Oratorical Attorneys Firing Eloquence at the Intelligent Twelve, DRAWING THE SHEEDY TRIAL TO A CLOSE, Picking the Testimony to Pleces— Hall's Address and Review of the State's Case —Defense Well Argued. Lixcory, Neb,, May 2,—Special to Tur Bre.—The day in the great Sheedy case was devoted almost entirely to brilliant and pointed oratory. Cap- win W, H. Woodward eaded his argument and attacked strongly the evidence for the prosecution and intimating in almost as many words that the real murderers had not been arrested, and startled tho great crowd by mentioning the names of certain persons whom he believed might mitted the murder. Mr Fraak M. Hall lowed in rkable h that consua \he greater part of the and held the sp tators spellbound with its eloquence. At 8 o'clock this moraing Mr. Woodward resumed tho thread of his argument, which was interrupted yestorday. He reiterated his statement that the alleged confessions were the invention of some mind other than that of Monday McFariand. Ho declared that had Monday McFarland borrowed for murderous purposes the revolver that was referred o in evidence, the negro would have remembered from whom he borrowed it, but he does not remember from whom he did getait. “T defy the gentle the part of the prosecution,” he continued, have com- fol- tell me why they had a shorthand reporter behind the curtain at the time that the al leged confession was made il they believe, claim, that my poor colored client is The attorney then drew a very vivid picture, in which he en- deavored to make it apparent that ~Hpecial Oficer Krause must have been the murderer. “The fact that he was standiog near a tree in front of the Shecdy residence,’ he continued, “waiting, as he claimed, for the clectric car half a block away, is very sus- picious. Why was Krause standing there at that time! Hesays that Sheedy fired at aum once and he had to get behind a tree. He says that the man who assaulted Sheedy ran uth to the alley ana ran around the block, wuere he wus stopped by two officers. Then had been he told the officers that Sheedy assaulted by somebody, aud that somebody Fiad run down through the aliey. It was like the fellow who cried, ‘stop thief,’ when was the thief himself.” Mr. Woodward then declared that Hyman Goldwater never had the cane in his posses- sion, and asserted that the whole ~story of the sale of the cane had veen manufacturea by Detoctive Malone and Goldwater, “The whole story,” he continued, ‘‘shows she ability of Gold- waterto lie. He wanted money, and thrt is what he was after when he dipped h in perjur; ldwater claims tha sold the lor. Whereis Taylor! Why haven't they brought him on the witness stanai The prosecution has utterly an@ miserably failed 10 prove any part of the coufession. They bave failed to show that the curtain of the window looking out on the porch was up. They say that the fact that Stepney and McFarland changed coats sigwifies nothing. 8s Lhat wus a common occurrence, and the exchange was made on the preceding Tues- day. What witness is there who nas sworn that the riug found in_the pawn shop was the one given to Monday McFarland by Mrs. Sheedy! Mr. Hall, d the speake 1 me, if you can, where Frank Williams, the gambler, was on that fateful night.

The evidence of this doctor shows that he was one of the con- pirators who are after the blood money of Dennis Sh”dz' Mr. Frank M. Hall then addressed the jury on behalf of the state. He apologized to the jury for appearing befdre them, as he had never Y“ iously been conuectea with a criminal case. He then launched forth into one of the most brilliant and stivring speeches ever heard in the district court room. “The defense has been trying,’ said he, to make you believe that the prosecu tion has been working in this solely for blood money. There has been more said about this than auy action of the prose- cution woula warrant. I have naughtagainst the prisoners at the bar. 1 wouid not lift my finger to harm them in any manner. But this is not a time for morbid sentimentality. You have a duty to perform, and so have 1 1am willing to perform mine and have at- tempted sotodo. If there has been more vigor exnibited by me in the prosecution of this case than the defense has liked, let mo assure you and them that it has been prompted by an honest motive, “Our motives have been co:tinually ugned by the defense at every opportunity. E\nl they cry that a reward was offered for the conviction of the murderers, Are we to be abused and slandered because u reward was offeredt Why, gentlemen, what would you expect woull be done when n great crime has been comwmitted? Must we do nothing for the appreheusion and punishment of the criminals? This crime we believe was planued by & woman, and the negro McFarland was ¢ ly a tool used to consummate t old- blooded assassination. Sbe plauned it in the silent hours of her meditation in her home, and we believe that Mrs. Sheedy is the woman who planned this terrible crime and McFarland was her pliant tool in i nt of hier dreadful purpo He bad tho physical strength to strike the terrible blow, but she had not.

