BRINGING OUT THE STORY OFTHE CRIME , Mrs. Hhoedy'H Domcnnnr In Court i \Vhnl Her \clnliliorn Know About the Woman Her Note Car rier TcMtllll-H , LlNroi.v , Nob. , May in. [ Special to Tin : BKH. | The prevailing question concerning the Shccdy murder trial is thU : Will Mondny McFurlnnd's nttornoy allow him to go on tlio witness st.ind mid , by telling tliovholu truth concerning tlio plot to tmir- iler Hhcody , thereby save hlnnolf from being liungl 'J'lioro l.i n prevailing belief that slnoo tlio confession of tbo negro has boon admitted as testimony that Ills doom Is scaled. Only that portion of the confession Is to bo consid ered as testimony which Incriminates him. It Is generally conceded therefore that this confession in connection with the chain of circumstantial evidence to back It l.s sufllclent to convict the negro and cither hang him or send him to- the penitentiary for llfo. It is believed now that his only chance Is to nsk for immunity , KO on the witness stand nml toll overythlnc concerning Mrs. Sheedy's connertlon with the crime , who , according to the three confessions of McFnrland , was the Instigator of the murder. It Is now three weeks since County Attorney Snell says ho approached Colonel I'nllpot , counsel for Monday McKarland , and asked him if ho would bo willing to put his client on the stand in ease Immunity w.is offered. Colonel Phil- pot tlicn lepllcd : "I will consider the matter. " Sncllsays : "Although three weeks hnvo now passed , Philpot Is still evidently 'consid ering' the matter , as he has not yet given mo his nnswcr. " The prosecuting attorneys foci elated ever the strong testimony they have produced al ready , and when untied today ns to granting Immunity to the negro in ease hu went on thu stand , Mr. Hall remarked : "It l.s not our place to make overtures nnd we do not propose to do any more than we have already done In that lino. If Monday McFnrlnnd's attorneys wish to suvo their client's neck it is their place to como to us nnd not for us to go to them. " Mr. Lambert-son coincided with Mr. Hall In this matter. The usual crowd was in waiting this mornIng - Ing fo1- the doors ot the court room to bo opened long before the tlmo of opening court , and when thu portals wcro finally swung v-pen the crowd rushed in pell mcll , scram bling for front seats. Mrs. Shcedy looked remnrltnlily well today. She was unusually demonstrative , smiled a number of times nnd put her handkerchief to her eyes once as though weeping. This was nt the juncture when Mrs. Dr. Hood , n friend of Mrs. Sheedy's , tostillcd that when Mr. Sheedy was dying he exhibited symptoms of mori bine poisoning. At this point Mrs. Shccdy's three slstors became nffectud nnd gnvo unmlstnkablo signs of weeping. When Mrs. Carpenter nnd Anna Bodenstein , Mrs , Sheedy's domestic , appeared on the witness Bland Mrs. Shcedy cnmo forward , took n sent within six feet of the witness stand nnd cast her jnpgnotlo eyes on them with n world of meaning. Fred Crouso was the first witness called. llo testified that on the evening of the mur derous assault ho wns on P street ubout fifty feet east of Urn ShcoJy rcsldencu. After the shooting Mrs , Sheedy called the witness to go after a priest. Ho did so , Mrs. .mines Hood testilled : "I nm the wife of Jim Hood , thu saloonkeeper. I have often called nt the Sheedy residence and inn on the best of terms with Mrs. Sheedy. t was Introduced to Hurry Wnlstrom by Mrs. Shcedy. She bronchi him to my house ono evening to Introduce him to my daughter. She said Harty was n nice , intelligent young wan. She