The Arguments of Counsel to Com- mence on Moaday. The sixth day of the trial of Alexander Sul- Yiran for the murder of Francis Hanford drew sslargea crowd as have packed the Criminal Court-room cvery day since the commence- ment., It was believed that yesterday would witness the closing of the case for the defense, and such proved to be true. The testimony on both sides is all in, and nothing remains but the arguients before the jury will take the circumstances of the killing into consideration, and decide the case one way or the other. There were many ladies present in the morn- ing, end Sheriff Agnew gave them seats nearthe witnese-stand. Tpon the opening of the court, the testimony for the defense was continned. WITNESSES AS TO CHARACTER. F. H. Winston, John Forsythe, P. A. Hoyne, J. 0. Rutter, and S. S. Hayes were called as to character, and testified that, as far they knew, Sullivan’s reputation as a peaceable and orderly ditizen was good. The Court asked if it was necessary to pur- sue this subject further. Mr. Reed suid the prosecation did not propose 1o question the defendant’s character,"and he 1old counsel so Friday. Mr. O'Bricn remarked that he wanted to in- troduce the members of the late Board of Pub- lic Works, and Louis -Wahl, Redmond Prindi- ville, and Mr. James K. Thompson were put ‘on the stand, and gave evidence to the same effect asthe witnesses named above. JOHN C. RICHBEEG SWORN: Kuow Sullivan; his reputation is good. Was s member of the Board of Education for six years,—President for two. Q.—Did she ever attend any private meeting of the Board, or any committee-meeting? Objected to. Mr. Swett urged that the document (Han- _ford’s) charzed that Mrs. Sullivan was chief of &l the deviltry in the Board of Education, and that charee wasin the portion of the articl which Sullivan took to Hanford. . The Court admitted the evidence. A.—Bbe never was. Q.—Did she at any time or place, under an, circumstance, attempt to influence the action your Board or any committee. A.—Never in Committee of the Board, or the Board, with the exception that she saw me on one or two ocea- sions when the question of ‘ealary was upin the Board. She stated that it wus not fair to the women teachers to reduce their salarics,—to make a wholesale reduction of their small sala- ries of 25 per cent. TEE COURT WITH DEFEXDANT. Mr. Reed objected to this, asking if it was competent. It didn’t make aony difference whether the statements in the communication were true or false. > The Court—]1 think it does.* 5 Mr. Reed—Does your Honor allow them to prove ier conversations? . The Court—Yc: " * Mr. Swett was going to say something—make am argument, ¢ Mr. Recd (interrupting)—What is thcuse? the Court is with yon. (.—Did she spesk in favor of any classof ‘women¢ Objected to, since it wes not admissible un- der any rule of law. ‘The Court—There is a differcnce of opinion on that. AMr. Van Arman—I should say there is—a wide difference. & The Court—I say it is competent. on. (. —State to the jury if she cver attempted to infiuence any corrupt legislation on the part of the Board. Objected to. Mr. O'Bricn wanted to show that the com- ‘wupication was infernal. ‘The Court—The objection is overruled. A.—She never did,—for tivo reasons. Reed objected to the reasons. -Did she ever? A.—She uever did. Did she ever try? A.—She uever tried. 1 don’t suppose it ever entered her mina. BIBLE 1N THE SCHOOLS. Q.—Did she ever do auything, or attempt to do auything, to influence” the exclusion of the Bible from the schools? [Sensa- Obfected to. Mr. Swett—That is part of the charge. The Court—Auswer the question. . A.—Inever bad a conversetion with Mrs. Sul- Jivan upon that subject in my life in any man- aer. shape, or way. ’ There was no cross-cxamination. ‘WILLIAM J.

The Court—It is competent io know all the surrounding circumstancee of the ease. A.—I don’t know whether he was reduced or Dot, but he applied for the position oi Principal of aschool. I'was at the Council Quring the time the article was presented, read, and dis- cussed. i ARS. SCLLIVAN’S CHASTITY. Q.—\Whit impression did tke artide produce ou von and the hystanders? Objected 1o as immatrial. Mr. Swett thought it was pertinent as show- ing the state of defendant’s mind. The Court vould net see any pertinency in Loy others understood it. Mr. Van Arman urged that it was an attempt 1o force an unnatural construction upon the pa- per, by witnesses testifying that jn the reading of it hey construed it 35 anattack upon the hastity of the defendant’s wife. It had no 801t of relevancy. AIr. Swett coutended that Sullivan acted upon an apparent state of facts honestly and in good faith.” Jle wanted to show that persons who heand the articie having no motive to miscon- Btrue it construed it as containing charges ingt the cimstity of the ladv. r. Van Arman said if that reasoning were true, the prosccution would have the right to «all witnesses who heard the paperread to prove hat they did not so construe it. The Court—That is done in slauder cases. Mr. Reed—Tbis is not & slander case. The Court—It is competent to show how the bystanders understood the wording. r. Van Arman—1 have nothing more to say. The Court has the power to decide, and 1 bave- only to submit. _Q.—You hieard it rcad and discussed? A.— Yes, sir. - AR. ENGLISH'S DAPRESSION.

