And the Trial of Dr. Leon Begun In Earnest, The Defense Ask That Fifteen nesses Be Summoned — A Large Crowd in the Court Room. wit- The trial of Dr. Edward Leon, charged with the murder of “a certain male child” of Miss Estelle E. Beach on the Sist of October last, as the result of an abortion alleged to have been performed on Miss Beach two days previously by Leon, was resumed before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 2 this morning, the court room being filled by an even larger throng than was the case yesterday. Not a woman, however, was present. With but ten men in the jury box, David K. Meredith, Fenton Brewer, Wm. Wan- stall, John M. Birckhead, Wm. W. Riley, Wm. H. Brinkley, Henry 8S. Thrift, John M. McClintock, W. S. B. Henry and Henry Naylor, jr., obtained from the regular panel yesterday, with eight peremptory chal- lenges remaining to the defense and five to the government, the work of completing the jury from the forty extra talesmen summoned yesterday was begun imme- diately after the opening of the court. Mr. James 8. Davis, the first of the forty talesmen, was declared competent, Mr. Joseph Fowler was declared incompetent because of a formed opinion, and the box was then filled by the selection of Mr. Dr. Edmond Leon, James T. Harrison. The district attorney thereupon exercised his first challenge, ex- cusing Mr. Henry S. Thrift. Mr. W. 8. Richardson took Mr. Thrift's place, when the defense challenged Mr. David K. Mer- edith. Mr. Cyrus Spottswood, the first colored man drawn, was then declargd com- petent, and Mr. Birney declared himself to be satisfied with the jury. The defense, however, challenged Mr. Henry Naylor, ;r., and, although the next talesman, Mr. John Slick, stated that he had formed an opinion, he explained that it would yield to evi- dence. He was declared competent, but after Mr. Birney had again stated that ne was satisfied with the twelve men in the box Mr. Cook, for the defense, challenged Mr. Slick. Mr. Geo. W. King was declared compe- tent, but was at once challenged by the defense, and Mr. James A. Shaw, colored, was then selected. Again the prosecution expressed their satisfaction with the twelve men in the box, but the defense challenged Mr. Wm. W. Riley, and Judge Cole ex- cused Mr. James S. Davis, because of an important business engagement. Mr. Wm. T. Burdine was declared incompetent be- cause of a fixed opinion, and Mr. Wm. Mercer was accepted. That still left a vacancy in the box. Mr. Thad. Brashears was declared incompetent, as was Mr. Peter M. Jones, colored, and Mr. Frank Dteu- donne had conscientious scruples against capital punishment. The box was then filled by the selection of Mr. Spencer John- son, when Mr. Birney challenged Mr. Mer- cer. Another talesman, Mr. Frank Haines, was excused because of a prejudice against capital punishment, and Mr. John T. Fow- ler was accepted. The defense thereupon challenged Mr. Richardson, and when Mr. Richard Chism had taken his place, the defense challenged Mr. McClintock. Mr. Andrew Archer was found to be competent, but the defense exhausted their last chal- lenge by excusing him. Mr. Arthur W. Fairfax was found to be competent, and told to stand aside, while Mr. Richard Bruce, colored, was examined. Mr. Bruce challenged by the district attorney. Mr. W. S. Brown was also found to be quali- fied, but was permitted to stand aside while Mr. Samuel Tinney, colored, was examined. M Tinney declared he would not hang anybody, and was excused. The Jury Complete. The selection of Mr. George W. Hurley again filled the box, and, the district attor- ney declaring that he was satisfied with the twelve men, and the defense having ex- hausted their twenty challenges, the fol- lowing were sworn as the jury: Fenton Brewer, Wm. Wanstall, John M. Birckhead, Wm. H. Brinkley, W. 8S. B. Henry, James T. Harrison, Cyrus Spottswood (colored), Richard Chism, James A. Shaw (colored), Spencer Johnson, John T. Fowler and Geo. W. Hurley. Mr. Cason, for the defense, then presented an affidavit of the prisoner, asking that fifteen witnesses be summoned on his behalf at the expense of the government. District Attorney Birney stated that the affidavit failed to state who or where the desired witnesses were, and also failed to show the materiality of their evidence. Mr. Cook explained that to do so would be to play into the hands of the prosecution, and that the law did not require it. He stated, however, that he would not press the matter now, and it was passed over for the present. The court then (at 12:15) 400k a recess until 1 o'clock. ; The First Witness. Upon the opening of the court after re- cess, Mr. Lewin, the district attorney's assistant, made the opening address to the jury, explaining the nature of the charge. ‘The defense reserved their opening to the jury, and the prosecution then called their first witness, Dr. Raymond T. Holden, who stated that he was called to attend Miss