THE JURY SELECTION DIFFICULT I
Many Called For Examination Were Op
posed to Capital Punishment and
Others Said They Had Opinions
That Evidence Could Not
Change,
Pottsvlllo, Juno 27. The second day of tho
trial of Thomas Kronnan, who shot and
killed llarry Elliott, at Now Philadelphia 011
June 2 last, was mainly occupied in securing
a jury. When courtadjnurned at flvo o'clock

gist, 'lamaqua; Otto Schneider, miner.

City; Darby Hums, laborer, Mahanoy City.
William Sobey, of .Ashland, was tho last
ono called. He said ho had read of tho
murder and expressed an opinion which tho
evidence could not change. After replying
to several questions by tho lawyers, tho court
then asked : "Do you mean to say that what
you read in the papels would havo more
weight than tho aworn testimouy of wit
nesses?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Then
you aro not fit to serve on tho jury; you are
excused." said tho court. William Neis-
weutor, of Shenandoah, was amoni? tlm
jurors called yestorday afternoon and s.ild ho
uau roraied an opinion that ho did not tklnk
could be changed. He was excused. Many
of tho jurors wero unable to grasp tho mean
ing of the questions asked by tho counsel
and Judge Bechtel would then patiently ox
amino them as to their fitness.
TO-DAY'g rHOCEEDlNGS.
Few persons were iu attendauco when the
case was re-opened this morning. Tho prose
cution's counsel was added to by tbo presence
01 Assistant District Attornoy McLaughlin.
Much comment is heard on the appearanco
of tho prisoner. He does not look like ono
who would commit a murder: in fact ho has
a mild mannered expression and appears to
bo highly sensitive, one who might brood
over an injury.
William M. Foulk. hotolkeener nf Pntt.
villo, was tho first juror called. His answers
wcro satisfactory and ho wasaccenteil n tlm

Commonwealth.
Frank Oorthor. a liveryman of Mlnnm.

doah. Excused.
Walter Murphy, of Schuylkill townsbin.
tho sixty-third juror, was1 called and 6tood

upon the strength of his oath. Ho was chal

doab, held an opinion and was not sure that
ho could get the bettor of it. Excused.
Patrick Murphy, of St. Clair, was opposed-
to nanging and said tho opinion would iu-
liuouco him iu the Jury box. Tho District
Attorney challenged him.
Timothy Flynn, a farmer of Rush town-
ship, had no opinion, but asked to bo ex
cused becauso of his ago and health. Both
sides wanted him and Judgo "Bechtel refused
to excuse him. Ho was sworn as tho seventh
juror.
Charles Relth, a moulder of Pottsvillo,
held an opinion that would not inlluenco
him. He was sworn as the eighth juror.
James O. Farley, a hotolkeeper of Tamaqua,
know tbo deceased and accused in tho caso.
and had formed an opinion which he believed
would inlluence him. Excused.
Thomas 0. O'Connor, editor of tho Maha
noy City Daily Record, was called and, pend
ing the arrival of the train hearing the juror.
there was a lull in tho proceedings which was
taken advantage of by counsel for both sides
to consult with their clients and others
interested. At 11:45 o'clock Mr. O'Connor
appeared and took the stand. He had formed
an opinion and it would bo dlfljcult to change
it. He could, however, render a verdict in
accordance with the evidence, but could not
find a verdict In tho first degree, as he is
opposed to capital punishment. To Mr.
Urumm he explained it was a matter of
conscience with him; in fact a matter of
right, or wrong. Ho could not vote for
hanging. Excused,
Louis Reed, a laborer of Foster townshiD.
had an opinion, but answered the questions
of both sides with satisfaction and was sworn
in as tho ninth juror.
At this stage of th,o proceedings Clerk
Dully reported tho Jury panel exhausted and
tlio court ordered that those stood aside bo
recalled.
Jacob Hess, laborer, Minersville. had no
scruples on capital punishment. Ho was
passed by tho District Attorney, but Mr,
Brumm challenged him peremptorily.

John Moran, of Oirardville, held an
opinion, but said It would not Inlluenco him
In arriving at a verdict.
By tho District Attorney : "Do you know
of anything that would prevent you from
rendering a truo and Just verdict In this
caso ?"
Tho Juror: "I do not."
Mr. Boohtcl : "Swear tho Juror."
Mr. Brumm : "Yituaroabrotherof Deputy
District Attorney Moran, are you not?"
A. "Yes. sir."
Mr. llrumm : "Wo will oxen so you."
Thomas O'Connor, contractor of Hecksher
vllle, sworo ho could render a verdict in
accordance with tho evidence. Tlio Com
monwealth snld "swear," but tho defenso
had him excused.
James Council, minor of Norwegian town
ship, had conseieutious scruples agniust
onpitsl punishment. He was opposed to
banging. Mr. urnmm asked if ho could not,
regardless of theso scruples, exercise his
rights, mid requirements as a citizen, and
render a verdict accordingly. Ho said lie
would pay duo regard to his oath, If sworn,
and do his duty.
By Mr. Bechtel : "Would you find tho de
fendant guilty if tho ovidonco warranted it.
and if you knew tbo penalty would bo the
taking of human lifo? '
Mr. Brumm objected to tho form of tho
question and it was changed somewhat.
Tho juror answered : It would bo hard
to solvo that." Ho was questioned by Judgo
Bechtel and replied that ho could hardly find
for capital punishment, and Judgo Bechtel
excused him, nn oxceptlon being granted to
Mr. Brumm.
Michaol Manion, of Mechanicavillo, had an
opinion and would rather not servo on the
also. Ho could, however, render a vordlct
according to tbo evidenco and his oath. He
was passed by tho District Attornoy. To
Mr. Brumm tho juror replied that ho had
oxpresscd an opinion qulto a positive one
at homo. Ho bellcvod he could give fair
play but strong ovidenco would bo required
to overcomo his opinion. Ho then asked to
bo excused becauso of his health.
District Attornoy : "How long has It been
since you wero confined to your bed ?"
A. "Last night."
This sally caused considerable laughtor.
Judge Bcchtol then said the challenge for
oauso was dismissed and tho only question
was as to tho juror's health. Ho then.
at 12:40 o'clock, adjourned tho caso until 2
o'clock.

