HOW M'NEALIS
MET HIS DEATH
Testimony Before the Coroner's Jury
Shows That the Accident Might
Have Been Avoided

Coroner Julien and a jury held an
inquest yesterday afternoon at Dug
CAMS into the death of E. McNealis,
who was killed by blast in the Dia-
mond mine Monday morning. Frank
Crilley, P. Maier William F. Dallas,
Shiftboss John Garfield, Superintend-
ent Higgins and Deputy Mine Inspector
Frank Hunter testified. The miners
gave testimony to show that MeNealis
and his partner. Cleary, Were working
in raise 100 feet above the 90O-foot
level; that nine holes had been drilled
with the machine, and the McNealis
had put the gelatine in all of them and
was in the act of printing the second
hole. having tamped and prepared one
for firing.
The testimony after this. was theoreti-
cal. The opinion was that McNeals
was in the act of putting in the primer
which is a piece of the gelatine, or
giant and Hercules, composition con-
tanning about so per cent nitro-glycer-
inc, when, in some manner. the cap was
exploded. 1t was the opinion of the
superintendent and inspector that the
primer stuck in the hole and that Nc
Nealis. in his desire to take advantage
of time forced the "rimer into the hole
with a shovel handle. This, in the opin
ion of these gentlemen, would create
concusson of air between the primer
and the charge. 1t would have been
the proper thing, when the primer
struck to remove the cap and fuse and
pick the gelatine out with the point of
a scraper used in the drilling process.
This is the superintendent sugges-
ton.
1t might have been that McNealis
had told Cleary to get a scraper, for
after the latter was found in a dazed
condition after the blast he incoher-
entity asked for a scraper and drink
of water.
The jury's verdict was that death was
caused by accident and that no blame
attached to any one.
Cleary's condition was somewhat i'm
proved yesterday. He is at the Sisters
hospital.

SHE TOOK WOOD ALCOHOL
Friends Insist That Suicide Was
Not Intended.
HAD BEEN DESPONDENT
Business Reverses Which Were Crush
ing Blow to the Ambitions OF Miss
Burgess-wa Discovered
Too Late.

Miss Mary Burgess, a well known
and much liked waitress, died at $50
o'clock yesterday morning from the eff
fects of drinking wood alcohol which,
however, her many friends maintain
was not taken with suicidal intent She
died in the Bon Ton lodging house in
Front street, near Utah avenue, South
Butte, where she had lived for several
months. While the young woman had
been respondent of late over business
reverses, she had never intimated her
intention of committing suicide as a
means of relief.
Some time ago Miss Burgess was
housekeeper at the Syndicate mines,
where it is the custom to employ some
one to care for the offices and keep
them in order. She had been employed
in various hotels and restaurants since
she came to Butte, about several years
ago.
year ago she leased the Merrimac
house in Alaska street and in this ven
ture she failed about six months ago.
That seemed to be a crushing blow to
her ambitions and spirits and since
then it has been a struggle for her
She went to work at the Bon Ton res
remained in employment until a week
ago, when she quit. She retained her
room in the house and her roommate
was May Heating, an employe of the
house, which is run by Miss Hannah
Mulcahy and d. J. jenkins,
Monday night May Heating .~nnt to
the theater and returned home at 1880
o'clock. Miss Burgess was in bed, and
she said that she was feeling badly
and asked Miss Heating for a glass of
water, which was given to her. Later
Miss Burgess got up and put wet
towel on her head, and complained OF
severe pains in the head. She retired
and about o'clock Miss Heating was
awakened by the groans of Miss Bur-
CESS, who was vomiting. Miss Heating
insisted upon calling a doctor, but the
sick woman objected saying that she
would soon be better and urged her
companion to go to sleep. another
spell of violent vomiting, and then
Miss Heating called the landlady. who
at once asked Miss Burgess if she had
not been drinking from a gallon can of
wood alcohol which the girl had in the
room. She denied at first. but finally
admitted that she had drank some of it.
DR.. Bryant was telephoned for, but
did not respond, and DR., Hall of the
Owsley block was summoned When
he arrived the woman was in stupor.
He applied artificial respiration, but the
woman died at 5:30,'
OF late she had drank considerable
whiskey. Empty bottles were found
in the trunk, butno whiskey or money,
and it is believed that she dranlo the
wood alcohol for the effects 1t produces
rather than with the intention of TAX
ing her life. .....
Her mother, Mrs. Mary Donohue,
lives in Sioux City. Iowa. Among the
young woman's personal effects was
nothing to show that she had any other
relatives. She was insured in the New
York Life for 81 900 and the premium
is paid up to Dec. 8, 1899, all in favor
of her mother She had many friends
among some of the best people in
Butte, who will not listen to the sug-
gestion of suicide. The body is at Sher-
mans.

