JURY IS COMPLETED.
Trial of Mrs. Bradley for Murder Will
Now Proceed.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The jury in
the Bradley trial was completed at
11:15 o'clock. At this time District
Attorney Turner Immediately began
the presentation of the case for the
government.
Mrs. Bradley was again accompanied
by her mother, but as on yesterday the
two sat apart, the elder lady taking a
seat 10 or IL feet distant from the
younger.
The proceeding of securing a jury
was resumed and one after another the
talesmen indicated such bias that only
one of the first fourteen could be ac-
cepted. Some of them had formed an
opinion upon reading the account Of
the shooting of Senator Brown and all
who so expressed themselves stated
that their convictions were so strong
as to constitute a fixed prejudice.
Others were opposed to capital
punishment. A still larger number
expressed objection to inf1icting the
death penalty on woman. OF the
latter class Edwin r. Hart, the third
man called, was a fair representative.
He said that he was opposed to capital
punishment and when pressed added
that his opposition was especially
marked in this case.

a verdict according to the law?''

Frederick Gichener, the fourteenth
man, had formed an opinion and he
said that it could not be changed be-
cause there had been in his own family
a case similar to this.
The fifteenth man called was George
w. Turnburth. a painter. who was the
first man of the day to meet all the re-
Quirements. He was temporarily ac-
cepted by both sides, but he had no

The sixteenth man called was eX-
cused because he is the superintendent
of the congressional cemetery and ex>
poets to be busy. w. H. Rupertus,
paper hanger, was accenta able on gen.
eral principles, but he had no sooner
taken his seat than Mr.. Turnburth was
excused.
seventh man called. He was sworn
only on the five books of Moses. as he
objected to accepting the entire Bible
for that purpose. He failed to give
satisfaction, being opposed to capital
punishment for women and was per-
mitted to retire. The next called was
Samuel r. CARRIER and he proved the
last to answer the summons. as he was
acceptable to both sides. 1t was ,11:15

AFTER MORE GOLD.
New York Bankers Negotiating With
Paris for $25 ,OOO, 900.

New York, Nov. 14.-Hope of adding
possibly $25,000 900 gold to the $60,000,000
or more we have already obtained from
abroad is held out by negotiations un-
der way between New York banking in
terests, through their Paris representa-
tives and the Bank of France. The
Bank Of France so far has refused to
permit gold to be taken from its, vaults
for export to New York.
The negotiations with the Bank Of
France looking to the release of this
large amount of gold by that institution
were not definitely concluded at the
close Of business yesterday, according
to one of the bankers interested in the
negotiations. The plan upon which 1t
has been proposed to obtain this gold
from the Bank of France, 1t is under
stood, provided for the sale of gold by
the Bank of France at premium of
one-haf of one per cent against COM
mercial bills drawn on Paris and repre-
senting exports of merchandise from
this country to France.
In cable advices received in the fin
ancial district from Paris it was said
that Morgan, Harjes & Co., the Nor
gan house in Paris, were the bankers
through whom the negotia tions with the
Bank of France were being carried on.
That the Morgan firm had interested
itself in the efforts to obtain gold from
Paris was generally credited. though
no official acknowledgment of the fact
could be obtained.

private detectives and by the police de-
partment, on the theory that Arnold
was either taken suddenly i'll, or was
waylaid and fatally injured. No one
answering the description has been re-
ported at police headquarters and the
police scout the theory of suicide
The story told in Ventura to the ef-
feet that Arnold had some pressing
reason for breaking off the match has
not been credited by the friends of the
grief-stricken girl in this city. They
assert it would have been easy to break
the engagement months ago. when but
little harm would have been done in
comparison to the present desertion, al
most at the marriage altar.
If Arnold has a past that will not
bear investigation, it is argued that he
must have realized the situation long
ago, and would have made, up his mind
before asserting to the final prepara-
tions.
Letters have been sent to Arnold S
address in Topeka. begging him to make
an explanation, if he has any regard
for his honor. If he is still alive it is
believed he will offer some sort of ex-
cuse for his cruel conduct.

