(Special to The Rvening World From Staff Cor Feapontent..,) MINEOLA, lL. 1, June 9%—Dr. Walter Keene Wilkins was placed on | trial here to-day for the murder of his wife, Julia, before Justice David 8. Manning in the Supreme Court. Eighteen talesmen of a panel of forty- eight were examined before the noon recess and one juror had been found among them four other jurors were Picked this afternoon. The sixty-year-old Manhattan physician, who is accased of killing his wife on the night of Feb. 27 last, at their Long Beach home, camte into court the picture of ruddy, white- whiskered health. He had allowed his ®eard to grow since he shaved it) off during his brief disappearance before his arrest in March, But he chop whiéker style. The beard and mustache were fairly closely trimmed. Dr. Wilkins beamed generally through this eye glasses. He wore the black cutaway and gray trousers which he said he was wearing when Mrs. Wilkins was killed. His counsel presented a signed statement from the doctor reading as follows: my enforced confinement. I have a clear conscience and faith in God, and I am in excellent health.” District Attorney Weeks announced he would call forty-five or fifty of the sixty-five witnesses the State has under subpoena, Charles N. Wysong, former district attorney of this county, said he expected to call as many witnesses as Mr, Weeks, In examining the first talesman, Charles H. Wright of Bayville, a car- penter, builder and caretaker of the Oyster Bay Publle Baths, District At- torney Weeks asked particularly if Wright had a prejudice against hired detectives or against circumstantial evidence, Wright was successfully challenged by Mr. Weeks because he said it would take more evidence to find a man guilty of murder than of burglary. Robert J, ‘Hendrickson, a signal man of the Long Island Railroad in the main tower at Jamaica, was ex- cused by Justice Manning after he had told the Justice he must work nights if he eat on the jury in the daytime or go unpaid. Gottlied H. Morris, a post office clerk of Lynbrook, the sixth tales- man, was the first who was not excused before Mr. Wysong had chance to question him. He said he had not seen the Coney Island ‘re- production” of the Wilkins murder. Mr. Wysong indicated the defense was going to set up “exccilent pre- vious reputation” on behalf of the penevolent looking defendant Mr. Morris said his only for not wanting to serve was “in case the jury might be locked up.” Justice Manning announced the jurors would not be locked up until the case Was committed to them, Morris was challenged by the defense a reason ~| cause he was @ neighbor and friend per|® of Carman Plant, the county detec- | tive.

According to Finerty, the anarchist killed in Washington was without a doubt Louis Lazdue, alleged radical, who had been living at Bessemer for several months, Finerty said the identity of Las- due had been established by the de- scription of the clothes given him by the Washington police and by the finding of an automatic revolver. The revolver found near the body of the man killed in Washington had the same serial number as the one owned by Lazdue, Finerty declared Lazdue left Besemer on the evening of May 27 for the East, Finerty added, “Since Jan, 5 the anarchists have been gathering here and holding warned them that a plot was in for- mation, A Federal officer was here to investigate, but only remained one day. “Since that time, ation of the Stats tempted to kev with the co-oper- » & watch on the ac- |aliens.” | Finerty declared he was powerless ake arrests or ¢l al- n up the J anarchists in his community without outside ald.