spoke of him ttcrvards ns hnr llcNo .sweetheart. Shu told mo nt onu tlmo thnt Mr , Sheodv win angry with her because of her friendship with Wulstrom. Later wh"ii Mr Sheedy was Introduced to him 1 e bccnmo conciliated. At ono time Mrs. Shoedv came to my house nnd complained thnt Mr , Sheody had abused her and threat ened to kill hor. She snld tlmt she was afraid to go back. Shu said she hud her trunk packed ready to leave her husbund. This wns In October. At ono time Mrs. Shoedy asked mo what 1 thought of young Wnlstrom. I snld thnt I didn't Ilko his nppoarnneo very much. I thoughtnlso thnt ho talked too much. The night of the attempted shooting I wns with Mr. nnd Mrs. Shccdy.Se wont to the iniisco together. Just before wo saw Air. Shccdy Ins wife said that she felt as though something wns going to happen. When Mrs. Sliced v returned from HufTiuo she complained that she didn't ' Ilko the way she had been re ceived. She got in thu city about 4 o'clcc'.r In tha morning , but her husband did not meet her at the depot , although she hnd tele graphed him when she would arrive. She told mo shu didn't belulvo that ho was very glad to see her. The night of the attempted shooting of Mr. Shcody I was with Mr. nnd Mrs. Sheedy returning from the musee. Just ns wo reached the gnto somebody crouching Insldu the fence shot nt Mr. Shccdy. A moment Inter thu man got up nnd ran south through the ynrd. I could not tell whether thu follow was white or black. A dav or two later I saw Mrs. Sheedy. She sold that nobody could charge Harry Wai- Rtrcra with shooting nl Mr. Shcedy , because ho was ut work that i.lght , Mrs. Shcody volunteered this inforiuntlnn. I nsked her why she said this. She rnplled that somebody might clinrgo Harry with the shooting simply because shu nnd Mr. NVnlstroin happened to bo friends. 1 attended the funeral of Mr. Shoody. At tlio grave Mrs. Sheody nsked me if n certain young man there was Harry nnd I said yos. Mrs. Sheedy wept consul- > "Vt > < Mbly the night her husband died. I did not sea her shed nny te.nrs afterwards , although nhe seemed to feel very badly. As soon as Mr. Shcedy breathed his lust wo took her up- Ktalrs nnd she seemed to weep. Mrs. Shcody and her husband have hnd n good many spnU , but none KO serious us thu ono when sno enmu to my house nml threatened to leave him , Just before Mr. Shecdv died Mr. Courtney remarked thnt Shcedy ncted as though ho hnd an overdose of morphine. Ilu asked to sdj iho box In which the inrdiclno wns that was given him. The box was empty. Mrs. Shivdy snld lha * she did not know what had boon in the box. " Mrs Dr. Ruth N. Wood , mother of the saloon Keeper , testilled : "I llvu diagonally cross the street from tlio Sheedy residence. On the night of the nssnult on Mr , Sheedy I wn $ sitting near the front window. This was about twenty minutes before the assault. All the curtains were up in the Sheedy resi dence so far s I i-oiild see. I remarked about the place looking so cheerful. A few minutes Inter when I lookt-d toward the plnco Iho iiurtnln of the window looking out on the porch w.is down. The time of iho atsnnit I snw Mr. nnd Mrs. Shccdy stannltig in the doorway. 1 was at the Shcedy roMdoi.cj the next day. 1 saw Mr. Sliced v lying In bod. His sytnptons to nio nt the time had tlio appearance of mor ' phine poisoning. I hnd road that the- wound { was Mfeht and therefore I supposed that lie might hnve received an overdose of mor phine. The sumo symptoms might hnve been caused by pressure nl the base of the broln " Mlsi Anna Hoiiensteln testified "I was In tht < employ of Mis.

