THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.
Witnesses in Law Q Case Contradics
 Those Gone Before.

The Lawlor will case will certainly invade next week and will conse- uuently disturb the arrangements for business in the superior court It is dragging along very slowly, greatly to the annoy ance of many lawyers who have business to be disposed at this term Only a few of the witnesses for the contestant Christopher Lawlor, brother of Father Lawlor have so far been ex- amined. It was late yesterday after noon when Christopher Lawlor left the stand. Under cross--examinatton by MT. Williams he said the greatest ar lection existed between him and Fath- CT Lawlor, yet, though on his own state ments he knew Father Lawlor was not treated properly he did not wish to in terfere. Asked why, he said he did not wish to get into court. that he was once there before and that was enough for him. He had had enough of law. He said that on the occasion of his last visit to Father LawIor's house. the time he was assaulted by Joseph Lawlor. the latter told him it was against the doctors orders to allow anyone to see Father Lawlor, never theIess he insisted on going in. When Joseph Lawlor struck him, he seized him by the feet and pulled him down stairs. He felt paid for that visit. He did not see any servant in Father Lawlor's room and he did not know that Mrs Lawlor was sick at the time. r %1I1 1,sx t, the Cooke street house for him, and that Martin McEvoy would collect the rent. He did not think that this was rather strange thing to say in view of Father Lawlor telling him that he would buy the house for him. He did not know much about Father Lawlor during the last five years of his life.
 John J. Dawson, furniture dealer, then took the stand. He testified that Father Lawlor told him he would buy the Cooke street house for Christopher. That Christopher was a good brother to him while he was in college, and that he had worked hard all his life, and that as member of the family he wanted to take him off the farm and give him this house. Father Lawlor thought Christopher would do better us he met Father Lawlor again and he told him that the Cooke street house was for rent because he could not get along with Christopher.
 Witness knew Father Lawlor to be a Snrewd business man. and he conSid- cred he had a clear head all the time. He wanted witness to rent a store in his South Main street property and he would give him q good start.
 Annie Sheehan was a servant in Father Lawlor's house on North Main street for about six weeks. She never saw Christopher Lawlor until few days before this case began when he called at her home and told her she would have to come to court. She con- sidered Father Law1or was a delicate man, and she and Mrs Lawlor took care of the house. Mary Sheehan. sister of the previous witness, was a servant there from July, 1896, to the spring of 1898. She was there when Mrs Lawlor left and when she return cd. There was no disturbance in the house the day Of her return. She was not living there when the McEvoy boys left.
 At this point court adjourned,
 Christopher Lawlor was put on the stand a few minutes this morning when court opened. He said he did not have picture of Father LawIor hanging in the Cooke street house. He was sure of that and it seemed ,to surprise MT Williams, who thereupo1l produced an old fashioned photoe1.anh. Witness said he would swear that he had a picture like it: could not say if they were the same, but he would sa vi that he did not throw it in the fire place when leaving the Cooke street house.
 Mary Sheehan then resumed her story, which was interrupted last evening by court adjourning. While she was i'll the house Father Lawlor was sick only once and then with an ordinary cold. She could not say why Mss Lawlor left the house. She was away two weeks, but she thought Mrs LaWlor called once or twice during that time. Never heard an angry con yersatlon Ill the house. and there were no cross words the day Mrs Lawloi. returned and broke the light of gjass In the back door. Witness alvays locked that door while up stairs. Mrs Lagvlor told her she had knocked ar IiiuL NOoA dlA, DClicFiuS EIleFo was no one in the house. she entered Witness was not discharged from the house. On the contrary, when leaving, Mrs Lawlor told her she could return in day or two if she cared to. She did not return, however, for day or two after she went to work for the McEvoy boys
 On cross examination witness said that on an occasion of Martin Mo- Eyoy's being i'll, Father Lawlor insist ed he should be removed to his house He frequently said he thought good deal of Frank and Martin McEvoy, that the latter was taking good care of the property and he would see that he would not lose anything by 1t and
