Peter Bell Slowly Recovering From the

An examination in the Italian shooting
case which occurred on First street on the
night of April 19, in which Antonio Men
ikeo shot Peter Bell, fellow countryman,
in the breast, inficting a dangerous

with Julian Cornelia, John Nepolitania
and Michael Benito, who were held as
witnesses.
Bell was sent to the City Hospital,
where he has since remained unable to
appear in court until this morning. The
testimony Of Bell and the other witnesses
was simply reiteration of the statements
made by them on the morning after the
shooting, by which it was made clear that
Menikeo was under the influence of liquor
when he fired the shot, and he being exas-
perated by an effort being made by his COM

BODIES In THE STABLE.
But No Reason For Fear of Injury
to Health at the Catholic
Cemetery.

The citizens of West Side avenue, who
live in the vicinity of the Catholic Gene
terry, have been seriously alarmed of late
by rumors which have been circulated to
the effect that the cemetery authorities
were depositing bodies in the stable owing
to the overcrowding of the vaults.
A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter called on
Mr.. Connor, who is superintendent of the
cemetery, this morning to see what he had
to say regarding the matter. He said that
it was true that there were a number OF
bodies deposited there, but that they are
removing them as rapidly as they possibly
could. The new burying ground is now
ready, and the only thing that is keeping
the bodies in tae stable is the hardness of
friends in selecting the graves. They have
been burying in the new grounds for the
past four days and expect to be able to re-
sumo work in the old grounds in a few
days more as the ground is rapidly drying.
He says it is only bodies that are in good
state of preservation that are put in the
stable, and that no offensive odor is emit
ted from them. He took the reporter to
the stable to prove it and the latter
couldn't see anything that should cause
alarm. The part which contains the bod
les is entirely separated from the rest of
the building and no one could tell that it
was used as receiving vault without they
were told. There is no odor whatever in
the vicinity

why the American Convict Did Not
Hide Much in London.
BOSTON, May II, 1S93.-The escaped
convict Lynch. who was returned to
State Prison last night, says that while
in London. he made little effort to hide
himself, as he had consulted a barrister
there and felt sure he could not be extra
dited.
1.-The barrister," said Lynch. Though
that the extradition treaty could not
reach my case. There is no provision for
returning escaped convirts. The treaty
does provide to have given MP persons
against whom a felonyts charged. but with
me he said there conld be no such charge.
had been tried, convicted and sentenced
on the allegation against me, and that
ended the matter. could not be tried
on that charge again. or course Eng
land might return me as a matter OF in-
ternational courtesy, but if The treaty
was set aside in my Case, it might as well
be given up altogether"
Lynch said that he could have ap-
pealed to the Queens Bench, but he had
not money enough. He intends, if he
ever has an opportunity, to make test
case of it. He also states that, having
been extradited. as the Judge informed
him, for the original felony. the State
will have no right TO add TO his sentence
for escaping.

| vicious did. They slept on their arms
against the community. The evidence
showed the prisoner to be a turbulent
man. 1t was sorry spectacle the de-
| Tense had made in attempting to show
| why he carried revolver. He had been
assaulted by a man for having said some
| hing against the mans sister.
| The Prosecutor reviewed Givens' own
| testimony to show that he was in several
such scrapes and that there seemed to be
a general desire of the community to get
| rid of him. ''They say he shoL this man
| in self-defense, but where Is the room for
self-defense? Bonner tried to per-
suade him not co shoot Ward.
Givens said, stand back or Pil
| blow your brains out Rodgers
tried to persuade him not to shoot Ward.
Givens said, You get out Of the way;
don't want to hurt you" He seemed to
be looking for Ward. A man who don't
want TO be shot runs away. But the man
who wants to shoot another, waits Tor
his prey. He says he went up the alley
way TO get his clothes-with his revolver
in his hands. Do you believe it,"
THE ,ALLEYWAY STORY MANUFACTURED.
Then the Prosecutor read the evidence
| of both Givens and his wife 10 show a
contradiction which would tend TO prove
that the shooting did not take place i'll
| the alleyway at all.
Ile a1leyWay story, US udiubatueu,
was manufactured to save the worthless

| The Prosecutor then began to tear the
testimoney of Mrs. Ward to pieces on
| account OF it's variance with that given
at the Coroner's inquest, as already pub

Counsellor Noonan at this point called
! for a ruling that 10 allusion to testimony

| was not represented by counsel. The

EXPERT TESTIMONY A NUISANCE.
| AS to DR.. Culver's testimony. the Prose-
cutor said:-"Expert testimony is now
| becoming such nuisance that steps are
| being taken in New York to curb 1t.
| These experts will swear to anything.

In conclusion the Prosecutor begged

drawn by this marvellous machine, made
102 miles an hour, a great record in itself,
but Engineer Charles Hogan said she
was not feeling well that day and could
do bstter. She was given a nigh It's rest
here. and yesterday morning was brought
out looking ponderOus, trim and stately,
and sent down to Syracuse for another
trial.
THE TRIP BEGUN.
The Empire State Express arrived in
Syracuse on time. and Hogan and No. 500
were ready to take her. The engine was
on time. Hogan let her out a few tunes
on the way to Rochester, just 10 see il
she was feeling good. and. finding thai
she responded to every touch OF
the throttle, he contentedly bided
his time. He did not want to
her into the Rochester depot at just the
right moment. The test of speed was to
come between Rochester and this city.
Soon after leaving Rochester he slowed
her down little, for he Intended 10 make
up the time at the western end Gf the
trip.
LET HER OUT.
Passing Batavia the train was rushing
along at an easy gail of mile a minute.
Then Hogan let her out. The speed in
creased ss the engine flew along, aud just
before reaching Cr1ttendon the record OF
Tuesday, of a mile In Ihirty-dve seconds,
was equalled. But this was exceeded
just this side of that tation when tho new
worlds record of a mile in thirty-two
seconds was made.
This is equivalent TO 112 1-2 miles an
hour speed nearly as great was kept up
uni1l Forks Station was reached aad then
Hogan slowed her down aud allowed her
to enter Buffalo at her customary speed ;
arriving on time.
STEADY FLYING.
The passengers on board said that the
train flew along with the same steadiness
that would have accompanied slower
rate OF speed. There was no unusual
swaying or jolting, and ouly persons who
were looking out for manifestations OF
extraordinary speed would have noticed
