the FACTS WERE VERY PLAIN


Lucian c. Lenan, the Haytien coon"
charged with bigamy, was brought up be-
fore Justice Young for examination yester-
day afternoon. The learned and versatile
man OF color was very soon immersed i'll
the intricacies of several law tones that
1ay upon the counsels' table. Gen. John
stone Jones appeared for the man of two
wives and Deputy District Attorney Nc
Comas for the people. Lenan. who was
provided with some ruled paper, took vol
luminous shorthand notes and looked more
like colored lawyer than a lawyers col
ored client.
The first Mrs. Lenan, a mulatto, who
said that her name was Ann, was called to
the stand. She testified that she had lived
here over thirty years and that she was
acquainted with L. c. Lenan. The witness
was not allowed to say another word be-
cause the attorney for her husband SIREN
uously objected to it. But she was recalled
later on and said that her name was once
Ann Daniels.
A book of marriage entries was intro
duced In which the marriage of the defend
ant, Lucius c. Lenan, to Mrs. Ann Daniels
on December 4th, 1886, was recorded. In
another book was recorded that of the

fact that he and his attorney. Mr.. Ladi,
had put their wise heads together for the
purpose of Matchmaking Maier at the time
he had consulted the lawyer with respect
to the penalty attached to selling diseased
and unwholesome meat. The object of
Hoffman's ofi1ciousness in the case was
entirely the result of a desire to protect
his family from the consequences of eating
bad viands, he said. The receipt given by
the defendant to Maier was submitted to
him and he claimed that Maier's statement
that he, the defendant, had drawn up the
document out of his head was false. 1t had
been dictated to him by the complaining
witness who stood behind him.
Mr.. Hoffman's explanations became rath-
er involved under the cross-examina ton,
and they were not very Ineligible as his
accent grew worse and worse during his
steadily increasing excitement.
Butcher Rogers said that the lights had
been given to him for nothing by Maier and
that he gave them away to the Hoffmans
He would not say that he had seen an alb
cess in them when brought back by the de-
PENDANT, neither would he swear that those
given by him to Mrs. Hoffman were the
same which Hoffman brought back.

Der 18th. 1887.
John Neville. a colored janitor, said he
s'were" present when Mr.. Lenan was mar
ried to Mrs. Ann Daniels in 1856, on Olive
street. by Elder Savage of the Methodist
church. Witness knew that Mrs. Lenan
was not married to anyone else.
Mrs. Ann Lenan was recalled by the de-
tense and In reply to some leading ques-
lions denied that she had lived year ago
or at any time with one Hardy Moulton,
and passed as his wife.
Rev. Geo. A Snyder, proved the marriage
Of the defendant with Matte Clark. He
had performed the ceremony himself al
$50 p. m. at the residence of the bride s
mother on Temple street.
This was the case for the people. The de-
Tense claimed that the prosecution had not
shown probable cause to hold the defend
ant. No criminal intent had been shown.
Lnsinuations that the case was cooked up
against the prisoner for purpose were
thrown out by the defense, but the court
said that he had nothing to do with that

joint. Being in INDECENT circumstances, the
patient was sent to the county hospital
after he had received a preliminary dress
ing from Police Surgeon Bryant at the city
receiving hospital. At the county hos
ptal he was treated by the defendant until
Nov. 10th. When Butler was cured it was
found that his left leg was half an inch
shorter than the other, and, ascribing it to
DR.. Hagan, he sued him for s25 900 dam
ages.
The defendant claimed that If the patient
had not cons family interfered with the
splints and other appliances placed on his
leg to keep it in proper position he would
have sustained no permanent injury and
that he had no one to blame but himself
After that the suit took long rest, prin-
cipally because Buffers attorneys would
not proceed with the case until they had
received their retaining fees. Later Mess
more G. Young were substituted as his coun-
sci, and he alleged in an affidavit filed in
court last month that, instead of using up
the $165 he procured and paid over to them
in bringing. the case to speedy trial, they
spent the money for their own private uses
and under one pretext or another delayed
the prosecution Of the suit. After a few
more changes in attorneys, Butler finally
got Stafford & Dougherty to keep up his
fight, and they appeared yesterday for
him.
The testimony was nearly all of an expert
character. and several prominent doctors
explained their views upon the way in
which d fractured leg should be treated by
the attending surgeon. The case went over
until today to give the plaintiff an oppor-
tunity to introduce the evidence Of one more
doctor.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS,
Charged With Having Violated the
Pension Laws for Twenty Years

Charged With Having Violated the
Pension Laws for Twenty Years.
The pension Office has just received in
formation of the arrest of Margaret Nc
Carly. Ellen Casey and Eugene Casey
charged with forgery in the case of Mary
McCarty, mother of Dennis. deceased
soldier of the civil war. These arrests are
considered among the most important ever
made by the department, as the culprits
have been successfully impersonating a pen
sioner for more tfen twenty years.
According to q report from the special
examiner who worked up the case it ap-
pears that the pensioner Mary McCarty
died III this city, December 49, 1871 Since
that time Margaret McCarty has PERSONAL
ed her mother and signed and sworn to
the vouchers to May 4 last In this she
has been assisted by Mrs. Ellen Casey,
another daughter of the deceased pensloner,
and for the last three or four years a son
of Ellen Casey, Eugene Casey, has been a
witness. Mrs. Casey has been held in 81 900
bail for the action of the grand jury and
her son. who is twenty years of age in $500
bail. The principal. Margaret McCarty, is
reported sick in bed with inflammatory
rheumatism and has not been given a hear
ing. She is, however, in charge of a
United States marshal. Several thousand
dollars have been embezzled from the gov
eminent. the pension officials charge, in
this case.

