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. OASTOnTA. Bears the Kind You Have Always Bought Sig T re 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!’” A TEXAS WONDER. Hall's Great Discovery.
