The Jury Panel Complete. SWEARING OF TKE JURORS. SPEECH OF CHARLES N. MANN, ESQ. Testimony Before the Court. X3tO.. XQtO. Etc.. JBtO.s XutO. Special Report for The Evening Telegraph. Long before tho hour lor the opening of ihe Court this morning, thousand of expectant individuals eongrepated around the entire extent of Indcp. Jid enoo Square, brut on catching a glance at tho fea tares of the murduicr Probst aa he omerged from the prison van and walked thiougti the main avenue of tho square to hts scat in tho prisoner's dock. Ytnteiduy morrmg the neighborhood ot tlio cor ner ot tiix-hand Chesnut streets was fairly packed with a deiiee multitude, who expected to seethe prisoner, be entered the court-room by tho Sixth street door, but thoy were a 1 disappointed, as the felon was quietly conducted to his p'ace by tuo same method used yesterday morning. Ihis morning, how erer.Sixrh and Chesnut streeta was entirely desortod, while on Walnut street, near the south entrance of the Equate, thousands wero fathered, It being pre corned that the van containing iho prisoner would 8'ep there, A.t exactly ha f-pnst 9 o'clock the van reached the south flute of the square and the pri soner al rh ted, and marched through two row of policemen into tho enc. enure ihe (rate was thon but, and Chiet Kuggles, having the prisonor in charge, followed by a itronir body ol police, pro ceeded up the avenue to the court-room. Evoiy spot of (rround, every eminence, every win dow, and every balcony in the neighborhood of the square that commanded a viow of. the main avenue was completely tilled with human beings, straining their eye and Jostling one another to catch a glimpse of the prisoner as ho walked through the square. The crowd on Walnut street, as soon as Probst emerged from the prison van, greeteu the wretch with groans, bhve, and execrations. Just before entering the door of tho oouri-room Probst was baited for a few minutes by Chief Bungles, is order that the crowd on Sixth street, who were peering through tho iron railings, might got a view of his face. Probst, being thus brought tace to face with a portion of the community ho has so brutally out raged, was again met with groans. He glanced hur riedly and timidly at the hundreds of eyes fixed on him in deadly hatred, and turned to Cbief Buggies with a supp.icatlng look, doubtless feeling relieved when in full occupation of his seat in the prisoner's dock. The prisoner presented a more haggard, careworn appearance this morning than at any time since bis arrest. His eyos watered, his cheeks were sunken and blanched, aud his faoowas colorless, with the exception ol the end ot bis nose, which had a rather rubicund appearance Life is beginning to be to him literally a bell on eaith, and eveiy hour be Uvos adds still more to the agonizing tormonts that rack his Tel soul. Cureos follow the child murderer every step he takes, and bis progress from the prison an to the court-room, and his return to his cell, tt axes him painfully conscious of the fact. In the court-room Probst seldom looks to the right or left, or, in tact, at anything or anybody in front of him. His eyes appear to be fixed on vacancy, as thoaeh he was engaged in a continued brown study. Be fears to meet the gaze of his fellow-men, and douotiess prefers the solitude of his cell at present to any other situation. A complete model of the promises occupied by the Souring family, made expressly for the use of the Proscouting Attornoy, was in Court this morning. The roof of the inoael of the barn, where tho mur dered bodies were found, lifts off, so that a correct bird's-eye view of tho interior can be obtained. The dwelling house, outiiouses, carriage bouse, fences, trees, etc., are all indioated in the model, and it will tieof material aislstanoe during the progress of the trial.