Beach early on the morning of the 31st of October last at her father’s residence, 11338 6th street southwest. He found her in bed, suffering great pain, from the effects of a recently performed operation of abortion. The child had not been delivered, and wit- ness prescribed the usual remedies. A few hours later a male child was born. Every- thing possible was done for the child, but it lived but six hours. The primary cause of its death was premature birth. “Doctor,” inquired the district attorney, “what is the easiest method of procuring an_ abortion?” Mr. Cook objected, stating that there was no averment respecting the ease or diffi- culty of obtaining the alleged abortion. Besides, it was not shown that the witness was expert in the performance of abortion. The question at issue was, did the defend- |ant perform the operation? Mr. Birney then withdrew the question, and asked the witness what was the cause of the premature birth of the child, and the witness replied that in his opinion it re- sulted from a puncture of certain organs by a sharp instrument. pans <a An Important Penston Decision. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Rey- nolds has rendered a decision in the appeal case of Alvin West, formerly of the Ken- tucky State Guards. The decision is one of the most important yet rendered by Judge Reynolds because it affects a large number of cases of pension claimants. The decision sets forth that a state militiaman is not pensionable unless his disability was incurred in the line of duty while actually in the service of the United States, under the authority of the President. Section 4693 of the Revised Statutes is held not to apply to the case, as he was neither wound- ed nor injured in battle with rebels or In- dians, and because he had not prosecuted his claim to a sucessful issue prior to July 4, 1874. Judge Reynolds in disposing of the case rules that a state militiaman under orders from a United States officer is not thereby in the service of the United States, and a military organization is not In the United States service unless it is made a part of the army by being ordered or mustered into the service by the President. ————— Trying to Catch Up. All the routine work of the patent office 1s four or five days in arrears. To correct this Chief Clerk Newton this morning is- sued the following circular to all chiefs of divisions in the bureau: “I am anxious to bring the correspond- ence of the office up to date, and in order to do so it will be necessary to have the co- operation of the heads of all the divisions of the office.

IMPORTANT PHASES OF IMMIGRATION. Matters Discussed at the Session Held Today. A CALL ON THE PRESIDENT. —. Overhead trolley wires ts not one of the subjects that is on the program of the national board of trade, but at the begin- ning of the third day’s session of that body at the Shoreham this morning the trolley was characterized es destructive of life and @ menace to property interests, and these opinions were apparently indorsed by the intelligent members of this body. No ac- tion was taken, but the remarks of Mr. Tucker of Philadelphia, who, with other members of the board, inspected this morn- ing the underground sireet railway system on U street, were listened to with close at- tention, and his motion thanking the rep- resentatives of the system for this “edu- cational” visit was promptly adopted. Mr. Tucker stated that a number of the members of the board had accepted the in- vitation from Mr. Albert G. Wheeler to in- spect the underground electric railway sys- tem in operation on U street, and had gone over aH road this morning. The visit, he said, had opened the eyes of all to the practicability of applying in our cities a system of underground wires which would take the place of the objectionable and harassing overhead wires that do so much to disfigure our cities and interfere with the mete aa the eco a partment. Al Haven * Waldo Smith of ‘New York, and Mr Took ~ at once accepted the suggestion. He moved that a vote of thanks be extended to Mr. Wheeler for giving the board the profit of the visit, which was an educational one. The resolution was adopted. by recommends the strict enforcement of ployment in no way interfered with the rights of the laboring classes. However, strenuous objection was made to this part of the resolution. Opposition was made to any kind import a © Preacher to the place of Mr. Beecher and the bring- ing over by Mr. Vanderbilt of a $10,000 cook. He thought that there was in this country men of ability in these lines and there was no need to go to foreign countries. It was denied by Mr. Rice that any attack was intended by this resolution on the labor classes of the country. He did not believe that any one present held the opinion that the effect of such a resolution if enacted into law would injure the labor classes. Why should the position be taken that there is no one in the