AFTER TESTIMONY
BY THE DEFENDANT
A Dramatic Scene When
Cleary's Daughter En-
tered Court

New York, Dec. l9.--The defense am
the prosecution were allowed two hour
each to sum up in the trial OF William
". Cleary, former city clerk of Haver
straw, who is charged with numbering
his son-in law, Eugene NJ. Newman. Su
preme Court Justice Morschauser an
nounced that he would deliver the charge
to the jury this afternoon and an early
verdict is expected.
Cleary and his daughter, Mrs. New
man, widow of the slain young man, were
iamong the last witnesses examined
Gowned in black, except for white shirt
waist and white feather in her hat, the
! girl of 20 was assisted toward the wit
! ness chair by her uncle. She clung to
her relative as she walked slowly across
| the room from the rear door, through
which she had entered, as if she dreaded
the coming ordeal.
Soon she reached the spot where her
father was seated. He had not seen her
since July D. That was the day before
Newman was shot as he was waiting to
tell Cleary that he and Anna were mar
ried
As his daughter neared him Cleary,
who had maintained a stolid air through
out the trial, gave evidence of deep emo
ton His hands twitched convulsiyely
and as the girl reached his side, he
jumped to his feet and reached out to
grasp her in his arms.
The girl shrank away from him at
first but her father would not be re-
PEELED.
He seized her with firm embrace ana
kissed her repeatedly. Finally her uncle
separated father and daughter and she
was led trembling to the stand Cleary
meanwhile after loosng his embrace of
his daughter, fell over on the counsel ia
Bile apparently in a state Of complete
He recovered quickly, however, and
turned his eyes upon Anna. She did not
return his gaze and when she had fn-
ished her testimony and again passed BY
where her father sat she made no re-
sponse whatever as he reached out ana
patted her hand.
Few questions were asked the Young
widow. The defence, whose witness she
was, contented itself with getting her to
say that Newman was the father of her /
,hild and that she had not told her fa. 1
.her or her mother Of her marriage.
Cleary in testifying chose his words 4
with apperent care. As he told how n,
vas affected by the news OF his daugh- !
er's condition. he gave evidence OF deep I
,motion. Mrs. Cleary listened with anx-
ous air, while she constantly applied
20 her ewes.
Cleary said he had no distinct recollec- \
ion of events after he left his house a
ew hours after he received the report
Ie objected to Newman on account Of
