e e P it — THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY APRIL 3, 1889, THE JURY HAS BEEN FOUND. Twelve Men Who Passed All tho COounsel Challenges. MISS BEECHLER'S TRIAL OPEN, Boenes Among the Eager Spectators Yesterday-—Demeanor of the De- fendant—Ristory ot Her Yesterday In the Court Tong before 9 o'clock yesterday morning n ploturesque crowd began to assemble in the corridors and around the entrances to the main court room, Sheriff Coburn had taken every precaution © prevent undue annoyances, Half a dozen ladies put in an appea: e as early as 8 a. m. “How can we get in?" sweotly chirped a fat fairy with extravagant bangs and a red bird on her hat. . Deputy Sheriff Grebe smiled upon the ‘beauty at once, and invited her, as well as the other fair ones, to follow him. They were piloted through the sheriff's office iuto the charmed chamber and given seats. Itis evident that the throng in attendance during the trial will greatly exceed the capacity of the court room, which has seat- fog accommodations only for 500. All the benches that it will hold have been put into the auditorium, To-day they wore packed. Fhe first four rows are reserved for female spectators. The representatives of this sex, to-day, had the appearance of being deceived, disappointed working girls, unhappy wives and giddy, gossipy gushers. Old bald heads and young rounders wearing flannel shirts predominated on the music benches, The court opened at 9:30 o'clock. After Clerk Moores had read the journal of Mo day, Judge Groff consulted County Attorn Malioney and J. C. Cowin s to the probabii- ity of issuing an order for a special venire of fifty jurymen. It developed that with the other branches of the court running, only seven of the regular panel were available. ‘While this consuitation was going on Bheriff Coburn led Miss IDiechler into tl bar and gave her a seat beside Judge Bald- ‘win. Her face was flushed and she induiged in & momentary outburst of‘tears. The pris- oner's,_general appearance, however, indi- cates that she is 1n the enjoyment of good bealth and is prepared to undergo a great ordeal. She was dressed in solid black, wears the same widow'sbonnet and veil she ‘wore on the day of her arraignment. and sits most of the time with her right arm resting on the chair and face buried in a white handkerchief. Her dress is of fashionable make, a tight fitting coat or basque setting off, to splendid advantage, a shapely pair of arms, full round shoulders, large bust and slender waist. Her face is of neither atypical nor ideal mould. It bears more strongly the evidences of the Germau cast than any other. The cheeks full; the mouth small but sensuous: the noso short and inclined to retrousse; the eyes large and expressive; forchead broad and high; hauds and feot small. _The lady, indeed, is an at. tractive being. Violent passion is written in every lineament of her features, and the lat- tor are susceptible to the rapid changes of various and conflicung emotions. Clerk Moores was ordered to catl the jury. Ho read the names of Will Wakely, William Lemer, . M. King, Dan McBride, Dan O'Kecfe, Michacl McCarty and W. J. West- erdale. Only the first five responded. They took their seats in the box. County Attorney Mahony briefly outlined to them the cass Thoy had all heard of and read about it. Wakely and Lehmer had formed opinions which could not be re- moved. The latter was examined at some length and in the catechism Mahony inguired ]nm his views on inflicting the death pen- ty. At this reference, suggesting a possible yinpleasant fate, the fair prisoner, who in- tently listened to the proceedings, 'fell back in her chair and wept bitterly, The rapid changes of feeling coursing through her mind were mirrored in the face, which grew red and pale in turns, McCarty, McBride and O'Keeffe had not formed opinions and thought that there was nothing standing in the way of their serving. Mr. Muhoney passed them for cause. Mr Cowin informed the bench that he would not chullenge until the jury box was filled. Sheriff Coburn sent his deputics in every irection with their pockets full of sub- @ans. The judge, lawyers and everybody plse waited half an hour, at the expiration of ‘Wwhich time the announcement was made that pothing more could be accomplished until 2 o'clock, and an adjournment was taken. During this lull in the proceedings, necks wero crancd and advantageous positions were sought by the crowd to get a view of he prisoner who poses as the chief and cen- ral figure in this great drama, As Miss Biechler left tho court-room, lean- ng on Sherifft Coburn's arm to return to er ooll, she looked over her left hculder at Mr. Cowin and awarded him a arting smile, Neither returning to or coming from the ail did Miss Biechler have any thing to say. early all her conversation, in the court yoom, was held with Judge Baldwin. Sho eyed the mrm‘lurs sharply several times and :z!ume inquiries of Mr. Baldwin concerning hom. By way of prepavation for the trial, for weeks Judge Groff and the attorneys en- aged have been putting in all their spare ours, ransacking authorities and arranging the points of law likely to be raised. C. 8. Montgomery said yestorday that he had the matter 8o crowded into his head that it was almost impossible for him to think of anything else. Judging from the mannor in which thoy are commencing, three days or more will be consumed getting pjury. Nearly all the talesmen summonca 10 duy aro being picked up in the city. Afternoon Session. The dry routine work of securing