announcement in the morning that Col. Fellows
would make the great speech OF the day drew
hundreds OF would-be spectators TO the court
room, only to find they could not get near the
guarded doors.
McOuade appeared resolute amos. cheerful,
but his brother Barney was pinched and pale.
He looked more like man accused of the great
crime and en- route to Sing Sing than any other
tell how the jury stood until Col. Eel
lows began to sway them with facts garlanded
with eloquence. Then 1t was plain that he held
their most profound attention. The points
made by Col Follows were afterward covered
in the Judges charge-namely, that the Lyddy
Injunction should be taken official notice OF !;
that the Office of the Broadway Railroad syndi.
cate was in the office of the company's counsel
Robinson, Scribner, and Bright; that these
lawyers knew from Clerk Ma oney that the
aldermen Were TO 10 nGla speo hinro mee., zee
order for the discontinuance Of the iniunc-
tion had been obtained, and before Maloney
had sent out the calls to the Aldermen to meet
Mt nine o'clock on the following morning that
there was an agreement, because the Doodle
lawyers and the Broadway Railroad people
knew 1t; that FIVE OF the Aldermen, including
McQuade, met Mt McLaughlin's house, because
the unimpeached servant girl, Kate Metz,
business, and used checks, except
about just after the Doodle transaction,
when he was seen with $500 and $1,000 bills in
his posse ssion; that, while tho witnesses dis
agreed as to details and dates, they all sub
stantially agreed to the chief facts in the case
as stated by Fullgraff and Duffy, and cor
roborated by other witnesses and documentary
evidence. Col. Fellows scored point when lie
told the jury that the public and press were
watching them, and they could never hold NJ
their heads again IL they allowed bribery to GO
unpunished.
Recorder Smyth reviewed the case at great
length He pronounced the testimony OF the
servant girl Katie Metz to be direct, unshak on
and worthy OF much weight. 1t was in the nature
OF things he said, that crime should be perpe-
trated in secret and therefore, the testimony OF
accomplices was oft sn necessary. Because q
man had once committed perjury, it must not
be assumed that he would always perjure

THE AMERICAN GIRL WHO BECAME THE WIFE
OF A CHINESE DIPLOMAT
1t was mentioned in Mondays STAR tha.
Mrs. Yung Wing, formerly Miss Kellogg, died
Saturday at her home in Hartford, Conn. Mr.
Yung Wing, when Chinese minister to this
country several years ago, became acquainted
with her through her brother. DR.. E. w. Kel
logg, and cOurtship of several months resulted
in a wedding, which was social sensation at
the time. 1he husband had first to obtain the
consent of his government to marry and reside
permanently In this country, which, AS the re-
suit of long intercourse with Americans during
his Yale course, he preferred to his own. The
presents of Chinese goods and curios he brought
10 his bride are still remembered for their
variety and elegance. Mr.. and Mrs. Yung Wing
divided their time between Washington and
Hartford, Mr.. Yung Wing having important
diplomatic duties in this city. Several years
ago he built a fine house in Hartford, which has
been the family residence. Mrs. Yung Wing
was a lady OF charming manners, and was
greatly admired in the society i'll which she
moved. She leaves two boys, bright little fel-
lows. She was 35 years old.
