II O'Sullivan was at home at $50 and
also at 10 o'clock ho could not very
we'll have been at the Carlson cottage
when the murder was committed. Their
testimony differed regarding the game
they played, some declaring it was
euchre and others hearts.
| 1t seems to be the fortune of the de-
| fense, however, that whatever witness
es they call to establish one point break
down some other that previous witness
es have testified 10. On Monday James
and jeremiah Hyland both testified
| that they were at OSullivan's Sunday,
! May 5, and never again until last
Sunday. But Boyington, Knight and
Mennehan all said Tuesday that on
| Sunday about two weeks after May
| James Hyland and, they thought, his
| cousin Jeremiah were at O'Sullivan's
again and staid some time, but they did
| not remember at what hour they left or
J who, if any, went with them.
| These same witnesses contradicted the
! Hylands in another particular. The
/ latter, when on the stand, testified that
/ they got to O'Sullivan's May 5 about
/ o'clock in the afternoon, and not find
/ ing OSullivan at home, went TO ball
game in progress few blocks
away, returning at a little after
/ 6. O'Sullivan had not returned at
| this time, and they waited till he
came in, a half an hour later, remain
| ing till 10 o'clock. James knight, who
knew James Hyland in Wisconsin. tes-
titled Tuesday that heowae at O'Suli-
vans when the two Hylands came,
about o'clock; that OSullivan was
there then and shook hands with them,
and that they remained until 10 o'clock,
when they left in company with O'Sul-
livan.
Patrick Brennan, a young man who
said he was about % years old and
worked for O'Sullivan in April and May,
testified that o'Sullivan and Mulcahy
went to bed about $50 o'clock. He
himself went TO bed little later. He
heard Mennehan. Knights and Boyington,
three Of the other boarders, knock for
admittance later in the night, but did
not get UP to let them in, as he supposed
Tom Whalen would do that. Like the
other witnesses his memory was blank
as to all other dates except May 4.
Both Minnehan and Brennan testified
TO a visit to Tom Whalen's residence on
Sunday last, where they met the
lawyers for the defense, the Hylands
and other witnesses, and at which meet
ing they, with the others, were ques-
toned as 20 what they would testify TO-
No attempt was made TO prevent them
from hearing the stories OF the others.
