THE THORN TRIAL.
Seven Jurors Accepted and the Trial Will
Proceed

Long Island City, n. j., Nov. 90
Seven jurors were accepted this aftt rnoon
to try Thorn, the accused murderer of
Guldensnppe. Lawyer Howe appeared
very prodigal in his peremptory chal-
lenges. The Jurors chose were Tho pnas
Morse, carpenter; Jacob M Weeks, fla, :
mer; George Cox, stone mason; VIM, w.
Hatfield, carpenter; Wellington Germond,
builder; John 5. Dolon, farmer, and
Louis Fisher carpenter
The court then adjourned until 9:3O to-
morrow morning, when the session will
resume and the remaining jurors be ac-
cepted. Thorn continues to be very ner-
vous and it is feared that he will break
down before the trial is completed. 1t
IS thought by the Jail guards that he will
attempt suicide, as his movements are
very suspicious, and he is being watched
very closely at all times very closely.

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Although we have been in business sew
enteen years, during which time we have
handled nearly all the leading makes OF
pianos, We have neve" had as fine and as
complete line of inst: uments as we are
exhibiting now. We have the largest
stock of pianos, we suppose, that was
ever shown in Roanoke, consisting of Sc
veral grades, from the highest to the me-
dunn. We do not carry the cheapest. hay
ing by experience learned that it does not
pay in the end. We buy in large guam
titles for two houses, Roanoke and
Lynchburg, and are therefore buying
cheaper by from $50 to $40 than ever be-
fore in the long history of our house.
We are prepared, therefore, to offer
greater Inducements, both in price and
terms, than heretofore We ask all TO
call aud verify for themselves these facts.

French Went TO Station to
Make Complaint.
Said That His Revolver Had
Been Taken From Him.
Turned Out He Attempted to Shoot
Mrs. Manson and Mr.. Smith.

Emery French's face is familiar at the
state institutions from the fact that he
was at one time connected with n gang
of counterfeiters, and again because he
went into the Mctcalf building and came
out with "A lot of tools not his own.
Today he walked into the Central station
just before noon and told Captain Mat
thnwS that he bad been robbed of his gun
10y "A man named William smith. This
complaint resulted in French being locked
up, pending charge of making an AS
sault on Mrs Frederick a. Manson and
morning. Since French has had dealin gs
with the police his wife has not lived
with him and ne does not know whore
she is. Ho has an idea that Mrs Manson
knows, SO he called on hcr last evening,
but did not learn what he wanted.
At 10. 30 this morning he called again,
but she would not allow him to come in.
He pushed her aside and as he did so he
asked her 10 look at "a 3S-calibrc revolver
which ne held in his hand. just at this
time Mr.. smith, who is "A lodger with
Mrs. Manson, came into the hallway and
grabbed French. The two lnen clinched
and fell out of the doorway onto the side
walk. When he arose Mr. Smith had the
gun. French then hurried to the Central
station, where he told his tale of woe. 1t
is probable that Judge Sweetland of the
Sixth District Court will look upon
French's face again tomorrow morning
for it Is reported that he attempted TO
shoot both Mrs. Manson and Mr. Smith.
