SCHILLING TRIAL ON PANIC IN A STORE
Manslaughter Case Taken Up by
Judge MCGEE.
STORY OF THE CRIME CHARGED
ling-WOrk of Getting the
Jury Now in Progress.

The case Of the state against Bertha
Schllllng, the variety actress who is
charged with being implicated in the
death of Nellie Murphy, another actress,
who died from injuries received in a fight
over beer money, at the Columbia theater,
on the night of April l, was taken up for
trial before Judge McGee this morning.
The accused was indicted on the charge
of manslaughter in the first degree, and
the indictment reads that the deceased
came to her death as the result of blows
administered by Mrs. Schillings No ar
rests were made some days after the
fight, when Mrs. Murphy was found suf-
fering from her wounds in a Washington
avenue lodging house.
She was removed to the hospital, where
she died a few days afterwards in great
agony. The coroner's jury found that
death resulted from injuries administered
by Mrs. Schilling, who, with her husband,
was confined in the county Jail. Shortly
afterward the grand jury returned an in
dictment, as stated, and as no bill was re-
turned against Mr.. Schilling he was dis
charged.
The case for the state is conducted by
County Attorney Boardman and AL Smith,
and Judge w. H. Donahue appears for
Mrs. Schilling.
Judge McGee appointed w. E. Hewett
triers and the work Of securing a jury
commenced.
Interest Is shown.
Great interest is taken in the case, and
long before the hour of opening court
had arrived, the room was filled with
friends of the accused and spectators
among the number being a sprinkling OF
actresses and habitues of the resort
where the trouble took place.
Mrs. Schilling, who is about 30 years
of age, has a pleasing appearance. She
has an oval face, dark eyes and jet-black
hair, and was dressed this morning as
though for the street, wearing a black
hat, blue shirt waist and dark skirt. She
appeared in court accompanied by Mrs
Woodburn, matron at the county jail. II
she realizes the serious position in which
she is placed, she certainly did not mani
fest it in her face or actions, her bear
ing being as cool and collected as that OF
any one in the courtroom.
Three Jurors This Morning.
Up to the hour of the noon recess three
jurors had been secured, as follows:
Charles D. Hagerty, manager of the
Standard warehouse; Charles T. Ozmun.
piano dealer; Cornelius Gleason, farmer
residing in the town Of Maple Grove.
Before the recess. Judge McGee in
formed the jurors that in this case he
would depart from the usual custom, and
the members Of the jury will not be con-
fined until the case is finally submitted
In the meantime, he advised the members
that he would rely upon their honor and
integrity, and instructed them that the
case must not be discussed among them
selves or on the outside.

Building, Washington.
Washington, April 29.--The supreme
court to-day, in an opinion Of Justice
Shiras, upheld the constitutionality of the
North Dakota law relating to assessments
for improvements by municipalities.
The case decided was that of Mortimer
Webster against the city of Fargo. Under
the law the city of Fargo improved streets
on which abutted certain property be-
longing to him. He was charged pro
rata share of the cost of the improvement
on the basis of his frontage. He refused
to pay the assessment and his property
was sold as provided in the law. He con-
tested the sale on the ground that the law
was unconstitutional in that it operated
to deprive him of his property without due
process Of law and denied him equal pro-
lection of law.
The supreme court of North Dakota de-
cided in favor of the city, the only ques-
tion at issue being the constitutionality
of the law. This decision was sustained
to-day, the United States supreme court
holding that the law is valid and that
the municipality proceeded entirely within
its powers in enforcing it. Justices Har-
Ian, White and McKenna dissented.
In the case of Edward w. Speed, admin
istrator of the estate of Franklin, de-

The Priest and the Highwayman.

Rev. Anthony II. Stein, of Paterson,
y. j., by responding to sick call one
bitter cold night Il week ago, saved
one soul from destruction, besides TAX
ing consolation to a dying man. Fa-
ther Stein was attacked by man who
demanded his money or his life, and
instead of being frightened the priest
spoke to the man, telling him he was
Il priest and had no money to give up.
The WOuld-be r0bbcr was startled to
hear he had attacked a priest, and be-
fore Father Stein had spoken with him
long he broke down and asked for
giveness, saying he was starving He
then walked with Father Stein to the
house Of the dying man. And before
he left him ut the door Father Anthony
had given him a little money, saying:
Get bed, get food; come to me to-
norrow."F
The priest administered the last
rites of the church to the dying man
who had summoned him and went
home rejoicing that he had saved an
other man from himself and his pas
sions. Next day Father Anthony fell
ill; pneumonia developed. His parish
ioners have been constantly calling at
his house to make anxious inquiries
about him. And every day has called
the once desperate fellow, who would
have shot him on the road, and once
he brought some poor, half faded flow
ers to the priest. "Tell Father An
thony these are from the man he met

a demand for the peremptory "end-
ing" of Strongbow landlordism in the
interest of peasant proprietorship.
Now, in principle, the peasant land
lords claim to exclusive ownership is
as indefensible as that of peer or
squire; but the proved evils Of peasant
proprietorship are not to be discussed
at the fag end Of any article. They are
too grave and untraceable for that.
Eut, peradventure, my space limit will
not be exceeded by the following true
solution Of the land problem in the
words of the inimitable old Newcastle
schoolmaster, Thomas Spence Q775):
"The land, with all that appertains
to it, is, in every parish, made the
property Of the corporation or parish,
with as ample power to let, repair, or
alter all or any part thereof, us lord
of the manor enjoys over his lands,
houses, etc., but the power Of alienat-
ing the least morsel, in any manner,
from the parish, either at this or any
time hereafter, is denied. For it is
solemnly agreed to by the whole ma
ton, that the parish that shall either
sell or give away any part Of it's land
ed property shall be looked upon with
as much horror and detestation as if
they had sold all their children to be
slaves or massacred them with their
cwn hands. Thus there are no more
or other landlords in the whole country
than the parishes, and each of them
is sovereign lord of its territory, do
ing whatever the people think proper,
and not as formerly to support and
spread luxury, pride and all manner
of vice"

those who are used to consulting Il

out that several of the words collected

GUS incident had taken place during

girl, rather juvenile in appearance,

sat on pedestal erected on one of

ing it's course down the Mall, when
the attention of the onlookcrs was
drawn to the excited conduct Of one
of the spectators, who had fixed her
eyes upon the tiara, set with jewels
in the form of a carct, which Thalia
wore upon her head as she sat in what
seemed to Ire her wonted attitude of
nOnchnlancc and leisure. This person
was aftcrwaru shown to be a maniacal

mobity, and the general prcdilcction
Of politicians for patronage. Then
she besought her audience hear her
dilate on the glaciers of the Alps, the
ruins of Pompeii, the female franchise,

was evidently demcnted, and the flow

denly she raised pestle which had
been hidden under her shawl and
threw It directly at the visor on the
