of the judge, and at such an angle that
he can plainly see the jurors and wit
nesses. In front and to the right of Mr..
Collins sat his attorneys, A. A. GODDARD
and Charles Hayden. Mr.. GODDARD is
nearest Collins.
On the left of the defendant County
Attorney Jetmore. his deputy, Galen
Nichols, and the assistant in the prose-
cution, II. c. Stafford. occupied seats.
At 9:15 Judge Hazen called:
THE state of Kansas versus John H.
Collins. Is the state ready for triaI?"
The defendant did not stir beyond
turning his eyes to observe County At
torney Jetmore who replied, as he ad
vanced to the railing separating the
lawyers from the judges stand:
Il think the state is ready for trial.
but I desire to submit names of some
additional witnesses; correct the names
of others and endorse the same upon
the information. This is an addition
to the list of witnesses already allowed
by the court"
This will be allowed" said the court.

The jurors were then sworn. MI
Jetmore then examined them. Mr.. Her
ringtOn was first. He had no opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of the de-
fendant and thought he could try the
case without prejudice and convict only
on evidence showing absolute guilt.
Mrs. Collins Enters.
During the examination of the jurors.
Mrs. James S. Collins entered the court
room, at $50 o'clock. She was accom-
panied by her son, Grant Meade of HOr-
ton, and John Collins and wife of West
mOreland. The latter is a brother of
the late James S. Collins. The widow
Of the murdered man was attired in
black gown, and wore a heavy plush
cape, surmOunted by a fur collar. The
veil and bonnet were the habilamentS
of deep mourning. Her sister-in-law
was similarly attired and sat next to
her nephew. Then Mrs Collins the
widow sat down, next to her sister-in-
law, and Grant Meade seated himself
on the right of his mother. Mr.. Collins
of WeStmOreland sat behind his wife.
Surrounding the defendant and the
parties in interest sat the Topeka law
yerS- Just outside of the rail were three
young women. Five white women and
a half dozen colOred women sat in the
gallery. The crowd present was small
er than was expected.
Mr.. JetmOre was followed by Mr..
Hayden, who began an examination Of
Jurer Harrington. After a number Of
questions, Hayden said:
Have you an opinion whether or not
the death of James S. Collins was the
result of suicide of murder?''
When this question was propounded,a
murmur went through the crowd and
the lawyers whispered:
That's the key; Hayden and God
ard will go ahead on the suicide the
ory-''
Several people shared this opinion
but Mr.. Hayden did not give any furth-
ed intimation as to the outline of de-
fense, except to ask;
"At this time do you believe J. S. Col

Il can't exactly say" was the reply.

witness, and it would not be fair to

thought he could return an unpreju-

Paris, Nov. 28.-The joint peace COM
missions met promptly at o'clock this
afternoon and the Spanish commission
ers Immediately announced the accept
ance of the American demands.
The acceptance was made verbally.
A written acceptance will be presented
lated.
There is no denying, that the whole
European continent will bitterly resent
American acquisition of the Philippines.
This sentiment is not confined to diplo-
mats; but especially here in Paris, it is
the opinion constantly heard in the
highest French society. It is known
that high official of the French for
eign office said yesterday: 'The ap-
pearance of the Americans in eastern
waters is a disturbing factor to the
whole of Europe. Americans as is well
known, lack diplomatic manners and
will surely bring constant trouble to all
of u.s.
As to the general sentiment, Mr.. Will
liam T. Stead, who has just returned
here from a tour of France, Belgium,
Germany, Russia, Austria, Turkey and
Italy, and who has seen the highest
politicians in each country and in some
respondent of the Associated Press:
1.-The immense majority of Europeans
are of course absolutely ignorant of
what has happened. Intent upon their
daily toll, they neither know nor care
what occurs in the other hemisphere.
But Europeans who read the newspa-
pers are able to form what may be
called public opinion in the old world.
They are practically unanimous on the
matter. Outside of England, I have
not met a single non-American who
was not opposed to the expansion of
America Nor through my whole tour
of Europe have I met a European who
did not receive the protestations of the
genuine sincerity with which the Amer
leans entered upon the war with more
or less incredulity.''
Mr.. Stead reports that the bitterest
hostility of all was found at the vati-

Mrs. Collins Present Clad in

The trial of John Henry Collins for
the murder of his father commenced in
the district court at 9:15 this morning
There was a small crowd present at the
opening of the court, which first took up
the motion docket and disposed of @sev-
eral small matters, before calling the
Collins case.
When young Collins came into the
court room, a Journal reporter shook
hands with him, and inquired after his
health. He replied:
I am feeling Well"
You think you will be acquitted?"
said the reporter.
Collins eyes lighted up and as he
smiled he said blithely:
Certainly. There is no doubt Of that.
I'm not guilty"
John Collins was brought into the
court room at a few minutes before
o'clock. He wore a suit of black clothes;
a high standing collar and small black
four-in-hand tie. He also wore spec
tacles, and appeared to be in the best of
humor. He seems bouyant in spirit and
the long jail confinement has made no
visible impression upon him.
Accompanied by Sheriff Porter Cook
Collins came into the court room, walk
ing little like a man about to be tried
for murder-and that Of his father. The
young man wore a heavy ulster, double
breasted, closely buttoned, but the col
lar was not turned up. He removed
his coat and hat, then surveyed for a
moment the chairs and tables provided
for the attorneys and parties TO the
suits which We're 70 be called Up on the
motion docket by Judge Hazen.
Select a seat wherever you want it,
said the sheriff.
'Al right said Collins.
The defendant then glanced around
the court room, and sat down at the
