#. Cosgrove for causing the death ol
Daniel McAuliffe. One of the very in
terested spectators is Mr.. Drummond
Of New York, head of the detective
agency by whom .Cosgrove was en-
ployed and sent to this city. Daniel
Davis, one Of the commemorative wit
ness, failed to appear yesterday and
an attachment was issued for him.
DR.. j. j. Roberts was the first wit
ness called yesterday. He examined
the leg after it was amputated and
gave 1t as his opinion that it had been
properly treated. DR.. Claude w.
Walker, senior house surgeon at the
Lackawanna hospital last December,
testified to the condition of McAuliffe
when he came there and the treatment
he received. His testimony was largely
the same as that of Drs. Wilson and
Connell
John Dunleavy, who was shot in the
wrist during the trouble outside Of
Morans on December Q. testified that
he was in Moran's saloon when Co.'S
grove came in. He was accompanied
by Frank Kofczenski and Frank Kins-
ley. The time was between noon and
o'clock. and in the room We're about
thirty persons. The officers walked up
to the stove and began to warm them
selves, at the same time scrutinizing
the features Of those about them. Dun
leavy said that Kofczenski went up to
William Maghran, grasped him by the
coat collar and dragged him to the door.
The witness then went out on the porch
and most of the other occupants fol-
lowed. Maghran by this time was stand
ing alone on the sidewalk and the three
officers were conversing on the corner.
CROWD SCATTERED.
When they got outside the crowd be-
gan to scatter. The witness was pushed
off the porch by those behind him, and
went around to the Sixteenth street
side of the building when he saw Kins-
ley pointing a pistol at him. He put
up his hand, and as he did so, Kinsley
fired. The ball struck him on the back
OF the wrist of his right hand. He
turned around and saw CosgrOve firing
at McAuliffe who was on the opposite
side of the street from the hotel. His
back was turned to CosgrOve who was
in the roadway and he was moving
away from him. After Cosgrove fired
he heard McAuliffc say he was shot.
He denied that he attacked the officers
or saw anybody else do so. The only
shots fired he said were by the Off
GERS.
Martin Carroll of Twenty-second
street, was in Moran's hotel when Cos
grove and his two companions entered.
They walked up to the stove and stood
there for a few minutes and then Went
to the corner of the bar where William
Maghran and several other men were
Kofezenski grabbed Magh-
ran and most Of the crowd rushed out
of the building after them and a mo-
ment later he heard shots fired. Fe
had been sitting at table up to that
time, but when he heard the shots he
went to the door but could not get out
on account of the crowd in the door
and he returned and went back to the
table he had left and again sat down.
he heard about eight shots
fired in the space of minute. He re-
mained sitting at the table for ten
or fifteen minutes and then went home.
Richard Tudor andaRichard Jones gave
similar testimony.
MoRAN's TESTIMONY.
Dominick Moran, the proprietor OF
the hotel inside of which the shooting
occurred. said that on Dec. about 1890
or 12.45 p. m. there was a big crowd in
The place and himself and his wife
were behind the bar waiting upon them.
rosgrove and the other two men came
n and stood with their backs to the
stove. At the end of the bar stood Will
lam Maghran, John McDonough and
John Dacey shaking dice. Kingsley
pointed to Maghran and kofcZenski
vent up to him, showed paper and
hen grabbed him and started to pull
him toward the door. One of the other
men held the door open and the three
men and Maghran passed out of the
'oom almost at the same time.
The crowd surged out after them and |
he witness, fearing there would be
rouble, told his wife to take club |
rom behind the bar and keep the |
rowd out. She told HIM afterwards
hat some one took it away from her. |
some three shots We're fired before he |
;ot out and he saw McAuliffe going |
vest toward Seventeenth street when |
'osgrove pointed his revolver and shot.
lie saw one of McAuliffe's legs give
way and heard him cry that he was
hot McAuliffe then turned and start
d up toward Fifteenth street where his
married sister lives. Altogether he
hought about fifteen shots were fired.
On cross examination it developed
hat Moran's testimony differed in many
aspects from that which he gave at
he habeas corpus proceedings to secure
he release of Cosgrove Immediately af-
er his arrest. He saw no one lay Vio-
ent hands on either CosgrOve, kinsley
nd Kofczenski. He saw the officers
'ackng up toward Fifteenth street
thile the shooting was going on but
i'd not see any person in the crowd
make demonstration against them.
WHAT DAVIS SAW.
Henry Davis was in Moran's saloon
n that day. He was standing at the
ar with Evan Evans and James Nc
,icholls when the three officers came

aw Kofczenski read paper to men

,ofczenski take man by the lapel
I his coat and start for the door. They
ad a clear road, there being nobody
etween the men at the end of the bar
nd the door. After the officers and the
zen at the end of the bar got outside
he crowd in the bar room rushed after
hem. 1t seemed to him to be ten min
tes after the crowd went out before
ne first shot was fired.
Evan went into an inside room
hen the trouble began. He heard
rom 20 to 25 shots fired.
David Holvey was standing at the
ar in Moran's place when the officers
