' MORE RxPERT TESTIMONY. It Is Again Assorted on the \Vltncss Stand That Young Shaun Did Not Die of . .Mercurial PoisOning—The Dis- emboWeling Incldent. TRENTON, Aug. 17.—Mrs. Shaun testified in her own behalf today and made a good impression in the crowded courtroom: Her son, she said, expected to die. He had a horror of embalrning and ice about the body and gave directions how his re- mains should be treated. He wanted to beukept longer than his father was when the latter died, and he asked his mother to remain in the room with him after his death and until he should be removed. For that reason, Mrs. «Shaun said, she staid in the room with the body. She was alOne with John when he expired- The bOy called her at 4 O’clock in the morningL saying: - “Momma, mamma, I’m going home.” She reached his bedside and put her arms around him. and then he died. ‘Mrs. Shaun wept a little and then continued her recital. Mrs. Shaun was now ques- tioned concerning the three men who she charges mutilated her son’s remains. Her test imony was as follows The Mutilation. She was aroused by the ringing of door- bell between 1 and 3 in the morning. When she opened the door, three men stepped inside. They wore stormcoats and . slouch huts. They inquired if that as a young man dead in the house. She said there 1'. as, and one of them asked if they could see the body. She told them no, ob- ‘ jecting on the ground that the hour was late and that her daughter was asleep in the room where the body lay. The spokesman of the party said they' in- tended to see the body, and he pushed her ' roughly aside. TV. 0 of the men then passed quickly upstairs. She attempted to fol- low them, but was detained by a man who remaineddowu stairs. She demanded to know what this outrage meant, and one of the trio said, “You’ll find out.” In a little while the two men who went 7 up stairs came down, and all three left the house. The occurrence dazed her, and she did not cry out. After the departure of the three men she went up stairs and thought she detected a blood spot on the canopy over the corpse. Mrs. Shaun then aroused Vanselous, a boarder, and he do- teoted what had been done. Boats 11 Graveyard Robbery. The witness next described the waking of her family and how she told them of the affair. Whether to send for outside persons or not she did not know. The family spent the hours until daylight in crying, talking and praying. She con- cluded finally that the autopsy which the insurance agent threatened had been per- formed. At 6 o’clock she sent for Dr. Bergen the family physician. Frank Borden was present when he arrived, and the doctor said to him. “\Vell, Frank, this beats a graveyard robbery. The men who did this will talk ' of it a long time—how they made the autopsy without waking the girl up who was in the room with the remains.” ‘he witness denied that she procured the disembowelment of her son or did it her- self. She swore further that she had no reason for wishing it to be done. Under cross examination the witness said that it was astormy night when the three men come, but she did not nOtice that their ‘ clothes dripped water 0; that their shoes were muddy. At 6 o’clock 1n the morning it was noticed that there were tracks in the . hall, and her daughter, Mrs. Kelly, wiped them out. Although the man who pushed her sev- V oral times used her roughly, she made no outcry. In fact, she uttered not a word. The man who pushed her threw her against- the wall and hurt her left arm. She was so dazed, frightened and grief stricken that she thought she must have become par- tially unconscious. Further than this she could give no reason why she raised no alarm. Did Not Die of“ Poison. Rev. Albert T. Baker, rector of an Epis. copal church in PrincetOn,'testifled that during Johns illness he held religious serv- ices in his room frequently and that Mrs. Shaun always appeared to be reverent and interested. ' Dr. David Warrrian of Trenton testified that in his opinion the operation performed by County Physician Cantwell was im- properly conducted, because he neglected to look for disease as well as poison. He did not obey the rules laid down‘ for such investigations. ' Witness said from the ev- idence regarding John’s symptoms "he could not say of what diseasehe died. According to witness young Shaun did . not die of mercurial poisoning. His symp-' toms of such pOisoning Were not strong ‘ enough to induce the belief that he had been killed with corrosive sublimate. As- suming that Shaun had gastritis, his med-‘ : _ ical treatment was improper.

For three days the surviving pigeon with untiring energy searched the country far and near for its mate, but in vain.

Mr. Tracey (Dem., N. Y.) suggested that the gentleman could obtain the interma- tion by addressing a note to the secretary, but he made no objection, and the resolu- tion was adopted. .’; The silver debate was then resumed, Mr. McCall (Rep., Muss. ) speaking in fa- vor of repeal. allism and monometallism were at issue, 1 but the cause of bimetallism was repre- : sented by the friends of repeal. ‘. tinuance of the policy of buying silver would inevitably deprive the government of its stock of gold and place this country updn the silver standard, and this would practically demonetize gold. Under the. operation of the act of 1890 the government had lost nearly $100,000,000 of gold, and under 11‘ continuance of the act the day could not be distant when it would question at issue was one Of standards. It would be madness, when the whole of the civilized and a large part of the heathen world had stopped the coinage of silver, for the United States to make that metal its standard of value. ' Bryan Attacks the Blessage. Mr. McCall was followed by Mr. Coombs Of New York.’ While speaking for the re- peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act he referred to notes and thereby broke the natural flow of his eloquence. Mr. Bryan (Dem. ., Nob.) followed Mr. Coombs and attacked the president’s mes- sage in vigorous terms. The recommenda- tions of the president‘ meant the iniriaili of silver, with no promise of resurrection. They were an argument for the single gold standard. They led to gold mOnometa1-' lism, over whose door was written, “Aban- don hope, all ye who enter here. ” est, which at first was intense, percoptibly came listless. rector of the mint, sent to the house today of standard silver in the dollar at the fol- lowing ratio.