He was coaxed, conrced and pushed uutil this crime was committed Mr. Hall then reviewed the facts le: up to the murder, Mrs. Sheedy's intimacy with Walstrom, heralleged reasons for wish. ing to have her husband put out of the way, McFariand's confession and the certaioty of its truthfuloess, after which court adjourned until the afternoon. In the afternoon Mr. argument 0w the learned aavocate who addressed you vesterday tried to convince you that this prosecution was being waged ‘against Mrs. Sheady from a venai purpose, and he thought that if the spirit of 'John Sheedy %= Hall resumed his could speak from the great beyoud he would say to Dennis Sheedy, for God's sake, stop that prosecution of my be- loved wife! If John Sueedy's spirit could speak from that place, he would tell a different story. I have no doubt that John She s spirit has visited this woman in her solitary confiuement more than once since it took its flizat, ana I would to God that you might know the story that Johu Sheedy’s spirit could tell. He would teil a would stir the pulses of your heart. He would tell a story that has not been told by the witnesses upon this stand. He would tell you what occurred in his home cle after he was assaultea and unless that spirit t tory, I fear you will neve Know it e only people who do know it, do not see fit totell it *'You have heard ot the murder of King Claudins. How his spirit returned and chided his only son for not prosecuting his most cruel and foul murder. Do you believe Dennis Sheedy 1s prosecuting this case for the paltry amount that will fall to bas share of the estate of John Sheedy! Why,ifa wife can murder ber husband in an ealight- ened, Christian community, and the brother would uot raise his arm to defend it, to avenge it, to prosecute the guilty party, he would ba unworthy the name of a brother, and I think Johu Sheedy’s spirit would come back to haunt bhim and chide bim for the brotherly duty nevlected and unfulnlied. “Mr. Courtnay celis what Dennis Steedy did for this woman before she was sus- pected, before she was arrested, before the finger of suspicion ‘mlnwd to her, that ne ar- ranged everything o the most systematic or- der. He replenished her bank account witn #550 that he had collected from different peo- ple who owed his brother's estate, Ihd he sweep it down in bis own pocket and skin out home!"" Mr. Hall spoke in this strain for avout an hour longer. Mr. R. D. Stearns, counsel for Mrs. Sheedyv, next addressed the jury. He characterized the action of County Attorney Snell in this prosecution as that of a bound-out boy. He scored him for pluying a secondary part and not doiug more questionug and cross-ques- tioning. He condemned the alleged charity of Dennis Sheedy in giving Mrs. Sheedy £ “This is wonderful charity,’”” said he, “‘when we remember that he took home with bim a valuable gold watch and chain and other articles not belonging to him. This action is to be investigated later. What eredence can you give to Goldwater's testi- mony after he told the story that be did to Burr about Jim Malone offering bim a reward of “$00! It would take a maguifying glass of 2,000,000 power to find the veracity of Goldwater, particularly if Jim Malone had polished him up. This man did as he did because he wished to stand in with the officers, and was after gain, remarkable instance in this case is that several persons haa passed and repassed on the porch, it had been scanned in search for blood spots. but the caue had not been found} Flally twenty minutes had passed befors It was discovered there. Why don't the prose- cution prove that the caue was not put tnere after John Sheedy was taken into the house! Auotner remarkable circumstance is the fact that the prosecutior has nol proved that the ring bad been given to Mouday McFarland. Could rot they have proved this by half a dozen witnesses. *“The prosecution would make yeu believe that Mrs, Sheedy is a monster of wickedness. The face of Mrs. Sheedy indicates that of & cultured or at least refiued woman. If you have scanned the face of Mrs. Sheedy you cannot help but see that it is a refutation of the scandalous, cruel and wicked lies that the prosecution ave so glib in relating. You canuot find anvbody wno can believe the story of illicit intercourse with the negro. It could not have happened at all. It never did happen. Just think to what depths of deg- radation a woman would have to sink to be guilty of such a thing. Nature herseif re- futes, denies aud condemns the awful story, 3 'Just think, gentlemen of the jury, of the absurdity of a lover being willing t kill a man so that another lover might supplaut the man who did the killing, 1s such a thing probable! And yet that is the way that the prosecution” would have you believe. They claim that Monday MecFarland, out of his love for Mrs. Sheedy, killed M licedy so that another lover, Waistrom, might carry her away. It isout of the range of human resuniption of pood character like that of innocence is always held until proven otherwise, and the attoroeys for the prosecu- tion have no right to have you presume other- wise.” i PHILADELFPH 8 TREASUKRER.

In brief it d that the administration was con- sidering seriously an alliance, offensive and defensive, with F and Russia, so as to make thisan invincible war nation without an increase of the army or navy expenses and that the presideut was about to put an end to the insurreation in Chill. The article was written in the cautious style of the diplomat, but with tho continuous intimation that he knew more than he would say. And thus it was plausible on its face and created for a while something of sensation. In quarters where diplomatic secrets are known the statements were declared to have no foundation what- ever.