Burko, Cass township; John McOlone, Nor
wegian township, and Patrick Coogan, Nor
wegian township, wcro challenged for vari
ous reasons by tho prosecution and defenso.
John Brennan, of Rnilly township, said
strong ovidenco would bo required to alter
his conception of tho caso, and he was
challenged for causo by tho Commonwealth,
John Carroll, of Tamaqua, was asked by
Mr. Brumm a question tending to bring out
his opinion as to tho grade of the killing if
be bolioved it was done by the prisoner. Tho
District Attorney objected and Mr. Brumm
said ''Let us supposo a caso. Of courso all
tho jurors beliovo tbo killing was done :
they can't divest themselves of it; but if it
comes to a question of the grado of tho kill
ing, whether of tho first or second degree,
the question is if that opinion would inter
fere with their rendering a fair verdict."
Judge Bechtel thought the question would
tend to bring out the opinion of tho jurors.
In answer to another question by Mr.
Brumm tho juror said "From the reports I
hink him guilty." Tbo witness said ho
could not change his opinion, except on strong
ovidence, and he was challeuged for cause by
tho Commonwealth.
Michael Donahoe, bartender of Miners
ville, gave satisfactory answers and was
sworn as tho eleventh juror.

London, Juno 27. Tho correspond
ent of The Daily News at Tho Hague
says: "Tho German delegates today
privately Informed tholr colleagues
that they had received Instructions to
accopt tho principle of a permanont
tribunal of arbitration as outlined in
tho Anglo-American plana. This and
tho speech of Colonel Gross Vou
Schwarzhoff, plainly Intimating that
Germany had made up her mind
agatnst tho Russian Idea of disarma
ment and had reached tho conclusion
that tho time had arrived to toll the
world so, aro tho two great events of
tho whole conference. Neither has
been published as an official act of tho
German government, hut everybody
knows that Germany will not recede
from the position thus taken up.
"Yesterday I interviewed many dele
gates, somo friendly to Germany,
othors hostile. Thoy woro unanimous
In declaring tho Schwarzhoff speech a
smashing blow, pulverizing tho argu
ment of General Don Deer I'oortuegal
and Colonel JUlnskl. Tho effect was
tremendous within the conference
when Schwarzhoff pointedly exclaim
ed: 'Germany Is not ruined. On tho
contrary, her wealth, contentodness
and standard of life (ho used those
English words) are dally Increasing.'
"Altogether his speech was tho great
est sensation of tho conference hither
to, nobody expecting Germany to re
ject the Russian proposals In so
brusque and unconditional a manner."
"When the disarmament proposals
camo on the first feeling of most of
the members was to reject everything
forthwith. M. Do Stoal, seeing this,
went up to tho chairman and asked
him to proposo a sub-commltteo. On
tho division all the dolegates voted for
tho postponement of tho consideration
ot military disarmament until after
the report of the sub-committee, ex
cept thoso of Germany and Austria,
who voted for Its Immediate consider
ation, which would have meant Im
mediate rojection. The Swiss dele
gato abstained from voting, and tho
United States at first sided with Ger
many, but Captain Crozler was finally
talked ovor, and ho voted with the ma
jority. "Colonel Gross Von Schwarzhoff
spoke for ovor half an hour with over
powering frankness. His speech was
considered admirable, and the mem
bers of tho conference predict that ho
has a future. Ho said tho reduction
of peace forces in no way Implied a
corresponding reduction of offensive
power. These forces might be kept
stationary and a country still bo in
creasing Its offenslvo power. Length
of military service, service by deputy,
railways, rapidity of mobilization and
economical conditions wero all factors
making up tho military strength of a
country, and to take one term only of
tho problem and to argue that reducing
rorces an round would leave tho vari
ous countries on the same relative foot
ing toward one another as beforo, how
ever plauslblo it might appear to an
outsider, was to tho military expert
so manifest an absurdity that ho (tho
spoaker) wondered it had been put
forward, presumably in earnest.
"Tho Russians. ho said, 'call BU
berla a colony, but in an European
war they would bring every Siberian
regiment to Europo by rail.'
"When the Gereman delegate sat
down everybody thought 'what will tho
poor Russians say,' and tho reply of
Colonel VJllinskl showed that they woro
lamer than ever. Indeed, ono notice
ablo feature of tho conference Is tho
utter Inferiority of tho Russians In do-
bate. Perhaps It. U only an accident,
but not a single member of the Rus
sian delegation, Professor De Martens
not excepted, seems able to fight a
controversy before a couple of dozen
persons. The Russian caso may bo
strong or weak, but they do not appear
to know their brief. This has struck
even the neutral delegates. If military
uiBarmament, naits, naval disarmament
