GETTING A JURY.
Eugene F.. West on Trial
for Murder.
Five Men of a Jury That VIII De-
eide Whether or Not He Killed
Addie K. GiImour.

Pale and anxious and bearing upon his rather
prepossessing couDtenauce the traces of his
long confinement Dr. Eugene L. West sat be-
side hts counsel In Judge Walace's court yes
terday, while endeavOrs were made to impanel
a jury TO try him for the murder OF Adde r.
GilmOur.
The circumstances surrounding the death of
the poor young dressmaker from Colusa are
unhappily too well known; the disappearance
of the GIRL last seen at DR.. Vests house, fol-
lowed by the discovery first OF The head and
then day by day the remaining portions of her
mutilated body on the different shores Of the
bay, causing the investigation which resulted
In the arrest OF West, his communal for trial
and his appearance in court yesterday at the
comm nd of the people
Sitting next TO West and holding his hand in
hers was his newly welded wife. formerly
known as Annie Slaey. She 1t was who, when
west was first arrested, flew to his side without
hesitation and insisted in sharing bis unhappy
| lot. In marrying him the new Mrs West
declared that she had earned the right
10 VISIT him in his prison, and in
other ways 10 be OF use and comfort
| to him IN his hour of trial. II was SAID by
| some that her object was TO avoid being forced
TO TESTIFY against him, but in any case her
| motives were those of affection, ana as she sat
| Dy VESTS side yesterday, apparently smiling
| ana hapny, 1t was easy to see that West APP
pleciated her devotion.
The attorneys for the defense turned up Ia
| force. j. N +. Wilson was there, assisted by
ex-Judge Robert Ferral and Myer Jacobs.
| District Attorney Barnes was assisted by
Assistant District Attorney Black 10 represent
ing The prosecution. The courtroom was we'll
| hlled, but the crowd was not what it will be
when jury has been selected and the taking
| OF testimony entered upon.
| Fully one hour had elapsed before one juror.
| Thomas kerby, was sworn in as accepted. Ali
| the tarsmen seemed to have formed an opinion
| of the case which could only be removed by
evidence. This was allowed by Judge Wallace
| TO be sufficient cause to disQualify a juror.
Eventually, when The mornings session came
| 10 a close and he panel was exhausted the fol-
lowing nve men had been accepted as jurors
Thomas Kefby, A. Shrek. Nelson Lyon, w. +.
White and Webster Jones. A new venire of
100 jurors has been ordered for this morning.

AT THE THEATERS.
A Double Bill Draws at
the Baldwin.
"The Beggar Student" Crowds the
TivoIi-The Iowa State Band
and Other Attractions.

The Baldwin was well filed last evening TO
enjoy the double bill OF Webster's "One Touch
OF Nature" and Sydney Grundy's "A Pair of
Spectacles." There was a world of matter i'll
both the pieces-as much almost In the cur
tain-raiser with one act as In Grundy'S COM
edy with three. The curtain-raiser belongs
TO theatrical life. The story is OF a prompter,
Mr.. William Penn Holder q. Il. StoddarD and
Miss Constance Belmour Julia Arthur, a
leading lady, his daughter. The prOmpter,
after long years of separation, hnds his daugh-
ter in tile leading lady, and The touch of nature
is made In a rehearsal before Mr.. Beaumont
Fletcher Edward BelD, a barrister and dra-
matte author. 1t was exQuisitely played.
Sydney Grundy's comedy, adapted from the
French of NM. Labiche and DelacOur, Is for
the most part confined TO TWO characters, so far
as the interest is commemorative. Benjamin
Goldhnch CMr j. II. StOddarD and Uncle
Gregory. his brother (Mr. E. NJ. HOlland).
GOldnnch is full of the milk of human kind
ness, generous to a fault, and doing good con-
tnually, with an Astounding faith in hnman
nature. Gregory, on the other hand, Is mlser
and lives in an atmosphere OF suspicion. On
an expedition in London TO see the waxworks
or Chrsty's Ministries Goldfnch loses his spec
tacles and Gregory has TO supply him with
a pail pair Thereafter the benevolent old
longings through Gregory's spectacles, and
the change In his sentiments, speech
and action gave the flavor to The comedy.
Both Stoddart and Holland did some remark
ably good acting in their respective parts, and
Miss May Brooklyn as Mrs. GOdfnch was ad-
mirable in her manner when meeting the
changed relations of her husband. The idea of
the piece Is not new; but the treatment OF the
different situations was simply perfect,
The orchestra under the able baton OF Mr..
August HinricbS gave In a mastery way during
the evening the menuetIo from LeoncavallO's
al Pagliacc'
Saints and Sinners" will follow next week,
and then comes the late Henry Pettifs last
play, "A WOman's Revenge"
The morning call., 1894-01-23
WHO MOVES NEXT?
Checker-Players on the
Front.
A Queer Epidemic That Has Broken
Out and Spread Over the City
Front of Late.

An epidemic OF checker playing has struck
the water front. 1t started at the Oceanic dock
and travelled north and south with great rapid
ity. 1t was quarantined at the North and
South Harbor Police stations but broke out
again In all Its violence on board OF several OF
the ships lying alongside the city docks, and
has afflicted every longshoreman at Folsom
street, and even contaminated the south end
boatmen and State employees
Little knots of interested checker-players
gather daily at the DC aDic dock, and almost
every waterfront man now carries full set OF
checkers and patent folding checker board in
his overcoat pocket. Everybody is interested
in checkers.
State Collector Isaacs played championship
game with Captain Stevenson of the British
ship GlenOgi and this started Main street.
Then Brother Osmer, who is renowned for his
ilberality in treating the press, grew morbid,
talked In incoherent whispers pf jumping"
and moving" and finally fell to drawing
squares on the level surface of his bar and
playing bis barkeeper for the drinks, using
waterfront cheese squares for "men"
Yesterday a well-known waterfront politician
was observed with map Of the Guys Congress
sional districts spread out before him while he
tried TO figure out how many wards he might
Jump during the coming primaries:
Boatman Edward Petnam Is willing to play
any man on the front for diamond ring which
Wharfnger Buckley has kindly volunteered to
donate as a first prize.
"the man who loves Charles girl" was OBJ
served during the small hours of morning TO
be driving up Market street with sailors
chest balanced on the top OF Saratoga, which
was stood on end.
"What are you doing with my lt?" said the
seaman.
MAKING a king out OF this dudes wardrobe
carrier" shouted Jerry. "The carrying OF this
Saratoga is the first move I've made toward a
dollar for week"
Chief Wharfinger Boobar was surprised on
answering the telephone the other day TO re-
ceive message something like this:
SAY Chief, I'd like to jump the steamer
Alexander from Little Main street TO Green
street, and get the schooner Maid OF Orleans