Van Arman objected to such testimony. OFF THE TRACK. . . The Court—That is a good way off the track. 3Mr. O'Brien said it Wwent to show the impression that was made on the mind of the defendant as to the character of the man who was the author of the anonymous communication. Q. What wds the appearance of Sullivan during this proceeding? Objected to. The Court—Show what he did. Mr. O'Brien proposed to show that he was utterly broken down. A.—He appesred deeply agitated, and scemed to writhe nate o Wil S Toeer the street-car. Cross-examined: I left him at about 20 minutes of 7 o'clock. AMS.

The defendant was then put on the stand, and fold the same tory os at the’Coroner's inquest, with some addiions. He said he was born in Maine, and was 29 years old. He became ac- quainted with his wifé in Detroit, where he kepta retail boot and shoe store, and she was a teacher inthe publicechools. Tn August, 1889, he went to New Mexico us Collcctor of Internal Revenue, and remained there until April 1,1872, editinga newspaper and being Postmaster aleo while there. He went to Washington, thence to New York, where he remained until the spring of 1873, when he came to Chicego. He was telegraph editor of the Post for a time, then became a reporter on the flgrmhamg subsequently on the Zimes, On 3 76, he was appointed Seeretary of the Board ot Public Works. - He S hin ford prior to the shooting. Going to the Council Chamber he met Brennan, whno told him that a gowardly and infamons atiack bad beon made on e. ‘Then he detailed what took place in t} Council Chamber, and his Place1n e _ CONVERSATION WITH VAN O3DEL, and his giving him at last the name of the author. Yan Osdel told him the article did not reflect upon it wife; ** it only said she was a smart woman. " Ald. Thompson told him it was disgroceful. He asked him to presenta communication denouncing the article os false, but it was not presented, Thompson teiling him to go slow and he would move the appointment of 8 Committee of Investi- gtlon. e waited until the Councll adjourned. Judging from the extract hecopied, the article was infernally false; he was agitated and oppressed by it, and lef the ‘Council 16 avoid the gaze of the people, and_{he conversation which they forced upon him. He didnot wish tobe understood as siating that he believed any CHARGES AGAINST EX-MAYOR COLYTY, but be knew he hod been publicly asuniled-_that there was an attempt to ery him down as a bad and immoral character. Certainly, he eala: *‘I had read, mysclf, un article stating that he had spent nights of debauch in a can-can; that he- took the harlots from behind the scenes and spent $70 or $50 at a supper with thew. Idoxot know that it jatrue. I helleve it is not true, because ft is aue to every man to belicve that a charge is not true until it is proven. 1 knew a public impression had Dbeen created by that article, for it bad_been pub- lished in the Chicago Zimes. When Iknew that communication was infamous: that this direct charge was made upon one of the members of the Board of Kducation; that a man was foul enough to debauch a woman, and so much more foul thit he boasted of it; when 1knew that the communi- cation was anonymous (0o man but a coward would ever write an anonymous communication), I could ot but put the VILE3T CONSTRUCTION ON THE LETTER, andIdidt. At the Coroner's inquest I smp- pressed all reference to it. My sympathy for the iman, although he had maligned my wife ana at- tempted to mnjure me, and his unfortnnate family was g0 great that I suppressed it. But when found that the public_press lied abont my wife, and vilified ay poor sick wife, und denounced her 28 tiger, althongh she jumped out of that car- riage Iike an angel of peace, and begged me not to hurt bim; and when these scoundrels of ministers who preach religion lied about her, and denounced Derin the palpit, I thought it waadue to meand my wife that the jury who are to try the case should know all the - facts Pressions made w three weeks after the occurrence, 1 told Mr. O'Brien what I heard in the Council Chamber about Hanford.” He then told about gofng home, and what be sald to Lis wife, and of the agrcement to go o the newspapers to get the pub- Jication suppressed; and how they went to lian- ford's to get o retractlon, and the circumatances attending the shooting. Hanford told him he “rould prove anything he had said at the proper time; and, refusing to give him the proofs then or 2 note of fetraction, Sullivan called him a **dog.” BOTH STRUCK OUT, and Sullivan's fist hit i iret.

