"THE" ALLENS PISTOL, How It Drove a Bullet Through the Brain of a Friend, THE MOLLOY INQUEST. No Evidence of Antagonism Between the Two Men, ——_-—_-— Within astone’s throw of where “Eddy” Molloy Was shot the inquest over the body was held yester- day. A Strange audience listened to the testimony, Alling every goat and blocking up the doorways of tho room in the Coroners’ building. It wag an audi- ence that came in early and quickly and watched \be proceedings with cagerness rather than curiosity. There were faces sharpened by rough experience, eyes dulled by the glare of gaming houses and cheeks blanched by nights of Wasted wakofuiness, They belongea to tho cirol Where such men as Theodore Allen find themselv and take the Jead; where their virtues are most ex- tolled, their faults furthest extenuated. Many of the personal friends of Allen were in the room, but his political associates wore conspicu- ously absent, Coroner Woltman and Deputy Coroner Cushman conducted the examipation, the jury of ten men sitting to their right, ‘The,’ Allen came in with Captain Byrnes, neatly attired apd solf- coutrolied, but saliow aud worn. He sat by the side 01 his couasel, Kdward Price and ex-Judge Curtis, but hardly exchanged a word with ‘them during the pro- ceedings. His chair was near the end of the row of Jurora, who would now and then bend forwara to e: amine bis face intently. Allen’s eyes sometimes mot theirs with a calm, almost indifferent look, though for the most part his attention was riveted on the wit- mosses. At important portions of sestimony he would lean toward the speaker and noa affirmatively whon hehoard what his own mind corroberated, Bebind him were the witnesses, including bis brother, John Allen and his daugtiter, Minnie, about nineteen years of age, who woro a very sorrowtul face and listened to jhe evidence with paintul interest.
