THE M'MAHON MURDER. Yesterday morning it was decldod by the police authorities to expedite matters In the MeMahon case, and in accordance with that decision the witnesses were subpenaecd to Appear at the Town-Hall, Lake, this morn- Ing, where tho Inquest will be concluded, Mrs, Reldy and Mrs, Mack, ladies In the house where O'Neil boarded, enlled yeater- day moriuing on Mr. Thomas Crotty, to se- cure hls services ns. counsel, and gave a rynopsts of tho testimony which they will put forth at. tho Inquest, If the Coroner will admit of evidence Indefense. Their story is this: O'Neil is a hard-working young fel- low of excellent disposition and characte his only: glaring fault bemg a disposl- tion to go upon a hilarious jamborco every méhth when pald off. The day before the murder, Monday, he received his wages, and in accordance with time-honored custom proceeded to holst 1s much Lake Town tanglefoot aboard as ho could hold—which was sbout twice as much as he could carry. The engineer of the brick works where O'Neil is employed, found him lying In a ditch asleep at sundown, and with extreme diftieulty conveyed him home, faud- ing him in the housont 7 p in, O'Neil wanted then to go atl taper oil on heer, but two boys—sons of his landlady, Mra. Reldy— stole bis coat, vest, and hat to keep him at home. O'Neil searched for his clothing for some tine, and finally, about 8 o’tlock, went to bed with the boys, - At about 12:30 that night four Reldy, 9 chum of O’Neil’s, cameback from a visit, and looked Juto O'Nell’s roo to see it he was yet abed, for It was the Habit of the chins each to leave the door unlatehed if the other was still out. Seeing O'Neil abed and inadranken sleep, he locked tho door and went to hisroom. In tho morning, shortly after 5 o'clock, Mrs, Reldy awoke O'Neil and the boys that slept with lim, Owing to lily spree, he had no sppetite, and would eat nothing. The boys guve lit his cont and hat, and he left with them for the brick-yard, opposit MeMahon’s place, and two and a halt miles away. O’Nell is, according to Mrs. Reidy, an ex- ceedingly sound sleeper even when sober, and itis next to Impossible to wake him when drunk, Mrs, Mack corroborated Mrs, Reidy’s opln- fon of O’Nell’s character and habits, and went on to explain the fuet thata ladder was found resting against O'Nell’s window,—a powerful strand In the clew which led to his arrest, Sic herself placed the Indder thero D ot 0-3 o 0-2 3 while doing some repairing, and, so far from belng any ald to O'Neil in gettin, ‘his room, it would a out “of absolutely prevent his so doing, as tho clased. shutters of his window conld not ba opehed while it was there! Besides, what need had O'Neil to uso a lndder to get onto o wine dow two fevt from ihe proud? She then epoka of tho absurdity of his having nny mo- tive for the deed, not being quarreisome, hay- ing no appreciation of money, and ‘hein, rel ey. in possession Gf G15, when brought home drunk, Mrs. Mack then oxpressed her indignation at the manner slic lind been treated at the Armory when she eafled to see O'Neill, Tho Sergeant at the desk, she sald, wouldu’t an- swer her at all when sho asked. permission, but rudely stared at her and resumed his newspaper, When she called again to bring O’Nell some dinner he kept her walt.

At least a half-dozen efforts were made yes- terday to get him te tell who his assailants were, and also to tell why they did their best to end his life, but he stubbornly stuck to tho story which he first told, and which has been fully Proved to bo false, Lieut, Beadell yesterday recolved a letter from one who witnessed the shooting, ‘There were many to be found who Baw the party both before and after the shoot- ing, but this ono Is the only porson known who actually siw tho shot fired, Ho writes that the three men wero seated together Inthe Hght wagon recovered by the police and turned over to the owner, Mr, Beek, Thoy had evidently been out some little distance in the country, asthe horse ap- peared to be tired out, The man who sat on the right hand sido appenred to be quarreling with tho other two, aud, suddenly drawing a revolyer, placed it close to the next man’s heatLand fired.
