things. 1t Is expected that the present trial
will attract even more widespread interest
than did the first. f--1
Comparatively little Of the evidence,
which the prosecution claims to have. had
been presented when the previous trial was
brought to an abrupt Termination by the
serious illness Of Juror. The defense had
not even shown its hand. A~1
The case had scarcely passed the pre-
liminary stage when the interruption came.
Not one Of the several persons frequently
spoken of as ''star witnesses had been
called to the stand. LYMAN Stern, the
pawnbroker who sold the revolver with
which Young was Killed was Ill and unable
to attend court.

Mrs. Young, the widow OF the dead book

testimony given by him Before the grand
jury Mrs. Young and many others who
had no real part in the first trial also are
expected to be ready to tell their stories at
the proper time.
Extra Provision to Secure Jury.
Only 100 talesmen were called when prep
arations for selecting the first jury were
made. and many of those had not been ex-
amined when the panel was completed.
This time, however. in view of the added
publicity given the case. it was thought
that more trouble would be experienced in
filling the jury box, and special panel Of
200 talesmen had been summoned.
During the past week Miss Patterson,
weakened by the strain from the first trial.

prison. but she had recovered sufficiently to
permit her to 60 to court today.
The name of w. r. Hearst is on the panal
of 300 special jurors from which the Patter-
son jury is to be chosen.
Miss Patterson was very pale when she
took a seat beside her father in court to-
day. Her counsel said that talesmen would
be examined as to their physical and men,
tai condition to prevent further delay.

SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.
Start Marked by Phenomenal Sprinting
Two Rivals Collide.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The first
serious accident in the six-day bicycle race
which began at Madison Square Garden,
occurred early today. when Patrick kee-
gan. the Lowell, Mass, boy, was SO badly
hurt that he was forced to leave the track.
Whether his injuries will retire him per-
ms nently from the race could not be de-
termined until later in the day.
While the men were engaging in a heart
breaking sprinting match Rockowitz, while
rounding the 4th avenue embankment. sud
denly went down. Agraz of the Austral-
ian-American team, who was following
close behind. went crashing into Rocko-
witz. Just as both riders started to slide
down the embankment Keegan came
around at terrific burst of speed.
His wheel struck Rockowitz and Agraz
with terrible force. Keegan struck on his
face on the board track. and with the
two other riders rolled down in heap on
the edge of the oval. Keegan was pitia-
BILE sight. His face was covered with
blood. which flowed from his nose and lip
and a cut across his head. After a hurried
examination the physicians said that his
nose probably had been broken.
One team had been practically ridden out
of the race before the Keegan accident
happened Numerous spills during the
early morning hours had made no change
in the position of the riders who started
away on the long journey at midnight.
long, hard sprint led by the French
team, which continued for nearly an hiur,
however. ended in the King-Rossino team
losing three laps. AS the bunch of riders
passed him for the third time King steered
down from the track to the enclosure, and
with the remark That's enough for me-"
declared that he was out of the race for
good.
The long sprint added many miles to the
score, and at the end of the hour the fig
ures were within one lap of the record
distance for the time. After that time
the pace slowed considerably, however, and
the riders were several miles behind the
record at O'Clock. At that hour the
sixteen teams on the track were tied, with
17j miles even to their credit. GOugoltz
and Breton, the French riders, had a lead
of a few yards at that point.