SENTENCED TO Be HANGED


hung by your neck until dead" had
been spoken. AS he took his seat he
displayed just the slightest evidence
his hands as he moved them about.
Mr.. Thresher renewed his request for
10 days additional time in which to pre-
pare bill of exceptions
The law gives you 10 days and we
will see about the additional time"
said the court
The attorney then asked that the is
suance of the death warrant be stay
ed, but the court declined to do that.
Then, at this time, l understand the
court refuses to grant any additional
timer said Mr.. Thresher.
Yes, SIR
The attorney took an exception, and
afterwards stated he would take an ap-
peal to the supreme court on that
point
Mr.. Cason. who did not appear to
relish the idea of having been dis
placed in the case by another attor-
ney, asked the court to make an order
on the records substituting Attorneys
Hamilton & Thresher as counsel for
the defendant. but the court suggest
ed that to have that done Mr.. Cason
should withdraw his own name. He
was not willing to do that, and will,
therefore. remain in the case.
Through the apparent neglect or
oversight of his attorney, Lucey finds
himself in an unusually serious predic-
ament, with his right of appeal to the
supreme court possibly forfeited.
Originally his attorney secured a stay
of proceedings until Aug. in which to
prepare a bill of exceptions and state
ment on motion for a new trial. Suisse
sequently an extension of 20 days was
asked for and obtained and that ex-
pired some time ago, since which time
no further action has been taken by his
attorney. 1t is now claimed that as
matter of law Lucey has lost all
right of an appeal, though the court
in its discretion, may permit him to
perfect his appeal by granting more
time, but is not obliged to do So The
matter will probably come up at the
expiration of the 10 days allowed in
which to prepare a bill OF exceptions
after the entry of judgment.

THE M'CARRELL BILL
Passed the Pennsylvania Senate by I
Vote of 2T to II.

Passed the Pennsylvania Senate by q
Vote of 27 to II.
Harrisburg, Feb. 2.-There was a
long debate in the senate yesterday on
the McCarrell bill preventing district
attorneys from setting aside jurors,
which was on third reading. Mr.. Finn
vigorously denounced the measure and
Mr.. McCarrell as vigorously defended
1t. The bill passed the senate by vote
OF 2S to II. Analysis of the vote showed
that the senators lined up on the bill
according to their factional affiliations.
All but two Democrats, Messrs. Boyd
and Stiles, voted in the negative with
the anti-Quayites. The gubernatorial
appointments sent to the senate were
confirmed.
Senator Henry, OF Philadelphia,
speaking for the antl-Quay Republi-
cans, in discussing the passage Of the
McCarrell bill in the senate. said:
'The McCarrell bill is purely in the
interest OF Senator Quay, ana it was to
be expected that those who are voting
to return him TO the senate would fa-
vor its passage. 1t was hastily drawn
by Senator McCarrell and referred to
the judiciary special committee, OF
which Senator McCarrell Is chairman.
That committee is composed of II mem
bers, nine of whom are now voting for
Mr.. Quay's reelection notwithstand-
ing the five original indictments pend
ing against him. Should this bill be-
come a law 1t will revolutionize the
trial Of criminal cases In our state.
There is little possibility of it being
enacted into law. as it win surely
meet defeat in the house of representa-
tlves.
