ney Duffy then had a tilt. Alderman
Collins interfered and asked that the
mayor and Duffy settle their differences
out of court. Aldermen Fitzpatrick, Col
Inns, Stephens n Dalton urged that the
examination not proceed any further for
the reason no case was proven Alder
man Devine moved that officer Mayhem
be completely e~xonerated; that the
charges be not ~concurred in and that he
be reinstated. He also proceeded in elo-
quent terms to review the case but he
was ruled out of order. The motion was
put and was carried unanimously. Alder
man Devine came up again and said:
Talk about purifying the condition OF
things and then have the mayor appoin
a man on the police force who by his own
admissions is a gambler. 1 am not in
favor of gambling" Sid Devine,
neither do l approve of the mayor APP
pointing Collins to a place on the force
during Mayhew's suspension or at any
other time"
There was another charge, that of I'M
against Mayhem, in not
quitting work when suspended. BY con-
sent of the council he apologized through
his counsel. The meeting adjourned un-

In CarrOll--Evidence of
the Prosecution.
BOTH MEN WERE DRUNK

The O'Donnell-D urkin cutting affair of
Carroll came up for hearing yesterday in
Judge Bo1and's court. County Attorney
Duffy and Assistant Casey conducted the
prosecution, O'Leary and Maiden appear
ing as counsel for the defendant, Durhin.
The prosecuting and principal witness
was Martin J. Durkin the plaintiff. His
age was as. On the night of the trouble
he was cut in three places in the side with
a knife in the lands Of James OiDonnell,
the defendant. At the time Of the cutting
he had on a coat. vest. two shirts and an
under shirt. He showed the cuts in his
coat. They We're four in number. "O'Don-
nell cut NE" said the witness. He told
me he would cut me, We had trouble be
fore the cutting took place but l had no
weapon. When VIZ came together l fell
and O'Donnell fell on top Of me, that was
the time he used the knife. After the
cutting I went to my room where l was
attended by DR.. Spelman and afterwards
removed to the hospital"
On cross examination by Attorney
Maiden he testified that he could not say
what hour the cutting took place. 1t was
some time during the night.
Il had been drinking" said he land so
idu bOIl1ell. Inc cutting was QOQe IN
the dining room. O'Donnell and | quar-
relied in the sitting room and l followed
him into the dining room. Yes. 1 struck
O'Donnel first and then we clincled. We
were both drunk"
DR.. J. F. Spelman testified to being call
ed to Floods house at Carroll Jan. 6, and
there found Durkin with four wounds in
his right side. The wounds We're close to
each other, all in a g roup. The longest
cut was about five inches long but not
deep, the others were an inch long and
probably a half inch deep. Durkin had
on two or three shirts. The wounds We're
made with a sharp instrument. Being
flesh Wounds they would not cause death
unless neglected. On cross examination
he said a wound 2A2 inches deep would
cause death. Several witnesses for the
prosecution were afterwards examined
and with the testimony of the defense it
was shown that both We're drunk when
the cutting occurred. Late Yesterday the
