CRIMINAL MATTERS
The Hearing in the Callihan
Case Begun.
THREE WITNESSES EXAMINED.
But Nothing New Is Elicited-The Hearing
Continued Until Tuesday-Bound Over
for Burglary-Police News.

The appearance of the Railways in the
Wasatch building yesterday afternoon
would almost have justified the belief that
another political convention was in pro-
gress. SO great was the crowd.
1t was not politics that had attracted the
throng this time, however, but murder,
and every body was anxious to get look at
the alleged siayerS of Edward CallIhan,
Commissioner Greenman wanted to get the
federal court room in which to hold the in
vestgatiop, but this was impossible as
Judge Zane was holding court there. The
examination therefore took place in the
commissioners office, to the disappointment
OF the rabble, and no spectators were
admitted. There was some delay in get
ting started, and it was o'clock before the
prisoners came in. Coyote Dick' Ed
wares wore his usual nonchalant air, and
Josie Hill looked more cheerful than be-
fore. Lottie Miner was attired in somber
black, and her face bore evidences Of the
ordeals through which she had recently
passed. The prosecution was represented
| by County Attorney Murphy and his as
sistant, Mr.. Eichnor, while Messrs. Glenn,
| Gunter, Armstrong and Hamilton appeared
for the defendants.
After the witnesses had been put under
the rule, Commissioner Greenman said
1--WE will now proceed, gentlemen; who
will you have frstsn
| "CALL DR.. s. EWING
said Mr.. Murphy, and the physician took
the stand and testified: l am practicine
physician and reside in this city. in june
last, l made an examination of the body Of
Edward Callihan at Sleeves undertaking
rooms There were some abrasions on the
forehead, and scalp wound on the head
Then there was a cut over the left eye, snc
q gunshot wound on the inside of the lief
thigh. | didn't trace the wound, but Oh
the back close to the left rib and near the
kidney, was the point OF exit. l think thu
wounds were practically and simultan-
eous. The wounds about the head were
inflicted with some blunt weapon, evidentl!
not very sharp. The wounds about tn
head, l would say, were insufficient to pro
duce death, although they might have pro
duced uncon seriousness. Undoubtedly the
man receiving them would have been dazed
think the guushot wound produced death
The bullet could hardly have failed to
cut an artery. did not notice any wount
which might have been caused by the graz
ing of a bullet.
The Commissioner-Wh position mus
the man have been in, to have received sucl
, gunshot wound?
The witness-He could have received
had he been in sitting position.
