Want to Hear CohaIans Side.
The members of the committee and
its attorney are bound not To discuss
its proceedings under "A bylaw of the
association. but it was learned from
other sources that the committee in
tends to extend an invitation To JUS
tice Cohalan To- appear before il in The
course Of the inquiry. II was intim1t-
ed that such an invitation had already
been sent To the justice-at least for
him to come down and see Mr.. Crystic
and that the action probably inhu-
enced him in changing his plans with
view TO remaining here to meet Con-
nolly's charges in person.
| The committee is said 10 be particu-
! larly interested i'm the latest develop
ment OF the Connolly Cohalan contro-
vcrsy, where Connolly alleges that the
estoppel affidavit accompanying the
$1,000 which he gave to Cohalan in
| April. 1911, and which Cohalan re-
| turned under pressure from Connollys
lawyer. as Connolly declared two
weeks ago. had been altered without
| his knowledge. Connolly was said TO
! have been closely examined by Mr.
Crystie in this regard yesterday
He repeated the declaration he made
in AFFIDAVIT form that certain words had
been crossed out by his counsel. Albert
| Is. Cruikshank, who delivered the note
and affidavit to Cohalan. at the in
stance OF Cohalan. and that he knew
nothing Of the change until he got back
the original affidavit. The committee
! is said TO be anxious 10 have the testi-
mony of Mr.. Cruikshank on that point
! Cruikshank is expected 10 return from
Kansas City tomorrow. and both he
and Connolly will he asked to appear
together before Mr. Crystic. it Was
said
| Justice COhalan cancelled his res
ervation on the Cedric. which sailed
at noon yesterday, at the last moment
! Nothing was known Of his change of
plans until he left his children aboard
| the liner and came ashore just before
! she sailed He refused 10 say whether
he intended 10 join his children in Ire
land later on. He waived aside all in
quiries relative to the Connolly charges
Children Sail with Their Aunt.
The children--Kathleen, Eileen. Conn,
| Donal. Patrick, Florence and Dcrmot-
were accompanied by Miss Margaret
! OLeary, the justices sister-in-ldw. and
| her brother. Father O'Leary. The
| Cohalans were TO have sailed on May
%. but three of the children were re-
covering from measles at the time and
the trip was postponed. Justice Coha-
Ian was explicit in his statement then
that the sailing was not postponed be-
cause Of the Connolly charges.
Several Of Justice Cohalan's friends
| had gathered at the White Star Line
pier to bid him bon voyage. and ii was
evident the general impression was
! that he intended TO accompany his
/ family. Some of them seemed sur
| prised when he came off the liner at
the last minute. He went aboard with
his children half an hour before the
Cedric sailed and after inspecting their
them on deck until he came ashore.
Some one overheard him tell his pretty
! little daughter Kathleen that il might
be several weeks before he saw them
