John O'Brien testified that he went to the Tax Collector's office on the morn- | ing of January 8 to tell Sheehan that his son, who was a deputy in the office would not ve down that day, as he had to sing in a choir. He was asked by the deputies to stay and help them,.as they expected trouble. He was stationed at the counter, with. the leg of a chalr for a | weapon, with instructions to allow no one | he to get over the counter. Salomon, sald, shot him across the counterr. He remained in the office about five minutes after being shot and was then taken to the Recelving Hospital. On cross-exami- nation he contradicted himself several times. He denied that he nad struck any one with the leg of the chair before he was shot, but sald he might have rajsed it.

At the opening of the eivil war he was residing in | Fort Wayne, Ind., where, on April 16, 151, among the earliest there fo respond to Presi- dent Lincoln's call for three months' volun- | teers, at the age of 18 years, he enlisted and was mustered in as sergeant of Company E, | Ninth Indlana Volunteers. While In this ser- vice he participated In the engagements at Philippi, Laurel Hill, and Carrick's Ford, W. Va. Hé was mustered out at the expiration of the term of service, July 21, 1561, and as- sisted in organizing Company A, Thirtieth In | dlana Volunteers, which was mustered into ser- | vice on August 20, 1561, with him the first lieu- | tenant; ‘and he served in the Department of | the Ohfo under General Buell, and was pro- moted captain in front of Corinth, Miss., on May 7, 1862, being then 19 vears old. e served in command of this company in all the opera- tions of the Army of the Cumberland until July, 1864, when he was assigned as inspector of the staff of General Grose, commanding the Third | Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps (Army of the Cumberland), in which capacity he served until November, 1564, when he was relieved to take command of his regiment. When it veteranized he was promoted to lleu- tenant colonel November 15, 184, and com- manded it, and was commissioned a colonel on February 10, 1865, being then not quite 22 years old. Muster on the colonel's commission was withheld under the then existing laws, because the regiment did not have the required strength. He was brevetted colonel of volun- teers on March 13, 1365. After the surrender of the Confederate armies he was ordered to Texas, where, on account of the good condi- tion and discipline of his regiment, he was asslgned to an independent command by the division commander, taking part In every march, campaign, battle and skirmish in which spent a vear in M it was engaged until mustered out in December, 1865. After the close of the Civil War he studied law and attended the law department of Har- vard University, and while there. after the re- organization of ‘the army, July 28, 1566, he re- ceived an appointment as second lleutenant in the Forty-first Regular Infantry, which he de- clined; but on April 4. 1367, the appointment was again tendered and accepted. After a long military career, during which he distinguished himself in campalgns against the Indians, he was appointed on September 17, 1885, and inspector general, Was promoted ant colonel and inspector general on 12, 1889, and colonel and or general on July 17, 1898, being then a brigadier general of volunteers in tha fiald jn Cuba, Ha maseed , major lteuten- TO THEIR REST as assistant in_ the inspector general's office in Washington from September, 188, until De- cember, 1893, his accurate judgment and large military experience being of invaluable aid in the performance of the many delicate and im- portant duties of administration, investigation and Inspection. Nor was his activity confined merely to office duties, but was widely ex- tended and occasionally led effectively toward important improvements and reforms relating to such fundamental questions as the recruit- ing and remount establishment. When the war with Spain began he was serving as inspector general of the southern district and at once asked to be given service in the field, and on May 4, 1898, was appointed brigadier general of volunteers and assigned to the command of a division in the Bighth Army Corps, again under General Bhafter, which was largely composed of regulars. The duty assigned to his command was to lead in the landing, and during the first strategic march in Cuba, and in July, 1898, his command was the point d’appui of the operations against the Spanish forces, which he illustrated brilliantly in the gallant capture of El Caney. His able and dauntless work galned for him the approval of his superiors and the plaudits both of his fellow-citizens and comrades. On July 8, 1598, he was made major general of Volunteers. 'After serving for a time as mili- tary Governor of Santiago de Cuba he returned to Washington and was assigned to the com- mand of the Fourth Corps; subsequently was relieved from it and sailed for the Philippine Islands through the Suez canal in the transport Grant, in January, 189, initiating such a move- ment of American troops, and on his arrival was assigned to the command of First Divi sion, Eighth Army Corps. On April 10 captured Santa Cruz, a Filipino stronghold. Soon a‘terward he led the attack on San Ra- fael, one of the hottest fights of the insurrec- tion.
