Stories of Witnesses Against Dan Coufflilin Attacked.

EFFORTS AT IMPEACHMENT MADE.

Testimony Taken to Discredit the Evl donee of Frank Hardcen unci Mrs. Foj A Policeman (Jots

Badly Tangled.

NO SIGN YET OF THE TRIAL'S KND. CHICAGO, lj'eb. 6.—Daniel Cotuthlin's attorneys attacked Frank Bardeen's testimony. Bardeen, when on the stand for the prosecution, told of seeing Couglilin in Edgewater on lie night of May 4, 1889. He aaid lie was sitting on the steps

of the Edgewater electric light plant when the big detective passed with the wagon. Walter Eatou was mentioned as the engineer in charge of the plant that night. The defense called Engineer Eaton to tell what he knew of that uight's experience. He saill that Bardeen visited him at the Edgewater eiectric light plant on the night of May 1, and that he did not see him again for several mouths afterwards. He was not there on the night of May 4, or at least, the witness did not see him on that occasion. Eaton saw no one sitting in the doorway of ths plant on that night. On cross-examination witness admitted that Bardeen might have been there on the night of May t, and that there might have been some one sitting in the doorway the same night. He watched his engine so closeiy that he paid no attention to the coming or going of anyone. He also admitted having told attorneys for the prosecution that he suspected that Bardeen was there on that night, but he did not see him, and that if Bardeen said he was he (the witness) would believe him.

To Impeach Sir*. f'oy.

MeKenna, one of the men whom Mrs. Foy swore was present at many of the whispered conferences with her husband at her home prior to and after the murder had been committed, took the stand and entered an emphatic denial of the truth of Mrs. Foy's statements, contradicting every one of her assertions.

On cross-examination MeKenna admitted that he was a subscriber to the fund for Coughlin's defense, having donated 85 for that purpose at a meeting held at McCoy's hotel and attended by about '200 men. He also admitted that he had aided the attorneys for the defense in hunting up witnesses and in collecting funds. He did this, he said, because, being indirectly charged with complicity in the crime, he was interested. Tho cross-examination failed to shake the witness, who was as positive in his statements as was Mrs. Foy.

Tho next witness was another of Mrs. Foy's "suspects," Police Officer Michael O'Connor, who, Mrs. Foy says her husband told her, held the door of the Carlsou cottage shut and stood guard while Patrick Cooney beat Dr. Crouin over the head with Andrew Foy's brick maker's chisel. Replying to Judge Wing's questions Mi*. O'Connor said that he lives on Erie street. He knew Andrew Foy. He visited Foy's house for the first time on May 12, 188'J. Ue went there with Joo MeKenna. Mrs. Foy told them that Foy had gone to help some one build a house. Several persons were at the Foy house. They all waited till Foy came home. There were songs and recitations by those present. MeKenna and Foy recited poetry. Dr. Cronin's disappearance was spoken of by the company and the belief was expressed that he was alive aud would turn up all right. Witness had based his opinion to that effect on what he had read in the newspapers.

Mr. Bottura cross-examined O'Connor at length as to his whereabouts on May 4. Witness admitted that he had taken pains to find evidence as to his doings that day and night. Ue did Urn, he said, because he had been told that he was suspected of complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. He refused to tell the state's attorney who had informed him that he vras suspected, and upon being ordered to answer by the court, said that he did not remember. He was thereupon not questioned further by the prosecution.

Cornered O'Connor.

When court opened in the afternoon the defense recalled O'Connor, and he was asked by Judge Wing to tell who it was told him he was suspected in this ease. Attorney Bottuin, for the prosecution, objected on the ground that the witness had already sworn that he did not remember. It was a novel situation and Judge Tuthill pondered a moment before he said: "He may answer."

O'Connor then explained that Michael Kelley, foremau of the AdamsWestlake manufactory, had told him he had better keep out of the way of the officers. Attorney Bottum then took the witness. He said: "Then, when you said you could not remember the name of that man you told a deliberate falsehood, didn't you?"

O'Connor flushed and looked confused. "No, I did not," he finally replied. "But you said you could not remcm ber it." "Yes, and I could not at that moment," answered O'Connor. "Did you." asked Judge Tuthill stern ly, "know that man's name when you sat there on the stand?" "No, your honor, I did not," replied O'Connor, becoming nervous, thought it over afterward aud remembered it then." "If you did not remember," demanded Attorney Bottum, "why did you to keep his name out of it? Can you answer that?"

O'Connor was silent. "Can you anBwer it?" repeated Mr. Bottum. "No, I can not," finally muttered tho witness. "You can go," declared the .attorney, triumphantly.

if the testimony of Frank

FOUND GUILTY.