a jury I8 not the most grateful entertainmont to the Ausatiate murder trial crowd. Nevertholess, those who gained admission at first and picked out places in the auditorium remained gl day. Tho complement of feminine weak- ness present in tho forenoon was on hand in the afternoon, some of them as early as 1 oclock, and patiently waited for pusines to begin. The types of beauty range from the voluntuous sy-lipped, dark-eved maiden of sixtecn, ho chows gum und giggles, to the long, ean, sad-looking and care-worn matron of fifty. whose lot in life's busy whirl hus been anything buv fortunate. Promptiy, on the bour, ot more than half a dozen lawyers were to 0 scen inside the bar. Grebe brought three lone jurors from their lock-up, and Coburn ntered from Clerk Moore's ofiice with Miss Bloontor, Mho latter was looking . much paler and more sad than &t the morniug session. Aaran Hoel, Charles Cal- ahan, George I, Timme, Phillip Audrews, aul Platz, Charles Bunckes, ', J. MoShane, Jobn Woodburn and Charles -F. MclLean, wero called into the jury box. Phillip Andres said ho had no opinion as to the guilt or inuocence of the accused. Ho would not return a death penalty verdict under any circumstance: He was ordored to stand asde. John R. Manchester was callod 1o the vacant seat. James Caliahan said he had an opinion on the mutter, whioh would require testi to remove. He gave way to W, H. I 5 Aaron Hore was in the same boat as the other two, and K. . Iinger took his place. Charles F. Mciean also gave way and Chris. Schlinder was called out, but set free on the samo grounds as those before him. On the ground of helding an opinion as to the jlt or innocence of the defendant, John Voodburn pleaded non-qualification, but he had no objections to returning a death pen- alty, provided the law and ibe evidenco should warrant it. . Paul Platz informed the county attorney that his conscientious soruples against cap- ftal punishment were so strong that under 10 elroumstances could he be induced to hang mny one by his verdict. George Timwe de- olared that he felt the same way, and both wvere ohallonged for cause. J. H. McShane t the way of the others because of the that his mind was made up and court convened, not easily be changed. " . Kremer “n,y somawhat different of those ieg him. He had , but it eould ly be changed F ovidence, He had no seauiweatal notions - regarding the death malty, ‘The prosecu- tion retained him. F. "Ringer, Charles Schindler and J. F. Pollock were examined and excused. ““Have you evor heard of this case before, talked with anybody about it, read news: papor accounts, formed from what heara and read an opinion as to the guilt mnocence of the defondant! Have u sucl opinion now, an opinion that it would re. quire testimony to remove! Could you, notwithstanding this opinion, render, on the evidenco adduced and_under instructions of the_court, an impartial verdict: have you suoh conscientious scruples against capital punishwent as would preclude your return- ing a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, death penalty being a result of such verdict 1" These are about the style of questions put by Mahoney in his examination of candidates for the jury L. Shiply answ: 1 *yes™ to the questions relating to _opinions,” but ‘no” to all the others. Mahoney chailenged him for cause, but Judge Groff overruied the chal- lenge, Paul Piatz, Charles Banks, J. R. Manchester, J. F. Pollock, S. C. Epporson, Thomas Price, Charles Brindorf, P. M. Wetty, Louis Heimrod, E. Ringer were compelled to retire. So far as the first case challenge goes, Charles Wilkens and E. H. Hemming have been accepted. C. J. K buck was excused, J. P. Megeath passe muster all right. So did William J. Hein: J. N. Phillips saved himself by giving satis- factory replies to the ex: ation, and re. mained. C. S. Whitney could not be in duced to render a verdict that would result iu the death of the prisoner. He stood aside and J, L. Rico was called to take his place. Mr. Rico was accopted by Mahoney, and having with him secured twolve men, the wore turned over to the dofendant's ' attor- neys. General Cowin took Mr. Rice in liand and wont for him. He proved to be au unsatis- factory candidate and challenged for cause, Frank Corhss eded him, He admittod having such prejudices and convie tions that nothing would convince him to give an impartial verdict. As Mr. Corliss left his seat a rejected talesman, Il Jolinson, slid into it. Mr, Johnson is an old and gra whiskered man, but he knew of nothing that would provent him from rend fair and impartial verdict. Ho was passed. Again the jury was turned over to_ Cowin, He removed W. H. Kreamer. A. L. Wiggins was thon called. Mahoney passed him, B\ M. King, one of the regular puncl, was then exammed by Cowin and excused, The clerlk asked W, H. Lawtor to take the seat vacated. ~He was accepted by Mahoney. On the grounds. however, that he bad formed fixed and definite opin- ions, Cowin rejected bim. He stood aside and Frank Wagner was called into the box. “Have vou any bias or prejudices for or against the defendant?” inquired the county attorney. Mr. Wagner evidently understood the question to be, whether or not any one could buy hiw, and replied: can I don't know it.” cast, he was retained. in again tackled the jury questioned O'Keete, McCarty ming and passed the jury for cause. court ordered peremptory Judge Groft arranged the tho state eight aud Miss Defendant had the first and c uk Kammere He s the noxt man to oath, but he didn’t stick, it.