Among the petitions presented in «the senate was one from Cass county, Ind. “It Was directed,” said Mr. Voorhees, in pre- senting it, “against the manifold iniqui- ties of the present civil service, in which petition I heartily concur.”. Mr. Manderson (Rep. ., Neb.) introduced two bills whiclr he said, he'd been prepared and sent to him by a gentleman of finan- cial ability and which were read by their titles and referred to the finance commito tee. The titles are: Directing the purchase of silver bullion and the issuance of treasury notes there- for, and for the appointment of a mint commission. their redemption, and for other purposes. Mr. Morrill (Rep, Vt.) gave notice that as he intended to leave' the city soon he would address the senate on Monday next on the ' Vest bimetallic resolution very briefly. Mr. Quay (Rep. ., Pa.) oflfered a resolution (which was agi eed to) directing the archi- tect of the capitol to examine forthwith the government property known as the the structure is secure and can be occupied with safety to life and property. that facts developed before the committee the necessity, for the examination.

The old fetid smell of decaying paper in the folding room of the senate affected the whole capitol and was polluting the air all the time. ' . Mr. Hoar (Rep. ., Mass.) suggested the propriety of furnishing all surplus books gress to public libraries in. the states," and in furtherance of that idea a r'esolution was offered by Mr. Butler (Dem., S. 0.) di- recting the sergeant-at-armsof. the senate to distribute to public libraries in the United States all public documents found on hand and not claimed by senators on Sept. 15 next. N 0 action was taken on the resolution, but Mr. Vest argued in favor, of, the pos- sage of a bill appropriating $300,000 for a of recbrds. 7 » The Currency Increase. ' Notice was given by Mr. Voorhees, chair- man of the finance committee, that he , would ‘not ask action may on the bill to: , allowna-tional banks to increase their cirh _culation to the par value Of the bonds de- posited by them, but that he‘ would do so tomorrow. was offered by Mr. Cockrell (Dem., Mo.) authorizing the secretary of the treasury to‘redeem (at par _and, accrued interest) . ‘ such of the 72 per ’,cent,,bonds as may be presented for redemption, and to pay for them' in new legal tender notes. _ This preposition appeared to Mr. Sher- man (Bep. ., 0. ) as unwise and _unbusiness likes and he stated the objections which This precipitated a discussion in which Mr. COckrell ridiculed the ideo of letting the national banks increase their circula- greenback circulation was opposed by the ro‘Se Advertise in the Guam He. said that he agreed- with the opponents of the bill that bimet— - A oon- ‘ be unable to redeem' in that metal.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.—The executive 1 V' ‘ committee of the antisilver forces-in the hOuse, appointed at the conference last ’ night. held a meeting today for censulta- ‘ "tion. A poll of the house has been prac- tically completed by the canvassers in the interest of the antisilver faction, which' is said by one of the leaders to show'an 1m"- pregnable majority of 27 in favor 0% un- conditional repeal of the purchasing clause as provided 1n the Wilson bill. There is substantial agreement of opin- ion among the silver and antisilver lead- ers as to what is to be the real that of the strength of the two parties on the several questions to be voted on at the close or the present debate. but a wide divergence ex- " ists as to the number of votes that will be cast by the twO sides thereon. . Mr. Barter estinmtes that if the- house «- successfully passes what he calls the dan- ger point of the vote on free coinage at a ratio Of 20 to 1 the majority of the Wilson: bill, which will present the naked questiOn iot repeal or no repeal, will be 100 or more. " qu the other hand, Mr. Bland says there are representatives who may vOte against. the coinage Of silver at any Specified ratio who will not vote to wholly abolish the use of silver as a money metal, Which would be the effect, he says, of the passage of the Wilson bill. "If there are any rcp- ‘resentatives from a silver district who would~thus vOte,” said Mr. Bland, “they had better make terms with the adminis? tration, for they cannot do it with their people. ” > Mr. Harter’s doubt as to' the result of the vote on the proposition to coin silver at a ratio of 20 to 1 is said to be due to in- ' formation conveyed to the antiSilver exeo- ‘ utive committee that there are upward of: 40 Republicans who will vote for establish' ing coinage at that. ratio. Mr. Bland, how-ever, believes that the ratio of 16 to 1 will be stronger in the house _. ‘ _ than any other, despite the reported 40 Re , - publican votes for 20 to 1.
