TRIAL ded his head. He drank the water greedily. Then he pulled out his handkerchief, passed it across his lips and settled back again in an cary attitude in bis chair. He didn’t seem indifferent, nor did he appear to be trying to assume an air of bravado, but rather would have been picked out as one of the interested spectators In the room. When Mr. Lewis was cross-ques- tioning Dr. Gaylord, Mr. Ladd whis- pered to the old lawyer, who suddenly asked, “Is it true, did you say that At the autopsy you found a cancerous growth in the body of the President?” “No, sir, I did not.” Dr. Myater's Testimony. When Dr. Gaylord left the stand, Dr: Herman Mynter, the famous sur- formed the operation upon President McKinley, took the stand. Dr. Mynter, in answer to questiona by “District-Attorney Penney, sald that when he arrived at the hospital in the Exposition grounds he exam- ined the Prestdent and said to him: “Mr. Mek: operation F life.” ‘The President acquiesced, tinued the surgeon, ‘ 5 present and t have as good a must be wn to ley, ther: immediately anve con- laborer on these gron: “Then Dr. Mann came.

We decided to move him to the house of Mr. Milburn, where he died.” Dr. Mynter told of the condition of Mr. McKinley from that day for the next six days, saying that It was flattering.

OF THE PRESIDENT’S tell plainly what caused the Preal- dent's death. The witness stated that the death , <Was caused by the gun-shot wound. Why Ballet Wasn't Found. Mr, Titus, who took the witneas in hand, asked why, when the operation Was first performed, the bullet was not found and taken out. “It would have been necessary to make an incision fully ten Inches in length and to take out the inf&s- tines to have made that search,” re- , pliet Dr. Mynter. ' “The President was already under ) the Influence of shock, and had that attempt been made he would have died on the table.” The cross-examination of Dr. Myn- ter was thorough and skilful. One point Mr. Titus was exceeding- Jy anxious to make plain To bring out for his own satisfaction what caused the infection of the wounds and what produced the gan- krenous condition which ~ Meath. Dr. Mynter sald that, though called Qs an expert, there were things that he didn’t know, and that in all his Practice of tw -two years he had { never before seen a case similar to that of the distinguished patient— that it was not natural for gangrene to set in following » gunshot wound, and that it was a mystery to him. caused Dr. Mann’s Operation. Dr. Matthew D. Mann, the chief surgeon, who handled the knife at the first operation, was sworn. He told of opening the abdomen of the President. He took out the stomach and found an opening. ‘That was sewed up. Then some of the fatty tissue was cut away and the stomach turned over, and another opening Jarger than the one in front was made, It was closed up and washed. “Then [ inserted my hand and made @ search for the track of the bullet,” said Dr. Mann, “but it was fruitless. The manipulation of my hand in the aperture was having a bad effect upon the patient, and I desisted.” Then Dr. Mann told of «the ar- Tangements made by Dr. Rixey for caring for the President while he Was in Mr. Milburn’s residence. Dr. Mann said that the death of the President was caused by the gun-shot wound, and when that point Was placed on official record the case Was adjourned until 10 o'clock to- POrTOW. morning. ‘Then the Court, the jury, ‘Then went the prisoner and his guards and the door was again shut, Nolding the crowd back until the 52) prisoner wes again well on bis way PRESSIVE | the eGunsel and court officials passed out. | » 2.

As they vere seated a hush fell upon the assembly, then a& buzz of excitement as Justice K ert C. Titus, followed closely by his snow-haired colleague, Justice Lorat: I.

It ix the most unpleasant task of this man’s long and honorable legal ca- reer, this defending the assassin of President MeKinley, and he and hie venerable associate showed pi y by their appearance how utterly dis tasteful is the duty placed upon them.

He rested one hand nervously on the back of the chair of Justice Lewis. “You are charged with the crime of murder in the fest degree in shooting and causing the death of William = MeKinley,”” read District- Attorney Penney. “How do you Plead?” The murderer did not answer, There was a hush in the court, and Justice Lewis arose. Then the lps of the prisoner moved, “The prisoner Is about to speak,” suld Justice White from the bench. Justice Lewis sat down, “Guilty. “Do you understand the charge?" asked the District-Attorney, “I do,” said the assassin in a low but firm voice. ‘And how do you plead to the al- logation that on Sept. 6 you shot William McKinley?" “Guilty!” said the murderer, But the rlea could not be accep’: 1, as counsel had previously entered a plea of not jullty, The assassin again took a se de questioning of talesmen was reeime Frederick N.

