THE KING SHOOTING.
LIFE FOR LIFE.
Trial Of John DOnOhue for the Muir
der of Mrs. HALEY.

The trial of John Donohue, for the muir
der of Catharine Bailey, at her house on the
Seventh street road, in February last, was
resumed to-day. Messrs. c. S. Moore and Il.
+. Miller for defense.
Eliza Murphy was recalled by defense.
She testified that when she went into her
mothers room with a light she was lying
down.
DIR. J. f. Hartigan was recalled and shown
a half brick and a chair rung and was qucs-
toned which was most likely to have pro-
duced the fracture of the skull of which
Mrs. Bailey died. He thought the chair
rung would have been most likely to have
produced it.
The District Attorney then asked whether
it was such fracture as was made in young
Hirth's skull, who was killed with stone,
but the defense vehemently objected ana
