He declares that he euw Tobin strike Craft over the head with the cleaver and then drag the unconscious man lown to the subcellar, at the foot of the stairs to which he saw Tobin chop- ping Craft's head off. It was belleved that Tobin and his two brothers would accuse Mclnerney of the murder. The police give the Kellys a bad repu- tation, mentioning various terms in \ State prison and incidents which brought / them in contact with the police. NM Women Witnesnen, The three women witnesses were brought from the Tenderloin station with Jack Kelly, and they were placed in one corner of the court-room, where they held papers before thelr faces to ward off the sketchers and photog- raphers. They brazenly spoke of the lives thoy led and giggled over the | coarse remarks made by Kelly before the Inquest waa started. Tobin was brought in from the Tombs by Policeman Zlogler and was seated next to his brother, Robert ‘Kelly, ‘The latter Is a frill, dark-eyed little fellow with lone bony ‘fingers and eyes which do not run on a line with each other, Tobin, the accused man, Was dressed for the occasion, He Was attired ina new Prince Albert.

In reply to Mr. Garvan Capt, Sheehan said blood had been found on a shirt which belonged to McInerney. He sald it was only @ email quantity and may have been caused by McInerney's pur- sult of Tobin down the stairs. ‘On Tobin we found,” continued the Captain, “about $36 in money. We found no other weapon on the premises except a small penknif ‘Attorney Unger asked if he knew of any connection Robert.

The officer went into the horrors of the tragedy, the finding of the head and the cleaver, continuing “On the way’ to the Tombs T saw blood on MeInerney’s trousers, also, and In the ‘Tombs he was searched and blood spots found on his shirt and drawers.” Counsel objected to the evidence as not being competent, but it was retained in the record. Policeman Patrick Cox was next galled. He retold the story related by Ziegler and Capt. Sheehan , “When I went to the place I found Robert Kelly on the sidewaik and asked him where the man was murdered. He pretended ignorance, saying no one had been killed. “Tasked him why the smoke was com- ing from the windows, and he sald men had been cleaning the furnace and that was the soot. “T decided to investigate and by that time an ambulance with a doctor from the New York Hospital arrived and we went into the bullding, Blood in the Cellar, “In the cellar we found a big pool of blood and went around the furnace, DIES WITH CHILD'S BANK IN HIS HAND Burns Had Quarrelled with Brother, but ‘Friends Say His Asphyxiation Must Have Been Accidental.
