Mondays Proceedings.

Leon F. CZolgosZ was placed on trial in Buffalo Monday morning. charged with the murder of President McKin- ley. He entered plea of guilty, which was subsequently, changed to not gull ty by direction of the court.
 Justice Truman c. White, one of the most experienced of the supreme court judges. was on the bench. Immediate ly after the opening of the court and after the prisoner had pleaded Justice Loran l.. Lewis. senior counsel for the defendant. arose and announced that, together with his colleagues. former Justice Robert C. Titus. and Mir. Carl ton l.. Ladd. they were ready to act In behalf of the prisoner.
 The work of securing the jurors was then undertaken with a celerity that was amazing. Before the day was over the entire panel had been sworn and were seated in the box and had listened to n description of the Temple of Mu- sic, where the crime occurred. had seen photographs of the interior of that structure and had been told by three surgeons what caused the death of the president and the result of the assas- sins shot upon the various organs of the body. They had also learned why the fatal bullet has not been located.
 Dr. II. k. Gaylord described the loca- ton of the wound in the stomach and the direction of the bullet. The cause of death was attributed to the gunshot wound, but fundamentally, he said, 1t was due to the changes back of the stomach in the pancreas. caused by the "breaking down" of the material of the pancreas as a result of the passage of the bullet.
 Dr Herman Mynter followed, and his testimony was of great importance, inasmuch as it brought out the fact that the reason why the fatal bullet had not been located at the autopsy was because of the unwillingness of the presidents relatives to have the body further mutilated by their instruments.
 Dr. Mann testified that the primal cause of death was the gunshot wound In the stomach. One effect of this wound was, he said, to cause the gan grene to form in the pancreas, and the spot of poisoned tissue was as large as 2 silver dollar.

A Curious Trap.

A curious labyrinth in which ele- plants are captured alive Is to be seen near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of Siam. The labyrinth Is formed of q double row of immense tree trunks set firmly in the ground, the space between them gradually narrowing.
 Where 1t begins, at the edge of the forest, the opening of the labyrinth Is more than a mile wide, but as 1t ap- breaches Ayuthia 1t becomes so mar row that the elephants cannot turn around.
 Suspectlng no danger the wild ele- phant enters the broad opening at the forest end. lured on by tame elephant. The gradual narrowing of the bound aries Is not observed until the ele- phant finds himself in close quarters.
 Having reached the end of the laby- rinth, the tame elephant Is allowed to pass through gate. while men lying in walt slip shackles over the feet of the captives. The sport Is a dangerous one, for the enraged elephants some times crush the hunters under their feet. --..-.-. ....-.
