SHERIDAN ON THE RACK.
THE SAlo0HKEsPER ESCAPES QUITE
EASi-Y THIS TINE.
THE SAME OLD sToRrE

That Were Related During the
Dugan Trial Are Being Told
at the White Trial White
Calls sheridan a Liar-Nothing
New in the Evidence to Speak
of-The Court Room Does Not
Draw Large Crowds.
The White trial is not drawing very
large crowds. The evidence al luced is
practically the same as brought out dur
ing Dugan's trial, so there is not much
for the curious to feast upon save
repetition of all old story. The trial
also promises to be short one, much
shorter than that of Dugan. Mrs. Har-
ris Was on the,stand yesterday morning
and Went through rather tedious re-
direct and crOSs-eXamination. Nothing
new was brought out. The matter of
the stories told 10 Mrs. Brown was gone
over with again, but Mrs. Harris was
hrm on all the points, maintaining
StrenuOusly that she had told her neigh
Dor nothing OF what the attorneys asked
her.
DR.. Charles Simpson and Coroner
Spring, who made the post-mortem ex-
animation. were called and testified to
the circumstances. the condition Of the
body and the nature of the wound which
caused the death of Mr.. Harris. Miss
Lillian Gray Powers, who figured in the
Dugan case and who was that PERSONS
landlady whilst be lived here, brought
out point i'll favor OF the defense. She
Swore positively that Dugan wore q
white shirt and that White had on a
dark shirt on the night they were all in
SherlGan's saloon. 1t was on this night
that Harris was murdered, and all the
other witnesses for the state have sworn
that Whites shirt was white one.
White, she said. had the same shirt on
when he called at her house previous to
her seeing him at Sheridau'S.
Jim Sheridan was then called to the
stand. He escaped the scathing sarcasm
anu the terrible arraignmeut that was
accorded him by Mr.. Davis in the other
trial. He felt more at MS ease i'm cuuSe-
quence, and the audience missed a de-
lectable bit of roast. He narrated the
circumstance of the men in the saloon,
the hat and the revolver.
lie Was recalled in the afternoon, and
Mr.. Penney forced him to admit that he
had sworn falsely before the grand
jury. He went before that body and
swore that Reed and Yorkey were in
the saloon that night with the other
men. In reply to Mr.. Penney's ques-
tonlng, he stated that they were not
there. and then fell back on bad men,
DRY as an excuse for the difference in
his testimony. He was somewhat 10th
to admit that it was on his testimony
That both Yorkey and Reed were ar
rested. During the cross-eXamination
Mr.. Penney asked Sheridan why he had
gone down to st. Paul prior 10 the
bringing OF White TO this CITY. and VINO
had sent him there. He replied:
"Feeiey and Cullen b )iH wanted me
to 60, and Otto Langum-'
Did Otto Langum ask you TO COZ"
mo. SIR"
Did Sheriff Eye ask you to go?"
mo, ST."
Now. Sheridan. didn't you tell White
TINT Sheriff Eye sent you down there to
talk 10 hlm?'
No, sir. l didn't"
No sooner had Sheridan delivered
himself of this reply than White partly
rose In his seat and shouted:
You're liart'
There was painful pause for a mo-
mcnt, which was broken by Mr.. Penney,
VINO continued the cross-examlnation.
Carl Wlngate, the university student,
and a. Olson, the car repairer, VINO
saw, or supposed they saw. White ana
Dugan Oh the night of the murder, tes-
tilted to what they had seen and why
they thought they had seenit- and how
they were sure their memories had not
played them false relative 10 the events
OF the night in question. Neither of the
men testified to anything new. Both of
them identified White as the man they
had seen, though neither one would
swear he was the man.
