Progress is Slow in Procuring Jury 10 Try the Murderer of Garter Harrison.

Progress is Slow in Procuring a Jury 10 Try the Murderer of Carter Harrison.
 CHICAGO, Dec. Judge Brentauo's court room was filled this morning when the second day of Eugene Prendergsst's trial opened. A majority of the audience consisted of 100 special veniremen sum- moned from the business district of the South Side to be examined ss to their fit- ness to judge if Carter Harrison's slayer shall spend the rest of his life in the H. linois asylum for insane criminals or die on the gallows.
 The prosecution used it's fourth peremp, tory challenge on one of the hold-over veniremen who had appeared to be &C., ceptsble. One venireman who was excused for cause had not formed an opinion as to whether Carter Harrison was dead or alive, because he ''didn't take much stock in newspaper atories."
 When recess was taken four jurors had been sworn in.
 No more jurors were obtained at the af- ternoon session, but three veniremen were passed. The state has used seven peremp- tory challenges and the defense four. Prendergast interrupted the examination and was suppressed by the court. In questioning the veniremen the sttor- neys for the state attempted to create 6 comparison between the crime of Pren- dergast and that of Guitesu, but upon vigorous objection from the defense Judge Brentano ruled that the parallel was not proper. The slow progress made in the case during the afternoon was due chiefly to the fact that many of the veniremen were strongly prejudiced against Prender-

 Railroad-RunaW Sleigh Team
 Turned Switch and Horse Killed
 Accident at South NorWalk.
 SOUTH NoRwALK, Dec. 7.-The engine and five cars of the Pittsfeld freight bound north on the Danbury and Berk- shire division of the Consolidated rail road, ran off an open switch at Bethel late late night and were wrecked, causing an obstruction which delayed traffic until nearly 10 o'clock to-day. It is claimed that the switch which caused the accident was thrown by the running away of a horse.
 A young couple from Danbury who were out sleighing, lost control of the animal l which, craehing through the gates at the l crossing just in front of the approaching ! freight, turned the switch sufficiently to 1 throw 1t from the rails. Nobody was hurt,
 but the horse wss instantly killed. 4

 patched, and temporary side track was
 constructed around the derailed cars, ovel
 which passenger trains will run until the wreck is cleared away.

1t Was When MT. scanIan Alluded
 10 Him as a Coward for Cowardly
 Killing pr. Cronin.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-The services of four officers. and two bailiffs were required to keep back the throng that sought admis- sion to-dsy to the court room within which Daniel Coughlin is on trial for his life for eomplicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. Taking up the thread of his story from the point at which he broke oil yes terday afternoon, MT. Scanlsn alluded to the mystery surrounding the men accused and suspected. and instanced J. M. Simonds and Cooney, who fled after their part in the crime had been done, and had never since been seen by honest eyes.
 Immediately Judge Wing was on his feet with vigorous objection based upon the fact that the men named were not on trial. Counsers reference, he said, violated all the rules of practice and wiped out all the landmarks of law.
 The states attorney responded that Burke's flight could be used as evidence against Coughlin.
 The court ruled that as Simonds WAS not mentioned in the indictment any reference to his part in the conspiracy would be i'm proper.
 Mir. Scanlan then proceeded with his mar ration of the case. The speaker exeoristed the "cowsrdly asssssins, who, although four to one, dared not face their victim, but struck him down from behind" ct which Coughlin flushed and winced.
 MT. Scanlsn then announced that the case for the state had been presented se far as 1t was necessary to go at this stage, and Daniel Donohue opened for the de fense.
 In the course of his remarks MT. Dono- hue said: "This case has once been tried. What a mockery in the name of justice and law was that trial, what gigantic and ma licious efforts were made to strangle five innocent citizens to death. When we look back on that trial all the indignation of our soul and all the sadness of our heart sit In council together"
 MT. Bottume objected to any reference by counsel to the other trial and the court ruled that during this trial the previous hearings should not be in any way consid- cred, either in speech or otherwise.
 MT. Donohue continued that 1t could not be told whether CT not there was conspiracy to kill Dr. Cronin or whether or not the doctor was killed In Cook coun- ty. He severely criticised the speech of Mir. Scsnlsn, whom he characterized as bundle of "suspicions." MT. Donohue concluded his speech just before court ad- journed. Judge Wing will speak for the defence tomorrow
