Yesterday morning the trial of thoB. te
M. railroad against E. 15. Coona was
taken up fiom its continuance a week
ago. TIIO piosccution resumcdits sideof
tlio case from where it was broken oil'
and Mr. Draiich , of the depot ticket of
fice , was the first witness called. On ac
count of the largo number of spectators
and interested listeners to the evidence
tlio place of hearing was adjourned from
the county judge's olllco to tlie distriel
court room.whore . the healing was heard
through the day. Mr. Branch's testimony
was clear and concise and .showed that ho
know just whal ho was talking about and
that he had only the straight truth to tell.
Mr. Branch showed that ho was just as
bright as the attorney for the defense
when ho was being submitted to a rigid
cross-e\ainination that was conducted forever
over an hour with all the ueiimcn the at
torney could command. In a part ot this
examination the attorney evidently ob
tained a little more than ho expected and
the spectators rather enjoyed the self-
defense that Mr. Branch maintained.
The testimony of this witness was in
regard to the manner in which time
cheeks were paid from his olllco and the
particulars in regard to the time and way
in which the defendant , Mr. Coons ,
obtained cash on time chceLs especially
those iu evidence which were increased
from the ono presented at the opening of
the case to five when court adjourned to
dinner. Immediately after the testimony
of Mr. Branch was taken Division Super
intendent Thompson was called to the
Btand and his testimony was in regard to
the manner in which time checks origin
ated , the course they took before reaching
pHsmi'iit and who had access and trans
acted the business in regard to thorn in
his ollice. Mr. Coons being at the time
the stated irregularities oc-cmrod head
cleik in Mr. Thompson's olllcu made the
evidence oftho business relations of Mr.
Coons to the olhco itself ot interest.
There was much objecting and points for
and against laiscd in connection with the
hearing of all the evidence jostcrday

and organucd by the election of Mr.
Goodrich as chairman. Subpunias were
issued fora number of witnesses and an
adjournment taken until 3 o'clock. Al
that hour the comniitlco mot for the in
vcstigation. The first witness called was
Mr. Charles Theiman , who made a
straightforward statomonl , occupying
considerable time. Ho told how Mr.
Motlatl and wife had como to live with
him and his family. On the Saturday
when Moll'att become so violently ill , the
witness went to Mollatl's room at Mrs.
Molfatt'fi request , and was assaulted bj
Mollatl and kiioeKed down. Ho tried to
defend himself and attempted to run
when ho was struck from behind and
kuoeked insnnsiblo. When ho had re
covered ho saw Mollatl trying to choke
Mrs , Thieman. Ilo ran for help , and
when ho came back ho saw Moll'att throw
a man named \ \ ilson from the door. At
this time Ollicers Riley , Fahoy and
Godola came along , but Moflatl had be
come rational , and. two of the pllicors
wont away , leaving Mr , Fahoy. "Then , "
said the witnes , "I sent for Dr , Hanehotf ,
but liu refused tooomo , but said if Mol
fatt got worse to double the tloso. Mr.
Fahoy stayel in thu room with Moffult ,
and 'oven'tliing _ was quint for iu\hilo
Moll'att asked Fahoy to tell mo ( hat ho
was sorry for what ho had done lu
about an hour Moll'art became boisterous
and assaulted Falioy.tand finally knocked
the ollicor down and. jiscd him up badly.
It was all I could'dos lo keep the men
from upsetting the lamp and
tlio stoves. Moflatt would quiet
down once and awlnlo and would then
break out again. ( Things went this ) way
until 1 o'clock in the morning , The olli-
ccr was woin out and finally asked mo
what we should do- ! thought we had
butter take Motlutttotho police station.
Wo sent out to the neighbors for help but
none of them would come to our help as
the report had got out that Mofl'at had
the typhoid lover Wo sent for a wagon
and I took all the bed clothes wo had and
wrapped Motlatl up and took him to the
police station. I went there about G
o'clock and found Moltatt in good c.ue
and resting comfortable. I saw him af-
torwurda at the hospital wheie he was
tied to an iron bedstead and the
nurse could hardly keep him down
then. The cuts on Moflatt's
head were received in his sculllo witli
Fahoy in falling against the beds and
lounges in the room. The policeman diil
not strike him and no one struck him in
ni } house. Ollicer Fnhoy staid at the

anything while ho was in the house He
could not have done more than he dia to
make it comfortable for Moduli , He
took more punimoling from Moil'att than
any average man would.
