TRIAL OF NAUGHT0N.
Self.Defense VIII Be the Plea
Made by the Accused.
a Curious Letter of the Defendant Put in Evil
dence Exclusion of a Police Court
Record" Owing to an Error.

In presenting the facts of the homicide the eff
fort OF the prosecution on the trial OF John +.
Naughton for the killing OF Marcus Nj. Herr was
greatly retarded yesterday by Attorney Deuprey
for the defense who objected to every material
question asked. From the line OF his cross -ex-
animation 1t Is evident that the prisoners plea
will be seli-defense.
DR.. Estes was again placed on the stand, and
was asked by Attorney Deuprey whether a man
with heavy article in his hands, both arms
being appraised, could receive such wound as
did Herr. Objection made by MIR. Van Duzer
and sustained.
DIR. James Simpson described the condition of
the body when examined by him, and Identified a
photograph OF The arm and head Of deceased.
The direction OF the bullet alter entering The
arm was in direct line. The examination was
made on March I'd, but 1t was impossible TO tell
from an examination of wound such as that re-
ceived by Herr whether or not the body was In
motion at the time the wound was made.

Under the FIRE of MIR. Deuprey's examination
witness said lie had no feeling in the matter
He denied that lie was the cause OF this prose-
cution OF the defendant by calculating reports
al second hand and going 10 the Chief of Police.
He acknowledged that lie knew nothing 10 the
detriment of the defendant before the homicide.
Switchman Furniss was put on the stand TO
Identify Herr as the man who appeared at the
window and shouted murder, but, although
shown photograph, was unable to do so.
I. L. Haulan, a Jeweer testified that lie was
passing the building at the time and heard the
shots, but did not arrive at Herrs side until
after he had died. Saw seal al his feet and put
il in the CUToneTS box.
MIR. Van Duzer announced that with some tes-
timOny Of Captain Lees and one or Two other
persons the prosecution would close its case.

Attorney Deuprey claimed at this point that
this trial was not prosecution but persecu-
ton by John a. Benson. He wished it made
clear TO the jury who IL was that retained special
counsel In Ibis case. He therefore moved that
this witness testimony be stricken out. Over

Frank Vernon, official stenographer of Police
Court 2, was called TO certify TO the correctness
of the transcript of testimony of l.. Chesey
LAWS taken al the preliminary examination.
The defendants attorney objected, as the
testimony purported 10 be thai OF l.. Cnesley,
and the transcript was ruled out. LAWS testified
that he heard Herr say That Naught0n had shot
him. 1agm
Dr.. Il. Beverly Cole testified as to The wounds
found on the deceased's body in an examination
made on March I'd, and corroborated the evil
dence OF DR.. Simpson.
Albert Il. Knoll. an expert accountant, testified
as to having examined the books OF the Guaranty
Endowment Association. He also identified
certain books shown as those he examined. MIR.
Deuprey objected on the ground that those books
had no connection with the case. Judge Finn
upheld Mr.. Deuprey, stating that sufticien. evil
dence had not been introduced to lay founda-
ton. Until that was done those books could not
be brought into evidence.

DEUPREY OBJECTS FURTHER.


NJ. c, Hassett, an attorney, was then placed on
the stand, but MIR. Deuprey objected to his ap-
peaTance on the ground that he is the attorney
for the endowment association and not cOmpe-
tent TO testify; but the court overruled the OBJ
lection. MIR. Hassett testified that he was init
mately acquainted with Herr, and knew the
character OF the relations between him aud the
defendant
AT This point OF the examination Mr.. Deuprey
made so many objections that no progress was
made for some time.
When HaSsett was allowed to continue he said
that Naughton left this city about June, 1889,
but did not tell him where he was going. Saw
Naughton on his return in August, 1889. Identi-
fed letter written by NaughIOn while away on
that occasion.
The witness also identified a letter written
by Naughton while in New York, dated July 80,
1889 and addressed to Herr. The writer slated
he was unable TO raise the money needed. 1t re-
ferEed to soma business matters connected with

ADDRESS OF GOV. BOIEs.
Words or warning and Advice to the
Various Labor origin. xations.

| Words or warning and Advice to the
Various Labor Organisations.
Yesterday at Davenport Gov. Boies
made an eloquent address upon the sub
ject of labor strikes. and among other
things he said:
1T will not do to concede as a perma-
nent principle in our system of govern
ment that the great arteries of commerce
through which flow the very life blood of
this nation. may be clogged at the will of
| a few men with self-constituted powers,
| because of real or fancied wrongs to
members of given organization. AL
| ready the state has taken these public
thoroughfares out OF the domain of their
| private property, and has elevated them
| to the higher plane of quasi public i'm
provements. 1t has assumed to and does
| in this and other states, regulate the rate
of charges for the transportation of pas
sengers and freight thereon; determines
| in many instances what conveniepces
| they shall furnish and what service they
shall render the public; defines the pre-
| cautions they shall take to prevent injury
to their employees, and in other ways ex-
ercises rights that can only be up
held upon the theory that these
are public thorougafares over which
the state may rightfully exercise
the control necessary for the protection
of the public. To say to those who would
in anyway interfere with the free use of
these ways by the public that they must
keep their hands off, and to enforce that
claim by penalties sufficient for the &C.
cOmplishment of such purpose. is but
national extension of the same principle
to all classes, and the exercise of a duty
on the part of the state that, IN the re
lation it has assumed to these roads. it
cannot rightfully ignore. But 1t is un
questionably true that as yet the laws Of
our state furnish no adequate remedy for
many of the wrongs which find such re-
dress as the strike alone can give. With
il banished, as it must be, or. speaking
more accurately, with the strikers dis
armed so that they cannot resort to CO.
ercinn to proven, the operation of rail-
ways by any means, and all men who are
willing To take their places on these
roads. What must the coming remedy
be? Here is the question to which con>
sentative men in labor ranks must ad
dress themselves
The governor held that all notions that
the cause of any class is outside the limits
OF legal redress under existing or future
laws, should be put aside He further
maintained that the state may rightfully
interfere and say to the managers of
roads: You shall not discharge without
compensation for injury done man who
hes become disabled or crippled in the
faithful performance of his duties as an
employe of that road" On the other hand
the railroad managers must not be CEN
sured because they refuse to arbitrate
controversies with their employees. The
vast property rights confided to their
care can not rightfully be submitted to
nails.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR,

Capt. John O'COnnor. of the Steamer
}. w. Vansant, shoots One of HIS
Crew.
On the last trip up of the steamer, j.
W. Van SAINT, of which Capt. John
O'Connor. of this city, is master.
some trouble arose between Capt. O'Con-
nor and man named Francis Mcmahon,
who had been on the boat but few days,
and after the captain and Mcmahon had
several angry words blows were
exchanged. and then Capt. o. Conner
drew his revolver and fired at Mcmahon
but missed him. This happened above
LeClaire, and when Albany was reached
Mcmahon sprang ashore and the captain
again fred at him as he fled up the bank,
this time the shot taking effect. though
McMahon managed to escape. The boat
went on up the river and nothing more
was heard of the incident until today
when the report reached Rock Island that
Mcmahon had died, and Capt. O'Connor
had left his boat at Dubuque.
Both these latter assertions lack con-
firmstion. though it is known that O'Con-
nor shot Mcmahon at Albany. The crew
on the Van SAINT stand by their captain to
man. There is another report that on
reaching Albany Mcmahon filed serious
charges against the entire crew on the
Van SAINT. 1t is to be hoped that Capt.
O'Connor will. be able to explain the en-
tire matter satisfactorily, as he has many
friends in Rock Island who will await
the real facts with anxiety.
