And Is Hardly Likely 10 Become a
 Great Actress.
 From the Buffalo Expresa1 She was a pretty girl, so far as her fea- lures went, but her face was as expression less as concrete sidewalk. She WAS wall dressed, too, and she walked into the of ics of the manager of local tkester with all the self f-sssurance of the most soubret- ty soubrette in the business.
 She looked at the man at the desk, who was reading a newspaper and smoking a cigarette, with a vacant eort of stare and said, stolidly:
 "I want to see the manager"
 "rm the manager, madam" said that worthy, politely, taking bis feet of his desk, removing his cigarette, dofing his hat and dusting of chair with his hand kerchief at one and the same time. She looked him over for a moment. that she would ask for some more butter at dinner:
 "I want to act"
 "You want whsti" asked the manager. '1 want to act"
 ''Whst fori''
 "Oh, think it's nice."
 "Wherefn

MAYOR HaRRIsoN,s MURDERER

l The Trial of Prendergast Opened Yesterday With Examination of veniremen-The Line of Prosecu- ton and Defense.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The trial of Prender-
 gast for the murder of Mayor Carter Har-
 rison was begun before Judge Brentsno
 here to-day. The court room and its 3D.
 breaches were guarded by a strong forcs of
 police, deputy sheriffs and bailiffs, who allowed only persons having business to
 pass. This prevented any demonstration. R. A. Wade, Robert Essex, John P. Mo- Goorty and John Heron appeared as coun- sel for the murderer.
 States Attorney Herman and Assistant States Attorney Todd appeared for the prosecution. States Attorney Herman an- nounced that he desired the record to show that Alfred s. Trude appeared as counsel to assist the state. MT. Trude holds a foremost rank among Chicago's successful criminal lawyers. He was an intimate friend of the murdered mayor.
 The court then ordered a jury to be called and the examination of talesmen was commenced. The line of inquiry on behalf of the state showed that the inten- tion was to get 6 jury which could believe Prendergsst crank and yet be responsible for his deed, knowing the difference be- tween right and wrong. The states sttor- ney's questions also indicated that the in- fiction of the death penalty would be asked for if Prendergast was judged to be guilty of murder beyond 8 reasonable doubt. The talesmen's answers in relation to the defendants plea of insanity showed that nearly all had made up their minds that Prendergast should be hanged.
 The line of examination of the defence was mostly confined to inquiry If the tales. men had any prejudice against evidence tending to show Prendergsst was insane and also as to whether the men summoned considered the murder of Harrison graver crime than the killing of any other man. While acceptable veniremen were being ex- amined Prendergast became restless and said: 'I object to being tried by any jury except those who consider me sane"
 A few minutes later a venireman was asked if he had any objection to serving, after being told that the state would ask for the inf1iction of the death penalty, and said he had not. Prendergast jumped up and exclaimed: "I object to that, your honor. It is 8 presumption that am guilty already-the fact that he holds that opinion"
 Neither judge nor lawyers took any mo- tice of tine interruption. The examination of another venireman, who was excused for cause, led to the discovery that he would make a material witness for the prosecution. It developed during the day that the defence does not even concede that Prendergast killed Carter Harrison, in order to preserve its plea of not guilty in- tact. When court adjourned two venire- men had been passed by both sides. It is thought jury will be secured in few days