John Hart to Ole for the Murder of IIIn Two Sinter*. lloc.'KKoiiH, 111., Feb. 6.—The jury in the Hart murder trial after being out one hour and twenty minutes brought in a verdict finding the defendant guilty and fixing liis punish-

.IOHS IIAIiT.

ment at death. One ballot was all that was taken. Hart received the verdict coolly aud made no demonstration. Public sentiment .approves thj verdict. The crime for which Hart was tried was the murder of his two sisters, Mary and Nellie, on the afternoon of September 5 last. His act was undoubtedly the result of trouble in the family over the division of the estate left by John Hart, the father of the defendant, who committed suicide two year? ago, leaving much valuable property.

HALF A MILLION IN ASHES.

Disastrous Fire at Savannah—Three f.lulnen. Houses Burned. SAVANNAH, Ua., Feb. 8.—A disastrous fire started at 10 a. m. Monday in the guano warehouse of Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., and from there spread to the Savannah Grocery company's six-story brick building, which was totally consumed. The store of the Savannah Grocery company was worth I1S0.000. It was insured for S180,000. The fire next extended to M. Ferst's wholesale grocery, three stories high. The stock is worth 1150,000: insurance, 125,000. The building belongs to Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., and is valued at 1100,000 insurance, 168,000. The guano warehouse is valued at $10,000.

The fire proves to be the largest since the great conflagration of April, 1S89. Tho loss is estimated at nearly 8500,000. The buildings destroyed front on Bay street and were built in 1880. The Savannah Grocery companies building was three stories high on Bay su-eet, six stories on River street and ran back to the water front. Ferst's building was two stories on Bay street and three on the river front. The weather being very cold the fire was hard to get at. William Tilton was run over by the hook and ladder truck at the fire and dangerously hurt.

DELAYED BY STORMS.

Rough Seas Cause Fourteen Ocean .steamers to lie Overdue at New York. NEW YOHK, Feb. 8. —After a very stormy passage the Umbria of the Cunard line has arrived in port about three days overdue in her trip from Liverpool. For a week past the weather in the transatlantic liue of travel has been very rough and stormy, and high seas have ruled. All incoming vessels are overdue and some apprehension has been created. There are fourteen steamships overdue from twenty-six hours to four days. Among those are the Adriatic. of the White Star lines La Gascogne, of the French line the Rhaetla, of the Hamburg-American line the Pennland, of the Red Star line the Thingvalla. of the Thingvalla liue and the H. H. Meier, of the North German Lloyd line. The Pennland is now seventeen days out from Antwerp. Her usual winter passage is twelve days.

Every one of the fourteen belated vessels has doubtless been caught in the storm track.

TO 1MTEACH .TKNIUNS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—.Congressman McGann, of Chicago, has introduced a resolution directing the judiciary committee of the house to investigate the charges made against Judge •Tames G. Jenkins, of the Seventh circuit, and to report whether they warrant the presentment of articles of impeachment and also report what action is necessary to preveut a recurrence of the conditions now laid by the injunction upon the Northern Pacific and other railroad employes aud labor organizations. The resoution has along preamble reciting the right of employes to organize aud strike and Judge Jenkins' order restraining the employes of the Northern Pacific from exercising this right. Mr. McGann made a fruitless attempt to secure immediate consideration for his resolutions.

I

When unanimous consent .was refused for the consideration of the resolution it was referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. McGann says he will endeavor to have that committee report back the resolution at once. He would have secured immediate consideration of the resolution had it notbeen for the objection of Mr. Outhwaite (dem., O.). The latter explained later to Mr. McGann that the attendance in the house was too small for the consideration of such an important subjeet

Abuse of the tujuiiotloii.

WASHINGTON, Feb 6 —Senator Allen (pop., Neb.) has Introduced a bill "To prevent the abuse of the writ of injunction." It provides that- it shall be unlawful for any United States court to issue a writ of injunction, mandate or restraining order against any labor organization, its officers or members in any manner affecting their full freedom to peacefully and quietly quit the service of any person or corporation at any time they may see fit to do so.

Federal Elections Repeal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The federal ©lections repeal bill occupied the entire session of the senate Monday. Senator Chandler (rep., N. H.) concluded hla speech, which has extended through the last two or three weeks, and was followed by Senator Palmer (dem.,

11L),

who argued that the law having entirely failed of its purpose and being generally obnoxious should be repealed. An animated controversy of the franchise qualifications of the state constitutions of Mississippi and Massachusetts took place between Senator.* Frye (rep., Me.) and Hoar (rep., Mass.) on one side and Senators Gray (dem., Del.) and Hale (dem., Tenn.) on the other.

We pray that the lesson of this man's life may be read with kindly aud reverent hearts by tho young: men of the whole nation and so may the man's death be richer in its effects than even the beneflccnee and sweetness of his life."

The Hawaiian Debate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The Hawaiian dubate again occupied the attention of the house Monday, a night session being held to permit speeches by those members who desired to talk but who otherwise would not have had an opportunity to do so on account of the limited time allowed.

The debate was then resumed by Mr. Morse (rep., Mass.) who had five minutes. Before he had prooeeded for minute, however, Mr. Outhwaite (detn., O.) had called him to order for unparliamentary language.

