The first witness called was ex-Sheriff flaw. kins He was unable to bring a list of depu- ties and his examination was postponed until tomorrow. R. J. Price, 8 contractor, testi- fled that one of his men refused to vote fear ing row. The testimony of P. H. Duffy, an alderman of the Eighth ward, was then taken. He went to precinct A and swore in judges as other couneilmen refused to go there. SsI went..to my own polls in the morn ing Colored men took possession Sunday. Very few voted early in the morning that I knew. I have lived there all my life. There were eighteen or twenty strange colored men there all day. The first disturbance occurred about o'clock. A colored deputy marshal jumped out into the street and drew revol- yer. There was great excitement but no shooting. Af CT the first trouble number of boys got clubs The colored men punched together and finally opened fire on the boys. There was a great deal of shooting that day. Several persons were injured. There were more co1ored men voted than had a right to vote l saw great deal of whispering be- tween Republican supervisors and colored men," Duffy was cross-examined by Judge Foraker and said: ''It is not fact that An derson Bennett fleeing for his life when shot, He deliberately walked to the crowd and fired, when he pursued by the crowd"

 was stabbed whom do not know.''
 Phelan received six terrible cuts, two in
 the back, one in the back of the neck, one in the left arm and two in the left breast. The
 doctors at the hospital are of the opinion that his injuries will prove fatal
 ODonovan Rossa was seen shortly after Phelan had been removed to the hospital He appeared greatly astonished at what had occurred lie said hs knew nothing of the causes which led to the stabbing of Phelan and refused to make any statement Barker was arrested while trying to escape. He was taken to the Fourth precinct station af- ter being identified by Phelan At the sta ton he gave the name of Richard Hart He denied all knowledge of the stabbing, but when asked how his hands and clothing be- came bloody he became silent and refused to answer farther. He was locked up and will be taken to the Tombs in the morning. Kearney, who accompanied Phelan to Rossa's office, is one of the men mentioned by Phe- Ian in the interview published in the Journal as having been implicated in the plots to blow up the steamer Queen and the Glasgow failroad station.
 A large number of reporters visited O'Donovan Rossa's house in Brooklyn to- night, but were unable to find him and it is supposed that he is purposely keeping him self aloof from interviewers. Ross as friends c1diu tIlaL He Is III no way F0SpOnSlD16 TOT or connected with the stabbing of Phelan. An intimate friend of Rossa's said tonight that he had seen and talked with him about the affray. Rossa appeared excited, but said he knew absolutely nothing about the affair. He was not present and did not know the' origin of the trouble. Had he been in his office at the time there would have been no disturbance. S. J. Meany said the fact that the affray oc- cured in Rossa's office and that Phelan was there upon his invitation might lead some persons to believe that Rossa was connected with it, but he be- Ieved Rossa was innocent of the affair. 'I have" he added, 'fknown Rossa for long time and in my opinion he is too honorable man to stoop so low to act as decoy in prearranged plan to outrage anyone"
