HANNIGAN IN THE TOMBS, Formally Committed on the Charge of Murdering His Sister’s Betrayer, INQUEST NEXT WEDNESONY, For the First Time He Showed Symptoms ot Breaking Down. HIS NERVE SEEMS SHAKEN. No Counsel or Relative Present in Court When He Was Ar- raigned To.Day, Not until the doors of the Tombs pri- gon closed behind him at exactly noon to-day; not until the keys had been turned in the massive lock that shut him into a narrow cell, did David Francis Hannigan seem to reafize that he was under arrest on the charge of murder. The great nerve which he had dis- played from the moment when he shot Solomon H. Mang, the alleged betrayer of his sister Loretta, seemed to disap- id nothing, but the twitching about his mouth indicated how keenly he felt his position. He also knew that Solomon’ Mann was dead, Once in the Tombs cell he sat on the Uttle cot and leaned his head on his hands. He was weak, but the weak- ness did not last long. He tapped his foot imratiently on the floor for a time, and tien springing to his feet he began to pace the narrow, dimly lighted apart- ment. Coroner Must Now Act. All the prelinginary forms of the law have now been complied with, He has been committed tn a police court to avsit the action of the Coroner, and the latter in turn has consigned him to the gloomy-looking prison on Centre street, to await the opinion of the Coro- jury. No matte: what the latter decide on, Hannigan will have to face the Grand Jury and on its indictment he must stand trial. Interest in the case now centres on the inquest. It has been set down by the Coroner for Wednesday morning next at 10 o'clock. The witnesses to the.shoot- ing will then’ be on hand and the whole story will be gone over again. Not the least imortant plece of evidence will be the revolver with which the abeot- ing was done. No Lawyer Nor Relative Near Him. ‘There was something out of the ordi- nary rtin of things about the scene in the Yorkville Police Court this morning whore fo th. second time Hannigan was called upon to face Justice Hyan. Neither friend nor relative was in the court room, something which seemed to eurorise Pann gan very much, Neither was his lawyer there, ‘The man who avenged his sister by taking the life of another looked about the court-room to catch sight of a friendly face, but could see nothing save the curious, who wanted to see how he would undergo the ordeal, The big crowds of yesterday were also conspicu- ous by their absence. Justice Ryan waited until 11 o'clock before calling Hannigan to the bar, In the mean time Policeman Kearns, who had made the arrest, was swearing to a new compmint.. That of yesterduy was one of felonious assault with a deadly weapon. To-day the more serious charge of murder was sworn to. When the complaint had been drawn up the clerk called Hannigan over to esk him the usual questions—his name, age, occupation, residence and what he. had to say to the charge. He began by asking if his counsel, ex- Judge Hammer, was present, and on be- ing answered In the negative, the clerk gave the usual caution: that he had a Tight to decline to answer any and all questions. While etill giving the caution Justice Ryan leaned over and said: Warned About His Answers, “Be careful in that case, if the pris- oner's counsel is not here. Explain explicitly what his rights are about answering.” ‘Then to each question as it was put to him Hannigan simply said: “J decline to answer.” The formality having been disposed of, the prisoner was led before the Court and the same forms were gone through, Justice Ryan invited Hannigan up on the platform and spoke to him in an earnest manner, The formal commit- ment without bail was then made out, There was a big’ change in Hannigan's appearance from yesterda hen he looked dirty and careworn, To-day he had on a neat black sult, His hair was brushed we!l back from hs forehead and he had clean linen and neckwear As soon as it became known that the man was held without bail the 01 one hundred or > people in the