CHICAGO, Dec. q. Crowds surged
through the corridors and attempted to
gain entrance to the court room, where
Mrs. Andrew Foy was to be cross ek-
alnined in the Coughlin trial Ex-Judge
Wing subjected the witness to severe
questioning, She was Intercepted as to
Coughlin's visit to her husband on the
night Of May 8, and admitted that she
heard nothing suspicious in the con
versation.
. Mrs. Foy was asked about Coughlin's
visit on the next night, and testified to
having heard the defendant telling her
husband about the search for Cronin's
body.
/ She repeated her story Of the visit of
May IL, when she claims that Coughlin
said her husband was in no danger, and
that even if he (Foy) was arrested she
would be well cared for by Alexander
Sullivan, etc. After more questions re-
garding subsequent visits, ex-Judge
Wing advanced step towards the wit
ness, and asked impressively:
''What promises has the prosecution
made to you for testifying?''
| Mrs. Foy had apparently antici pated
the question, and replied dramatically:
| T
prosecution has not promised me any
thing
| The attorney asked then:
You don't love your husband, do
your"
''No sir, I DON'T" she replied CURLY.
Il see the prosecution has filled your
house with policemen lately?'
mo, sir, my house is not full of po-
| licemen.''
| In reply to the next question Mrs. Foy
admitted that her hrs band left her three
weeks before policemen began guarding
her house. She said she did not like
Coughlln, and was noticeably discon-
certed when the attorney asked her if
she did not at one time send her regards
TO him while he was in Jail. Recover
ing herself she said that was Joke.
''Those were sarcastic regards" she
said. A murmur of excitement ran
through the court room when judge
Wing asked:
''Mrs. Foy, isn't it fact that you
have accused your husband time and
again Of being the man who threw the
rrh 1cf ], of %1o
years ago?'
The attorneys for the prosecution
We're instantly on their feet protesting
against the question and shouting to the
witness not to answer, but she cried out
excitedly:
Before God I never did. I never
did"
Now" went on Judge Wing, "didnt
you say that you would go down to
Judge Grinnell and place your husband
alongside Of Spies and Parsons, by what
you could tell him?''
mo SIR exclaimed Mrs. Foy, des-
pite the protests of the attorneys for the
prosecution.
Judge Wing then sprung a sensation
by advancing to the witness with let
ter in his hand, and asking, Mrs Foy.
did you write that letter.
. States Attorney Bottum sprang up in
surprise. Against his protest the wit
ness quickly took the letter and read in
to it.

antly after silence; s'tl-at looks like nv
writing" " T..
''And did you mail that letter to At
torney Forrest?'
Il guess did"
States attorney Bottum wanted to
have the letter read aloud at once, but
Judge Wing sta ted that he would intro
duce it in evidence later. & #,,"
Judge Wing then presented another
letter and asked if it was not written by
Mrs. Foy. This also the witness adj
mitted after considerable hesitation. S.
Then the defense took up another sub
ject, and the excitement occasioned by
the introduction Of the letters had
scarcely subsidized when fresh outbreak
occurred. Judge Wing asked the cues
ton:
Now, Mrs. Foy, did not the prosecu-
ton give you any money!
"Object," interposed Attorney Bot
tum.
'.Let her give the answer" cried a
heavy voice from near the reporters
table. Every one in the court room
turned in establishment. Attorney
Daniel Donahue, counsel for the defense,
was the first person to discover the
source of the remark

up" he said. It was then seen that the
remark had come from John Devoy.
