The Inquest IN THE GALcERAs AND O'REILLY
1 CAsE.-This investigation was resumed and con.
cluded yesterday before DR.. Beach. The following
| witnesses were examined:
| Dr. Stone-A young woman visited me some two
weeks before the death of Miss E. NJ O'ReilIy; she
said she was teacher, and from what she told me
am satisfied it was Miss 0,Reilly. She wanted to
consult me with regard to her condition, and make

some one in view to take care of her school during
her confinement, and she wanted to know about
the exact time she would be confined, as she wished
to stay out as long as possible. told her thought
two weeks was as far as it would be prudent for
her to remain before she came to the hospital. /
examined her. and found her, as thought, about
commencing the last month of pregnancy. She
was remarkably healthy young woman, of fine
eountenance, and her appearance enlisted my SYM

any disease whatever; had very healthy express
sion; determination of blood to the head what
| ever; no symptoms of apoplexy. Women are not
subject to apoplexy in pregnancy; it is thing

pregnancy, it is always safe and good practice to

| or her eyes injected She came alone; at least
| saw no one with her. If person had visited me,
| and had prescribed for that person, when there
was apparently not much the matter, and the per.
son should die suddenly, would never give q GER
erns all regular physicians, that observe about
giving certificates. The young woman visited me
only once. She had all the moral delicacy and APP
parent disposition of q delicate and moral lady
She had no apparent wish to commit another crime,
as she asked me for no medicine as is quite COM
mon in those cases to get clear of it. She appear
ed to desire TO be delivered in correct and egiti-
| mate way; showed no remorse. She told me she
would return to the hospital in about two weeks;
and spoke to the young man to tell DIR. Richardson

room at her own command. In about two weeks
from the time she visited me, or it might have been
less than two weeks, man whom did not know

death of young lady. / asked him if she was
pregnant; he assented. told him she had no bus

did not know the fact / refused the certificate,
and he Immediately left. then remarked to Pro-
fessor Richardson that there was something wrong
and suspicious in the case, and made the remark
that if | knew where the man lived would inform
the proper authorities. felt little provoked that
the man should have the impudence to ask me for
certificate. don't think it probable that any
dangerous symptoms would have manifested them
selves in week after the young woman left me, at
least from natural causes. She had the hue of per-

about it; this was the day before his arrest he
was not in; waited some time, returned home
and then went up again, but did not see him.
though waited till about 10 o'clock. had some
conversation with Galcerans brother, but he said
he knew nothing about it; that he only minded his
own business; that it was something strange, but
he couldn't know anything about it. He told me
to call next morning, and he would keep his
brother there till came. ! went next morning at
about u o'clock, and found Joseph Galceran wait
ing for me in the bar-room. l asked him if he had
seen what was in the papers. He said he had not,
or some one in the house told him. | told him
was going up to see the body exhumed. He said
he would not take $500, or any amount of money
to 60 up there. :" Well,f said LII don't care

said l. ' am anxious now she should be exhumed

He hesitated few minutes, and then said, have
confidence that she didn't poison herself, that
didn't poison her, and that her mother didn't poison
her." He again paused and then said, Well, I'll
tell you what's the matter; she IS said to be in the
family way by ne.' looked at him and excaim-
ed, "My God, you have dishonored q family that
was never dishonored before; go to her mother
and make what reparation you can, for will not
tell her under any circumstances We then
walked down to my house, at the corner of Poy-
dras and Bolivar streets. When came here, !
said wished to have the fact Of Eleanora's preg
nancy concealed, but there was no doubt the body
would be eXhumed. Then we went to the Goro-
ners Office in the Second District but saw only the
Deputy ;swe went then to the Coroner's office on
Baronne street, and from that to the Coroners
residence; and not finding him, We went to DR..
Hart. wanted DIR. Hart to see the Coroner, to
have the fact of Miss 0'Reillys pregnancy kept
out of the papers. He directed us to the office of
the Ohief of Police, and we went there. asked
the Chief to the effect that he would keep the fact
of pregnancy from the public; and he told me to
the Coroner about it. said to him that had
known Miss 0'Reilly disgrace Iweuld have thrown
her into the river or blown her brains out didn't
hear Galceran say anything aboutsh0oting her. He
could not easily have said without my hearing it.
Galceran also asked the Chief of Police to keep
the fact of pregnancy secret from the public, |
and think he intimated to the Chief that he knew
what Miss OReilly's condition was before her
death. | was however, excited at the tme and |
the Chief may have asked Gaeeran questions |
without my knowing it. When we were coming |
down from Galeerans house, he didn't make any
admission to me similar to the one he made to me
afterward in the Parish Prison, in regard to owing
Miss ORelly more money than the promissory |
note called for. Inever knew that Miss 0sReilly |
had been to see DIR. Vionnet. She told me the |
Tuesday before she died that she had been to see |
DR.. Stone the Saturday previous; also mentioned |
that she had been to see DR.. Woods, but never +
mentioned DR.. Vionnet. haver read DIR. Yionnet's |
testimony. 1t does not agree with the account |
given to me by Galceran, in regard to the manner |
in which he obtained the certificate. believe he |
told me the reason Dr. Stone would not give GER
tfieate was because he had not seen Miss OfReily t
for a week; that was the only reason he gave me.
