World. He admitted that the inter
view was read over to him before it
was published. He was next confronted
with an interview with him published in
the same paper thanking the paper for it's
tair and truthful statements. He said that
the interview was true, although there were
some errors.
WENT TO CAPTAIN DAwsoN's HOUSE.
Mellow admitted that he had gone to
Capt. Dawson's house on the evening Of the
shooting, but did not send word to the fam
lily that Capt. Dawsonis body was lying in
his office. He asked for the governess but
she was not there. She was with Capt.
Dawson's children at dancing school and he
went off to his lawyer, Judge McGrath.
The defense next put up DIR. Forrest TO
contradict DIR. Mitchell's autopsy of the
body. The testimony. however, was rather
unlntelligible to non-professional ears.
The witness formed his opinion from the
position Of the bullet hole in the breeches of
the deceased. DIR. Forrest also testified that
DIR. Mellow had very slight abrasion on
his head on the night of the killing. but he
didn't think it worth attending to.
w. w. Sale, u life long enemy Of the de-
ceased, was the next witness. His testi-
mony was intended TO prove that the de-
ceased was bully and domineering sort of
man.
Mai. E. Willis was called for the same
purpose, but rather disappointed the coun-
sol by denying all that Sale had said.
This ended the testimony for the defense.
No allusion was made during McDow's
examination to his relations with the gov
erness. The prosecution will introduce
testimony in reply tomorrow, when it IL
expected that the mysterious foot prints on
the grave may possibly be brought to light,
and perhaps other startling developments.
This, however, is only surmise.

followed, begging them at least to spare
Mitchell, who he believed was innocent.

SEXTON ON THE RACK.
Attorney General Webster Fails Z
Make Him Yield.

Make Him Yield.
LONDON, June 26.-Mr. Sexton, NJ. p.
and lord mayor of Dublin, appeared before
the Parnell commission to-day Mr.. Sexton
would NOT say he opposed the principles of
the Fenian societies. He claimed that boy
cotting was necessary evil
Mr.. Sexton admitted that he had been
asked to join Fenian society, but posi-
lively refused to divulge the maine Of the
person who asked bim. Attorney General
Webster, counsel for the Times, pressed him
hard and persistently to give the name, and
became veay angry and excited when he
found that he could not move the
witness. After a passionate scene between
the counsel and the witness, the former
finally abandoned the attempt to compel
MIR. Sexton to reply, and began to question
him in regard to Alexander Sullivan. Mr..
Sexton said that he regarded Mr.. Sullivan
IN the same favorable light as he did when
ne euiogized him in speech at the land
league meeting in Boston in 1884. He de-
clared that he held Mr.. Sullivan in high es-
timatlon on account of the unselfish public
services he had rendered.
Attorney General Webster is credited
with an intention to claim before the COM
mission the right to extort from the Par
nelllte witnesses any information which is
not obtained by the usual methods. The
Parnellltes are determined to resist any
such effort. and if the attorney general per-
sists, they will probably leave court with
their counsel,

1t is stated that the pope has appointed
Mgr. Persico secretary of the propaganda
OF oriental rites, and that this is the real
reason why he will not return to ireland.

A GREAT DEAL OF TESTIMONY.
A HIGH SENSE OF DUTY.
Commodore Schley Resigns as Chief
of a Bureau.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Commodore
Schley has, at his own request, been re-
leved from duty as chief of the bureau of
equipment and recruiting in the navy de-
partment and will be given command of
the new cruiser Baltimore. 1t is under
stood that the reason assigned by Commo-
dore Schley for his retirement from the
bureau, where he had yet nearly three years
to serve under his present commission, is a
sense of duty and a desire TO impress
upon the younger men in the service the
idea that staff appointments like his
own are not to be held longer than advan-
tage to be derived in an educational way
can be reaped. This action is a complete
surprise in naval circles. By ABANDONING
his office he drops from commodore to the
rank of captain, but his Sommand, the Bal
timore, the largest of the new cruisers. is
generally regarded as one of the best float
ing billets

ton of witnesses in the case Of the New
