twenty minutes; I asked Mr. Flagg for
work, and told him that he must get me
job; I left there little after 7 went back
to Mr.. Murphy's; saw no one but him re-
manned there half an hour; then went to
George DeYarmond's and asked how much
he charged for his wood George lived in the
lower part of Murphy's house; remained
there ten minutes; then went back to Muir
phys; I next went up Hamilton street to
Tommy Doyle's saloon on the corner of
Grand street, went after blackboard that
belonged to me; was in Doyles only few
minutes then went up to Nortons saloon,
and remained there quarter of an hour it
was 7:45 O'Clock when I got there saw
John Saunders and Mike Norton; had the
blackboard with me; from Nortons I went
directly home; John Saunders went with
me: am not sure but that Dan Sullivan went
home with me too-at any rate he was at the
house when I got there; went into the
house and to the kitchen; took off ny shoes
and rubbers and went up stairs to bed
through the sitting room my sister was
sitting on the sofa reading she is teacher
in one of the pvblic schools; L went directly
to bed and did not get up again until I heard
the officers, four or five of them, knocking
on the door with their clubs I heard mother
scream and asked her what was the matter :;
as jumped up they rushed into my room I
was not above the bridge in Hamilton street
since last November; was not near Law
renee and Nash streets since last November.
Cross-examined, Clune said-I have not
worked since last November; used to write
policy slips for Mr.. Rogers last spring; I
left Cowles in May and went to work for
Rogers; when my mother found it out she
made me give it up; did not work at policy
writing over month; since then 1 have
worked six weeks at Martins; since that
TINA hnxyo ~ 1oI1 l.
at all the saloons I visited but, did not drink
anything but beer have not drank any Ii
quor in long while; I went to bed that
night at 500 and for the last four
months [ have been to bed even
earlier than that, with but one
exception I have seen Johnny Rourke, but
don't know him personally; told Bill
O'Keefe (roandsman) when he came into
the room that was in bed before half past
s !; I told him I had been out and around and
he said he wanted me for a little assault; I
asked him if he had warrant, when he said,
mo, we don't need warrant then the
four grabbed hold of me and took me out al
most before I had chance to dress I did
not tell them that it was none of their bust
ness when they asked what time went to
bed.
Michael Norton next testified that the ac-
cused was in his saloon, and that he told
John Saunders to take him home because he
was SO drunk he did not think he could get
home alone.
John Saunders testified to taking Clune
home and leaving him at the gate. Clune
told him that when he got to the gangway he
would go in the house. Clune was very drunk,
and the witness thought he would fall down
and SO saw him up to the gate.
Other witnesses testified similarly.
Mrs. Clune and Miss Clune, respectively the
mother and sister of the prisoner corrobo-
rated him as to his testimony in general
came in his mother was in the kitchen. This
she denies, claiming that she was elsewhere
at the time t
The sister testified that she was in the
kitchen backing the stove instead of being
in the sitting room reading, as Clune alleged
in his testimony. Both, however, confirmed
the prisoner as to his assertion that he reach
ed home soon after O'Clock and Immediately
went to bed. The outrage committed
about o'clock.
Judge Robinson made an argument in sup
port of motion for the discharge of the ac-
cused, claiming that an alibi had been salts
factorily proven. Prosecuting Attorney
Pickett criticised the evidence for the de-
tense as weighed against the evidence adduc-
ed by the prosecution and asked for the
binding over of the accused.
A lengthy argument then ensued as to the
amount of bonds. Mr.. Pickett thought they
should be increased to $4,000 while Judge
Robinson asked for their reduction from ST.
900 to $500. Judge Studley said he would
bind the accused over for trial in 81 900 bail,
and leave the motion for reduction of bail
to be further argued next Tuesday, provided
the counsel SO desired.
Clune was remanded to jail, the boHd for
his appearance not being furnished.
