with Mrs. (). A. Coleman, who has for

PET STKAHAN
ON. TRIAL
Her Husband Convicted, She
Goes Into the Dock.
New York. Dec. 20.—(Sneeial.) —It were
easier for a camel to pass through the eye
of a needle than to find a man who has
not heard of the Moore “badger” trial; it
were much easier for an elephant to pass
through than to find a man who has not
heard of rhe wonderful blandishments and
alleged beauteous hypnotic eyes of Fayne-
Strahan Moore. This made the difficulty
which faced Recorder Goff in the criminal
branch of the court of general sessions
vesterday, when “Pet” Strahan, of At
lanta’s society, was placed on trial under
indictment for “badgering” Martin Ma
hon. It was responsible for rhe presence
in the court room and about the great
oaken doors of the regular panel of 100
men and a special panel of 150 others. It
provided a case of many are called, but
few are chosen, but it was not responsible
for the packed hallways, where women
stood for an hour to get a glimpse of
Fayne Strahan-Moore.
It was 11:43 o'clock when Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Mclntyre, leaning over rhe
bar railing called with severity: “Fayne
Strahan-Moore to the bar.”
“William A. E. Moore to the bar,”
shouted a court attend ant. The convict
ed badger arrived first. He looked hagt
gard. He stood at the prison railing and
looked anxiously at Recorder Goff while
he was asked what be had to say why
sentence should not be passed upon him.
At this juncture Mrs. Moore entered.
She wore a simple black velvet hat with a
spray of black feathers rising to the root
and a rosette of yellow ribbon underneath.
Her dress was of bottle green velvet stuff,
trimmed with heavy black braid and
splashed with red at the yoke, font and
back. Her hair was coiffured in the pre
vailing fashion, with two small curls
dangling beneath the knot. She smiled
pleasantly at her counsel, Mr. Hill, and
shook hands with him. Her demeanor
was entirely modest. She did not look at
the prospective jurymen. Her hypnotic
efforts were not at all in evidence.
The pretty young woman who is to un
dergo a trial such as no woman like, her
ever endured before, entered the room
with smile on her face, her eyes dancing
and a step light and graceful as a gazelle’s
The fact that her husband had been con
victed of the heinous crime for which she,
100, was to be judged by a court and jury,
had no visible effect on her. She is de
fended by Mr. Levy and Benjamin Hill,
of Georgia, who has been here ever since
the beginning of her husband’s first trial,
to look 'after her interests.
The same testimony as was introduced
in Moore’s trial will be submitted again
with some additional evidence, ‘if the fair
defendant should take the stand in her
own defense. It is probable she will not.
At least the intention of her counsel now
is to excuse her from testifying. -
Moore will not be sentenced until Friday
next. Mr. Levy asked that sentence be
deferred so that Moore’s re’atives could
have time io come to New York. Moore
was accordingly remanded until Friday.
He walked back to the prisoner's doorway
with a firm and rapid stride.
Just before the name of the first tales
man was called Mr. Levy moved that Mr.
Hill be admitted to the privilege of prac
ticing at the bar. Mr. Mclntyre sec
onded the motion and the recorder wel
comed Mr. Hill. The latter then moved
that, in view of the approach of Christ
mas, the first twelve talesman be accepted
as the trial jury.
Mr. Mclntyre objected and the talesmen
were examined as usual as to their quali
fications.
No women were admitted to the trial
and Mrs. Moore was alone with al! those
men. not a seat in the room being vacant.
The diamonds she wore in her ears when
she first appeared at Moore’s trial were
absent today.
Mr. Levy, for the defense, in question
ing the talesmen asked them if they knew
Proprietor Boldt or any one connected
with the management of the. Waldorf-
Astoria. This was prompted probably be
cause of the charge that in Mrs. Moore’s
trunk some silverware belonging to the
Waldorf-Astoria was found after the ar
rest of herself and husband for robbing
Martin Mahon.
Mr. Mclntyre asked every one if he had
read of the Moore trial; if the result of
that trial would affect his verdict and if
the sex'of the present defendant would
influence him.
Many talesmen were excused for reas
ons. such as having formed opinions from
reading the newspapers, having had ex
perience of similar nature to the case in
hand, etc.
At 2:47 Joseph S. Peden, general in
spector of the American Wringer Com
pany. was accepted as the foreman of the
jury, after much questioning. When the
case was adjourned at 5 o’clock four ju
rors had been seated as follows: Joseph S.
Peden, age fifty-four, has three children;
William H. Cornet, age fifty-six, married,
one child: Francis J. -Collum, age thirty
five. married, three children; Sigmund
Galicenstein, age fifty-four, married, three
children.
Nothing of a startling nature transpired
during the examination nor that of the
talesmen rejected. The case will be re
sumed at 10:30 o'clock this morning.

A SCHOOL YELL.
“Every school, business or otherwise,”
says the Philadelphia Record, “has to a
certain extent, imitated college customs,
but a genuine novelty in this line has been
sprung on the public. The pupils of a
barber school indulged in a little ’blow
out' recently, and during the evening
some ingenious youth proposed that they
should adopt a college yell. The sugges
tion made a big hit, and after a lively dis
cussion a cry was gotten up which suited
every one. Later in the evening pedes
trians were startled when a crowd of mer
ry youngsters passed along shouting:
“ ‘ ’Rah’ ’'Rah! 'Rah! We're scalpers, by
gum!
Haircut, shampoo, shave, bayrum!
Next! Next! Next!’”
