r. Strangland, Harvey q. Brown, Charles B.
Kinds, John Crane, Francis ID. jackson, Sam
uel p. Mapes, Daniel H. Heldburgh, Henry
Rudolph and Crawford Mason.
In his opening statement Assistant District
Attorney Wellman reviewed the history Of
the remarkable case at bar.
He asked for q lair, unpreJudiced verdict on
the facts he would present. and warned the
Jury against being nisled by Interruptions
Of counsel, which were usually made In such
cases to divert the thread OF the testimony,
bur, he added. he did not believe counsel In
this case would resort to such methods.

from either musical, moral or vaudeville
point OF view. 1t is the crew OF criminals and
their female accompices, who hesitate at
nothing to secure money. These constitute
the real danger In stajer's and the " Or
pheum."
That police investigation is being made OF
Buttner's and Stajer's dens has been very
evident during the last few nights EVENING
WORLD Investigators who have the outlaws
dens under constant surveillance noticed In
staJer's last night two men whose actions
plainly Indicated that they were not there for
amusement, but for business
The same men were out Saturday and Sum
day nights, and not only dropped into
StaIer's, but also paid Mr.. aombossy- Butt
ncr's " orpheum a call little later.
They quietly but firmly repealed the ad-
vances OF Gombossy's maidens, who appeared
wonderfully thirsty for persons who drink at
least every tVe minutes, and the attention
they paiu to the fat seriO-cOmic, whose voice
ranges from a buzz-saw bass to a falsetto
shrek, was plainly forced.
Perhaps they recognized in the scrio-comic
a former Coney Island queen whose admirers
last summer used to send beer over the foot
lights to her instead OF bouquets.
Last Summer the song stross's hair was
beautiful blonde, but now It Is raven black,
and 1t Is said that the climate didn't change
the color either. Even she couldn't induce
these two men to buy drink for any one but
themselves, and Mr. Gombossy grew sus-
picous and nervous.
But he couldn't put them out as they were
orderly, respectable and good producers"
Occasionally they would carelessly look
around and make mental note OF the tough
characters In the place. Mr. Gombossy's
mysterious guests were evidently police
men In disguise.
At stajer's these men pursued similar tao
tics, and stajer himself was puzzled and evi-
IDENTIFY not a little disturbed.
Last night there was only sparse attend
ance OF crooks and greater dcarth OF VIC
tins IN both places, and the investigators
were satisfied with only brief stay.

AROUND THE DESERTED DIVES.
Walthers's Den Added to the List
of Those Permanently Closed.

The dismal downpOur that saturated New
Workers who dared to go out on the streets
last night made the metropolis rather
cheerless looking city, and there were no
more gloomy and unattractiye spots In II
than the deserted dives OF New iorks retired
outlaws
The few people who were out were gener-
ally impelled by business matters that could
not well be postponed. Not many persons
voluntarily sought the streets, for 1t was no
night for sightseeing or other amusements.
Even the thugs, toughs and street brigands
kept closely under cover.
A few OF their female accomplices wandered
forth, however, and with little rivulets run
ming from their dripping umbrellas hung
about corners and In doorways, beseeching
passers-by almost piteously to drop into
their nets.
IN consequence, those outlaws who are,stili
keeping their barrooms open Tor the accom-
modatiOn principally Of the whiskey-loying
crooks who used TO feed upon their dive
annexes did much poorer business than
usual. Some of them gave up In disgust and
early as 10 O'clock.

the outlaws who kept their saloons open, but
their dive annexes closed, did very little busi-
ness over the bars, owing in large part to The
EVENING WORLDS crusade and in a certain
degree to the terribly inclement weather.
Such places were MIR. Charles Smiths, Mr..

