CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, March o.
Special. The preliminary scenes in the
second trial OF Captain Thomas 4. Good
man for tne killing OF Colonel II. G..
Parsons occurred m the County Court
house to-day. Thc building was crowded
when. ut 30 O'Clock. Judge White took his
sent on tine bench. The bar was packed
>,Ifb LAWYERS and leading citizens. the
ai.lrs and approaches 10 bench and bar
were couScsted. and the galleries filed
10 oIeruOWug with dusky wards OF
Tho nation" The asscmblagc was un-
common. bat the incidents were OF the
regulation order. There were the usual
delays. durmg which the people patiently
awaited developments.
rHH PRISONER AND HIS FAMILY.
Captain Goodman entered, accompanied
b. Mrs Goodman and three of their
Children daughter of seventeen, VINO
cat behind her parents, ana two little
tots. ono OF whom sat at Mrs. Good
mans lcft and the other and smaller
FOUND 20 happy retreat on his fathers
knee and was wholly unconscious Of
the Significance of the scene or the
serious possibilities which made his
fathers face very grave indeed. How
ever dark the shadow that fell athwart
this unhappy family group, baby did
not SEQ &c..
CAPTAIN GOODMAN's BEABfNG.
Captain Goodman seemed unconscious
OF the eyes that from every part of the
old courtroom were bent I'm close scruti-
uy upon his face. Indeed. his whole
consciousness seemed monOpoized by his
unhappy situation. His bearing seemed
10 show that. and nothing of listessness.
Callousness, Indifference, or pretence of
Indifference. Mrs. GOOdman's manner
was quiet and serious. During the tedi-
Gus wait for the appearance Of counsel
she frequently addressed her husband.
Her face is prcpossessiug, and if ] do not
misroad IT, is that OF a woman Of much
courage aud strong self-control.
THF ATTORNEYS ARRIVE.
The attorneys for the defence and
those for tho Commonwealth entered
at intervals. Colonel Parrish and Judge
Anderson, though strangers TO the crowd.
were soon singled out. They qualified TO
practice in this court Mr.. Craig, of
the prosecution, was a little late. OF
course Captain Woods, representing the
Commonwealth, and Judge Duke, for the
prisoner, were promptly on hand.
1HE FIRST MOTION
The first motion was made by Captain
Woods. but i'm so low a voice that its
purport was not understood at the mo-
meut. II proved TO be for the entering
Of an OrSoc DOL uufyng the record of the
first trial Crhc copy of This record-a
volume. typewriter. about the size of a |
bound volume OF the Cor gressional Rec
ord lay ou the Judges desk) The de- |
fence objected TO the terms Of the order |
W hich had been drawn By Captain Woods, |
and to give time for amending IL and |
Tor the arrival of Witnesses a recess until |
. o'clock was taken, with little hope, how
ever that much would be accomplished |
to-day.
a JURY QUICKLY ENPANELLVD.
When court re-asscmbled it soon be- |
came apparent that there would be lit |
Tie liHculty in securing sixteen qualified !
jurors Some of the Vcnircmen had read |
the trial without distinct impression as |
to th. Guilt or innocence of the accused, |
others had received very distinct i'm |
pressions which had vanished with the !
cphemeral sheets iu which they had read !
them. but strange to say by far The
larger number had not read line on the
subject aud were regarded as ideal
jurors.