eourt- room filed out and e a rush to the prison gate. Their curiosity was not satisfied, Policeman Kearns, however, —sur- prised them, as instead of going to the prison he led his man out by the pn entrance and up to Third avenue, w doth boar a cable car. A pair of handcuffs joined them together, The trip downtown Was made without incident. Few, if any, in the car were aware ef Hannigan’s Identity. ‘The couple got of at Canal street and walked tnnoticed over to Criminal Courts Bullding and up by one of the elevators to the fourth floor, Coroner O'Meagher was on duty, and to him the case Was take! Beiore Core r O'Mengher. The Coroner's private office tx not more tha tw f by eight, and in that room there w hesiles the Coro- ner, clerk, policemen and prisoner Just four aper men. Hannigan | sat moodly in a chatr, tapping his foot sly en the floor. while the clerk nother alfidavit for the poites- year to. minutes were taken up in that the officer had ‘oroner Kuve Hanni- then, the ¢ ‘and Ben the same advice as to hier t man the #atne advice as to bis ty eeuse' ve "guswot,diaving” concluded, work, he turned to the feal- Bt vence Aa prisoner and ina f “Iam very sorry, very sorry, for thi unfortunate business, Very ory, ‘ine The tone was so kindly that Hannl- gan half started und was beginning to Well,” he began, then suddenly checked himself and’ turned us head Just as he did in the Police Court Hannigan refueed to answer questions, Saying that he nad been instructed not to do so. Once the Coroner interrupted his clerk to say: Don't quesiion him any more. His Position ts @ painful one enough, He declines to answer.” ‘The officer and prisoner made their exit by a private door, and just as they Were about entering’ an elevator the handcuffs w used again. ‘Two. or three women, Who saw the handcuffini turned and looked at Hannigan cut ously, but no one spoke to him, Three minuies later the prisoner was in the ‘ombs. Hannigan spent a quiet night in the Yorkville prison, ‘The same cool de- Mmeahor which characterized him imme- diately after the shooting was apparent all last ening and until about o'clock, when he fell asleep. | Before that he had greedily disposed of dinner and supper. “He had also found much comfort in smoking @ number of cigars. He had also seen his father and brother, and seemed considerably cheered up by their visit. None of the jail officials told Hannigan that Mann ha died of his injuries, al- though the fact was known to all of them within an hour after the.end came. ‘This morning, however, and before breakfast was served to him, he asked for and received all the morning pi He searched for his own story, first thing that there caught his eye wai the fact that his victim had died, Showed No Surprise. The officers present watched him par- tlcularly to ee if he would make any vard sign of indicating the thoughts h must have been filtting through ain, They declare that not even id quivered, nor did he make the slightest comment His coolness was considered remarkable. Neither did the news of Mann's death have the slightest effect upon his ap- petite. He ate heartily the food set be- fore him, reading the papers between bites. Then when the meal was con- cluded, he eat on a bench with his coat off and finished the reading of the Papers. everal attempts were made to get him to talk about his case, but he turned a deaf ear to all the questions. He had concluded to obey the injunc- tlon of his lawyer. The last chapter in Solomon H. Mann's life closed at 8.30 o'clock last Bight, when bis soul winged its fight to another world, Two hours later the body was removed to his father's res! dence, 176 West Eightieth street. Mann's Indictment Paper ‘The indictment papers in the cane of Sol, H. Mann were this morning filed away in the District-Attorney's office, Deputy Assistant District-Attorney F. J. Hennessey having been officially in- formed of Mann's death, The papers bore this indorsement: Defendant killol by David Hannigan, Toura- day, May 23, 1895. FORRES J.