In all these places the habitues who now
flnd business so "dead quiet" gathered In
little groups and cursed TIE EVENING
WORLD, whose active, persistant crusade has
caused such startling transformation OF the
usual night scenes along the Bowery and
other dive-infested districts.
And yet they eagerly grabbed any copies OF
THE EVENING WORLD that could be secured
and as eagerly dcvoured its contents, to learn
whet new developments had taken place In
dlve-circles as a result OF its crusade.
For the most part these light-fngered gen.
tlemen have been educated more especially
In mathematics-that is to say, In subtrac-
tion and division-rather than IN reading,
writing and spelling, and the favorite Gus

The reports which the police authorities
we're requested to make to the Excise Board
on the dives exposed by THE EVENING WORLD
In the service OF the public are almost ready
to be handed In. When they have been re-
ceived the Excise Board will resume the work
OF revoking licenses for these places.
In anticipation Of police raid last night,
very few OF the hahitues OF those places
visited the dens kept by Louis stajer and
Ignatz Buttner on the Bowery. Those OF
them who were bold enough to venture into
the dens did nor stay long, and the business
done by the rroprietors was consequently
very light.
Two policemen In citizens clothes were

oficers had been detailed to obtain evidence
against the dives and their proprletors there
seems very little reason to doubt.
The police and the attaches OF the District
Attorneys ofIice, 1t is reported, are quietly at
work on the dive cases. 10 Is evidently the
policy OF the authorities TO secure evidence OF
sort that Will render conviction certain
when the other outlaws against when intict-
ments have been found are arrested and
arraigned for trial.
With those FIRST arrested the case was dit-
ferent. The police found the places to be just
as represented in The EVENING WORLDS ex-
pose. Since the Indictments against a round
dozen OF the outlaws by the Grand Jury as a
result Of THE EVENING WORLDS crusade, the
rest OF the crew have "trimmed" so as to
avoid arrest
In conversation recently with an EVENING
WORLD reporter Police supt. William Murray
remarked; "fou can't 60 hunting dives with
BRASS bands, you know" The police have
adopted the tactics Of the outlaws them
selves, and are conducting a secret inauis-
tion into the secret lawlessness OF the dives

New York'S Population.

All the returns from the city's popu-
lation have been sent by County Clerk
McKenna to the secretary of state
with the exception of three election
districts, the figures of which are not
yet complete. The average of the
election districts is about 1920. This
will make 5000 to be added to the
total given below. The result will
show that the population is about
1895, $50, or about 10000 more than
the police census, which was taken in
September and October, 1891. Re-
ports from Albany, where the returns
of the state enumeration have been
filed, shows that New York gains
three congressman. Superintendent
Walkley has completed the census re-
turns from all the twcnty-siX wards
in Brooklyn, and the figures show the
population of Brooklyn to be 955,3l2.

The Private and the Bear.

Private Mcnamara, OF the Fourth
Cavalry, stationed in the Yosemite
National Park, got leave to 90 hunting,
and went over to Devils Gulch, the
toughest canon in the country and the
best hiding place for big game. Nc
Namara had good luck, and killed about
dozen gray squirrels, which he slung
to his belt. He had turned homeward,
and was picking his way through fallen
timber, when grizzly arose from behind
log about fifty yards away. Mcnamara
raised his carbine and fired. The bear
howled and started for him, and Nc
Namara felt in his belt for another cart
ridge, but none was there. He had fired
his last shot.
Mcnamara realized that he had to
trust to his legs to get him out of that
scrape, and he turned and ran faster than
he ever sprinted in his life. But the
bear was the better runner, and gained
rapidly. The dangling squirrels i'm
peded McNamaras action, and as he ran
he tried to get rid of them. He pulled
two loose and dropped them, and the
grizzly stopped to investigate. Bruin
found them good, and he ate them in
two gulps and resumed the chase.
Mcnamara dropped some mole squir.
rels and gained several yards. He re-
peated the trick until he had a good
lead, and then he unlocked his belt and
dropped all that were left. and when the
grizzly finished the lot Mcnamara was
out of sight across the river. and getting
his second wind for long run home.-
