Evid of trickery on the part of Hammond became very plain last Men- day when Walter Fahy, the 'only eye- | witness to the accident, saild he had been | offered a place by Hammond if he would i | testify that young Sheehan's injuries were_due to his own carelessness, and that at the time he was hurt he was playing with a stick and not polishing a telephone box, as was claimed. VACILLATING TESTIMONY. Fahy so testified and the chances of young Slieehan of recovering pecuniary damage for the loss of the use of his hana seemed very slim until Fahy was €ro xamined. Then the witness broke ac and testified that he had been ap- proached by Hammond ard persuaded, mnder promise of employment, to tell a concocted tale. When the case was called yesterday morning Fahy was recalled to the wit- ness stand by Attorney Redman for the defense, who sought to show that Fahy was frightened and had testified as he had becanse he fedared Attorney Theo Roche for the plaintiff. Like an obedient child Fahy so testified, clusively that his mind was not under his control, but was subject to influence by suggestions and, as events proved, by promises. Fahy was a very much scared youth when he took the witness stand. He quivered and shook and gazed apprehen- sively about the cpurtroom, never for a moment allowing his eyes to rest upon a single object. His manner, more than his words, showed he was an easily led boy and his testimony showed that if he was acting under instructions his teachers were not apt educators, or he was too stupld to retain the story he was to tell. He wound up his tale by announcing that Mrs. Sheehan had promised him one- fourth of any sum she might recefve as damages if he would testify to facts calculated to influence the jury in her favor. SAYS HAMMOND VISITED HIM. John G. Cullinan, who was with Fahy | and Mrs, Sheehan at the time the offer was said to have been made, said Mrs. Sheehan had made no such offer to Fahy. Under cross-examination Fahy admitted that his employer, Hammond, had visited showing con- | orner, was then called to the stand. He admitted knowing that Fahy was. the 5 1o the d also im at I home; but de- that had promised 1d tell a concoctec jury nd forgetful, only after de ild not remember, ¢ at the Fahy ho uing, he rccident e L eehan boy bave becn playing with, z immond ement con- tradictory to that made by his foreman, D. P. Buckley BUCKLEY CONTRADICTS. Buckley sald that wpon his arrival at | the scene of the accident a few minutes, fter Hammond aw the stick, and at it bad blood upon it. Hammond also denied having sent Buckley to Fahy to offer him a job, and the foreman cont n by saying he was sent | to make him a tender of r shops. McCormick, ahy's Hammond's visit She sald nothing the case. “The visit was just to freshen | his memory a bit in regard to the stick,” she sald. Nothing else was said.” In | making an explanation of her son's mer curial testimony she said he was Influ enced by .the Sheehans. She gaild she | | heard he was under their influence, but | could not remember the name of any | person who informed her of the existence | of the influence. | D. P. Buckley's testimony was interest- | | ing in that it showed that the defendant | in the suit was greatly interested in | young Fahy. He said that a few wcek!i | ago he was sent out to see Fahy and told i bim to call at the office of Hammond & { Co., that he had a place for him in the | shop. The boy did so, said Buckley, the | Monday following his call. He made a statement in writing, said Buckley, con- cerning his knowledge of the accident, and on the Friday following was put to | work. Buckley could not explain how it | was that Fahy was put back to work | after he had been discharged a short | | time after the accident, when he made | |a statement to Attorney Roche contra- | | dictory to the one he made to Hammond. The case went to the jury at 5 o’'clock after an argument lasting a half-hour by | each of the attorneys. Roche’s tatk was | an appeal to the jury to render a verdict for damages, not only as a rebuke to the alleged methods employed by Hammond, but as a recompeise to young Sheehan for the permanent injury to his hand. At- terney Redman’s thirty minutes were | used in calling upon the jury to remem- | ber the absurdity of the charge of per- | jury and witness-fixing, and to render a verdict in accordance with the testimony. Hammond and Fahy were both released on their own recognizances upon tht promise of Attorney Redman that they | would be in court at 10 o’clock this fore- | noon. . a place in the c Mrs. seribed | mother, de- her home. to l Cornoisseurs of perfect godds appreciate ‘Jesse Moore'” Whisky for its purity and d lightful flavor.

The celebration of the golden jubilee of Mother M..Bernard Comerford, the supe- rior of Sacred Heart Presentation Con- vent, at the corner of Taylor and Ellis streets, yesterday proved an ‘occasion of giad rejoicing for the 300 pupils who at- tend the school and the hundreds of oth- ers who have graduated and gone forth to take their places in the world. In the morning mass was sald in the convent chapel by Archbishop Rlordan. It was attended by numerous representatives of the Cathollc clergy, among whom were Fathers Ramm, Mulligan, Dempsey, Han- nigan, Byrne, O'Reardon of Berkeley, Lahey of Sonoma, Collins and Welsh (Jesuits) of San Jose, Kirby and Quill, brothers of Sacred Heart College, Father Comerford of Sacred Heart par- | ish. Besides there were present sisters of all the religious orders, including sisters | | | theé Holy Cross, of Mercy and of St. Jo- seph. At the conclusion of the mass Arch- | bishop Riordan placed a golden wreath on the brow of the Mother Superior as a tcken of the fifty yvears which she had spent in the service of God. The aged | Mother Superior, kneeling before the al- tar to receive the wreath from the Arch- | bishop, surrounded by the priests and sisters and her pupils, formed a plcture that will not soon be forgotten by those | who had the pleasure of witnessing it. Archbishop Rlordan preachgd a short but impressive sermon, congratulating the Mother Superior on haying spent so many rs in the service of God. In the name the Catholic clergy, of the Catholic people throughout the city and of the thousands of children whom she has in structed in the love of God, he thanked | her for her services to the church.
