dehces of nervousness, and entered his plea
in A clear, firm tcne of voice.
The government was represented by Mr..
A. A. Birney. Milliken's counsel were
Judge John Goodc of Virginia and Mr.. ID.
E. Anthony Of New York.
Only a few minutes were occupied in
securing a jury, the first twelve men of
the regular panel being satisfactory TO
both sides.
Mr.. Birney's Opening Address.
The opening address to the jury was
made by Mr. Birney. He said that the
government would attempt to show that
Milliken, who had been acquainted with
Miss Phillips for some time preceding did
on the night i'm question forcibly enter the
Phillips house with the intent to commit
rape. Milliken, he said, called at the house
that night at an early hour and asked for
Miss Gertrude She excused herself TO him
and later The two Phillips girls, Gertrude and
Einor, retired to their rooms. The former
occupied the front room of the house and
the latter the rear room. Shortly after
midnight Judge Phillips, who was asleep
reused by the cries of his daughters Hur-
rying upstairs he at first thought that
their fears were groIndless, but later he
found that there was a man in the closet
between the two rooms.
He escaped over the trar som into the rear
room, and later was found by Mr.. Phillips
and Mr.. Mckenney on the roof of shed in
the rear of the house.
He was as much disguished as a Quick
change of clothing might accomplish: his
coat was turned inside out and his shoes
were tied together and strung ever his
shoulder Mr.. Birney claimed that more
than enough would be proved to warrant
the jury in bringing in a verdict against the
defendant.
Judge GOOde for the Defense.
In opening for the defer Sc Judge Goode
said that he wanted 1t distinctly understood
that he did not intend, nor did his client in
tend to reflect in the slightest upon tho
character of Miss Gertrude Phillips. He
would not have undertaken the defense had
it been otherwise. On the contrary, Judge
Goode said, the vindioation Of Mr. Milliken
would be the complete vindication of Miss
Phillips. The defendant had known Miss
Phillips for couple of years, and his ac-
quaintance with the young lady had gradu-
ally grown into affection, and he intended,

ater the fact that none but American
artists will take part contributing a
unique novelty. Manager Poll was de-
sirous of giving the public an opportu-
nifty to contrast bill presented entire
ly by Americans with those that We're
conspicuous for brilliant European fea-
lures. Heading the bill are the two
American Macs, who are admitted to
be the cleverest opponents of Irish
knockabout comedy on the stage. The
Macs are like cyclone broke loose
while they hold the stage, and they
keep every one laughing with their alb
surdly humorous sketch. Jules and Ell
la Garrison are likewise great funmak-
ers, though their comedy is entirely of
the neat and refined order Baby Rus
SELL who is also conspicuous on the bill,
is the tiniest and youngest speciality
artist in existence, and it is claimed
for her that she is one of the cleverest.
Other acts will be contributed by Fred
Leslies dogs, Miss Ida Russell, the
three Helstons, Tom Ripley, Mr., and
Miss Fanson, and the Marimbo Trio.
This combination, made up as it is of
some of the greatest of American vau-
deville stars, ought to give show as
good as any presented during the sea-
son at the Wonderland.
