SHE SPEARS OUT.

Mrs. Poy Reveals Dark Seoreta of the Cronln Conspiracy.

MORE EVIDENCE AGAINST COUGHLIN.

It la the Moat Direct Vet Offered Mid Eatabllahe* Hli Connection with the Plot to Taka the Dnotor'a Life.

MRS. FOT TBIJ.S BBB STOBT. CHICAGO, Dec. 88.—Mrs. Andrew Foy took the stand In the Ooughlin o&so Friday and told the court and Jury what she knew of the conspiracy that led to the assassination of Dr. Patrick Cronln.

Her testimony was sensational in the extreme, and Its effect upon the defense was apparent. Coughlln's attorneys made desperate efforts to prevent her from giving her testimony.

Mra. Foy'a Testimony Admitted. When Judge Tuthill entered the courtroom, the defense, having had a night to look up their authorities and arrange a plan of action, were prepared to make a strong fight for the exclusion of Mrs. Foy's testimony. The court, however, took the wind out of the sails of the defense by remarking quietly: "I have decided this matter. The objection of the defense Is overruled." "You understand." added Judge Tuthill, turning to Attorney Bottum, "that this testimony is greatly restricted. Mrs. Foy can testify only to what the saw and to what she said to any of the conspirators."

The defense was not quite ready, however, to abandon all hope, and Judge Wing made a plea to the court that Mrs. Foy's evidenoe should first be heard without the presence of the jury, so that, if it was not of an admissible nature, it could be stricken out without having any influence upon the minds of the jurors. Judge Tuthill refused to entertain this proposition, and declared that Mrs. Foy's evidence should be heard before the jury the same as that of any other witness. .....

Mra.

Yoj't

Evidenoe.

After several witnesses had been examined on minor points, Mra Foy took the stand. Mrs. Foy said that she knew Dan Coughlin,|Patrick Ooonoy and Martin Burke. She had known Coughlin for some nine years and the others for different periods. In March, 1889, Dan Coughlin visited her home at 19 Locust street several time* In the evenings. Four times was all, the witness said, Coughlin had come. At the third visit she was in the front room with Coughlin and Foy, and conversed with them, but she shortly left them alone.

Dr. Cronln'. Removal Advised. Returning in a few moments to light a hanging lamp, she saw her husband standing and looking over Coughliu's shoulder at a letter, from which the latter was reading. She caught the words: "Bemove him at all hazards, but use your discretion."

Ooughlin remained in the house two hours and then went away, withont speaking to her again.

Cooney and Burke Called.

Mrs. Fo then told of two visits of Oooney at which he and her husband had held conversations In low^ tones, always with the door closed. The witness was asked if Martin Burke had visited her husband. She replied In the affirmative, telling of a visit prior to May 4, at which Burke had talked with her husband in the front room and in the halL The next meeting of Martin Burke at her house was on the night of May 6, 1889. As the witness made this statement Judge Wing objected. It was the bitterlyfought point of Thursday. The court said: "I have decided to admit that evidence, but I instruct the Jury to regard all acts of Martin Burke after Mar 4 as simply tending to show conspiracy, and not as bearing upon the guilt of Daniel Coughlin."

Conghlln's Remarka Attar May 4. Mrs. Foy said Joe McKenna and Mlohael O'Connor were also frequent visitors during these times. O'Connor is the polioeman at present on the force under surveillance. Ooughlin came to the bouse several times after May 4. He talked to her husband, who would ask him If everything was all right. Ooughlin would replyi "Yeai nothing found out yet" On the night of May It he call ed and asked to see her husband, but witness told him Mn Foy was not home and she was afraid he had been arrested. Coughlin assured her there was no danger. Said het "There's no proof against Andyj he's all right" Mrs. Foy told doughlin didn't know what would become of her and the children. She saldi "Coughlin, this is an awful thing yon have done. Dr. Cronln will do you tn6re harm dead than alive." Be laughed and said she need not worry.

Mentioned a Prominent Men. 'There Is no danger,' said he, trot you will be taken care of, anyway. Don't worry.' 1 asked him who was to take care of me and my ohlldren. "Oh, he Bald, 'don't mind about that. Alexander Sullivan la a good Mend of your husband's and of mine,».ml he will take care of you.'

She continued her imony saying Coughlin told her husband what luck he had In fooling Oapt ftchaack and Capt Mcheuttler about Dr. Cronin's body and where they had put it.

He had often talked with her alone, and he reassured her that everything was all right, that there Was no proof against her husband, that she tnuat not fear, but to keep quiet and she would be taken care of.

AI War a Ashed for Uan.

Mrs. Foy said that whenever Cooney, Burke, McKenna and the others oame to her house they always asked If Dan Coughlin was there or had been there.