He wagged h cad and said that he had formed his opinion “~--d and hard” as to the guilt or Innocence of the acsassin. He finally believed that he could listen to the evidence, and If there was a r. sonable doubt give it to the defendant, and Justice Lewis accepted him. ‘The questions asked by Mr, Lewis, for the defense, of nearly all of the talesmen were particularly directed toward the fact of whether or not they were present In the Temple of Music at the time of the crime. As the case proceeds the point that becomes evident 1s the anxiety of both sides to secure a jury without delay. It was barely 11.15 o'clock, bu already four men had been secured. Prosecution and defense seem will- ing to question the jurors briefly and to accept them whenever. they show a glimmering of reason. Assembly- man George Riel, a barber, who Is a clever fellow, was evidently desirous of serving, so anxious, in fact, that he was soon excused by the defense, Mr. Milburn tn Court. At 11.30 o'clock John G, Milburn entered the court. It was at hie houso that President McKinley died and his: presence excited almost as much interest as did the entry of the prisoner. A half dozen men grasped! the President of the Exposition by the hand, and then he took a seat, adjusted his glasses and stared long and. earnestly at the assassin, on whose face he had last looked on the fatal day when the Anarchist’s bul- let had sent the Prestdent reeling back into his arms. Mr. Milburn studied the features of the prisoner earnestly for some moments, and his face was sad and hard as he looked. At 11.30 o'clock the fifth juror chosen was James S. Stygall, jr, a plumber. Again the President of the Exposition whirled and stared at the assassin as he stood erect to face Stygall. The murderer turned his eyes once and caught the look of Milburn. If there was any recogni- tion he made no sign. He returned the stare calmly. It war exactly 11.45 o'clock when the sixth juror was accepted in the Person of William Loton, a farmer, who gave his home address as Eden. It had taken about one hour and three-quarters to secure half of the jury. Recess at Noon. Shortly before 12 o'clock Mr. Lewis, immediately after the acceptance of Benjamin Ralph as the seventh juror, requested that the case here- after continue from 10 o'clock in the morning until 12 noon and from 2 in the afternoon until 4. That was because the aged attorney found it necessary to leave the city each afternoon at 4.40 o'clock, and he deems {it necessary to hold a confer- ence with his colleague each day. District-Attorney Penney accepted the suggestion and Justice White stated that such would be the order of procedure, His Unshaken Opinion, Herman B. Tauber, a local railroad clerk, was next called, but as he had expressed a firm pinion of the case, he also was excused by the Court, Dennis T, O'Reilly, a Hfe insurance agent for thirty years in Buffalo, formed an opinion af the care but ‘had |. had not expressed {t to any one. His opinion could be changed by the evi- dence. He was excused by the People. Wallace A. Butler, a farmer of Sar- dina, had formed a definite opinion as to the guilt of the prisoner and said that the evidence would have to be convincing to raise a reasonable doubt In his mind, Judge Lewis ac- cepted Butler as competent, but he was excused by the Court. ‘Frank J. Litz, a clerk, had not formed an opinion. He was confused by the questions of the counsel and made several contradictions. He was excused by the defense. Had Exp Michael McGloin, a carpenter, was also excused by the. people because he had expressed an opinion on the case. William ‘Loton, a farmer at Edon, was chosen as the sixth juror at 11.43 o'clock. George Kuhn, a baker, of Buffalo, born in Germany, but a citizen of this country for twenty-five years, was next called. His opinion of the guilt of the prisoner, he sald, was so firmly established that no evidence could change it, and he was excused by the Court. John Delliott, a Grand Island agri- culturist, was opposed to capital pun- iohment and was challenged by the People. An adjournment until 2 o'clock was announced. There was a niovement by the crowd to get out of the court in order to see the prisoner as he came out. The Sheriff put a stop to the contemplated rush, and the po- Nce, deputy sheriffs and tipstaves ASSASSIN BEGINS.

Lewis and Titus, District-At- torney Penney and Assistant District- Attorney Haller, went out first. Close behind walked the prisoner. Again he was hancuffed to Geary and Solo- mon and preceded by Mr. Cusack, who placed his hat upon his head. He walked down the main aisle of the court through the hundreds of men who strove to get near him for a closer Inspection. When he was out of the court the doors were shut and the crowd in the room was held back until the officers had hurried him to the bage- ment of the City Hall and were well on the underground journey to the jail through the Tunnel of Sobs. The second man called after’ re- convening of court was Samuel P. Waldo. He was accepted, making the ninth juror. i ASSASSIN WANTED TO MAKE SPEECH. (Special to The Evening World.) BUFFALA, Sept. —The assassin hac lost none of his composure dur- ing the noon hour. He made no move, and that fact caused one to believe that something of great im- pertance had been lost forever. He wished to make a speech th's morning.