Gentlemen of the Jury An imperative sence of duty has led the Common wealth to cail this case for trial at an early day. it has been herotolore somewhat a reproach to our criminal Justice a con rested with that of other countries that it has been unnecessarily delayed) thai, reproach we desire to remove. This floudisli murder look place on Saturday, the 7th day ot April, lit t e over two weeks ago. Ih-re is to delay hero then. The spint ol bloody misohiet is again abroad. It must be severely aud promptly iebukod. 'caicclv had the public mind recovered irom the iinok of ono scone oi yulent death, scarcely had tlio a (flight produced by one doed ot blood subsided, who this bloody and inhuman wretch, whoever he was, on thi- threshold of au humble homo 1 1 a se cluded neighborhood, with one tell purpose crushed a vi ho'e lamily, aud with it the whole household of thHt family tatht-r and mother, with ttiolr tour children, the bound boy and guost of the household, the stalwart man and the infant la the cradlo, alt le I tcneath the brutal blows of a monster ; tho only one ol that lamily now left alive is ihe nuio boy W illie, who was not thore ready for the sacrifice bentlemon ot tho Jury The ime has come whon you, ts ministers of the law, must look this evil, tats appalling danger, In the faoe.and say by Tour ve diet, that, as far as lies in your power, justioe shall be done and the law vindicated. Would it not be reprehensible under these circum stances, and with these dangers around us, it we hud not caned this case tor speedy trial t It is my duty, in the opening of this case, to state the tuots and the law applicable to the tacts. Murder, in 17114, was divided by iho Legislature ot Pennsylvania into two aegrees murder ot tho first and murder of tho second degree. i ho facts in this cae show such a deliberate, wanton, and ctuel disregard of human lite, that you are re lieved from all considerations ot the different grados ol bomicido, exoept murder in tne first degree, which is dec ared to be ail kinds of murder perpetrated by means ot poison, or lying in wmt, or by any otuer kind of wiitut, deliberate, and premeditated klllinv, or v hich shall be committed in the peipetratiou, or attempt to perpetrate, any aison, rape, rob jory, or Lurglary. Tho facts and circumstances npon which Ihe Com monwealth rely lor u conviction ot the highest crime known to the law, 1 will state fulv and minutely. The house where this bruial nd fiendish murder took place is situated on Jones lane, about a quarter of a nilie from Point House road; it is in a loncy and obscure section of the city, no dwelling nearor than 160 or 200 yai da. In this humble home Christopher Dearing resided with his family, ai peace with all tho world. His leasehold consisted at the time ot this oocurrenco of eight persons hit wile, John and 1 homas, his two sons; little Annie, about four years old. There is a little cradle in a warm oosy kitchen, and rocked at intervals by tbe loving mother, a baby iourteen months old. Grieve not tor this child that it must keep the deep rest ot Sunday in sumo other world ; for wherefore should an orphan, whon once bereaved of lather and mother, linger upon an alien and murueroua earth f There is Cornelius Carey, an apprentice, seventeen years old, satisfied wiih his place, not overworked ; treated kindly, and avers that he was treated kindly by his master and mistrose. .Little Willie, the only one left of an entire house hold, was sont to his grandfather's somo time since, and thus escaoed the fate tuat would surely have beon his had he been at homo at the tiino of this murder. One other person completes this house hold. The only one (except Willie) now alive on this earth. A strancr who had been taken into it at bis own solicitation, ploidmg want and poverty, a shelterless conuition, and his need of work to sup ply his nccesitie. He bad been previously, for a short time, a mem ber of the lamily, and had been dismissed troui it because of womi thing In his manner and oonduct at wnich the lemale branch of it shuddered, the master of the house, Christopher, more out of charity than any need of bis services, bad taken him in, had diat with him liberally, and cared for hfm bountifully, and bad reposed in In Hi bis confidence, a confidence which the sup pliant bad sought lor no other purpose, apparently, thuu to repay oy a b ow, so tudden, so causeioes. so di adly, that we may woll pause to ask ourselves whether, by any conceivable possibility, tho.e can live in the bosom oi this man one single attribute commou to humanity one single human