CRAWFORD’S CASE. The Testimony on Both 8Sides Al in, The Defendant Makes a Weak Attempt to Gst Up an Alibl. A Man Brought from the Ponitentiary o llelp Upset It. The trial of Joteph Crawford for the murder of Wililam Bhantey, on tho night of July 10, 1877, was reswmned yesterday morning fn the Criminal Court. The attendanco was somewhat Jarger than on the day before, and the interest {n the progress of the trial continued unabatod, Tha young defendant wore his usual slick ap- pearance, and quietly, and with apparent {ndif- ference, watched the progress of events. OFFICHR PLINN took the stand for tho prosecution, and testifled that he was detailed about tha Oth of last Jan- uory by Supt. Hickey to ascertain the where- abouts of Joseph Crawford, e found him ln the Ilouse of Corrcction at Clnclnnati. Mr. Van Buren objocted, end moved to have the answer atricken out. The objection was sustained, and that part of the anawer referring ta the tHouso of Correction was expunged from the records Witness, continuing, sald the defendant had been in Cincinnati about sixty days. He had Known Crawford before for about threo years, On secing him in Cinclnnatl, witness told Craw- ford he hau come for him from Chicago, and that he was wanted here. Crawford made no gnswer. On the way to Chicago from Cincin- patl, on tho night of Jan. 14, 1876, Crawford gald he had slept alone fn a ahanty, on the night of the murder, back of the Exposition Buildlng. IAMES GANNON took the stand, Crawford drew his chalr closer, and listened very attentively, Gannon testificd that he saw Crawford on the night ot July i0, 1877, being introduced to him by O'Bosle. e and O'Boylo wero sltting on the corner of Union aud Meagher streets at obout 8:80. Crawford and Morton came around fo & buggy and asked them to go ridiug. They did, had & drink or two, and then separuted. AL about 10:£0 witness was called out of a friend’s iouse on Liberty strect by the other three, who asked biin toride. He did s0. Aftor riding a while, Morton took tho bupgpy nway, and thoy sat down on tho sidowalk at the southeast corner of Brown anil Wright strects, This was shortly alter 12 o'clock.” A man came along pretty soon, and Crawford sald, *lcre's a Elnke boya; let's haog him up?? Crawford and 0'Boyle atarted neross the streot tv tho dingon- ally opposite corner. Crawford put his hand on 1ho man and tho shot was fired. Witness all 1lus time was on tho southwest corner, about ten feet from his own home, and about seven feet from the spot whero the man fell, Wituess didn't shoot the man. ke koew who did, It was Joseph Crawford. Describiug the affalr more__mioutely, witness sald that Crawford, after making the remark about tho ‘ bloko,” started up and went towards the man, O'Bugu following him. Wit- ness siarted up to go iuto the house. Crawford and Bhanley had sume words, which witness couldn’t understand, and Crawford pulled out o single-barreled plstol from Lis pauts pocket and shiot the man. Witness had secn this ro- volver in Crawford’s hands beforc that night, about _10:80 o’clock, on tha corner of Brown aml Wrlght strects, After the shiot was flred and the man fell, witness called out to Craw- ford, “You have shot the mau.’ Crawfurd noswered, * You'vo killed that man,” Witness then deseribed their ruuning away, kis own sub- sequentarrest, and the escapa of the others, n cross-examination, he explalued that Mor- ton had dropped out of the party earlier in the cvening, having taken the horse away. Craw- ford thst night was dresscd In neat bluck clothea, wore a soft hat, and had a whito hand- kerehiet nround his neck. After Crawford made the remark about hanging the “bloke™ up, he started across to the northeast corner, u'f!oyln following. Witness was about to pev up and wo homo, whe the shiot was fired, He would swear that Crawford did not say * You ‘Thero was o conversation ns they zan west on Wright strect after the shot was firea. DR, N, P, OLDEN, ex-County Physician, was called, and testified to having made a post-mortetm examination of Bhanlny%he dny afier the murder. 'fliero was oue wound over tha right cheek, Just below the eye, The bullet was found in the brain, into which it haid_pasaed obliquely to tho left and upwards. The skin about the wound was broken, aud blackened by powder, and the ends of tho hair had the apocarance of being sinzed, It was thiswound which caused Snanley’sdeath, The bulict, which was below medluin ‘size, was hore produced by the witness. On_ cross-examivation, witness admitted that the discoloration was’ not very perceptible, and the singeing of the halswus only about the ands, Lieut, Callahan testificd toscelng the powder- marks on Bhnnlera face when he discovered bim the mornlng aiter themurder, The prosccution rested, Mr. Van Buren asked Baillif Foley to bring Mrs. Fitzpatrick up from tho jufl, Mr, .