o'clock in the afternoon and IIcaley
shout O'Clock. Kenny, he rcmcm-
bcrs. was talking with a man named
StnrliCk about a set Of mining tools.
Kenny and IIealcY were apparently
friendly during the afternoon, but in
the evening when they came back. af-
ter supper, they were not on friendly
terms.
After the alteration he told the two
they would have to get out, but de-
MED that he led Kenny to the door.
\ boy named Thomas Munley was
called as a witness of the affair on
the crossing but it. developed that he
did not see it. 1t was early in the
day that he saw Kenny at the cross
| ing.
HEALEY HIT KENNY.
Jamos FitlpatricN was standing on
the Delaware ana Hudson steam rail-
road crossing when Kenny came along
from the direction of Curran's place,
one hundred wards away. They had
been chatting two or three minutes
| when HeaIey came along and dealt
Kenny blow without saying anything
to him. Kenny started up the gravity
|
| tance away. Healey moved towards
him and said Hold on Ed" in a quiet
tone OF voice. 1t was so dark that the
| witness could not see whether Kenny
waited or whether the two went up the
| track together
\ few minutes later several women,
among them two Of Kenny's sisters,
! came down the track from the dircc-
/ tG t,1r.
told the witness and Michael Keegan,
who had come up in the meantime,
that there was a man lying alongside
| the gravity track.
| The witness and Keegan went up
and found Healey lying on the ground,
! $50 feet from the crossing in sort of
stupor. They wanted to take him
home but he objected.
Despite the protests, Keegan and the
witness lifted him up and started with
him towards his home. The witness
left Healey in charge of Keegan, alone,
about two hundred feet from Healey's
house. Neither the witness nor Kee-
gan knew that Heaey was wounded
and when they expressed surprise at
his supposed beastly drunken condi-
tion he said he was all right and want
ed them to let him alone. Healey
seemed to grow more helpless the fur
ther they walked
On cross-eXamination Mr.. Murphy
elected the fact that Healey's home
is located in the opposite direction to
the railroad crossing from Curran's
place and that Kenny's home is in the
same direction as the railroad cross
| ing,
He further brought out the admis-
sion that Kenny tried TO get away
from Healey and made no attempt to
return the attack, When Healey per-
sisted In pursuing him, Kenny crossed
over to the gravity track and started
away. Healey asked Kenny to wait
but Kenny kept on.
Healey then followed and both men
disappeared in the darkness, Kenny
slightly in advance of Healey.
