was named as devisee. and the witness
ana Muff1y also signed it as witnesses.
Mr.. Muffly drew up the wills and asked

TO MIN that they were joint wills, and
the Quinn brothers acquiesced in the
statement.

at St Peters mission, in Cascade coun-
ty, but lived in Butte on May IS, 1897,
the date of Charles Quinns death. The
father said he had a conversation with
Quinn on that day or the day before in

Charged With Bribing.

chicago June Establishments charging
Dan Coughlin and his bartender, William
Armstrong, with bribery, were returned
to-day. Coughlin's bond on two charges
is liked at $15,000 while Armstrong; is
$1,000. Both men declared their ability to
secure good bondsmen. The bench war
rants which were issued at first for the
two alleged jury hribers were dismissed
Coughlin served some years in prison for
completely in the murder of Dr. Croniu,
but was acquitted on second trial. The
indictment against Coughlin individuaIv
alleges that on May Is he sought to cor
rupt a certain juror. John f. Taylor, by
Offering him bride of 5000. Taylor was
then serving on a jury in the case of
John Carbine VS.. the Illinois Central rail-
road. 1t is thought probable that when
the case comes to trial members of the
crew Of the train, on which Coughlin and
o keefe. chief of the railroad secret SER
vice rode, will be put on the stand.

yards he met Connors and exclaiming,
You are another of the clique who
think because / live in zMahony street
l keep a - house." he gave Con-
nors a blow in the face and went on.
When told yesterday that Currie was
dead, Hesley did not appear very great
ly concerned. He expressed regret
that the blow should have resulted IA
tally, but was disposed to take his mis-
fortune phiossophically and said lie
did not think he had not anything he
was not justified in doing, or anything
more than any other man might be eX-
pected to do when another came into
his home and into his very presence
with so evident an intention to def1ie
his family. Hesley's family consists Of
his wife a 17-year-old boy and two
girls aged Is and s years. The elder
girl called at the Jail to see her rather
yesterday. She seemed greatly affect
ed over his situation and took it TO
heart much more than he himself ap-
peared to.
Mrs Hesley, when seen yesterday, did
not manifest any great amount of con-
Germ. She was mildly surprised at be-
ing told of Currie's death, but she did
not allow herself to be disturbed over
the thought of her husband being
charged with murder. Instead she spoke
of her husband as "a jealous old brute,
and was disposed to evince the pleasure
the thought evidently gave her, that
she had found favor in another mans
eyes, for she told of Currie's fatal wink
with manifest relish. In appearance
the woman is anything but attractive,
and Currie could not have been much
of connoisseur to have become smit-
ten with her. She is short fat, coarse
and ugly, and sports a number of curl
ing hirsute appendages on her chin
which do not go very far toward CIV
ing her coquettish appearance.
For the purposes of the trial of Hes
ley, Coroner Julien, at the request of
the county attorney, ordered an au-
topsy on the deceased yesterday, which
was performed by Drs Alexander and
Sheeran, and an inquest will be held
this evening at Duggan's undertaking
rooms, where the body of Currie was
taken after death.
Currie was about 30 years of age and
unmarried. He had lived here num-
Der of years and worked in the diff
ferent mines his most recent employ
ment being at the Diamond. He was
brother of the Currie who, with two
other miners, was drowned in the Glen
garry mine some years ago. His only
known relatives who survive him are
brother, James, living at Rock Springs,
Wyo. and two sisters living at Clelor,
England. his native place.
The following telegram was received
by Undertaken Duggan last evening:
Rock Springs, Wyo., June 22.-Larry
Duggan, Butte: Impossible to come.
Bury beside brother. Please write full
particulars. JAMES CURRIE."

Graphophone as n Witness.

San Francisco, June 22.-In Police
Judge Conlan's court to-day a graphic
phone was used to present a statement
made by George Frederick Trueworthy,
young man accused of numbering one
Landsman during a street fight some
time ago. The statement was made by
Trueworthy in the presence of wit
nesses and was also taken down by a
stenographer The attorneys for the
defense argued against admitting the
talking machine but the court ordered
otherwise and the statement issued
from the trumpet in clear tones. The
statement was a long one, but every
word was understood by the listeners.
This is believed to be the first instance
in which a recording machine of this
character has been used in a criminal
case

NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Strikers Unanimously Reject Proposition
of Electric CompanY.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 22.--The hope of
a settlement of the street railway strike
was shattered tonight, when the
strikers, at a meeting, rejected by an
unanimous vote the propositions SUBJ
mitted by the company to the special
committee of the city council and to
which the strikers committee agreed
this afternoon. The proposition of the
company states that 1T is ready and
willing to take back into its employ
such of its employees as it's business de-
mands, aggregating at the present
time so per cent. of such employees, ex-
cepting always, those that have COM
mitted unlawful acts against the COM
pany, its property or employees during
the present strike.
1t was generally believed, after the
conference of the representa- of the
company and the committee of the
strikers was concluded, that the end of
the strike would come tomorrow morn
ing, and the action of the strikers to-
night came as a surprise.
