DECLARES O'LEARY
Lyons Bought Tickets for St.
Louis, He Tells Federal
Court
New York. June 81.


jeremiah O'Leary, keen of mind, on
the witness stand in the Federal District
Court yesterday swore that his brother,
John ]. OLeary, who is on trial charged
with aiding the Irish agitator to escape
justice, had nothing to do with his
fightito avoid trial.
II cannot make it too emphatic that
neither my brother John nor any mem-
ber Of my family knew that was going
to run away" jeremiah said. In fact,
I did not decide not to return until Ar
thur Lyons and had left st. Louis. I
had no notion when left New York Of
not returning"
The witness occupied the stand the
entire day. His cross-examination will
continue this morning. Frequently in
his testimony he denounced the news
papers for what he called unfair treat
ment in the last three years.
OT.eary testified that before his de-
parture for the Pacific coast he had re-
ceived letter from Henry A.'Wise. then
his counsel, stating Mr.. Wise would
withdraws, as the Government would
persecute him (wise) if he tried the
case.
OLeary then burst into general
denunciation of the bar, saying its
members true Americanism had been
destroyed by the hysterical following
Of a false public opinion and they had
become obsessed with the opinion that
their regulations would suffer If they
appeared in his defense. He offered

b. Barnes $1,000 to get him an sttor-
ney with the reputation Of De Lancey
Nicou or II. Snowden Marshall. who
are to prosecute him.
OLeary contradicted much of the
evidence given by Arthur l.. Lyons,
the chief Government witness. who is
also under indictment with John
OLeary. He said that John did not
bid him farewell outside of the Pennsyl-
yania Station on the morning of May
7, ncr did his brother buy tickets to
