Jail the next day, allowing him to re-
main in his fathers house over night
and meeting him at an appointed place
in the morning.
Kenny told his story in a straight
forward manner, exhibiting little feel
ing Of any kind, excepting possibly an
anxiety to dwell forcibly upon such
parts of it as put Healey in a bad
light. If he was conscious of any guilt
he did not exhibit 1t by his actions.
The Cross-eNamination failed to shake
his statement in the least.
The other witnesses examined yes
terday for the commonwealth were
Mrs. Healey, the widow, who gave i'm
portant testimony regarding her hus-
bands condition when he was brought
home. On cross-examination it was
endeavored to bring out an admission
that the witness had told a brother Of
the defendant that her husband. on his
dying bed told her Kenny was not to
blame and should not be prosecuted,
but she denied ever having made such
a statement.
William Sterrick, for the defense,
told Of Kenny meeting him in Curran's
to sell him his set of miners tools. He
saw nothing of the trouble, however.
Anthony Mcdonald, for whom Kenny
labored, was called to show that Kenny
had thrown up his job two davs be-
fore the killing. with the intention of
going to New York state. but the tes-
timony would not be admitted.
The opening for the defense was
made by Mr.. Conry and was an elo-
quent and doubtlessly effective effort.
