in Iazleton met the prisoner at Barney
Dolan's, in Big Mine Run, at a county
meeting. | never sent boy for Mrs. Nc
Donnell, but one day told her in the pres
ence OF Charles Walton that if was put ON
the stand would give "IIairy" good char
acter, that l never worked with nicer man;
was put up TO say So, by Capt. Peeler,
Corroborated by Captain Peeler as to the
| above assertion
James Kerrigan sworn Am acquainted
with the hairy man !" he came to Tusca-
rora IN 1866, he then had long hair, but
| not so grey as now at that time knew
Long John" Donahue; he was in nv bouse
the night before he was shot the prisoner
at the time was working at Silver Greek or
the Harbor, and the night after the murder
Mcdonnell and Flynn were talking on the
! green about the murder; Flynn iumped
about and gave Mcdonnell lip for not being
around to avenge "Long John" Donahue's
| death Flynn further said that "Long John"
was good soldier the night George X. Smith
was shot, when Mcdonnell said, II was as
good as him myself, and if It wasn't for me
you fellows would have had "A hard time of
| 1t inside Of the house with the dog; then
Flynn again said, Long John" was good
soldier, for after I've was shot at Smiths he
walked all the way from Audcnried to Mes
quehonlug; then Mcdonnell suggested that
1t was one of their own crowd that shot
| Long JOHN when Flynn said no he was
shot inside the house; then Flynn said he
| put the ball in Smith, and aftCrward Nc
Donnell said they would 90 and ret guns
and lay in the woods and shoot every Eng
lishman in Tuscarora that would pass them.
| Cross-exanihcd: think it was in 1867
when Donahuc was shot; | think the con-
veDtlon was held at Dolan's seine time in
1875.

morning after the prisoner arrived in Phila-
| delphia from the West, in COMPANY with
one of Pinkeron's detectives, called to see.

| then asked him If he ever met with the
| "MOllies" in Frenchtown, and he eouiyo-
Gated; then asked him if he knew Joscph
kehoe, and he said he did, but he was not
! personally acquainted with him, and also
said he knew that this "Nohes" met in an
old engine house east of Frenchtown. as he
! met with them there, and he also said he
met with them in KehOes; | asked him IS
| he was Bodymastcr of Is division in Tusea-
rora, and think he said he had been. the
meetings in the old engine house were in
| 1868.
Cr0ss-examincd: @. Did not Mcdonnell
tell you in Philadelphia that the meeting in
| Frenchtown was composed of all nationali-
ties and that it had reference to wages?. A..
No. sir.
William Canyin recalled The prisoner
ut the bar is the same man that lived at
Audenfied in 1868; he had peculiar hair; it.
was white with streaks of other colors in it.
David Horn also swOre to the peculiarity

Here the Commonwealth rested their case

in the coal business at Silver Greek, Schuvl-
XIII county; | cannot swear that the prisoner