This was Mra ffoy's story as told In court, limited by the rules of legal evi dence. Its effect on the defense seemed to be irritation rather than anything else. The defendant was not notioeably affected by the evidence. Be had

ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1893.

been fully prepared for It by the pnblshed accounts of Mrs. Foy's narrative. Under Cross-Examlnatlon.

Judge Wing began to cross-examine Mrs. Foy just before the noon adjournment. He questioned her mercilessly in regard to her relations with Mrs. T. T. Conklin, the lady with whom Dr. Cronln had made his home for years before hiB death. The lawyer asked the witness the number of times they had met, and how recently. It was developed that the two women were in Dthe habit of visiting together regularly and they had been together just before she had come to oou'r the previous day. All this line of examination the defense pursued with a view to showing that the witness was unfairly influenced to give her story. When pressed closely to give the cause of this lntimaoy, Mrs. Foy declared pitifully: "She was the only friend I had."

An attempt to show that the witness' memory was Inaccurate was made by asking her of visits that had been made to her in Jauuary, 1889. Mrs. Foy was able to answer these questions easily, and whin court adjourned her testimony was In no way impaired. ,4

Wll) Ktttnuie on Tneidny.

Court adjourned for the day at 4 p. m. About twenty minutes before adjournment Judge Wing, who had conducted a merciless cross-examination, suggested that the witness must be suffering from the ordeal through which she had passed during the day, and asked an adjournment. Mrs. Foy said that she was not suffering, and did not desire an adjournment, but rather wished to stay on the witness stand until the lawyers were through with her. Judge Wing proceeded with his questioning, but soon again insisted on adjournment in the interest of the witness. Judge Tuthill then said she could resume her evidence In the morning, but Mrs. Foy flatly refused to appear at that time, saying her household Interests had been neglected, and she would neglect them no longer. It was finally agreed, however, to adjourn, it being arranged that Mrs. Foy's examination should be resumed on Tuesday next

Coughlin Keepa Ills Nerve. Coughlln's nerve did not fail hiui during Mrs. Foy's occupancy of the witness stand. He did not drop the mask of indifference from his face, the blood did not leave his cheeks, nor did his eyes droop when Mrs. Andrew Foy, after taking a solemn oath, threw off the burden which had crushed her heart for four years. After she had given in the most damaging evidence ever Introduced against Coughlin he said: "That la a pack of Ilea from beginning to end. She has been filled with them. 1 never knew her, nor did she know mo until I was pointed out to her day before yesterday. We will taUe care of her ana

ot

those who

got thst story up. The whole thing Is rot from beginning to end. Did you notice that ahe wouldn't look me in the eye? I tried to oetoh her eye several times. But ahe la afraid to look at me. You juat wait, my time will come, and I will prove that what ahe ha* told Is a lie."

REPORTS OF THE LEADING AGENCIES.

Holiday Trade Prove', Very Cnsa'l.fartory —Nearly 3,000.000 l'eranns Without Support, Owing hi l.ick of Work.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Hrad9treet's says: "The features of the buaines* week are the Increased uniformity In report*, that general trade Is quite as much or more depressed than previously that holiday trading has boon unsatisfactory and far below that of a year ago, continued closing down of Important industrial establishment*, reductions of wages and Increased instances where short time is being en forced. Nearly all staple markets aro quiet almost to stagnation, the exception having been cotton, the price of which was slin-.uluted late in the week by revival of confidence in low crop reports. Wheat, too. was higher for a time, but reaoted On the other hand, pig Iron never was lower than at present. Cnmmerctal travelers are on the road to a very llmlte-'l extent, as la usual at this season, and stock taking la beginning at many points, which tends to emphasise the luck of business activity.

No Claim to Improvement.

"With the exoeption of August.*, Ua., and possibly one other point, absolutely no ol aim to even a slight Improvement in anv line of business Is made at any point this week. Exports of wheat from both coasts of the United States aro not as large as last week, amounting to only 1,005,000 bushels, about 00 por cent of the total a yoar ago, and three-quarters ol the aggregate so shippod In the week two years ago "Transactions in lumber, leather, wool, dry goods and, (act, almost all staple .lines, arc for aotual wants only, aud the outlook Is not for a material revival during the next sixty days.

Nearly 3,000,000 Without Support. "Speoial telegrams to Bradstreet's from IIP Important cities throughout the oountry Indicate the total number of employes In industrial and other lines out of work at this time from all causes, together with the total number ol people dlreotly dependent for support upon those so rendered Idle, la nearly 3,OUO OOO.

Christmas Helps Retailer*.

