ii sPHAs CASE.
Important Testimony for the Defense.
Nearing the End.

NeurlNk tue Emu
Those who predicted that the Speas
case would occupy the attention of
court two weeks will be badly mis-
taken, ms the case will be cleaned up
this week.
The largest crowd of the trial was
present yesterday morning and listened
10 the opening OF the defense. But
two witnesses were examined in the
morning, DR.. Hartman, OF lndepend'
ence, Pa, and Amos Speas.
DIR. Hartman was the most important
witness for the defense, as he has u rep.
utation OF being q specialist on blood
diseases. lie, as n witness. proved q
failure, as he was so badly muddled
under the Cross.eXamination that he
did not know what he was talking
about. The defense relied on him
more than on any other witness to
prove their claim as to the child's
death.
Amos speas, the defendants husband,
was on tho stand a good part OF the day,
and testified that the child Nora was al
ways in u badly emaciated condition,
sores continually breaking out over her
body, and that on several occasions she
had to be carried around. He also
stated that Mrs. Speaa always appeared
fond oflthe child and had never beaten
it 10 his knowledge.
The defense will close its side soon,
probably early Friday morning, when
thn will hn heuun. The rest
of the testimony adduced will be Of a
highly interesting character, as it will
be given by tho defendants neighbors.
The defense is making a strong effort
to have tho testimony OF Drs. Johnson
and Walkinshaw thrown out. They
will probably be unsuccessful.
The case will 60 to the jury to-mor-
row. and a verdict may be expected by
Saturday, 1t is difficult to say what
the verdict may be. Some people OK.
pecL an acQuittal, and others q verdict
OF guilty as charged in the indictment.

TME SWEENEY INTEnEsTs
Are Being Closed Out Preparatory to
Removal to Harvey.

Are Being Closed Out Preparatory to
Removal to Harvey.
The foundry at tho General Engineer
ing Company's establishment, formerly
A. ]. Sweeney & Sons, on the South
Side, closed down permanently yester-
day, preparatory to the entire removal
OF the business to Harvey, Illinois,
which will take place very soon. The
machine shop will continue running
here for at least a month, as the CON-
pany has contracts which cannot be
completed in less than that time. The
extensive buildings will then be wrecked
and the real estate, including the half
square bounded by Chapline, Twenty
seventh and Eoff streets will probably
be divided up into lots and sold. The
latter course may not be pursued as
Rolf & Zane, the real estate men, have
been negotiating for the ground. In
sixty days the only Sweeney industrial
interests remaining in Wheeling will DO
the repair shop on Twelfth street.