I saw I the person In the ynrd about It ) o'clock one night after the attempted shooting of Mr. Sheedy I went In nnd told Mrs. Sheedy. She didn't bay anything. I then went upstairs. 1 don't know whether or not Mrs. Sheedy wont out to sco the man. I saw the darkey MeFurlnnd , at the resi dence of MM. 'Sheedy the day after Mr. Sheedy was struck. It was about III o'clock. He snld ho wanted to sco Mrs. Sheedy. No body was witti him. He wanted to como In through thu dining room door , . but was re fused admittance.

" Cross examination : "I don't know whether thu lunches put up wcro ns much for Johnny ICInnsnur as somooudy else or not. Monday McFarliui'l came six or eight times after Mrs. Shocdy returned from HufTnlo to wash her hair. They wore always In the dining room. There was no door between the kitchen nnd dining room. I could pass In and out. I saw Walstrom at Mrs. Sheedy's live times. " He-direct examination "I : was upstairs the night Mr. Sheody was shot at. I heard thu shot , but did not sco the man who tired. It looked Ilko Monday McFarland. " On re-cross examination Strode asked : "Didn't It look like Monday McFarland sim ply because ho looked dark ! " The witness answered : "Ves. " Mrs. Charles Carpenter , wife of the saloonKeeper - Keeper , was the next witness. On taking the stand Mrs. Sheedy gave tier an assuring look and smiled. The witness testilled : ' I have been In the habit of visiting back and forth with Mrs. Sheedy. 1 met Harry Walstrom ono evening nt the Shnedy resi dence. My sister and I remained about ttwnfv mttintitu nnil Hinri titff. \\.fil4f rntn mill Mrs. Shrcdy alone. Mr. Slieedy was not there. Tills was the first tlmo 1 over met Mr. Walstrom.

On the way mv sister ran into Mrs. Shcedy's , told her Mr. Walstrom was with us , and bho . came out and wont over to 1113- homo with us. After remaining at our house awhilu Mr. ' Walstrom accompanied Mrs. Sheedy homo. Ono morning Mrs. Shredy came over to our house and said n friend would be there i soon. In about twenty minutes Mr. Wai- ' " stroin ( Mine. The "two remained in the front parlor together over an hour. Mr. Walstrom and' Mrs. Sheedy met at our house only two times. I saw Wuls trom three time * . I saw his photograph In Mrs , Sheedy's album before I over saw him. She spoke of htm as n friend from Buffalo. 1 never saw Mrs. Sliced } nnd Mr. Walstrom outwalking. I never saw anything wrong In their actions. 1 never saw Monday Mc Farland to know him. 1 never knew that ho heard Mra..Sheedy say anything about her domestic troubles. Mr. and Mrs. Sheedy always acted as though they tliouirlil a great deal of each other. After Mr. Sheedy was hurt Mrs. Sheedy seemed very anxious that her husband should recover. " Court then adjourned until afternoon. Ofllcer Louis Otto was the first witness culled on thu suind in the afternoon. Hu testilled that ho was with Ofllcer Ktnnoy when thu cano was found. Juke Opponhclmcr , : i law student , was the next witness. Hu testified that on the day following the funeral ho went to Mrs. Sheody's bouse. Ho found Mrs. Shoedv , Harry Walstrom and young Dennis Sheody thero. Mrs. Sheedy seemed very light hearted. As she passed the piano she touched that instrument gaily. Charley Carpenter , a saloonkeeper , was the next witness. Ho testified : "I heard the first three shots the night Mr. Shcody tired nt his assailant. I saw the Hashes of the fourth and fifth. I wont over and Mrs. Shccdy asked mo to go to Harry Walstrom's room and tell him that Mr. Shcody was hurt. I did as requested. On returning I went Into Mr. Sheedy's bedroom nnd the wounded man said : " 'I wish you'd go out Into the alley and take thatd d . I don't know what 1 have done to bo assaulted In such u n manner.1 , ' -Mr. Shoedv called me Into his room nnd I asked him if ho couldn't gtvo mo some de scription of the man who assaulted him. Ho said ho couldn't , because It was so dark , " Gus Saunders , the saloonkeeper , was then culled. Ho testilled : "I have known Mrs. Sueeay since 1SS1. I don't know whether sha was married to Sheedy nt that tlmo or not.1 i "When was she married to John Sheedy ? " . Objected to by Philpot. Objection ovorI I ruled. Witness answered : I "I don't ki.ow. " ' "When did she first live with him as his wife ! " Objected to and overruled. Answer : "Either In 1SS1 or 1SS2. They had rooms in the Quick block. I was in that block off and on all the timo. I saw Mr. Shoudy and Mrs. Shoedy going in and out a number of times. " At this juncture Colonel Philpot , counsel for Monday McFarland , raised an objection about anything being said ubout Mrs. Shce dy's character. ' 'Tho question was then asked : "At what liinu did Mr. Shccdy and this woman go to Now Orleansl" I'nllpot objectud us usual and the objection was overruled. The witness answered : "About l S. " . or 1 511. " "Were Mr. Sheedy and this woman man and wlfo at the time they went to Now Or leans I" This raised a roar not onlv from Plulpot but also from Strode and Weir , Strode jumped up In adramatlcmaiinerand dcclurco thnt Lambcrtson was attempting to blacken the character of .Mrs. Sheedy. Lambortson then urosu and decl.ircd that all ho was after was to merely prove what Monday McFurlund had said in his confos-iion that the female defendant was a mistress of John Sheody several years bo fore she ii'dti'-ud him to marry her. The Judge tlntxlly sustained the objection of Phil- pot and ruled out everything In connection with the character of Mrs. Sheody. i'etor Crumpton , n colored barber , was , th'tn cnlitd. llo testified that Monday Mc- 1 Farlaii'l worked In his father's ( Crampton's ) shop ; Ih.itMondny McFurlund always shaved John Sheedy and generally received about 23 cents for so doing ; that Mr. Sheedy was ac 5O customed to como after Monday to shampoo his wlfu's hair. Tne day before the assault on John Sheody Monday McFarland went down to the Shoody residence ut thu request ' of Mr. Shoedy to dress Mrs. Sheedy's huir. Monday stayed there about two hours. The next witness called was Johnny Ivlntis- ner , the lad who roamed with VOUIIK Wnl strom. Although a very Important witness , Johnny snowed a great reluctance lu answer ing questions , and the answers hud. to bo fairly dug out of him. Ho testified as fol lows' : "I am nineteen years old. I worked nt Mr. Shccdy's la ISSi ! and ISS7 for my clothes and board and went to school , I loft there In ISs * . Since then I have occasionally run er rands for them. 1 ihlnk MM.