A stifled ejaculation of surprise went round the court when the foreman an- nounced that the jury had found the prisoner guilty. Immediately after the verdict was rendered Mr. C, F. Gill, of counsel for the prosecution, sald: “Lam somewhat surprised at the ver- dict myself, Not that I doubted Wilde's guilt, but I thought that surely one member of the jury would stand out.” When Mr. Gill was asked if there was any chance of a new trial, he reylied: ‘o, Indeed, It ts now dispored of forever, thank heaven.” Mr. Travers Humphreys, of counsel for Wilde, also said that the verdict was a surprise to him. “The sentence,’ said he, “is for two years on all the counts of the Indict- ment, and not on each count separately, Now that they have hit their man I am certain his health will break down, And possibly the autnoritien wil favora: bly entertain the idea of a pardon. Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel for Wilde, applied to Justice Walls to postpone passing sentence upon | his client until the next session of the Cen- tral Criminal Court (Old) Batley), but the Judge refused to do 80.

Jerome's play, “The Pride's Progress,” produced at the Comedy Theatre with indifferent success. Mr. Charles Frohman is arranging for the production of American plays in London. It ts belleved that the tide has turned here and that the Amer.can play- wright is going to find a good fleid for his work in England The manuscripts of ‘Alabama’ and “Bhenandoah” have Just been cabled for, and it is belleved that they will be pro- duced here early next Autumn. ‘Arrangements have already been made for the production at the Gaiety Thea tre of William Gillette's “Secret Servic: and ft is settled that John Drew and Maud Adams will appear next April in this city in Carleton’s “Lover's Knot.” Among the new plays which have been purchased for production in the United States next season is one by Anthon Hope and cthers by Malcolm Watson, George R. Sims, Haddon Chambers and Sydney Grundy, and Henry A. Jones's “The Triumph of the !hilistines,” Signora Elenora Duse's iliness in Paris has taken suth a serious turn that her proposed tour has been aban- doned. On Thursday last the Galety company gave a benefit to thelramusing colleague, Edward Payne. Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Sir Edward Lawaon and Mr. Henry Mc- Calmont were on the Committee, and @ very capital entertainment was the result. In addition to the entire Galety company, the following assisted: Mile. Yvette Guilbert, Jessie Millward, Marie ‘Tempest, Letty Lind, Sylvia Grey, M. Brozel, Hayden Coffin, William Terriss, Lonnen, Dan Leno and Arthur Roberts. The “boom" in the South American market is attracting numerous profes- sional men to dabble in the Stock Ex- change. Among others, Bir Arthur Sul- ljvan is eaid to have been very lucky if his speculations. Lottie Venne Is just recovering from a rather serious attack of typhoid fever, and hopes to resume work soon. Arthur Bourchler has decided to go into management on his own‘account at a West End theatre, which has not yet been decided upon. Not content with that, he will further produce a play from his own pen, a three-act farce adapted from the French—M. Brisson's jonsieur le Directeur.” Mr. Bourchier will, of course, piay in this work. After- wards he will produce a revised version of Sardou's comedy, “Americans Abroad." Besides Pinero's new play already promised to Comyns Carr, of the Comedy ‘Theatre (which will provide prominent parts for Rose Leclercq and Cyril Maude), Mr. Carr has also commissioned Sydney Grundy to write a play to follow later. Sir Augustus Harris, by engaging a new prima donna in the place of Mme. Calve, has done a double stroke of busi- ness, for Mme. Calve has now signed a contract to appear at Covent Garden towards the end of the season. The Queen has, as usual, taken a box at the opera for the season, Beerbohm Tree will produce “ at the Haymarket to-day. | A special interest will attach to the Fedora of Mrs. Campbell, and many comparisons will undoubtediy be drawn between her rendering of the part and that of Mrs. Bernard Beere, who originally played the role in the first English version of the play. Cissie Loftus has been engaged at the Empire at a salary of 10) guineas weekly. TROLLEY AT IT AGAIN.

He lins just given an addi tional manifestation that it fits iu by capturing for his boss the Stat League of Republican clubs, which may or may not become an important factor | in both National and State politics, The advantages of controlling the League depends upon the manner in which it is handled. The capture of the organization occurred last night when its Advisory Committee met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and voted to make Mr: 1 one of its honored members. The popular belief in political circles is that Mr. “Ed,” having gotten inside the League, will run the whole bust ness, Some of the anti-Platt men, who thought they had closed up all the ave nues by which Mr. "Ed" and his boas could get into the League camp, are mighty angry to-day, because they claim that the meeting of the Committee yes- terday was called without the knowledg of some of its members, who would have voted against letting Mr, “Ka™ in. The anti-Platt men say that President Green, of the State League, alao Mayor of Binghamton, and a Platt man, tipped off the Platt members of the Advisory Committee, and they were consequently In the majority. The members of the Advisory Com- mittee are Mr. Otto Irving Wise (Paty, Henry Gleason (Piatt), Mayor Green (Platt), Jas. A. Blanchard (anti- Platt), Henry L.