Mr. Morse asked what there was in his speech that was objectionable. Mr. Outhwaite—I object to the insolent and insulting language addressed to this side of the house.

Mr. Morse, according to the rule, took his scat and the words excepted to we read at the clerk's desk as follows: "And yet. strange to tell at the command ot tlieir tnuMer, the freat Grover Cleveland, his cuckoo:, in tlio house and senate, stanch sovHl.ern drmocr.'. ts. the loudest shouters for ii ivtilie man's goiorument, disregard ul] their ancient, traditions about white roan's anprcmacv :tnd the whtte man'H government."

The speaker, after weighing the words. ga»c his opinion that the language wa.s not parliamentary: that no member had a right to speak of any member of the house or senate as being controlled by their master, the president.

On motion of Mr. Burrows (rep., Mich, Mr. Morse was allowed to explain—Mr. Outhwaite alone voting an emphatic "No." Mr. Morse thereupon withdrew the objectionable words. But the incident had consumed all of Mr. Morse's time and Mr. Johnson refused to yield further and proceeded with his speech. '1 he principal speeches were made by Messrs. Johnson (rep..

A DAY OK KKCl I KMK.N

LEBANON, Ind., Fell. 15. In a lonely and secluded spot ft miles east, of this city Mrs. Alters, a widow with four small children, ekes out an honest living on a forty-acre farm. She is connected with some of the best of Boone county's citizens and her character is above reproach. About midnight Saturday uight she heard s.mie one around her house, and to add to her fright a long pole was thrust through the window and an attempt was made to knocu from a stand the only light burning. She seized the light when I- ranu Hall, a big burly negro, who lived with iiis parents uear her home, jumped through the window. She screamed, and he drew a revolver, pointing it at her head, and demanded that she be quiet. lie then took het childieu, Incited them in a room and assaulted tiic'.r mother. When he was ready to leave Mrs. Alters was more dead than alive.

The lit-ute Cultured.

He had been gone about an hour when, taking her baby in her arms, Mrs. A Wei's dragged herself as best she could about a half mile to her brother's house and related the occurrence. Her brother alarmed the neighborhood and traced Hall through the snow to his home aud stood guard around his father's house until the sheriff was notified to come and arrest the criminal. The sheriff arrived about 3 o'clock Sunday morning aud brought liall to jail. He denied his guilt, claiming that he had been at home since o'clock. His father said that he came in after midnight.

Threats of lynching- were so strong that the prisoner was taken to Indianapolis Sunday afternoon uud brought here Monday morning for a preliminary hearing. At an early hour the farmers from around the city congregated in squads and some yelled at the tqp of their voices to storm the jail. A leader got out in the street and beckoned for followers. He marched to the jail. Prosecutor Dutch hastened over and mounting the jail steps pleaded for better counsel. He said he would prosecute the negro and do all he could to see that he was given the full penalty, and for the sake of Boone county's fair name to disperse. This speech had a temporary effect and the crowd did disperse partially. At noon the prisoner had not had a preliminary trial through fear of the crowd, as it was thought, best not to remove Hall. A secret trial was held in the jail, which resulted iD Hall being bound over to court In the sum of (500.

A Woman Leads the Mob.

About 1 o'clock the victim of the crime came in accompanied by a Mrs. Taylor. She gave out to the crowd that she would be their leader and that Hall should die. Mrs. Taylor had strong hempen rope about 20 feet, long, one end of which she was trying to form Into a hangman's knot. She finally made a common slip-knot, and the women started for the jail. Just at this moment the sheriff had received orders from Judge Neal to bring Hall before him at once, and as the women approached the jail the prisoner, accompanied by three deputy sheriffs, came out Somebody cried: "Hang hiral" and the crowd lunged for Hall. The deputies drew their guns but failed to shoot.

Hall was pounced upon and pulled from the sheriff and way made for Mrs, Taylor, who came up and placed the loop over the negro's neck Yell after yell of "Hang him! Hang him!" was heard, but by this time the citizens of the town came to his rescue. Charles Neal, the judge's son, weighing nearly 300 pounds, was among them. A tug of war was begun and the negro was pulled first one way and then another until he was completely fagged out The rope was cut and again placed over his head this was repeated another time, the crowd fighting over a distance of 300 feet, pulling the negro. Given Twenty-One Tears' Imprisonment.

Finally the way was made clear for a space before the north courthouse entrance, and Hall was dragged in with his clothes nearly torn from him The judge then demanded that enough men be deputized to restore quiet. The prisoner was ordered to stand, the affidavit was read and Hall pleaded guily. He was sentenced to twenty one years in prison. The sheriff placed him in the judge's private room, where he was ke,pt until 5 o'clock, when he was escorted to the train by lOOcitizens, who had been sworn in by the sheriff.

Tried to Get Him Again.

When they started to the train the crowds were still gathered and cries of "Lynch him!" were heard again. One man made an effort to seize Hall, but Marshal Oden was too quick for him, striking him on the head and knocking him down. The crowd followed to the dengt, £0.4 Willie QTen. th feats were