WAsHINGTON, May 2. —When the supreme court atits last term upheld the constitu- tioaality of the Eamauds law, by which the propetty of the late corporation of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, other- wise known as the Mormon chiurch, was es- eated to the United States, it found itself in a somewhat embarrassing position. The doctrine of escheat was quite unknown in this country and no purpose considered laud- ableand proper of a similar nature to that for which the proverty was formerly used was kuown to which the property could be | devoted. The court therefors, ivstead of sendiug its decreadown, withheld it, as intimation beiug conveyed of the d. the court that congress should by law direct the disposition to be made of the property. Congress baving failed to adopt the sugges- tion, the court through Justice Braaly, yes- terday made its final order in the case and modified in some re: s the udecree iten- tered at tne last term. The modification made recites that as the Mormon corporation has been dissolved there does not now exist trusts or purposes withiu the objects and purposes for which the personal property was originally acquired, could be used or dedicated that are’ not in whole or part op- opposed to public policy and public morals, and furthermore, that there does not exist any person or corporation legally entitled to any of the personality as successors of the late church. The decrce theu says that the personal property baving devolvea to the Dinitea States, 1t ahoutd bs dovoted. to sk charitable uses, lawful in character, as may most nearly correspond to its former destiny, unless in the meantime congress shall other- wise dircet or a master shall report some scheme which shall meet the approval of the court for the distribution of the property. The decree finaily directs that the prop- erty and all accumulations remain in the cus- tady of the receiver until otherwise ordered wnd that out of it the costs of the suit and receivership shail be paid. The Utah su- preme court 1s directed to take the necessary proceedings, i AT b To Open Another Reservation, Srokaxe Faus, Wash, May 20.--The commissloners appointed to negotiate with the various tribes of Indians now occupying tbe great Colville reservation morth of this city. bave returned.

Lovnoy, May 25.—The chancoilor of the exchequer, Hon rge J. Goschen, said that the government would consent to hear the Newfoundland delegates at the bar of the house, *“The Newfoundland land bill," continued Mr. Goschen, “will be heard on ‘riday next."” Mr. Goschen added that the fore the New foundland logislature was | its operation ue year, which al government could not cept in nent with France, | On the see ading of th aget bill today Sir William Veraon Harcourt, who was chaucellor of the exchequer under Glad- stone’s last adwinistration, attacked the pol- iey of afr. Goschen, the present chancellor of the exchequer, claiming that it was | subversive to the recognized principles ot English finance. The house knows, he said, that the governmeat's frea education plans would absorh over £1,000,000, but the house was 1ot informed as to the method by which the money was to be applis Tha proposal to buy Mr. G 's “pig in a poke” struck At the root of the principle of taxes and should not be voted until tho house was thoroughly informed in regard to how the mo was to be used.

It was a violation of the sound principle that the expeuditures of each year should be met out of the year's nu would not refuse to pass the , but he desired to elicit the opinion of the house on the manuer in whicn the money was to be spent. He wanted to know the in- tentions of the goverament in regard to tbe coiuage of gold; also as to what part the rnment took in conuection with the Baving cuar the opinion of the the 's course in the mat- dangerous pracedent. If the gov- eriment propped up one house why should 1t not prop up the other houses! r.

The admiralty | dealt with a ‘vastamount of shup building, extending over a poriod of years, and, though d for this year, it was cossary to ° estunate as extending beyoud the year. Touching upon the sub- ject of ~ the Baring guarantee, Mr. Coschen said that no part of this guaran- tee was undertaken, directly or indirectly, by the goverament, though much pressure was brougtit to bear upon it in order to induce it tocome to the assistance of tho firm. Continuing, Mr. GGoschen said that the amount of pre-victorian gold, together with the light goid coin witharawn from circula- tion, was ‘less than the estimated issuz of new gold coin. I'he coinage in question therefore would not involve auy additional buraen on the treasury, LY TIME WITH STRIKERS. Parisian Stage Drivers To> 8 for the Police to Handle. Panis, May 26.—The strike of stage driv- ers continues today and is causing much ex- citement. Enormous crowds of people sur- round the depots of the omnibus company, around which there is a stroog guard of po- lice and troops. The company assisted by the police today attempted to run several stages. The strikers first stoned them and then made a charge, driving away the police, The drivers were dragged from the boxes and pounded vigorously aund their stages overturnea, cfforts of the police were useless in the face of the overwnelming mob, At one time it was thought the troops would be called upon, but it 1s expected they wiill not be ordered out unless the situation be- comes very seriou Public sympathy is with the strikers, who areout for shorter hours and the reinstate- ment of some of their companiovs who were discharged because they belonged to the union. Many of the newspapers of the city have opened subscriptions on behalf of the strikers and their families, 1n order to cnable them to successfully push their fight. Eighty additional arrests of strikers were made this morning. This makes about one hundred aud thirty strikers who are in cus- tody of the police.” The cabinet has been se- riously comsidering all the aspects of the stage drivers’ strike and it bas been discoss- ing the advisability of winding up the stage compuany's affairs or of taking the company's business into the hauds of the government for the present. The Central Labor commission has adopted a proposition forbidding public conveyance companies to employ men for more than twelve hours per day. Later.—It is aunounced that the govern- ment has decided to intervene in the stage drivers’ strike. It is added that the govern- ment’s determination to ioterfere in the strike is solely for the purpose of assuring conveyance for the public, who naturally suffer cousiderably from the total suspension of the stages Cokessa, May veated disturbar Ly ~There have been re- and conflicts here be- tween the strikers and the police. Many of of the strikers have been wounded and many others havo been arrested. The major- ity of thestores throughout the city have been closed and & panic pre among the better classes, who fear more serious rioting 1 the probable looting of their dwellings.