the opening was conducted by the Met
ropoitan Antonius and large number
of bishops and other high ecc1esiasticS
and was made the occasion for great
display of patriotic enthusiasm on the
part of conservative and moderate
members. The emperor was vigorously
cheered.
The city is perfectly quiet. A few
hundred students gathered in the vicin-
ity of the palace but they did not at
tempt to make a demonstration. A
score of mounted patrols on the quays
and in the principal thoroughfareS
were more than sufficient to preserve
order. The only discordant note was
struck by the Social Democrats, who
remained in the committee room during
the reading of the emperor's greetings
and entered the main hall only when it
was necessary to sign the oath. The
Constitutional Democrats showed no
marked enthusiasm in singing the ma
tional hymn or in the cheering, but
otherwise they participated decorOusly
in the proceedings
Promptly at IL o'clock the Metropoh-
tan Antonius, pope of the Russian
church attended by an imposing suite
of eccIesiastics, clothed in gold, among
them being the archbishop of st. Peters
burg and eight mitred bishops filed into
Catherine hall.
Two bishop deputies wearing sacerdo-
tai robes assisted the metropolitan, who
afterwards intoned the litany and
prayers for parliament. in which the
great mass of the deputies reverently
Joined. At the close of the prayer in
response to a general call, the national
hymn was repeatedly sung amid cheers.
While the deputies were entering the
hall Premier Stolypin approached the
metropolitan and received his blessing
and the pontif1cal kiss on the cheek.
The ceremony of opening parliament
was simple. NJ. Goluboff accompanied
by secretary of the empire, Baron
Uexkull de Gylenbandt mounted the
tribune invited the members to rise and
read the imperial ukase convoking the
parliament and a brief greeting from
the emperor.
AT the first mention of the emperor's
name P. A. Krupensky, a marshal of
the nobility and member of the house
interrupted NJ. Goluboff with a cry for
cheers for the emperor which were CIV
en- with will and were repeated at the
end of NJ. Goluboff's speech. The latter
then read the oath of allegiance, dis
tinctly emphasizing the words "emper-
or" and "autocrat." A recess of an
hour was taken while the deputies
signed the oath.
NJ Khomyakoff. Octoberist, was elect
ed president of the house, receiving 81
votes on the first ballot. Count Bobrin-
sky Conservative, received two votes
and NJ. Golovine. Constitutional Demo-
crat, ex-president of the second parlia-
ment, one vote. The election was the
result of an agreement between the Oc-
tcberists and Conservatives. the latter
voting for NJ Khomyakoff in returned
for a promise of one of the vice presi-
dencies and two other offices

stroyed at Parsons.

Parsons, Kan, Nov. 14.-By the most
disastrous fire in the history Of Parsons.
5000, 200 worth Of property was destroy

tents, $1,000; Joe Schreck's blacksmith
shop, $1,000; Coheon & Olson, cabinet

Practically all stocks and buildings
were insured. The fire originated In q
barn where boys were smoking cigar
cites. stiff south wind carried em-
bers from the lumber yards over the
residence section and a conhagration
was prevented only by hard work of
citizens with yard hose and bckets of
water. Low water pressure made the
fire departments efforts almost fruit
less for an hour.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Assistant District

criticized the actions of the former
president of the Chicago National bank
in unmeasured terms, and was fire.

for the defense with objections to his
statements.
his rulings with Mr.. Dobyns, insisting
that the defense reserve their objections
until the assistant district attorney had
finished, and not interrupt him in the
middle of a sentence.
Il do not see how l can object without
interrupting,' said Attorney Hines, who
is acting for Mr.. Walsh.
Reserve your objections until Mr.
Dobyns has finished his statements, -
said the court: "he is entitled to finish
his sentences
The assistant district attorney con-
cluded his address with a statement of
the holdings by the Chicago banks of
the bonds of the Southern Indiana rail-
way. He said:
When the Walsh banks closed there
were outstanding bonds of the Southern
Indiana railroad to the amount of a.
100000. OF these the three Walsh banks
held $3,9OO.000. From the banks Mr.
Walsh had taken $3,648,0O0 on these
49, OAAS
to the public. They were absolutely
unmarketable and worthless"
The transactions of Mr.. Walsh in
connection with the Wisconsin and
Michigan railway and the Lake Michi-
gan Car Ferry Transportation company
were also commented upon in severe
terms.
His Newspaper Experience.
Mr.. Dobyns declared that the finan-
cial operations of Mr.. Walsh were kept
a secret from the directors of the bank.
He added that several of them Will take
the stand during the trial and testify
to that effect
The financial troubles of the Chicago
Chronicle, newspaper which was con-
trolled by Mr.. Walsh, were dismissed
by the speaker. He declared that the
Chronicle during its existence ran be-
hind $1,611, ,104. In one year he declared
the receipts were $452, 705, while the ex-
penses were $712,716. Large loans, he
said, were made to the Chronicle by
the bank and 1t had once withdrawn
from the bank a sum inexcess of the
amount which could legally be loaned
to it. The bank examiner directed that
Mr.. Walsh decrease the amount of the
loan. Mr.. Walsh, he declared, promised
to do this, but never did. This after
noon Attorney Ritcher made the open
ing address for the defense.

have had to reduce their loans and in
some instance a limit has been placed
by them on the amount to be given any
one person, no matter what the pledge.
IF we can't get the money from our
bankers, we can't push it across our
counters" is the attitude of the pawn
brokers voiced by one of them. Along
the Bowery and Park Row the limit In
most shops has been set at $25 to $50
but a few of the larger shops are pay
ing out $50
The character and number of the peo-
pie who are trying in this way to raise
money are declared by a Forty-second
street pawnbroker to be astonishing. A
man came to his shop, he said. to pledge
a large number of government bonds
and another brought family tewelry
worth 100000. Neither could be accom-
modated.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 14.-Ten mil
