PITTSBURGH, March 14. A jury was quickly drawn todav in the trial of Rev. Dr. W. D.

McFarland. of Greenville, who was indicted in connection with the death in this city of his former secretary, Miss Elsie D. Coe, who died, it, is alleged, as the result of an illegal operation. lhe aged educator and minister, former principal of the Pittsburgh Central High School, conferred early with his lawyers, having come here fiom Tennessee, where he had charge of a United Presbyterian mission, without the formality of extradition. He expressed his confidence in an early acquittal.

Victim's Mother Dying Soon after the case opened word was brought to the court room that the aged mother of Elsie Coe would not appear as a witness, as it was feared she was dying at her little home in Frankstown avenue, to which she has been confined since the revelations in connection with her daughter's death. District Attorney Blakely, in his opening address, stated that after the operation charged against Dr. McFarland, a physician notified the coroner of Elsie Coe's condition, and a deputy coroner had been dispatched to take her ante-mortem statement, which, he declared, accused the defendant. Coroner S. C.

Jamison testified as to the investigation, and physicians were called to show the result of the autopsy. When court adjourned Dr. McFarland walked to where the district attorney was standing, and extending his hand, said: "How do you, do, Mr. Blakely?" Shakes Proiecntor'g Hand Blakely shook hands with him and was presented by the white-haired minister to his wife, who also shook hands with him, remarking, "I am pleased to meet you." Mrs. McFarland expressed the deepest concern for Mrs Coe, mother of the girl whose death her husband is accused of catisingr, and followed with tearful eyes the tall form of Lillian Coe, sister of the dead girl, as she entered the court room.

Leewright, a contractor, of East Hermit street, Rox-borough, were each held in bail for court yesterday by Magistrate Mac-Farland in the CentraL Court. Director of Supplies Herman Loeb, who sat beside Magistrate MacFarland during the hearing of fhe accused' trio, has ordered a rgid investigation to be made in order to determine the responsibility for the lax methods alleged to have been responsible for the loss of coal with wfiieh Henderson and Company have contracted to supply the Queen lane filtration plant and the Belmont filtration plant and pumping station. Leevyright, who is a son of John R. Leewright, the contractor who was involved in the Bullitt-Sterr ca.se last year, said last nisht that the case resolved itself into one of three drivers turning thieves, and that the sum total of coal that had been stolen amounted to comparatively few tons. The accused drivers are George Boyle.

38 years old, of .3447 Fernon street; George Nickleson. 38 years old, of Mana-yunk; and Patrick Brogan, 18 ears old, of 4 liti Lexington avenue, Roxborough. When questioned by Magistrate MacFarland during the hearing given them yesterday each admitted having sold a ton of coal which had been intrusted to each to drive to the Queen lane reservoir. Forced to Hnnl Coiil Samuel B. Crowell, a member of the firm of Henderson Company, who testified at the hearing, explained that last year the company had been able to ship coal by the carload direct to the Queen Lane reservoir, as there was a railroad siding there then.

At that time Jobn R. Leewright held the contract with the company for hauling coal consigned by it to the city. Since January" 1 Lee-wright's son had held a similar contract and, with the abolition of the siding, had been forced to haul the coal from the Chelten Avenue Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Germantown to the Queen Lane plant. Mr. Crowell said that the coal Boyle.

Xic-kleson and Brogan had stolen and sold had not been paid for by the citv, and that he had already notified Leewright that he would be held responsible for its loss. He denied that there had been any considerable discrepancy between the weight of a consignment of coal according to the railroad scales and those of the city. He admitted that there usually existed a difference, however, between the railroad and city weight, but never more than 2 per cent. He also stated that there had been a loss of coal valued at $51, representing about ten tons, in the transfer of coal last month from the railroad siding at Bala to the Belmont filtration plant, and that he 'had informed Leewright that he would have to make good for it. He said that there might have also been a loss of coal in the hauling of it by Leeright's men from Wynnefield Station to the pumping station at George's Hill, but that he did not believe that any great quantity of it had disappeared.

Method Employed The method employed by Boyle, Xick-leson and Brogan, according to the ad-misions the police assert they have made, was to drive away with a wagon load of coal and dispose of it to a householder for Each denied, however, that ho had disposed of more than one ton of coal in this way.

In reply to their congratulations, the King said: At first I noticed nothing.

I was 'ooking ut of the carriage window at the olloiiade Church, on the left, when I leard. two shots. I had no thought that was an attempt against my life. eene A most touching; scene occurred between King Victor Emmanuel and his mother, the Dowager Queen Margarita. She had arrived at the Pantheon and was waiting for the coming of the sir majesties.

When King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Elena came in they gave no hint of what had occurred. All assisted at the mass, and when it was over the King himself announced to his mother that an attempt had been made on his life. Queen Margarita appeared almost stunned. Slie stood still and looked over the King from head to foot a-s though to make sure that he was unharmed. Then she threw ier arms around his neck and kissed him on both cheeks.

According to Italian law, Dalba, not yet being of full age, cannot be condemned to penal servitude for life.