Mr. Thicman's trstimony was given in
a perfectly straight-forwaul maniiei and
was not changed iu the ! oal by the many
questions put to him by the committee.
Dr. llaneliett was next called. Ho gave
his story of how lie came to get charge
of the case. He said Moll'att was very
low with typhoid fever \yhcn ho took the
paso. This was three nights before tlio
sick man was taken in charge by the po
lice authorities , and about the tenth
day of the fever. He said"I called
last on the patient on Saturday and found
the patient in an improved condition and
in a fair way to recover. Was called
about II o'clock on Saturday nignt by a
messenger and told that MolTatt was m a
worse condition. Was sick and could
not go , and told the messenger to in
crease the doses , and if necessary to call
in a physician living near by. Went
down before breakfast Sunday morning
and found thai the patient had boon re
moved to the j of. Mrs. Moll'att was sick
and in a dohc.ito condition. She refused
to stay in the house longer , but did not
say that she was not treated nropotly by
the Thicman family. Mrs Thicman's
face was bruised and she said
she had received it in n
struggle to control Mollat. Mr. Modal
felt that her husband had been treated in
n brutal niannur , Mr. Allen , who nursed
Mortal dining his illness , stated that the
removal was uncalled for. Wont then to
the police station and found Mollat lying
on the lloor of the jail , not behind the
bars. Ho was lying on two ( milts with
two quill.s over him and a pillow under
Ins head. This was about 0 o'clock. The
jailor did all ho could to fill all orders
and did everything for Moffat's comfort.
There was a fire m the stove but it. was
burning low , The room wa too cold for
the patient , and the jailor had it built in )
again. Moflal's hands were not tied.
Ills feet were tied with an old red hand-
korcliitif and were cold. Ho was rational
and said that ho had had another spell
ami < ! hl not know what had taken nlaoe.
Asked him if ho had buon abused , and he
sail ] he did not remember what had hap
pened. I untied his feet , which
were tied tightly , so tight that
the circulation wastopped. . Molfatt did
not want mo to untie his feel as ho said
ho might have another spell and hurt
somebody St-iid there until 1 called a
carriage and look the patient to the hos
pital and secured his board there on my
own account. Gave film a drink of null ;
and some brandy and ho drank it with a
relish. His condition when 1 found him
at the jail was much than when 1 left
him , llis face and head wcie cut and his
wounds hail not boon dressed when L
found him , 1 cleaned the wounds and
put healing medicines upon them , The
wound on the head was a sovoio one. It
was a ragged nound , such as might have
boon caused by a fall against a stove or
bed-post or from : i blow with a rough
shovel , The wound was not necessarily
fatal but under the circumstances niiirht
boon. 1 will say that tint wounds ho re
ceived , whether selMallictod or received
from others , caused his death. While
Moll'att was in the hospital ho at
limes became violent ami was tied to his
bed by loose bauds , The only conversa
tion fluid with the marshal was when ho
came and 1 told him wo had a very sick
man in the jail and ho did all ho could
for the patient's condition. Ho helped ,
himself , to put the man in the carnage
and neat two ollicers to help carry the
patient into thu hospital. I think the
man would have recovered if ho had not
been moved from -Mr. ' 1 lileman's house.
Thu marshal and Dolicemcn treated the
man kindly after ho was at tiio jail
Mrs. Tluoinan was called and recited
the history of the case substantially the
same as she did before the coroner's jury.
"Dr. Jlanchctt , " she said , "never told mo
the man had the typhoid fever. Allen
did not stay with Moflatt but ono night.
Mrs. Mofl'utt did nothing for her husband ,
but would rui ) from the room overv timn
ho woulu inako a move , It was about U
o'elopk on Saturday afternoon when
Moil'att became so violent. He assaulK-d
Mr. Thicman and knocked him down
and then took after me und drove me