This gave Mike Meany an op- portunity to appear on the scene. Nothing that Mr. Meany had ever read about this case in the newspapers made an impression on his mind for the reason that to his way of looking at matters there are two sides to ail stories. He stuck. Ior the state's first per- emptory, ili Johnson} had to be cut down, James Steele was called as his % remained. The defendant was given her fourth peremptory, and let Mr. Meany out. W. W. Ford came next and was kept. General Cowin smd he would waive the fifth chalienge, but upon being informed that this would also compel him to waive the sixth and seventh, he took it back and cut off A. L. Higgins; George Lindiey took his place. Then the defense waived the sixth and seventh. This guve the plaintiffs their sccond and Mr. Mahoney thought h uld get along without the ser of William .

Aftor him came Adam C. Van Zant. He also retired and James K. Pettly came on. Joe Megeath commenced to imagine at about this stage in the game that he was go- ing to be salted for a ten days seige and began to beg for -a ro- lense. Petty could not be accepted. Clerk Moo lled D. P. Redman and Mor ris Morrison, but neither responded. Said he. addressing the court: Your honor, that exhausts tho special venire,” *'Call from the regular panel then.” D. 1. Hoxie came to the front, but his prejudices were sufficient to make him ob- Jectionable. By this time Morris Morrison showed up and was put under examination. He was passed for cause. The state excused Charles Wilkins and let Frank McGrath take his place, only to be examined and bounced, and let Louis Larson have an opportunity. He held the job about two minutes, fell b and allowed C. J. Westerdahl permission to try his band.

Elizabeth Biechler is a swall woman, of good form, fairly attractive face and rather prepossessing general appeara: To-day the blind goddess is weighing her, as a crim- inal, in the scales of justice for an act which the information has charged as murder in the first degree. Since November 11, 1588, this unfortunate creature has lived like a caged bird in an iron-bound aud steel-bolted cell, isolated from the world and beyond the extilarating pleasures of freedom. For four months she has been subjected to the stings of personal sorrow, misery and pain. Now comes the trial which must degide her fate, Thousands of people remember distinctly that thrilling sensation occusiouned on the morning of the day above meutioned, when the report spread through the city and flashed on lightning's swift wings to every purt of the cguniry, telling how Henry W. King, jr., a youni' clothing merchant of this city had ‘been shot and killed by a woman in the Paxton hotel, Many who read the grapbicully-written sccounts of the homocide have forgotten my as to dotails, The purpose of this briel story, therefore, is to assist them in refreshing their memo- ries and more readily understand the devel- opment that wmust necessarily be made frow day to day as the trial progrosses. It is generally conceded that no case has ever boen brought to trial in Douglas county which attracts so wuch wide-spread and deep-seated interest. This is due, undouby edly, to the fact that the principles are bet- ter known elsewhere than here, though it must be admitted, the viclim haa made a bost of admiring friends in Omaba. Whetlier unexpectedly to him or not, & mat ter Lhat will probably uever be kuown, Ehz- abeth Bicohler came very early to thé Pax- ton hotel, whero he was living with his wife, to whom he had recently been weddea, She reeistered as ‘‘Mrs. Harry King, Chicago,” and was assigned to an apartment on the third floor. While go- ing up stairs sho pressod the elavator boy to toll her where Mr. King's room was. Un- suspiciously tho Ind imparted the desired i formation. Straight to that spot sho direct- od her footsteps and rapped on the door, “Who's there!” came an inquiry from within “It's me, Harry; open the door I want to see you. The young man answered at once, but upon secing and rocognizing his visitor, in- dieated that her call was not a welcome' one and insisted that she leave the place and not attempt to make trouble or interfere with him. As the story goos, her reply to his rebuft was in substauco: , 1 am your wife have come all the way from Chicago for an understanding and will not leave without seoing and talking with you, Concluding, doubtless, thata scene was inovitable, but not giving thoueht to the pos- sibility of any attempts at violence, he asked Miss Biechler to go the parlor and wait till he aould dress himsalf and join her. Tnstead however, doing as requested, fearing ev dently that King would not keep his word, the woman remained in the hail and_ impa- tiontly watched until Harry emerged. To- gether they descended, sought a sofa in ong corner of the parlor, where tho subsequent, and as yet un- told colloquy between them ensue "Phey haa not been there long until the sha crack of a pistol rang through the house, fol- lowed in quick succossion by three more re- ports, startling the guests and turning the quictude of the hotel into a scene of wild ex- citement and confusion, The first sight