SOME OF TIE WITNESSES
in n quarrel he said that he did not think they
persons engaged in an ordinary conversation.
II was some time before shutdown. 1t was ono
OF those dark. quiet spaces Just before a squall
but ne could recognize the men IN the boat.
He was asked by Mr.. Wise whether when he
rejOined his father either of them thought a BE-
nous ARRAY had occurred
II don know what my father thought" said
Evans. jr-. who proved to be a remarkably
clever witnes, and despite all Mr.. Wise's
shire widest efforts he could not be tripped in
the slightest particular. lie was cool and ready
with his answers.
what did you sav?''
.'Well. said. Tony Hams has shot Hanne-
gan, but said it interrosatively and not to
make assertion"
'.And what did your father say to that?''
''He said that Hams had shot nobody, but
that couple of young blackguards had been
showing or"
''How did he say it?''
''In q laughing manner"
Then it's a laughing matter" said Mr.. Wise,
SO call a man a black guard?'
1T may or may not be. but il didn't seem TO
me a laughing matter for one man to shoot
another. said young Evans
On redirect examination by Mr.. Iipscomb
Evans said that after the shooting Hams did
not begin to seuil at once, but drifted a little
first.
But il he had wanted to could he have
beaehed the boat at once and come ashore di-
rectly? asked Mr.. Lipscomb.
Why, certainly" said Evans.
Al this point in the examination a recess was
taken for dinner.

O'Clock with every prospect Of il being good
long one There was about the usual crowd in
the audience, many of them friends of the two

dragging.

ton that legal talent of such prominence are
engaged on both sides Of a case as are now in
terested In the present hearing here. From

Mr.. Salmon X. Hanneg~n, father of the dead
man, was next placed on the stand. His eIami-
nation was conducted by Senator Voorhees,.
Tho two sa. facing each other before the Jury
and the scene was an impressive one. Mr..
Hannegan said that his was twenty-one
years old the 10th Of last January. He was
graduate of Columbian Law school and o
o., 400 clerk in the land Office Father and son
had lived together constantly and the health Of
the latter was excellent up 10 the time of the
shooting.

sign OF his distress and gave his answers to
his dead son with firm voice. lie said that
he saw and identified the body at the under
takers here and again in Washington

said the man stopped and took the oar up out
OF the bottom of the boat. In his statement
Then Smith said he was sure Hannegan struck
the other man with the oar. Today he denied
that he had ever said this. He thought the car
had struck the man. but he was not sure.
This ended Smiths trouble and he was al
lowed to leave the stand.

John Beckham was the first witness called by
the defense, He was a young colored man
from Alexandria, sailor on the Cygnet, Mr..
John Paul Jones' yacht. He knew defendant,
but Did not know Hannegan. Never saw him
until the 9Th of last June (Alonday). when the
Cygnet was lying at the foot Of 9th street,
Washington. Hams and Hannegan came down
to the boat that evening together and the three
left the city that night for Fort Monroe, where
they arrived on Thursday evening.
THE TRIP DOWN THE RIVER.
They anchored near the engineers boat
house. On the way down the Potomac the
two young men seemed to be perfect friends,
and there was not an unpleasant word spoken
on board the boat. On Thursday night they
were not on board and on Friday witness saw
them in the afternoon still together and with a
gentleman from the fort. About 1870 they
visited the Cygnet and were aboard about a
half hour. There were no signs Of unfrendli-
ness between the two then. Mr.. Hannegnn
wac eue larger han OF tne PAIR ana the peter
man physically. He did not see either man
again that afternoon.
The boat was about $50 yards from shore
and witness rowed the thrc, men toward shore.
MIR. Hams and MIR. flanagan went on to the
canoe and Hams wanted the other man and
witness to 60 along with them in the canoe.
Witness rowed the other man ashore and did
an errand for Mr.. Hams. He took some clothes
up Tor the two young men to wear to q hop OF
the Hygeia that evening.
Crosse examined by Mr.. Lipscomb. the wit
ness said that Mr. Hams was pretty fair sea-
man.
COL. HAMS on THE STAND.
Col Hams was next called to testify. He
identified a tracing OF the military reservation
OF Fort Monroe. He pointed out upon it for
the benefit OF the jury the location Of the
various points that figure in the trial.
Col Hams then said that he had known the
deceased for about nine years. and the rela-
tons between Hannegan and his son had been
OF the most friendly nature possible. For a
month or so before the shooting they had been
most intimate. OFF and on Hannegan had been
q constant visitor at witness house and had

Chinese Certif cates.

