save his soul" took the stand yesterday
in the trial Of Mrs. Frances Shaughnessy
for murder before Judge Foster and jury
In General Sessions. Her voice trembled
great deal and she consistently avoided
looking at Mrs. O'Shaughnessy. who sat
regarding her I'm a dispassionate sort of a
way. The Hayes girl was cashier in the
grocery store in which O'Shaughnessy was
employed.
The girl was called by the prosecution.
She said she was eighteen years old, and
that up TO four days before the shooting,
when Mrs. O'Shaughnessy found her walk
Ing away from Healeys grocery store in
the evening with George. she didn't believe
George was married, although she had
been warned three times by Miss Mary
Shanahen, a friend Of the 'Shaughnessys,
that such was the case.
"1n your letters TO George did you ever
mention divorce?" inquired the defence on
oross-examination.
Yes, 1 did" replied the witness ner-
vously
1t was the finding Of the cashiers letters
to her husband. and especially the one in
which the girl urged O'Shaughnessy to
bring about q divorce In some way, that
caused Mrs O'Shaughnessy to shoot her
husband.
WAS that after the defendant told you
she was Georges wife?"
YES But I wrote it because 1 was
afraid Of him"

nation he said he considered that Mrs
OShaughnessy was at present In a doubt
full state of sanity and that she should

trial was finished.
DR.. Mabon also said the defendants deli
cate condition and mental suffering caused
by the shock of finding the girls letters

but that she knew the nature and quality
Of her act when she shot her husband"
That, he said, was not uncommon among
insane persons.
The prosecution introduced as evidence

CLARK STILL EMBARRASSED
Speaker Tries to Explain His
Annexation Speech.
Iron The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Still embarrassed
by the publicity Of his utterances concern
ing the annexation of Canada, which were
construed to have contributed to the de-
feat of the reciprocity agreement, Speak
or Champ Clark reached Washington to-
day and Immediately issued a statement
explaining that he has been misunderstood.
The Speaker says that he has never pro-
posed to take over Canada forcibly. He is
at loss TO understand why he should have
been so grievously misquoted after the
Fremont, Neb, speech.
Speaker Clark also outlined the probable
legislative programme of the approaching
session, which he thinks will be largely de-
voted to the tariff. He does not expect a
repeal of the Sherman law. If the law Is
tempered with at all. says the Speaker. it
will be to strengthen It,
In explaining his views on Canadian an
nexation the Speaker asserted that he still
believes there should be "a union of the
two countries by mutual consent" Any
statement by anybody TO the effect that he
favored forcible annexation, Mr.. Clark de-
nounces as mot only false. but absolutely
preposterous.
81 have expressed the hope Of a union by
mutual consent and for the benefit of
both" he said. "and in answering n ques-
ton from man in the audience at Ere
mont. Neb., 1 did say that L believed nine
tenths of our people would welcome such
a union But part of my answer, that
speaking of the union by mutual consent,
was left out Of the dispatch. The Canadians
are opposed to the union, so that's the end
Of it,"

OF the counties from which the full returns
are yet to be received it is figured ;hat
Madison and Niagara will probably return
a favorable majority, about offsetung an
anticipated majority against it in Sullivan
and Essex counties Kings County is yet
to be heard from. but the indicated ma
jorlty i'm favor of the proposition, from the
returns already canvassed. would indicate
a majority in favor Of from 5000 TO 1880.
The canvass in New York County was
completed yesterday. showing 1888 for the
proposition and S7,7O5 against. The COM
plete New York county vote on the amend
