The long ex pected trial of Alfred John Monson, a tutor oharged with tha murder of Lieut. Windsor Dudley Cecil Hambrough, opened this morning in tha sheriff's court, before Lord Kingsburgh, lord justice cle of Scotland.

Tbe trial just oommeooed involves the solution of what known as the "Ardlamont murder mystery. and dates from August last, when Lieutenant Uetubrougb ess found dead from a guoabot wound. In a wood near Ardls mont bouse, near Ardlamont bay, one of the loveliest parts of the Clyde at tne entrance of toe famous Kyle of Bute, and about twenty minutes steam from the loveliest seaside resort in Scotland. The number of witnesses and re porters present in oourt Jhis morning was so great that very few of the public were admitted, and those who managed to gnt in tide were relegated to three rows of seats at the back of ths gallery. Tha body of the oourt was divided up into the press' side, tha witnesses' side end a portion was set apart for tha artists of many papers desirous of illustrating tha incidents of the trial.

Tbe trial of Monson is of special Interact to all Ule losurance companies, especially to the Mutual Life Insurance company, which is interested to the extent of 1100,000, as it hsd two policies of $50,000 each on tha lieutenant's life. polioiea which are aaid to have been secured through Monson. Monson, tbe prisoner, is a short, slim. very young looking, clean shaven, vary gentlemanly man. Be waa thoroughly composed and wore a long, dark brown overcoat, from tha breast pocket of which a light silk handkerchief was tastefully plsoed.

Tha lord Justine addressed tbe pris oner in a strong, low, monotonous voice, which oould be heard distinctly In every part of tha court roonx saying: 'You have already pleaded 'not Jtnuty to tbe charges brought against you. Do yon adhere to this plea of not guilty Monson, the prisoner, then arose from bis seat In tbe dock, and turning to wards tha lord justice he said In a clear and eteady voice, I do, my Tbe work of selecting a jury to try the prisoner waa than quiokly pro ceeded with and fifteen "good and true men were soon obtained and sworn to do their duty. The prisoner was noticed to watch the selection of the fury with the keenest attention not a movement, an expression or a word upon tha part of any of the jurymen escaped him and ha eagerly scanned their faces ss they took seats in tha jury box, evidently, weighing over In his mind his chances of convincing one and ail of tha jurymen of his inno tha note. He asks that President Cleveland and other public man be made parties to the suit. FINANCIAL, MATTERS.

Tha first witness railed was James a civil engineer, who with the aid ol a map gave a lull description of tbe Ardlamont house and tbe ground aurrouuding It Mr. Brand alo gave In the moat minute detail the measure, moots of the distance from place to place where the body was found to tbe various trees and to tbe surrounding spots. Much importance seemed to ba attaahed to the evidence of Civil Engineer Brnd. His cross examination developed the fnt that this examination uf tbe around waa made two months alter the death of Lieutenant Hamhrouub and that all Information In regard to where tbe body was found came from the others.

Tbe civil engineer waa also examined at length as to tha nature of the top of tha dyke, near which tbe body was found, tha defense evidently trying io show that it necessary to walk with tha greatest care in the spot in order to prevent tailing.

R. Blttenger, tbe attorneys of Hugh Crye, who was convicted In the circuit court of manslaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years for killing Leon idea Boyer, send Tm Sekvisbl the following in reply to the criticisms made concerning the verdict in the case: KdllOrBKaTTINXI I view of the unjust eriticiama made by newspapers on tbe verdiot reodered tbe Hugh Crye case, we, as the attorneys fur tha defend an that it M. pur sLatl, as.lRct of jusUce.Jo.the jury who rendered th verdict, to briefly state tbe facts In tbe case Before doing so It is proper to stale who oomposed the jury. It' consisted of Charles GriebM, Calvin Winch, Jamea Smith, Martin Metcalf, Franklin P. Otto, Marion Smith, Joseph Burricr, John Valentine, John Rapp, William J.

Reddln, Julee Gerard and Jamea II anion. The three first named reside In the oily, while all tbe others are farmers Eight of tbe jurors are members of the regular panel. Every juror was a man of property. Influence, intelligence and honor and justly enjoy the respect of all who know them, A more inteUT gent and honorable body of men never acted as jurors In this oounty. To charaoteris these men as "block heeds" and "fools" and their verdict an outrage, is rank Injustice Even aa unbridled press, with all Its liberty, should have some regard for the honor and characters of men.

The assault that has bean made upon the jurors in thla case because they. In the conscientious performance of their sworn duty as differ in their conclusion from persons who did not hear tha evidence end upon whom no suob doty rested, la inexcueablc Tha jury would have been justified, on the in acquitting tha defendant and should have done sc What were the facta, as testified to by witneeaea, under oath, and whose evidence the jury had no right to Ig nore, or disregard. Two brutal men, giants in physical strength, Inflamed and exoite by liquor, tor supposed fancied wrongs, assaulted, struck and beat the defendant, In the presence of his father, without cause or provocation, and whan tha father rushes to tha aid of his son, aa be had a lawful' right to do. ha is intercepted on his way by a brother of one of tbe assailants who Is armed with a loaded revolver, which ha draws, and attempts to use, bat the father by the use of a knife which ha bolda In bis hand, saves himself, and then one of tha two assailants, shoots tbe father through tbe heart with a leaden ball. In tbe presenoe and sight of the sou, who.

aeeing his father stag geiiog from the effects of tha mortal injury be received, rushes to his side and finds him dead, and then the son instantly, without a moment's time for tboufiht or deliberation, seiss a gun and shoots one ol the aseeilante, tha one be supposed and reasonably believed from spnearanoes wsa tbe oca wbo fired the ball Jat killed bis tatfaer To that tbe defendant under these circumstances oould be justly convicted of any other offense than that of meoiilauic bier would be a mls siatrnient ol the law, and all just men will concur in saying thai tbe slightest punishment fixed by tbe law for manslaughter is tbe greatest punishment that should have been lu Rioted upon him.