There Will Be Many for Yor the Greatest of Them Al Fully Tou About in This Cotamn, Just 1708 years ago a youth of seven- teen was tortured In Rome. He was @ Christian, and the Emp: ror Commodus— an Emperor pas du tout commodo, as the French would say—ordered him to ve tortured to death. He was torn With ron hooks, scourged, and finally ghted vorehes were thrust into his flesh, This treatment killed him. The remark- able part of it Is that the body of that young man, as much of it as remains, s how In New York City. His name is Veregrinus, and he is a saint. He haa been brought here to work miracles, and already he has cured a man of rheu- matism, What would surprise him more than that, however, if he were alive, is the fact that he Is in America. When he died his plucky death and became a saint, nobody, except one or two of the pagans who killed him, suspected that the earth was round. The body, which really means the bones of this saint, may be geen by all those who are inter- ested. Where and when it may be seen you will learn In The Sunday World to- morrow. The greatest interest attaches to the sacred remains, even for those who do not believe in thelr ability to disease. The rellc is fascinating merely as a curiosity. It is gorgeously dressed and covered with jewels. A Jewelled palm and a tiny flask are the particular signs of martyrdom which distinguish It. The flask contained some of the martyr's blood. It Is now dried up. ‘The face of the saint Is visible. All the flesh Is gone, but the reporter who saw it reports that the smile of the sacred skull is not repulgive, but rather Pleasant. ‘The Sunday World to-morrow will print a picture eight columns wide of this saint, which will please every: one. It wears boots that look tike In- dian moccasins. It wears what are called cure by tailors “knee pants." This relic is the most wonderful and satisfactory ever brought to Amer!

The Governor of Illinois Had Pre- viously Freed Two Other Brutes. JAIL DOORS BATTERED DOWN. A Telephone Pole Shattered the Barriers of the Prison Where the Fiends We DANVILLE, Ii,, May %.—John Halls, . and William Royce, the two young ) of unsavory reputation who as- Ited Miss Laura Bennett and Miss Lillian Draper, were hanged to the Gil- bert street bridge, the scene of their crime, at 3.20 o'clock this morning, Just the first streaks of daglight were seen in the east. ‘On the way to the bridge from the jail & procession was formed, taking the men through Main street. Halls and Royce both walked’ with a firm step with a rope around thelr necks. Royce wanted to see hin father, and a deiay followed. His father did not come. Halls sald he was not ashamed of what he had done. They would not jump, and they were Noth thrown over the bridge railing at . ‘They dropped thirty feet and death followed, both expiring tn fearful convulsions. Thetr faces were not covered. They hung side by side on the last rail From midnight, when the crowd first made Its appearance at the Jail doors, unul the victims were reached It was the determined, desperate struggle of a frenzied mob to mete summary justice, battling against heavy oaken doors and iron bars, and occasionally halted by the grim stand of the defenders of law and order under the command of Sheriff Thompson, A telephone pole was used ter-ng ram Ed McCusker stood on the Jail steps and addressed the mob, begging them to desist.

At 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent fo Judge Bookwalter, of the Circuit Court, who addressed the crowd from the jail corridor. He counselled them to peace and order, and for a minute, and but a minute only, his words were heed- “1. Then another desperate attempt was made to reach the cells where the two secreted.

His cell door was quickly le tterel] down, A score of hands dragged him unceremontously from his hiding place underneath the wooden bench, which serves prisoners as a bed, Half ‘dragged and halt pushed, he was hustled Into the dininj room and seated on the table, ‘A rope was placed over his head, and while part of the mob kept ciose guard over him the others continued the search for Halls, until he was discov- ered in another and more remote por- tion of the jail. ‘The most sensational incident of the lynching occurred during Judge Book- walter’s address to the mob, At first his words produced a telling effect.
