THE SHEA TRIAL.
Attorneys Try Without Avail to Shake
Testimony Given.

Chicago. Dec. 6.-Only two witnesses
were heard today in the Shea trial.
The first was Joseph Schultz. who tes-
tilted yesterday, and was called today
for cross-examnation. The second was
w. Kelly, formerly an officer of the
Coal Transfers Union.
For several hours the attorneys for
the defence made strenuous effort to
impeach the testimony given yesterday
by Schultz but were unable to change
his story. The attorneys attempted
to show that Schultz had enetred plea
Of guilty for a consideration and drew
from him the admission that lie had re-
ceived an overcoat from an employee Of
a detective agency. Schultz denied that
he had been induced to plead guilty
and said he expected to go to the
penitentiary.
Kelly gave evidence regarding viO-
lence committed during the strike. He
declared, in corrorboration of the tcs-
tinony given by Albert Young. that
Shea had made the statement that with