Z EH.
Three Cinnamon called on Clerk Sproule,
of the United States court, yesterday. They
were DR.. Geo 10y, DR.. Yong Gong Sing and
All Jim. The two physicians have been
residents of Helena, and are going to New
York to practice their profession. Mr..
Sproulo gave them certificates to the effect
that they have been living hore. Each had
a photograph of himself, to which a certif-
cate and seal of the court was attached for
identification. Their object in getting the
credentials is to save them from being
taken for Cinnamon unlawfully in the
country, and to prevent arrest and annoy
anoe while travelling. Alb Jim is q merchant
in Chinatown, who is going on a
visit to his native land. Under
the new Chinese exclusion act,
he will be permitted to land on American
shores on / il return because he is a mer-
chant. A certificate was attached to his
photograph, and another paper given him
stating to all whom it concerned that he is
a Chinese merchant doing business in Hell
6n0.

OPINIONS ON THE RESULT.
Democratic and Republicans Talk About
Tuesdays Elections.

Democratic aud Republicans Talk AbOu
Tuesdays Elections.
According TO the way a number Of Helena
republicans talked ysatorday there was m
election In but ono state on Tuesday, aid
that was Ohio. Democrats, however,
counted New York. Iowa, Massachusetts,
and some others 40 being Tin It," There
WAS comparatively little betting on the re-
suits in Helena, however,. and for thai rea-
sou the interest was not 10 intense. DUR
ing this morning The INDEPENDENCE bulletins
attracted quite Il crowd, but along toward
evening the interest seemed TO flag. Among
aome Of the views expressed were tins fol-
towing:
Gov. TooIe-Its great. There's no ques-
ton about New York now. Th whole cleo
ton shows q grent change In the views q
the people on the tariff question which will
sweep the country at the next election.
Secretary OF state kotwitt--I gave up
Iowa long ago. didn't think New York
Ohio would do bstter. looked for Allen
to pull through in Massachusetts,.
John Bean, clerk of the district court
Well, Mckinley Is all right. Pm too busy
to watch tho returns from Massachusetts.
Clerk Kennedy. Of the supreme court
Well, IL went about AZ l expected. won
IS from . friend Of mins who bet that two
republican governors would be elected. |
told him when he made the bet that l
hoped he would win. l was not dead sure
of Mckinley, but am glad too see That he
10 elected.
w. ii. Sutherlin, worlds fair manager
I don't want the earth, but / do hin the
democrats might as we'll take in the lows
legislature. We could not expect much Of
Ohio. but it might as well have fallen in
line this year as later.
E. D. E~dgerton-The news from the east
please me very we'll; in fact, I do not sec
how the democrats could we'll ask for more.
DR.. Rockman-I guess you democrats
think you own tho world. You did do
pretty we'll, but wait until next year, when
the people see tho full benefits Of the Nc
Kinfey bill and then the laugh will bs on
our side.
John OConnor-I don't take much in
terest in politics, but I believe tho demo-
Gratis have the best Of the Argument, and
therefore | am glad the results of Tuesday't
contest were 90 favorable TO that side. The
tariff will be the issue next year.

PATRICK IS FREE AGAIN.
The End Of an Interesting Divorce
Case In tho District
Court
Mrs. Spellman's Children Sided
With Their Mother In the
Legal Fight.
Three HeIens Cinnamon Get Court Ger
tificates to Save Them From Arrest
While Travelling.

Pm glad I'm a free man once more
shouted out Patrick Spellman In Judge
Bucks court yesterday afternoon. 1t has
been hard work for the bailif to keep the
old man quiet during tho trial. The officer
did not try to suppress him on This ooca-
sion, for II was Spellman's last say in court.
The Jury rendered a verdict giving Mrs.
Spellman a divorce, and she proudly
marched out OF court with her two grown
daughters and tsn-year-old son, who have
stood by her during the trial. Mrs. Spell
mans attorney, in his plea TO thejury, gave
Patrick a terrible raking over. The old
man, for q wonder, sat all through it with
out q murmur. When his own lawyer got
up to address the jury Patrick stsalthily
made his way toward Judge Buck while the
bailiff was out nf the room. He glanced
cautiously about and drew a piece Of paper
from his pocket and handed 1t to the
judge, who waved him away. Patrick
gave tho paper to tho stenographer. 1t was
q certificate from four we'll know citizens
of Helena to the effect that Patrick Spell
man was a sober and industrious working
man. One Of the witnesses was Peter Fox,
n Irishman with q rich brogue. He was
bubbling over with gossip about the Spell
man family and the neiQhbors. 1t WAS Inn
possible to choke him off and oonfine him
to the questions, 1t appeared in tho testl-
mony that the husband was pretty handy
with his fists in his domestic quarrels.
Attorney Russell said the reason why one