President nnd Mrs. Harrison and the mem bers of the family who accompanied them on their tour to the south and Pacific slope a month ago yesterday arrived without dem onstration just before I ) o'clock this even ing. There was nothing to mark their re turn from that which follows thu home com ing of any private family. It was concluded finally by the citizens of Washington that any demonstration of n public diameter would bo inappropriate , for the president went away in Ills private capacity and would want , especially after'so long a Jaunt , to re turn In that "way. Any Kind of a recep tion would slnip'.y have kept him so much longer away from his fireside and it was thought that ho and Mrs. Harrison would prefer to go quletlv to the executive mansion with the grand children and other members of the family who were at the Ply mouth railroad station in that way in which thirty-one days ago they bid them God steed ; on their long journey. It was probably fortunate - tunato that no ofTo'rt whatever was made toward a public demonstration for a heavy cold rain began to fall before daylight this morning , nnd it poured down in tlio most dis- ngrecablu torrents all day. The chill and wet went almost , through ono's umbrella nnd clothlncr lllto a knlfo. and a uioro dis heartening surrounding in a wonthor , vny could1 not well have occn 1 mag- nod. Despite tbov rnjn . julte a number. qf the friends of the' travelers : were prcsont when the beautiful train pulled In nnd no sooner did tuctbroats cease to cry out their welcome to tbo president , who stood down on tbo very last step of the first car , and bo bud jumped oft" and picked up tbo little MclCcos than a dozen eagot ; friends rushed upon the front of tbo coach and Into it to wolcpino Mrs , Harrison , Mrs , McKee and the other mem bers of the party. It was n lovely scone , the president carrying the little children up the stops of the car und in to their mamma , papa and grand ma. The boy mid girl were almost wild with delight nnd their little lips ran out their kisses much to the delight of tno onlook ers. In a few minutes the yresident wns circulating among the friends who had come to bid him welcome back. Amongthcm were Attorney General Miller , Secretaries Foster and Proctor. Assistant Secretaries Wlllets and Nettloton , Assistant Attorney General Tynor , Major Prudcn nnd Captain Dlnsmore of the white house force , and a number of ladies. No ono was morocordially received than Colonel George W. Boyd , as sistant general passencer agent of the Pennsylvania railroad , who accompanied the president on the entire trip nnd had charge of the railroad facilities , which the president said were simply perfect. Colonel nnd Mrs. Boyd wore both most heartily received and the president In the warmest and most sincere terms thanked him for his presence and cfllcioney on the entire trip which has been greatly to the credit of tno railroad company which assumed the re sponsibility of taking the president ever nearly tsn thousand miles of territory nnd nc- compllshed it without accident or incident nnd returned in exactly the tlmo scheduled. The president found his working room as clean and bright as a now pin , oven bis desk of antique oak having been varnished , and upon his desk were piled a largo number of bundles of papers neatly packeted , evidently from the various departments , nnd being those needing his first attention. It Is probable that among them were papers re lating to the Italian nfTalr nt New Orleans , tlio Bohring sea dispute and the laud court and court of claims appointments. Ho found also several invitations to attend Decoration day exercises nt various points throughout the country , nnd those ho will give early at tention.

