SENSATION IN HOGAN CASE.
BUT THE RECORDS belle HIM
Hogan EndeavopS to Prove
His Wife No Angel--Gone
to the Jury.

The washing of the Hogan family's
dirty linen in Judge Willis court
was given to the jury last night
to be wrung out. The hearing ended
with a senSa ton, Judge Willis order
ing the arrest of jeremiah Sheehan,
Mrs. Hogan's step-father, on a
charge of perjury. Sheehan gave
damaging testimony against Hogan
the day before, stating on the stand
hat he had stood ten minutes look
ing through a window watching Ho-
gan while he and Irene Peasley were
occupying the same 'virtuouS
couch" When it came time for
Hogan's attorney to cross-examine
the witness, he asked him if he had
ever been convicted of crime.
mo, sir; 1 have not" was the posi-
tive reply.
Were you not arrested and fined in
Minneapolis"
NO, sir
weren't you fined, and didn't Mr..
Hogan pay the money to get you out?"
mo, SIR
Yesterday the clerk of the municipal
COuIl Vi DIS Oii tietiiu
with the court records to prove that
man named jeremiah Sheehan had
been convicted of using abusive Ian
guage and fined SO. Witness could
not identify Sheehan on account of
the large number of persons brought
into court on similar petty offenses.
But the court was informed that it
could easily be proven that this was
the same man. Judge Willis let the
affair drop until all the testimony was
in in the case, and then he ordered
the clerk to make out a commitment
for Sheehan and have him locked up
in the county Jail pending an investi-
cation of the charge of perjury.
The plaintiff in the case attempted
to spring a little sensation, too, by
charging that an effort had been made
to intimidate some of her witnesses.
The court said he would investigate
the matter after O'clock but it was
$50 before the case went to the jury,
so nothing was done. It is probable
something will be said about it this
morning, however, when the jury re-
turns its sealed verdict.
AS far as the testimony was con-
cerred. there was not as much of the
rich, rare and racy" as there was the
day before. The defense tried to prove
that Mrs. Hogan has not lived the life
of an angel since she parted from her
hubby" Testimony was introduced
to show that Sheehan and his wife,
Mrs. Hogan's mother, have been keep
ing an designation house, and that
Mrs. Hogan has been an inmate there
Of Benjamin Bridell, a switchman,
testified that he had called on Mrs
Hogan and she sat on his lap and
asked him if he had any stuff" She
did not larry long with him, excusing
herself on the ground that she had
another fellow she was working"
but invited him to call again, when
her time might not be so profitably
occupied.
The jury was instructed to determ-
inc several questions in the case, these
being relative to the guilt of one or
the other or both of the parties, and
also the custody of the child. But
Judge Willis intimated that he. under
no circumstances. would deprive the
mother of the CUSTODY of the child
until it had reached the age of two
wears