\ll[‘lu asked i sho was contined there, Mr. Van Buren replied that he belicved she was cooking in the jail. Her name was on the back of the indictinont, as a witness for the prosccution, Mr Miils observed that the prosccution used good witnesses, Mr. Van Buren ralsed a Jaugh by remarking, #Yes, you do. But you try to hang them fira and usé them aftcr you hava failed in tho." Nns, FITZIATRICK, after & snitable time had been miven her to smooth her halr and fix up, came Into the court- room aml took the stand. 8he lived, at the tine of the inurder, at No. 125 Liberty strect, Bho saw the buggy drive up, with four Dersons wmit. Gannou got out, asked her If her son was In, and she suld no, Some onu inthe buagy raised the top, and she saw Morton and O'Boyle in the buguy, and & hesvy-set tnan with some. thing white around his neck, “The buegy scem- ed to be pulled down by his welzht, 8ho didn't think tils mystorlous fourth man could have been the defendant, QRORGN MARTIN, allas * Leggy," a lome boy, who came fnona crutch, took the atund for the defenso, and tes- tified that ho was not on the coricer of Brown and Wright streets that nizht. Howasin tho bugyy obout su hour—with Gannon, O'Boyle, aud Crawford, 1o would not swear thut this defendant was the Crawford he saw that ‘night or not, tte know_another man by the nume of Jos Crawford, It was a prewty dark nl|¢m aud he couldn't be posltive whatlier tho defendunt was thie man ho saw that nignt who passed by the name of Clawford or not.

Ho also declined to (:Xm any reason for nut nnswerinz that question. - He went down to M.

Ile left town on the night of the 1th, going to Indlan~ apolls and Cipeinnatl, where ho was arrested, Imducuncd to say whether he had ever lived In Wil County, but’ did say that he knew a man named Wiliam MeDonald b{ hearsay, [Ono de- slgn of these questions was to lay a fonndation to show that witness had been in tha Peniten- tiary.] Hedid not sco this McDonald on the morning of the 10th, did not mect him after the murder, tell hlim_all_about_ it, sleep with_him, and, In the early morning, ‘without McDonald's knowing It flee. Mr. Van Buren objected to this line of ques. Hoblig: 1a sald ho would aiye him five minutes 8 sald he wou gbject. By that time Willlam McDonald would be 1n court. . McDonuld did come in, Crawford sald he know him, and_his name was Willlam McDon- ald, Henow admitted that he had known him otherwise than by hearsay. e denfed that he had spent gle hour in his company during the early hours of July 10, 1877, and Intimated that McDonald could correctly infortn the Bmlf'n Avtorney on that point {f he told the truth. McDonald, smiling and foterested, sat by and 1oolced ot Mr. Mills got out of the witness that he also knoiw a man named McCarthy, Ho didn’t know tho namo of the street whera he lived, but could find the house. Questions s to whether witness waa ever convicted in the Crimmal Court, whother he hwl ever been in the Peuitentlury, whether he had been in the House of Correction In Cincine nat}, or in the Bridewell here, were objected to and withdrawn for the time belug, WILLIAM M’DONALD then took the atand, and tho Court himeelf, solemnly and cnmc-tly, administered tho oath. He testifled that ho "had been brought from Jollat, and that he bad known Crawford for ahout three vears, Mr. Van Buren objected to a question as to \svlmo h(:l had made Crawford's acquaintance, ustained. McDonald was asked where he was on the night of July 8-10 in July last. Mr. Van Buren also objected to this, Possible confesatons of Crawford shonld have been in- truduced on the direct examination, and noy in robuttal ‘The objection was overruled. McDonald safd he wason West Harrison strect that night, west of Clinton, at the houss of his sister, Miss McCarthy. It was o warm night and he went to sleep In o graln wagon In fron! of tho hou © Did you sco Crawford that night1" askea Mr. Milla. Mr. Van Buren entered an objection, but it was overruled, McDonald went ou to say that he did see Crawford the night of Shanley's murder. It was hetween 12 and 1 o'clock. Crawford came and got Into tho wagon and remained all night, and went away early fn the morning. * [fow do you know that was the night of Willlamn Shanley's murder i'* asked Mr. Mills, MecDonald—From his own lips, My, Van Buren objected before tha words wero fatrly out. It was the old objection, This, sald Mr. Van Burcn, wasn very adroft way of drawing out o confeasion. Mr. Milla was ready to argue the question, but sald If there was any doubt In the Court's mind as to the propriety of the question, he would withdraw it. ‘The Court donubted its propricty, and it was accordingly withdrawn. The defense called up JOIIN BINGHAN, & hackman, who corroborated the alibt business. Mo _thouslit, however, they got the younie Jad on West Washington street, and that ho tool them over to the Wesat 8ide, some place or othier, after the threatre. He wasn't nositive that it was the night of July ¥, but it wos about. that time. Mr. Mills admitted the fact of tho old indlct- ax:m o': Dec, 1, 1877, and tho record against unon. J0nN REMM, statlon-keeper at the Weat Madison Btreet Sta- tion, took the stund for the prosccution, and succeeded fn “busting™ at loast n part of the alibl, e was on duty ou the night of July 10, 1877, from § p. m. untl 7 0. m., and_ booked all risoners who eame fn between those hours, 1o could not remembertohave ever scen Craw- furd before, and could not find the name of Jobn Seott on the book for that period of time. JOUN ANERN, a photographer, of No. 136 Milwaukeo avenue, was brought iu and took the stand, Il testi- fied that be hnd lived there for fifteen yea: In 1877 ho occupled the upper part of the build- ing, aud there was a tobacco store down-atalrs, No )'olml,' woman lived there then, and no young lady cntered the bulldiug at night, as far 88 he knew, Mer, Van Buren clicited from the witness tho fact that the old number of hfs place was 46; that bo usually staved ut the house tiil 6o'clock {n the evenjug, and then went to bis bome on North avenue, Iio admltted that he took n good many pletures, and couldn't remember all who camo thore. Mr. Mills asked the witness if he took pic- f‘.:‘\,r‘u';!mr dork. Tho answer was a decided 0. MR, MILLS announced that the teatimony was all in, and becan lils address to the jury. At the begiu- ning of the case, ho sald, there might havo ex- fsted some doubt as to tho gullt of Joseph Crawford, but there could be none now. ’l'gla truth was cicar, and all cloud of doubt had de- parled.

The fasts of Crawford as the case pointed clearly to Joseph the man who fired that shat. stralghifurward evidence of Th corroborated as far as Crawlord's dre corned by tho testimony of the ladies of Georgs Martin himself, the defendant’s wit- ness, proved thut Crowford was thers atthe corner of Brown and Wright atreets, If §t had been the other Joseph Crawford, Msrtin's old- time friend, Martin would haye been likely to know it, But this defendant, to show that he was nio there, came Into court and added to the crime of murder that of perjury. The incon. sisteucles of tho alibl were thoroughly exposed by Mr. Mills—~the subterfugs about the slieged oung lady, tho refusal to give naines by whaich {he prosecition would be enabled to I-rur- thelle, the testimony of Blugham, cantradi dld, that of the defendant, and, lastly, tha un- contradicted testimony of Mclanal ) to whom Crawford came alono that July night and next to whout he lay down fn o wagou outside of a bullding, Thu smashing of this miserable frag- ment of an alibl showed that he was there. The position of the partles showed thas Crawford must have fired the shot, aud the fact that Bhanley's face wns discolored and histualr burn- ed with the powder marks proved that be did tho deed, Gaunon belug the farihest away, ('Boyle nearer, and Crawford next to bis vio- tim.

He comment- ed at length on ¢ timony of Ganuoa and Fitsgzeruld, claiming that they contradicted one auother {n scveral points. Accordlug ro Fita- gerald, the thres bovs were on oue corner; ac- cording to Ganuou, they wera on soother. “Ac- cordiug to the former's testimony, Gannon was the gulity party. If Gaunon's testimony was taken, why the use of Fltzgerald’s? The fact of the matter was tbat Gaunou was {othat party that night, realized that us ous of them hc was under the law gullty of tho erime, and was anllr!nfi now to save Liwself. But to credit the testiwony of tho ladics was W completely annihflate tha atories of (iannon and Fitzgerald. But thers was stlll a mystery surrounding Lhis matter, Who was the myate- rious man with the handkerchiell According to the testimony of Mrs. Fitzpatrick, the welirht of thie myaterlous character horo down the Luggy-spring over which he sat. Clearly, the man with the white hanakerchief could not be defcudant, whose welght would not be auflicient todo that. There had heen cates nf iniataken Jdentity and gurely circumatantial evidence, several of which Mr. Latshaw read, all going to rhow that iur(e\ must procced In making up their verdicts with extreme- cantbon, “There waos nothing to show who this mystartons man with the handkerchiet was, or thai lie mdizit nut have done the deed, and, until the jury were absolutely sure in their minds that Crawford waa there; and that he was the inon who fired the shot, they should hold him golithesk: | At the conclusion of Mr. Latshaw’s able ad- dress, the Conrt gave tho furr the’usual cau. tion about converaing in regard fo the case, and an adjournment was taken until this morning.
