: I'VE simply want to prove by Bishop

grounds for the fears he expressed to
the police.
Vigorous objection was made to Bishop

testimony could be admitted. Attorney
Richard Evans, one of the counsel for

that the court would not permit the
defense to offer hearsay evidence to

Bryan, is poised, calm and deliberate:
Roosevelt is quick. spasmodic, Jerky

seems to be intellectual, the former
Republican leader seems to be emo
tional.
BY all odds, Bryan is the dominat-
ing figure in the convention. His
rooms on the ninth floor of the Belve-

FINDS HUSBAND
DEAD. SUICIDE BY GAS

Death, self-inficted, has ended the
romanc of william McInnerney, of
491 South Eighteenth street.
About six years ago McInerney,
then a lad of 10, Joined the navy and
Immediately became one of the most
popular boys among the enlisted men
in the Eastern squadron. He was
held by his officers as being a odel
recruit, and many of them offered
him inducements if he would reenlist
when his term expired.
A strong friendship sprang up be-
tween McInerney and four brothers
by the name of La Mond. During
the three years enlistment the five
were always together, whether on
lane or. shore. Condolences were ex-
changed. In September, 1908, the five
went to their home on a furlough,
and later the LaMond brothers in
vited William to their home. Here
he met their sister, Florence.
According to observers, it was n
case of love at first light. The court
ship lasted ten days and just before
the men returned to their ship Nc
Inerney and Florence La Mond
slipped away from the farewell party
that was being given in their honor
and were married in a nearby
church.
McInerney returned to his ship
and served out the enlisted term,
which ended the following January.
A home was established by Mr.. and
Mrs. McInerney at 491 South Eigh-
teenth street and the couple settled
down to a happy existence. Work
was procured by McInerney as "a
motorman on the Plank road line
and the pair led a model life.
The past week McInnerney had
complained of feeling queerly. Chris
La Mond, one of his brothers-in-laW,
accompanied him to a doctor but his
cae was mystifying. Last
day McInnerney participated in a
baseball game between the Plank
road team and a nine from the
Passaic Valley and on Friday he
accompanied his mates on an outing
to South Beach.
Yesterday he left home for MS
work, promising to meet his wife at
her mothers home. AS the evening
passed by Mrs. McInerney became
worried about his non-appearance
and hurried home.
Lying on a couch in his bedroom
lay her husband, a tube from the gas
let attached 40 his mouth. The
screams of the young wife

McInerney was past help. Burial Will
be at Paramount Cemtery on Friday
afternoon.
