JULY.
lCopyriEht, IslAl
Now creepeth in the young July
In manner shy.
Times step grows languid, and the mier
OF Nature Is serene
As though she meant a while to cease
Her onward march. and rest in peace;
To spend her hours
In fragrant bowers.
And dreaming dreams
BY cooling streams.
While happy birds the whole day long
Pour forth their song
To WOO her unto rest. and keep
Their vigil while she lies asleep.
So doth fair Nature In July.
And by the token so will
II so IL be
Chance comes TO me.

Cleary that he and Anna were mar

Cleary gave evidences Of deep emo
ton: AS the girl reached his side.
he jumped to his feet and reached to
take her into his arms.
The girl shrank from him, but the
father seized her in a firm embrace
and kissed her repeatedly. When the
girl was led trembling to the stand,
Cleary collapsed, falling over the
counsel table. He recovered, and
turned his eyes to Anna, but she did
not return his gaze.
Widow Tcstifles.
Few questions We're asked the wi
dow. She testified that Newman was
the father Of her child. and she had
not told her father and mother Of
their marriage. which occurred on the
night of July IS. It was previously
testified that Cleary learned on July
22 that Anna was to become a motn-
er, and up to the time he shot New
man, did not know he was his SON
in-law.
When cleary was taken back to his
cell, he, collapsed and for on hour
was under a physicians care. He re-
covered sufficiently, however, to take
the stand in his own behalf at the
night session. His daughter was TAX
en- to Haverstraw to the home of her
grandmother.
Cleary Weighs Words.
Cleary, in testifying, chose his
words with apparent care, and as he
told how he was affected by the news
Of his daughters condition, he gave
evidence OF deep emotion. Mrs. Cleary
listened with an anxious air, while
she constantly applied handkerchief
to her eyes.
Cleary said he had no distinct rec
objection Of events after he left his
house a few hours after he received
the report. He objected to Newman
on account of his family. he. said.
Experts Called.
The defense closed by calling DR.,
Floyd Gregg Of Buffalo, as an allen.
list expert. He declared the news
given to Cleary about his daughter
was such shock that it produced
what he termed sub-conecious or
twilight state. He said such action
could be temporarS or permanent,
and one suffering from it would be
apt to commit an act Of violence.
The state called iii rebuttal as its
expert alienist, DR.. Carlos F. McDon-
aid Of New York city. DR.. McDon-
AID declared in his opinion Cleary
was sane at the time Of the Staying.
This closed the case for the state.
The attorneys will sum up. tomor-
row morning, and 1t Is expected the
case will be given to the jury by noon.