witnossed by the carliest itness was the shocking spectacle of a man struggling heiplessly down the stairway to the first landing of tho rotunda, where' he fell groaning, and after him, u desperate- looking woman, with o revolver in her hand, and exclaiming’ %0, my God, T have killed him 1" ho beut over the prostrate form, looked at it a moment and walked down' into the rotunda, whero she was met by two or three nien, relieved of the gun_and led back to the private office. There sho remained until taken into custody by Ofiicer Dempsey and conveyed to the central police station, So dramatic in action and execution was tho whole affar that, at the time, it was con- siaered the most realistic tragedy ever com- mitted, The woman had seemingly nerved 1f to such a high and_uncontrollable that, to all intents and purposes, the d looked more like a stage assault than an actual murd; Miss Biechlor's incarceration, arraignment and conduct as a prisoner are only incidental to the muin fact. Whatever her past life has been will bo fully brought out befdre a ver- dict shall have boen reached. In the journey from Chicago to Omaha she met two ladies on the train who roside in Omaha_and knew something of King. To them she confided her troubles, and it can easily be imagined tuat, upon “hearing the result of her interview with the man, they were more completely surprised than any- body el Af of the affair th written comes to light thra mation, dropped at vi activity displayed in the has nover been zh bits of infor- ious tines, as to tho ccuring counsel both nd defonse. On the ing, and whilo he was cating his breakfast, representatives cailed on General Cowin to'retam him for the state. He refused, with a positive injunction that amount ' of money would induce him to sccute & woman. Application was then ade to other luwyers. an old-time d, tho dead man's f ad- with James E. Woolworth, and, acting for morning of the shoo prosecution on his suggestion, extended overtures to John M. Thurston, but_ that gentleman was not in & position to nccept the offer. Very shortly after, being solicited by parties anx- ious to have the law take its_course, friends of the womau imploved Mr. Cowin to defend her, and he consented. At that time 15, W. Sineral was county attorney, and drew up the information. It was thought, at one time, that the trial would take pluce in De comber, but neither side could pre- tond 'to be fully prepared, and consent the case was continued orm of the court. In the meantime Mr, Suneral's successor had been clected and the former retired. The papers were all turned _over to Mr, Mahoney, who has not been idle in his preparation to meet the issue. Realizing that the work was bound to be an_extraordinary task single-handed, General Cowin called ‘Judge Baldwin to as sist him, while the state's legal representa- tive has'as nis wds O.

A score ormore of witnesses have been summoned on both sides and the battle promises to be one of the hardest that has ever been fought in a Nebraska court, Other Cases. The United States National bank began suit against the Omaha Brick and Torra Cotta Manufacturing company, C. F. Good- man and F. D. Cooper, to recover $16,509. This rmount is due, it is claimed on several promissory notes, executed last November, ‘The jury in the case of Thomas I". Dupius against the American Express company, a suit to recover $250 on tho loss of a trunk which was shipped from St. Paul to this city, rendered a verdict for the defendant yesterday afternoon. The counsel for Louis Berghoff, recently tried on the charge of obtaining goods under false representations, filed a_motion in_the district court vesterday asking that Berg- hoff’s bail b reduced from $!,500 to §500. The prisoner can furnish this amount of sccurity for his appoaranos at his next trial and wants to get out of jail.

YANKTON, So. Dak,, April 2.—|Special to Tae OMAnA Bek |—The chiof engineer of the Omaha railroad company made an ex- amination of the grade between Washington, Neb., and Y ankton last week, and went from Yankton to St. Paul, no doubt to make a re- port of examination to the company. The neople of Cedar county insist that the con nection will be made at once and that a transfer also will be puton at Yankton to connect with the Northwest line hero for St Judg- *art of Paul and Duluth, It is not likely that the chief engineer of the company would make such an_exaumination at this season of the year and go 80 minutely into the inspection | of the telegraphy and lay of the land be- | tween the two points named unless there was some urgent need for it, and the gen- eral impression here, at Wishington and along the line 18 that the eighteen or twenty | miles botween the two places will be closed this season and the cars runaing by harvest time. ‘This done and the run from Omaha to Yankton can be made in seven or eight hours, and both cities will be largely bene- fitted 'by the dircot connection. ——— - Patriotic Leaguers on Tr Pamis, April 2.—Senator Naquet, Deputies Lagurre, Laisant and Turquet, and Paul Deroulde, leaders of the Patriotic league, were arraigned for trial before the correc: tional tribunai to-day.