No one attempts to apologize for or sympa thize with Green B , Ruum , jr. , who resigned from the position of assistant chief clerk of tbo pension ofllco today on the request of the acting secretary of the interior , upon thu charge of ofllco bronliiL- and having appropriated $ Tu' of conscience money sent to the pension ofllco. There Is , however. universal sympathy for his father , General Raum , the commissioner of pensions. Most unfair and desperate efforts have been made during the past ten or twelve months by democratic politicians to force General Rnuiil out of the pension ofllce. Hu has been un fortunate In his private business affairs. Ho has not , however , bson shown dishonest in tbo slightest particular , nnd no one believes anything dishonest will ever bo traced to him. Ills friends hnvo stood by him Ilko heroes , and do now , because thov have never believed him In any transaction dishonorable. But tbo mcro thought of the son engaging In ofllco broking nnd participating In other pec cadilloes while the political war was waglig against the father and hazarding his reputa tion makes the father's friends indignant to the extreme. Nothing Is known positively of the charges ngainst youne Raum furtheV than that ho was charged with ofllco broking and after a thorough inqulrx Acting Secre tary Chandler and Second Assistant Secretary Bussey Immediately demanded liU resii-nn- tlon todny and accepted It as soon as ro- tcived. It is feared that the shamu which this affair will oring upon the young man will incline General Ruum to tender his own resignation , although no ono believes the father bad the rcmotoU Idea that the son was engaged In anything questionable.

The programme ) cITorcd for the opening day was a grand one , full of quality , and such equine stars us Kingston , Tenny , Prince Royal , Burlington , Tea Tray , Scnorlta and hosts of others were down as probable starters in the different events. The feature of this grand programme was the Brooklyn .lockoy club handicap , for which the very best horses In train ing wore eligible to start. Kverybody hnd n favorite.

Ho was ut ono time reported to havu gene lame , hut later ho come round nil right nnd race goers pinned their faith to him , for ho had run the Incomparable Snl- vntor to u head in the phenomenal tlmo ot 2:03. : Then there was Burllnton.

All thcso were to meet in the richest Brooklyn handicap over run , and It is no wonder that the blood was sent surging through the veins of every spoil loving muu , woman nnd child In the cast.

( Everyone was full of excitement and the crush In tno betting ring was tremendous. One hundred nnd eighteen iiookinnifcrs were doing business , but oven thuy could not begin to supply tha speculative wants of the crowd. Men who hud never bet -ill ) in their lives offered I liKJ bills to the book manure and for a time everyone seemed to have lost control of themselves. A flora while , however , the money of thu heavy bettors commenced to tell , and It could bo- seen lu what estimation thedilforcnt horsus were huld and tlio field that went to the post was the best thnt over fared a starter In this country. As they went to the post each horse was loudly cheered and they nil looked to bo in the best of shape. Mr. Cnldwell cautioned the boys about being on tholr good behavior , and then thuro was a few moments of intense anxlnty accompanied by u silunco that wui almost painful. When the horses turned and faced Starter Cahlwoll , thu noliio in tlio grand stand sank to a murmur. Hundreds of excited conver sations worohushod , nnd all eyes wcio turned toward the post. There was u breakaway and hearts wont pitapat ever the false iihirm. Another break away and again the horses wont back to the post. Finally they all got together In a close bunch and wull in motion. The star tor. watching them closely , saw thnt ho would never hnvo thorn In as good order again , nuii lliio a htrln of IIro the rod flag flushed throupli the air. Then a thunderous roar swept up from the urand stand. "Tliny'ro oil1' yelled iiO.OOO voices nnd to the music of thu hearse cries the horsus swept down to the grand , stand with thundering hoofs.
