EVANSTON, Wyo., Sept. H.-After
exhausting the regular panel Of "a,
and sunnonfng so talesmen, jury
has been secured in the Croker case,
and. the trial has fairly begun.
Following are the jury: G. c. L.
Goodman, John T. Whittle, George H.
Peterson, William Crompton, r. NJ.
Lewis, Alfred johnson, William
Grievess William Graham, r. B.
Harvey, George Guild, L. A. Gray and
James Farley, representing nearly
every portion of the county.
The prosecution has examined as
witnesses: William Wagstaff, Mrs.
Booth, Drs. Blackburn and Hooker,
Coroner Cashin, D. B. Rathbun and
William Lauder.
The failure Of Mr.. Booth to go home
to tea on the evening OF January 26th,
when he met his death, was told by
Mrs. Booth, and her search for him
about town alone and afterward in
company with Wagstaff. who happen
ed to be visiting the hired girl at Mrs.
Booths and the finding of the dead
body in the old barn were detailed by
her and Wagstaff without eliciting
anything not already well known to
the public. Both witnesses told how
they at once went for help to the
house of Mr.. Crocker who, with Mrs.
Crocler and Mr.. Hinchman, went with
them 20 the barn.
DR.. Blackburn's testimony is by far
the most important yet elected. He
was called as soon as the dead body
was found, and helped to take the
body home; he carefully examined the
wounds, built up the crushed skull,
composed the features and prepared
the body for burial He found three
wounds on the head, any one of which
would have caused instant death, and
a scalp wound on the back Of the head
The first blow was delivered on the
right temple with a weapon like a
heavy clawhammer, there being two
holes in the skull made at one blow,
The other wounds, he thought, were
made with the other end Of the ham
mer. On the face he foundnail prints
Of a mans hand about the nose and
mouth, as il the victim had been
seized there to prevent an cutlery. The
doctor testified these marks were
made by the right hand of a man
and the blows were dealt with the left
hand, and that the assailant, In his
opinion, was ieft-handed man, if Mr.
Booth was assaulted. as claimed Ky
the prosecution as he entered the lit
tie room where he was killed. This
testimony was mistaken and caused
q sensation, as she defendant is a
right-handed man.
DR.. Hooker testified to an examina-
ton of the wounds, also, and so did
Coroner Cashin, the testimony of the
latter. however. being very contra
dictory and uncertain
Witnesses Lauder and Rathbun tes-
tified to conversations with defendant
as to his whereabouts IN the afternoon
and evening Of the homicide. with the
probable intention of attempting to
show that different statements were
made by him at other times.
IntepeE+ in the trial is intense, and
the large court room holds but a small
part Of the people who seek to near
this remarkable trial.

STEAMER WRECKED.
TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE ON THE
PACIFIC OCEAN.
Only Twenty-sfx Passengers Saved
Names Of Those Who Met Death
Beneath the Wave.

NEW YORK, Sept IA special to
the Herald from Vancouver, B. c.,
says:
The 2,oOO-ton China steamer Cater
thun, bound from Sydney to China
with eighty-one human beings on
board, is lying many fathoms deep off
Seal Rock, near Port Stephens light
house. Only twenty-six lives were
saved. The terrible details of the
catastrophe fill many pages of the
Australian papers.
The following are the names Of the
drowned:
r. Frazer.
r. Smith.
Mrs. Matthias.
Mrs. Loring.
Miss Loring.
Neil Shannon, Liverpool, master,
W. l. Pinney, chief officer.
Harold Letter, third officer.
r. H Anderson, surgeon.
j. H. Harper, Scotland, chief en-
gineer.
w. f. Wilson, second engineer.
J. w. Adams, third engineer.
A. Wolstendholm, fourth engineer.
r. Manning, chief steward.
Forty-one Chinese.
The accident was due to currents
drifting the steamer on the rocks in
the fury and darkness of the storm.
Mrs. and Miss Loring were the wife
and daughter of the secretary Of the
Imperial Federation league. Of Aus
tralia, and were well known in San
Francisco, having been on their way
there to China.
At the coroner's inquest it was en-
phatically proved that the steamer was
being steered all right, and that the
only way to account for the vessels
striking was that some mysterious cur
rent carried her on the rocks. Follow
ing is an account of the disaster by a
surveyor, DR.. Copemann, which most
accurately and briefly details the cir
cumstances Of the disaster:
81 was returning to England by way
of China via Vancouver. AT 2 o'clock
in the morning I was shot out of the
bunk by terrible shock, which was
followed by a second one. I rushed on
deck and found the steamer listed and
rapidly sinking. An officer told me
that we had struck a rock, and that
the steamer was being washed away in
pieces"
The cargo of the steamer Cathher-
| thun was very valuable. Among the
cargo were ten thousand sovereigns.