The first witness called for the United
States was DR.. Larkin w. Glazebrook,
deputy coroner. The witness said he had
examined Coyle at the morgue and found
him to be q small, emaciated man, in the
first days of consumption. There was a
clean-cut wound on the left side of the
nose, evidently made by some sharp IN
strument. On the left side of the head was
q hole, although the skin was not broken
OF bruised. Opening the scalp he found a
bad fracture of the skull, the bones in the
center being depressed about three-Quarters
of an inch. The mans death was due to
hemorrhage subsequent to the fracture
DIR. Glazebrook said he was struck with
the remarkable thinness of the skull of the
dead man. its thickness at the point of
fracture being scarcely one-siXteenth of an
inch. Held to the light it could be seen
through. Ordinarily the skull is about one
half an inch in thickness at that point
The farcture was made, in his opinion, by
some blunt instrument. 1t might have
been made by the man falling violently
against a chair, DR.. Glazebrook said. on
cross-examination, but was not by falling
on the floor or against any smooth object
DR.. Albert E. johnson, who attended
Coyle before death, was called and his tes-
timony was similar to that of the first wit
ness.

BALLOON ABOVE SANTIAGO
seea Taking Observations Yesterday Of
Spanish Fortifcations
1t Was Sent Up From the American
Camp, in Charge of Two
Men.

NEW YORK, July IA dispatch to the
Journal from a correspondent in Santiago
de Cuba states that a balloon sent up from
the American camp was seen from San
tiago on Thursday. In the balloon were
two men. seemingly taking observations of
the Spanish Notifications about Santiago.
CHICAGO. July 1.-The balloon that is
now in active use and sailing over the be-
leaguered city of Santiago and in plain
view of $4,000 Spaniards and II 900 Amer
leans, was shipped from Tampa with
ShaIters forces, together with the sub
marine cables and other field telegraph
equipment now being used by the Signal
Corps of the regular army in Cuba
Mr.. W. j. Lloyd. assistant district super
intendent of the Western Union telegraph
company, says that it is probably one of
the nnest and most improved equipments
used In warfare. This balloon was shipped
from Paris early in May and is charged
with oxygen gas from tubular reservoirs
Which have been in use by the army for
experimental purposes at Fort Riley
The balloon is first charged and then
alowed to ascend by means of wire cables
from a large reel, made fast to a field
wagon The cable is used as telegraph
ana telephone conductor, and the occupa nts
OF the balloon transmit to the ground their
observations
There is little danger of thu balloon being
pierced by rife shot on account of its
SWdylHS cOndltlon and the eX-
IRENE difficulty of hitting anything at an
elevation of say $500 feet, which is the
usual limit of a cable reel Thu French
Gam to have a gun which will pierce q
balloon, but it is supposed there are none
In use either in the American or Spanish
armies. Had one of these balloons been
aboard of SIMPSONS fleet much anxiety
would have been prevented pending the
maj discovery CT Admiral Cervera in San
taso harbor. 1t is Mr.. Lloyd's belief that
the balloon is in charge of Major Joseph E.
Maxfield, who was formerly signal officer of
the department of the Missouri with Gen
eral Brookes of Chicago. This particular
balloon has lifting capacity of 300 or 400
pounds, which will enable it to carry two
signal men of ordinary weight, as well as
the necessary telegraph apparatus. This is
said to be the first time that balloon has
ever been put in actual war service on this
side of the Atlantic ocean.

THE SENATE RECEDED.
Agreed to Sundry Civil and India
Appropriation Bills.

Agreed to Sundry Civil and Indian
Appropriation Bills.
The Senate late yesterday afternoon
cleared thu legislative decks for what may
be the final action upon the Hawaiian an
nexation resolutions. Through Its action
the last Of the appropriation bills that has
been pending in conference was disposed of
and was Jaw before midnight.
After debate lasting three hours the
Senate finally receded from its amendments
to the sundry civil and adopted the con-
ference report On the Indian appropriation
bill Mr.. Allison Qowa). in charge of the
bills, explained that 1t was necessary that
the reports should be agreed to last night
as that was the last Of the fiscal year. He
pointed out that If the bills were not laws
by midnight they would have to be passsd
again by the two branches of Congress.
The delay consequent upon such action
would seriously embarrass the government
and might force Congress to remain in ses-
sion several weeks longer.
In denouncing the action Of the conferees
for striking out the free homes provision
of the Indian bill, Mr.. Pettigrew Is. d.
charged the republican party with being
dominated by the money power and with
the election of senators by the corrupt use
Of money.
Mr.. Bate CTenn) and Mr. Tillman Is. C)
discussed at length the Hawaiian annexa-
ton resolutions. The latter discussed the
race problem from the standpoint of a
southern man. and was Enthusiastically
vigorous In his remarks. He accounted for
the slight interest manifested In the Ha-
waiian debate by saying that the question
was fully discussed in executive session
early last winter, and that 1t was only nat
urai that there should be a lack Of interest
and an unwillingness to listen to q repeti-
ton OF speeches delivered then.
At GA pm. the Senate went into execu-
tive session, and at 6:S7 adjourned.