A remark was made by one of the attorneys for the defense about calling Mrs. Sullivan. 3lr. O'Brien said they were willing to call her. The Court remarked that it could not be done in a criminal case. ARCHY J. MC BEAYN, SWORKN: 1 was in the Council Chamber when the article was read. Know Sullivan. Saw him there.

Q.—Did you tell Suliivan then and there that you heard the article, and that it did not reflect upon the purity of his wife? 3r. O'Brien objected. 'Defendant could not be contradicted on an immateriai issae. Mr. Reed—The Court thought it was proper to goin. Mr. O'Brien—It was matorial in giving it, but you can't contradict him on it The Court—It doesn’t follow_that it did not re- flect upon her becanse somebody tald him so. 1t war, however, admitted. —State what yon said to him. A.—When he first came into the Council Chamber after the com- munication had been read, or partlaily read, he secined very much excited, and was going around \with Brennan and one or two others. Finally, after he had got the name from Van Osdel of the party who had written the communication, he came to where I wasseated. 'That wasavout 15 minutes before the Councll adjourned. Iasked him who the party was that had wrilten the communica- tioa, and the answer hc made was that the man was a dirty dog. SaysI, ¢‘Who was the party?” and he spid. o man by the mame of Hanfol i Principal, I think, of one of the public achools.

Objected to. 37, Swett gald fhat was a part of the orlginal care. The prosecntion was bound to put in alf the tondnet of Mr. Hanford, and to rebut aflirmatively a killing by self-defense, or to mako out afiirm- atively an onlawful killing. Al the circumstances " of the killing were a part of the orizinal case, or ought o be. Mr. Van Arman contended that the question was, whether it was part of the duty of the prore- cotion to make proof of the blow. He insisted that it was no part of their original ‘case, it being 2 matter of dispute even amonz tne witnesses who \vere prescnt, ¢xcept the brothor of the defendant. The Court said the prosccution had undertaken to show the whole transaction, ond they should have put it 8s favorably to the accused as It was their duty to do. ‘Mr. Vin Arman—Snpposc we did not beifeve the statement? Huve we no discretion? The Court—1t was probably well known, even before you went into what was known on the sab- ect. 557, Swew—It was In evidence before_the Coro- ner's Jury ua fully as here, 8o far a3 the fact s concerned.

The Conrt—That Is one of the peculiatly den; principies of thelaw. "tnd Mr. Wheeler was ruled out. JOHN M. VAN OSDEL was called for. but he was not in court. Mr. O'Brien inquired what it was proposed to ‘ove by him. e D waid he proposed to prove that he dis- tinctly and emphatically told Sullivan in the Coun- i1 Crumber that the paper did not call in question {ho virtue of his wifc,—that it simply eaid she was & emart and intelligent woman; and afterward, in e ante-room, after Sullivan had talked with Enalieh and others, repeated the remark again. r. O'Bricn admitted that he did ko. 1r. Van Arman—Your admission iso't good for anzthing. En . Reed (to Sullivan)—Do you admit it? Suilivan—I admit it. and think I said so.

