At the opening Of Court, at 8 O'Clock,
yesterday sftefloon, the trial Of Orlando
Roee, for the murder Of Peter Galloway,
wss resumed, the witness on .he stand
was Michael Maloney, who having fn-
ished his evidence for the State at the
morning session, WAS subjected to rigid
crcss-examinatiOn by the defense.
However, no new points were devel-
opsd.
Andrew Murine was the next wit
nese. Hs was In company with Mich
ael Maloney on the evening of July 4th,
the night Galloway was stabbed and
told tho story of the crime In about the
same manner that Maloney and Edward
Mulrine did. He was cross examined,
without any charge OF testimony.
John Maloney, the next witness, also
saw tho stabbing Of Gallaway, by Rose,
and described the affair % did the other
thres Witnesses He did not see the first
the face with his fist.
This witness found the knife at
Seventh and Church streets, which Ed
ward Murine says he saw fall from the
hand Of Rose while the latter was strug-
Cling with Leech andthe other men whe
arrested him there.
On cross examination the witness said
he was arrested on suspicion Of slabbing
Gslloway,by reason Of having this knife,
but was soon released. He said that
Leech, ,one Of the men who stopped Rose
al Seventh and Church streets, AFTER
wards stopped him (ths wi ness) jumped
on him from behind aud assau tied him.
He said Leech was under the influence
OF liquor al the time.
John Hanley, living on Church street,
near Curlett, was sitting on his steps on
the night OF July I'd, and saw three en-
30 by. He was about to tell what he
heard said by them, when Mr.. Bird asked
aim II he could identify Rose rs one of
these men. He said be could not, aud
Mr.. Bird objected to this testimony.
Mr.. Gray said that while this man did
not recognize any Of tile three men, be
proposed to prove, by him what they
said, aud show BY other testimony that
they we're Rose aud his two compan-
ions.
Mr.. Birds objection was not sustained,
aad Mr.. Hanley, proceeding, said the
three men who passed his house went
up to Cur lett street, and stood on the
corner. Two were dressed in black
clothes and the other wore long dus
| ter. He said be heard one of the men
say, "Let'a 60 back" One Of the others
replied. "We'd better 60 home" The
first one then said, "Let's 60 back and
can take two OF them" Then one of
the men In black clothes aud the man
with the duster went down the street.
Five or six minutes later be saw the
man In dark clothes running up Church
street on the other side of the street ,pur-
sued by . crowd. He was certain this
was one OF the three men who had passed
by his house few minutes before.
On cross-examination Mr.. Hanley
said he did not identity Rose rs one OF
the men, nor did be know Rose st all.
Michael Maloney, Sr., testified that his
son john handed him knife, at Seventh
and Church streats, on the night Of July
4th, and : few minutes alter he gave the
knife TO Sergeant Jones, OF the Police
force. kl lIE
Sergeant Jones testified to receiving
the knife from Mr.. Maloney and giving
10 to Chef Of Police Maxwell.
Chief Maxwell producei the knife,
which the Attorney-Ge offered In
evidence.
Mr.. Bird objected, as the testimony
thus far did not show that any knife
was held BY Rose at the time Of the
assaultiupon Galloway. The only con-
section between Rose and the knife was
by stretch Of memory upon the psrt Of
Edward Murine, who thinks no saw q
knife drop from the hand OF Rose when
the latter was being held down by Leech
and another man at Seventh and Church
stI eets.
Attorney General Gray said the
testimony left no doubt that the fatal
wound was Inflicted upon Galloway by
knife, and that the further testimony
Of the STATE connecting Rose with the
knife was as yet unimpeached.
The decision of the court was that
the knife could be admitted as evil
dence.
DR.. Thomas A. Brown was next
sworn and said he was called to see
Galloway the night he was cut, and
found him at tho house Of his brother
iu-law, Thomas Hannigan, on Fifth
street, below Walnut, lying on the
door. He found wound an inch long
in the right side Of the abdomen, OF"
tending into The abdominal cavity
The loop Of small intestine protruded
from the wound, but It was not cut
ana he replaced It.. There vas y large
confusion on the stomach, which ex-
tended generally over the gastric re-
gion, which might have. been OCCASION
ed by q blow or q fall, and q slight
scratch across the back which did not
look as though it had been occasionei
by knife. Peritonitis. set in on the
fourth day. The deceased complained
more of the bruise on his stomach than
the wound, and vomitsd considers.
bly,.
In answer to Mr.. Gray's question
whether or not tho wound caused the
mans death, the Doctor said the
wound was the cause ofperitonitis, the
peritonitis produced q construction of
small intestines, which was the direct
cause of death.
On REORGANIZATION the Doctor
50 d he had hope for the patient until
peritonitis set in on the fourth day
The construction of the bowels, he said,
