Shortly after the negro took his seat Mrs Sheedy wus brought in. She wore the conventional colors of all women under such a charge, black, which color became her well. Siie was accompunied by her two sisters, Mrs, Dean of Lincoln, Mrs, Morgan of San Diego, Cal,, and J. W Biggerstaft of Boise City, Idano. Mrs y's attire was faultless in every detail. was nothing in Mrs. Sheedy’s facial expression, however, in havmony with the mourning robes sho wore.

When Mrs, Sheedy took her seat the clerk proceeded to summon & jury. Twelve wen were quickly called. Bach juror was closely questioned with reference to his ideas rei- ative to capital punishment or deterwined opinions and knowledge of the crime gasined from newspapers or hearsay reports, ete. The selection of the jury as it slowly progressed was watehed with keen interest by ail save the fair defendant, who displayed a wonderful composure, Her manner, while not caleulated to unduly impress an opinion of innocence, was rather of a negative char: acter and not to prejudice the mind either way. Her beauty, so much raved about during the preliminary examination, proves to nave been largely over-estimated. Itis not of the intellectual or demure kind but is more of the animal order. Her face indi- cates vindictiveness but not strength, while her eyes, though dark and lustrous, convey an idea of cunning rather than can- dor or confidence. Long confinement his bleazhed her faco and she is now unoaturally pule, rendored strikingly so by coutrast with her durk bonuet, veil and dress. The day was consumed by the attorneys i examining jurors, end nine out of eighteen candidates were delivered over to the baliff. Jt is not sure, however, that the nine will be retained. The attorneys for MeFarland still refuse to allow the negro to go on the stand and allege that Tue Bee has been brived to call public attention to this fact. e MARQUIS RUDINI'S NOTE, It Was flashed did the even she smiled and oyes idently I Consum WasHixaroy, May 4 ended for Ttalia n Onl It does not appear in the judgment of the state depariment \u'up!l' that the note of Marquis Rudini o the Marquis Tmperiali, who is cpresentative of Ttaly n the U published this morning, situation either for the better or worse.

All through the history of the strange murder of this woman a motive for the deed hus béen wanting, and this has baflied all persons working for asolution of the mys- tery. This motive was discovered beyond all veasonable doubt this: morning to be vob- bery. That the bundle of clothing left with the colored woman at Harlem by Crautz tz belongs to the murdered woman hus been proven, beyond @& doubt. Ihis bundle was @gain searched by Sheriff Letton in Liberty this morning and a detail herctofore sirangbly overlooked was discovered. On the waistband of the woman'’s underskirt the remuaut o1 a pocket was dis- covered. The pocket was nearly six inches square, and had cvidently been “attached by hand after the garment had been completed. That this was used to carry money is certai The face of the pocket hud been ripped, and inceed, nearly torn off.