sensibility f Miss Elizabeth Oolan was not properly a motutier ot the lamily ; she was a visitor occasionally, aud un ion unately lor her,ehe selected this particular oatur day lor one ot her visits, Mr. .bearing's position in lue wus this; he was engugei with Sir. Mitonoll as a dealer in cattle; Mr. M.tchell finding tbe capital, and Mr. Dearing doing thu necessary work. Ihe i roHts were divided cauailv between them. On the morning of Saturday, the 7th day of April, he was in the neighborhood of Thirteenth and nouth streots, broviding for the wants oi his family. Shortly alter this, oeiween e aua o-uiock ne csuea on Mr. Mitchell, No, 1629 Arch street. He transacted some business, ana received a loon of ton dollars trom mm. He was last seen alive by any living Doing, except bis murderer, at Second and Mi film streets, by VIrs. Wilson, who saw Miss Uoian cettina into bis car riage and driving in the direction of the farm. To the larm he and Miss Dolan went, iuil, we may sup pose, ot delightful anticipations oi a joyous reunion in a happy home, with the loved ones there. Mps Dolan left her bome, in Burlington, by the seven o'clock boat for Philadelphia, biiuglng with ber two fifty-dollar and ono twenty-dollar compound interest notes; she bad them in a pocket-book which was in a black travelling-bag", she bad also with her a gold chain and some little toys, which, in tbe kind ness oi ner neart, sue was unuiriu to uie oiuiureu. Cornelius Carey, the first of these viotims that was killed, was last seen alive on Friday afternoon, work ing m tbe meadows with the prisoner. S'or several days nothing was seen of any of the family by any one, but as they bad few visitor aud kept to themse.ves, it attraoted little or ro atten tion. A neigh' or to v.hoso house Dearing had beon in tne habit of sending tor the papeit, was led m consequence of the lailure of any member oi the lamily to call lor them, to go over to the prem ses. Going into tbe stable he tound the horses in a state of starvation, neany dead from thust the pig in the pen so weak from hunger that it was nuate to rise. Admiulsteiing to the wants ot the dumb anima's. he went to the bouse and looked in from the window and found the toings in great disorder, scattered around the floor. He Immediately sent for a relative, who, going into the barn near tbe end of it, saw what he thought was a stocking sticking out from a heap ot bay, Out , on examination tound, to his horror, it was a bumaa toot. He icoked no lurther.but rushed to tne door and called Mr. Whet, who, immediately aummoutugald, uncovered the bodies, saw a horrible aud sickening sight man whom be recognized as Mr. Dearing, lying on the hay with his skull crushed in aud his throat cut, and a woman beside him, whom he did not know, with the tame character ot wounds. He immediately put himself in communication with the authorities. They came early in the after noon, and a curelul search was at once made for the rest of tbe missing family. In a little ono, eight feet by lour, at the rear end ol the barn, the mother and ber four little ones were found heaps. I together, not over a yard from the bodies of Mr Dearing and Mi.s Dolan. . 'Vain would be the attempt to convey tbe horror which thrilled the spectators at Ihis piteous sight Tbe mother with her skull completely mashed in; around and mmn her lav the Door little ones. The little babe, as it was In life, lav upon the mother's breast, fcuoh a sight as this would cause strong men to weep. No one incident, Indeed, throughout this whole atrocity so much envenomed tne popular tury aiialnut this rufli.n thia nieli-fll butcher? of the inlant. W as there no pity in tbe heart, was there no shuddering asthe wretch delioerately took that pure aad Innocent babe from the cradle, aud per haps as it smiled in his face, brained it? Tne two boys and little Annie were o'eside ber; they were not separated even in da.th. The murderer bad done pis work completely ; he put his mark upon i The workman shall be known by bis work. The marks noon the dead, the same kind of wounds, show conclusively that they were infllotod by an axe. or some instrument shaped like an axe, In the tuuid of the tame penva, Ail the former lunate ot the house were now found except tho boy Cor nel lis and the prisoner I wo hundred and uliy yarur. ur more irom tho house there is a .argj h.y r ck about lor.y feot long aud tveuty teot high; Pebitid this rick poor aiev was lounili thu death wniiLd ti. ot the tame charuotor as ihe others lie was str.ckeu down, his throat cut, and oon cta od on tne totith side of tn s rick.
