Mrs Toy Passes Through Her Cross Exam.
inatlon Fairly Welt
CHICAGO, Dec. 81 -Ycstcrday was
u day Of sensational developments
In the trial o, Daniel Coughlih. The
prisoner was self.possess,d aud mp
parently indifferent to IL all, but the
lawyers on both Sides and Mrs. Andrew
Foy, the persona who participated, be-
came nervously excited Outbreaks
among the lawyers were numerous and
rccriminations were INDUCED in and
bitterly resented. The defense sue.
cceeded In sensational climax to tho
cross-cxamination OF Mrs Foy In pre-
scnting her TO Tho jury in a far less
favorable light than she appeared when
She left the stand last week
Her suircrngs were not dwclt upon
much when she was examined by the
pre-, ecution. sim the woman's nerve
and self-posscsson never deserted her.
After recovering from the shock and
surprise incident TO the quick plays
made by the defense with their trump
cards, she turned upon Attorney Wing
and practically crouched behind him.
The lawyer did not expect TO be placed
In such position, but tho witness at
that time was In the hands OF the
prosecution again.
The best point she made for the state
was to bring out the fact, undenied by
Attorney Wing, that he and Forrest
told the woman 10 go home and give
her husband a further trial orsproba-
ton OF ak months, which she did. Tho
attorneys for the prosecution say they
are satisfied with the ending OF Mrs
Foy's cross-examiuation, and the do
PENDANTS lawyers said tho woman's
story would be rendered worthless
when all their impeaching ties timony
was heard.