"There Is an Improvement In Christmas trade among retailers at a few western olties This is true at Cleveland, where business in other respects Is unchanged. At Cincinnati trade la very quiet. Transactions In staple goods at Toledo are reported fair, but In other lines buslneas ia very dull. The holiday trade at Detroit la less than anticipated and industrial lines continue inactive. All departments of business are reported dull at Indianapolis and Louisville. •The volume of Christmas trade at Chicago is only fair and in other lines there Is comparatively little doing, travelers being oft the road and merchants reoelvlng relatively few orders by man. This is the beginning of the season foi Inventories, which empathizes the dullness Jobbers In hats and shoes at St. Louis repor' business restricted to actual wants ond thi movement of Iron is as slow as ever. There 1 no activity In business circles at Kansas Cltj aside from Chris Unas specialties except in line'sof oheap goods. Trade remains steady ai Omaha, though smaller than a year ago, am? dullness characterizes the situation at Mllwau kee, Minneapolis, Duluth and St. Paul, as foi weeks past."

Dun Not Much More Encouraging. R. G. Dun & Co. *s weekly review ol trade says: "The year la practioally over, except the holl day bualneas, which la remarkably well eus talned as respects number of sales, considering the state of Industries and the army of ihe employed, but Is materially diminished In vol ume, beoauae purohases average muoh smatlei In value than In recent years. Probably the stooka of holiday goods o( the better class lof. on hsnd after next week will be larger thar usual. "Other business, all branchea included, ap pears from clearing house returns SS.l per cent less than last year at the same date, But m.ucL Is done at prises which return no profit, merel) to keep handa together or retain customers and the losses by numerous and heavy failure* reduoe profits even where the volume of trans sotlons has given fair promlae. Changes during the past week have not been oheerlni 1: character, but the minds o( many are now turn lug to the dawn-of the new year with hope o: better things.

Russian Exports Growing.

"Russian exports are beyond all preoedent, in October and November 80,OO,OOJ bushels, against 80,630,000 bushels last year, and the country is selling at ruinous prices becausr produoers Ond it neoessary to realise. "Corn has deollned IK oenis. Pork products have been somewhst aotive and lower, pork 7t oents and lard 86 oents. "Wheat Is 9 cents low er than a year ago, oorn 16 oente, pork ti.ftu a barrel, lard (&0O, hogs 1.1 oents. "The failure of tbe Orane Iron company last week, with some other smaller failures, out weighed In Influence the resumption of work by a few iron works, and has lnoreased depreealon at the east "Woolen manufacture has started three more mills, but six have stopped, one employing 8.000 handa, and others are reported about to stop when atouks on hand are worked up. Tbe shoe manufasture does somewhst better, though shipments from Boston show adeorease of par cent for the week, andmauy factories are working on orders now nearly exhausted, while few new orders oome In and sales from •tooks are comparatively rare

May Baoape the Caual Pinch. The delayed treasury report is fsvorof oolnlng the silver bullion on hand, substitution of other Issues for government paper ourrency. Issues of bonds snd a tax on Incomes derived from corporations, attracts not much attention, but notwithstanding the abundance of money the market la rather leas confident In feeling It Is believed, however, that the usual pinch about January 1 will not ooour.

The Failure Record.

••Failures for the week were

ABSOLUTELY PURE

MADMAN IN A THEATER.

Son of Brtgham Toung Causes a Wild tfoene In Salt I.ake City, SAI.T I.AM CJTT. Utah, Deo. 88.—By presence of mind and prompt action on the part of several members of Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown," a terrible tragedy was averted at the Salt Lake City iheater Thursday evening. About 9 o'clock Oscar. 11. Young, a crazy son of the Mormon prophet Brtgham Young, burst open' the door of the theater box office. Hefore the astonished treasurer and menager could collect themselves Young strode Into tbe theater, around to the stage door and dashed across the stage. The eurtains were down and the actors dressing for the second act Young Is a man of powerful physique, having till recent years been a blacksmith. Into the first dressing-room he broke and stood frothing in passion before Harry Connor, the "Welland Strong" of Hoyt's noted play. After trying to look the door he demanded ths key of Connor. "I'll teaoh you to talk about the Danites," he said.

With a torrent of oaths the madman ruebud upon Connor. Instantly recognizing that he was in the presence of a madman, Connor gave a qulok leap out of the door. The ladies in the adjoining room screamed. At tills moment tho property man, Aiitone iiz/anovlch, a match In strength and size for Young, leaped upon the madman from behind and pinioned li! :i. Juat then a boy was passing with I'.v swords used in the play. With tho Nii'i-ngth born of madness Young re-c-i'.st'd himself, grabbed a sword and ommenced plunging at those around liim. Again the massive property man oaught him from behind, at the •awe time catching the hilt of the sword. Those of the ladles who had not fainted rushed to their rooms. "Don't lynch me, don't lynch me," cried Young. He was forced into the street, a policeman called, and still raving, was carrlcd to the station.

Young has long been regarded aa daft, and of late has shown dangerous tendencies. Those who know the man regard the luoky outcome of the stage encounter as little short of a miracle. Young's present spell 1s said to be the result of financial troubles. He had no acquaintance with any one in the theater company.
