The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1894-01-10

Yesterday was by far the most inter
trial in Judge Campbell's-gide Of the
circuit court, Some of the testimony
offered was of an unexpected character
and the cross-examination OF MIR.
James P. Rogers. who was for many
years the legal adviser OF Michael
Reilly, brought out the admission on
his part thai his client was wholly
i~rrationalin regard to his children. On
the other hand, the copies OF letters
written until within a. very short time
of his death, introduced by tho will de-
tenders, showed a measure Of capacity.
What the cross-oxamination will do will
be shown to-day.
George Lutz was the frat witness ex-
amined. He was cross-eXamined by
Mr.. Hubbard, but nothing additional to
what came out tho previous day was
told. Thelexamination was chiefly IN
regard to contracts entered into be-
tween the witness and A1r. Reilly.
Jacob Fooge, the insurance man., was
next examined. He had known
Michael Reilly all his life and had writ
ten insurance for him in 1890 and 1901.
From tho facts and circumstances the
witness judged that the mcntai coho'-
ton OF the decoascd was all rlEht. On
cross-examlnatlon the witness was asked
to produce his commission as an insur-
ance agent. Witness said he had it at
his Office. On further cross.examina-
ton by Mr.. Hubbard witnoss denied
that he had said to James Reilly that
he would make a bad witness Tor Father
Sullivan. He admitted that he was half
drunk on this occasion and that he
E#-.I- - TnTI1- fol- SS ~ IT1Inn
Melvin the witness a0id he was not
drunk on the occasions when he talked
business to Michael Reilly.
DR.. r. McC. Baird, the'physician who
attended Michael Reilly during his fatal
~iilness, was next called to the witness
stand. He said that the old gentle
mans death was caused by acute in
1luenza, and that when he was at the
sick mans bedside he always answered
questions i~ntelligentiy and recognized
him. Toward the last he became stupid
and dull; he sat in q chair during near
~ the whole time he was i'll. AS to
mental condition, the Witness said that