The refuge om ;Pe Joliet Penitentiary did not enjoy the liberty.for which they hazarded so much fn effecting their escape. Yesterday morning one of them—George Williams by pame—arrived in town, and borrowing 50 cents from Tom Bell, & worthless thief who pretended to befriend him, and was preparing to depart on an outward-bound steamer from the Northern Transportation Com- pany’s dock, at the foot of LaSalle street. Tom Bell squealed on him at the Armory, and Detective Slayton and Tom Trainor at once parsued and captured the refugee. In the after- noon Deputy Supt. Dixon rcceived the follow- ing atch from R. W. McClaughry, Warden: 4 We caught McGinnis, Malone, and Smith east of Lemont._O'Neil and Kennedy seem to be making for Blue Island.” At 9:20 last evening. theso two latter arrived in this city on a coal train on the Alton Road, but as the police were uninformed as_to their arrival the; made good their escape. They can hardly avol capture, however, as it is almost impossible for them to get other than their prison clothing. THE JAMES BOYS. S1. Lowts, Oct. 21.—The Journal of Cominerce (Bansas City), speaking of the release of Good- win, brought here under the supposition that he wes Frank James, gives the. following account of how the detectives made the mistake in ar- resting him: The James boys were in the vicin- ity of the place where Goodman was, and had been traced towhere three days before they stayed at 8 man's house in that neighborhood. The ‘woods in the vicinity were picketed, as stated. There were men cnough within hailing distance to rescu¢ Goodwin had it been necessary, but the wrong man was to them s happy accident. The arrest alarmed the friends, aud the boys in the meantime were removed. The detectives had tracked the James boys to that neizhbor- hood, and it was through the talk of Dr. No- land sbout his patient that they were misled. The fact of the men being _in the neighborhood naturally led to the blunder by which the out- laws have again escaped, and the vigilance com- mittee talk has been a protecting screen, behind which they have once more eluded justice. But they are in the county yet. fibtless to-the rule of force a_yearand a half. % JOLIET. Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. Jov1er, 1ll., Oct. 2L.—The office of Norton & Co., st Romeo, north of Lackport, was broken into last night and some masculine wearing ap- parel stolen. Itis supposed that the thief or thieves belonged to the gang of six convjcts who escaped from the Penitentiary late yesterday afternoon, none of whom have been recaptured. The jury in the caseof Samuel Hanna. who hus been on_ trisl this week in the Will County Circuit Court, for an assault with _ intent to murder, returned averdict of guilty yesterday afternoon, and fixed his punishment at seven years’ imprison- ment in the State Penitentiary.” Hanna's coun- sel entered a motion for a new trial, sud if this is denicd_the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. The defendant is one of the four pris- oners who escaped from the County dJail some time ago, and doing so nearly killed the Deputy Sheriff, J. H. Arnold, by beating him on the head with an iron bar. FATAL QUARREL. Spectal Digpatch to The Trivunz, 1 PEORLA, IIL, Oct. 21.—A shooting affray oc- carred at Lower Peoria this morning, which will probably result in the death of one of the parties. Two men, named respectively John ‘Wagner and John Coleditch, have had a quar- rel some time over some cattle. To-day they met on the road and commenced discussing the matter. Words led to blows, and Coleditch struck Wagner a powerful blow over the head with a board. As he struck asecond time at him Wagoer _drew a revolver and fired. The Daii struck Coleditch over the_ left nipple, in- flicting probably a mortal wound. Wagner gave himsclf up to the authorities, and is now in jail. BURGLARY. Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune.

They glided into a bookstore, and advanced towards a young man Who sat facing the back of his chair. There werc three of them. One was a blonde, with 2 peach-blossom face and an $30 watch-chain. The next was also o blonde, but she wasn't so blooming as tho other, and her watch-chain wasn’t worth so much by $40. She wore a diamond ring, however, over the finger of alavender glove, which wis worth three or four watch-chains. The third one was the queen-bec. She was a brunette, with melt- ing brown cyes, and, as regarded jewelry, was far superior to the other two. The brunette asked the young man to buya ticket tothe church social. “How much are these here tickets?” asked the young man. % Scventy-flve cents,” said the brunette. “ Are they going to have a ratfle?” Yes,” she said. “Yyhat are yoa going to raffle for?” he queried. “For a cake with 2 gold ring in it,"” said the brunette.