world that can teach us in America any’ ‘Mr. Forward said that these men were objected to only when under contract. I argued skill of men who lishment experience and made possible the estab- the employ- ment of wf manufactures and the classes. Fear of Contract Labor. ‘The fear was expressed that the privilege given by the words “under agreement” would be abused. It was said that the ekilled men would come here if they were needed and so of professional men, but it was said that this country had an abund- ance of such men. In other words, there was no necessity to go to Europe to make contracts for service. The men would come here. Substitutes were offered and various amendments were proposed to get rid of the “agreement” clause of the report. How- ever, the resolution reported from the com- mittee and given above was finally adopted by a vote of 34 to 11. This action disposed of one of the most important questions that has come before the board at the present session. A number of amendments to the inter- state commerce law were presented in the report of a committee of which Mr. H. F. Donsman is chairman. The report states that while thoroughly“believing in the prin- ciples underlying the interstate commerce law, and that its vigorous enforcement would be equally conducive to good business morals and the financial health of the cor- porations subject to it, yet recognizing the fact that this law, dealing with a great sub- ject in a new way, is purely tentative, ard must therefore be strengthened and improv- ed as time and 1 show the need and point out the way’ therefore tne following amendments are recommended: Making the corporation itself indictable and subject to exemplary fines for all violations of the law by its officers or agents; giving to the find- ings of the commission the validity of the report of a master in chancery; to enable the commission to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of testi- mony in all cases heard by them, or inves- tigations made by them on their own mo- tion; repealigg that feature of the law which involves imprisonment as a punish- ment for its violation; such a defiaition of the terms of the law as may be necessary to bring within its provisions and restric- tions all common carriers engaged in inter- state commerce; to enforce upon common carriers a strict accountability to the owner or consignee for the prompt Gelivery of property intrusted to the care of such com- mon carriers for transportation, by the im- posing of a proper demurrage charze for delay beyond a reasonable time in the transportation of such property; that the interstate commerce commission be direct- ed to put into effect on January 1, 1896, a classification of freight which vhall be uni- form throughout the United States, ac- companying the same with a form ef com- mon law bill of lading for use in faterstate commerce. ‘Trade With Canada. On motion of Mr. Erastus Wiman a com- mittee consisting of Messrs. Gidding, Lane, Gano, Stone and Wiman was appointed to call on Representative Cockran of the sub- committee of the ways and means commit- tee on reciprocity to present the proposed amendment to the tariff bill in reference to trade with Canada adopted by the beard at yesterday’s session. A committee, consist- ing of Messrs. Smith of Toledo, Smith of New York and Ford of Baltimore, was ap- pointed to call at the White House and ar- range a time when the board can pay their respects to the President. Mr. Elias 8. A. de Lenia of New York presented a resolution urging the vital im- portance of the development of the mer- chant marine and that Congress be urged to adopt the proper measures to that end. This resolution represented the opinion of the New York board of trade and trans- portation. It was spoken of as a general statement, and Mr. Ford of Baltimore, who announced his opposition to any subsidy scheme, accepted the resolution in lieu of a substitute 1 we offered.

The finance committee, through Mr. Pope, reported against the repeal of the law taxing the currency issues of all state banks, favored the increase of the national bank issue equal to the par value of the United States bonds deposited in the United States treasury; that an expert of the committee favored the ue of bonds at a uniform rate of 3 per cent, in such denominations as would ‘make them available to the people. But the of the Treasury had already taken acuion, and the committee believed in giving him loyal support rather than to advocate some other plan. reminiscences were indulged in of the times when banks flourished, ee ‘The discussion was interrupted by « re- on the President, who stated that jent would receive them at 1 o'clock toda: 4 iy. i At the afternoon session of the terday an invitation from Mr. Albert Wheeler, the manager of the underground electric system for street railroads, which is in operation on U street, to visit and in- spect this system, was accepted.