There is a sweet tooth running through her sex which affects her taste and renders her less trust- worthy. Sheis less exact, at least in the pur- suit of this vocation, and does not reason as the wan does. If he fails, he thinks and tries to find out the cause of the failure, which she is less apt todo. He gives pounds and oances a8 to quantity where she gives approximative hand- fuls. The msau is more particular abont the food which he consames himself, which makes him more careful about what he prepares for others. Many women are content provided thev have ice-cream and sweet cake, or something equivalent thereto. Count de Najac, 8 man of somc author- ity concerning the table in Paris, avers that the interests and traditions of tbe kitchen can only be confided with safety to meny and that if the women guests at a table were not under the ereof the stern sex they wowld begin dinner with the dessert. As may he couceived, this is 8 painful statement for & gallant Frencbman to mnkehbm a scnsc of duty doubtless rises above all other considerations. o That high priest of the kitchen as well as ac- knowledged classic in French literature, Brillat- Savarin, appears to some extent to have shared the opiuion of M. de Najac, as indicated in his book of * The Physiology of the Taste.” On the other hand, there are instances in France where women have achieved 2 reputation in this field, and notably in the case of oae Sophie, who was the cook of the late Dr. Veron, author of the * Memoirs of a Bourgeois,” and man- ager of the Freach Opers, who was noted for the excellence of his dinners. She wag, and presnmably is still, considered a woman Vatel. Notwithstanding, even .if men be superior to women in this calling, if any wide-spread move- meut is to come about, the moyement must come from them, for the litchen is virtually in their hands. It is the man’s business to pro- vide the food, but it is not his to prepare it, but the woman’s. It is a division of labor which cx- {sts through all races and grades of civillzation. Tn France the training of - the women is more thorough in this respect’ than in zny other country, and that is onc of the chiel reasons why French cooking is so much esteemed. The number of men engaged in this kind of work is too small to bring about any considerable re- sult; the women only can do that.—dlbert Rhodes in the Galazy for November. MEN AND A WOMAN IN THE DEPTHS. Though we were now 1,500 feet below the sur-~ face of the carth, there was s whaft sunk 100 feut deeper still. But there wasno “cage” in it, and no way of access except by a bucket swung up and down, a8 by a well-sweep. Peer- ing over the edge of the pit, one could see a faint light at what seemed an unfathomable depth below. Col. Fair had druwn us onc side to ashalt where we could get a breath of cool air, when I asked if we could not continue our explorations down In this lower level? He look- ed at me incredulously. * Yes, we could, if we could screw our courage up to swinging ata rope’s end and being let downlike s bucket in awell.” “And the lady?” “No, no; such a thing was never heard of—never was oneof that sex down in that tremendous depth under round.” * Well, hut there must be 2 first one; erc is an American girl that has been around the world, and isn’t afraid to try.” Slowly he rose up, as if he doubted her courage even then. As was fittiog, I led the way. The bucket was one of but ordinary size; it would take two men, but would give them stending-room for only one foot apiece. The other leg was kept swinging iu mid-air, serving asa_zuide to the bucket, which would spin around like & top and often kick azainst the eldes of the shaft, so that a kick bad to be given in the rear to send it off to the opposite side- ‘Thus spinning and rcvolm:f. and knocking here and there, it descended with considerable velocity till it reached the level below. The foreman first.took me in hand. The bucket was drawn to the side and we put in one foot each, then grasped the chain overhead and he put his arm around me, and we were hoisted away, swinging a foot or two to get clear, and thea lifted oyer the mouth of the pit aad elowly. let down. How long we were in descending do not know—perhaps not over a minute, but it seemed much longer. ‘Then came C.’s turn, whom Col. Fair wonld letnoone tske in charge bui himseu.

THE DEADLY PISTOL. Ono Tallor Shoots Another in s Row About Cleaning an Outhouse. The blood and murder sensations, from which the city has had a comparative rest for some few wecks, broke out again last night in the northwestern portion of the city, and the result is, 3 human being with two doses of lead planted as closcly to his stomach as his assailaat could well come to that organ. There are no patliative circumstances fn tbe case, whatever, and, should the victim die, the murderer will come much closer to the gallows than any of the occupants of the present murderer’s row in the County Jail. The facts are few, and briefly are as follows: Patrick Conghan, a tailor, is the owner - of & ranch at No. 146 Cor- nella street, near Ashland avenue, consisting of three temement houses upon a single 25foot lot. He resides himself in the upper part of the structure on the frout. Joseph_Wicks, another tailor, is a tenant of| his, and occupfes a low structure in the rear of thebt. For some time past the two have been dickering and quarreling as such closely hud- dled tenants are in the uabit of doing. Yester- day the point at fssue was the cleaning out of an outhouse, which Guughan asserted Wicks had used altogether too frequently. The lic was passed several times, but nothing o until Iast evcning, when ‘Wicks returncd home from his day's work to supper. Gaughan went to his door, and, after insulting him in various ways, ordered him to come out at once and clean out the structure in debate. Wicks asserted that he was not that kind of a human being, and peremptorily re- fused. Then followed a serapping and tongue- lashing afipir, which was for tonvefience sake tramsferred to an ares in front of Gaughan’s house, and adjoining the side- walk in front. AIl this transpired between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock. The two wure thus heaping maledictions upon each other, and slashing the uir like madmen with their fists, when Gaughan made the demand for at least the bundredth time ué;on Wicks to do the job, and upon his refusal Ganghan went up-stairs to et his revolver. Returning he again ordered icka to do the job, or take the alternative of being shot. Wicks again refused, and at this {nncmn Mrs. Wicks rushed fout and ecized old of the weapon which Ganghan was menacingly pointing at her husband, and implorea bim to do no violence.

Atall events,he pronounced them ceminently “dangerous, and has but little hopes of a recovery.

Both these stories are strenuously con- tradictea by two intelligent boys who witnessed the entire row. Both men are of Irish birth, about 40 years of age, married, but neither have children.
