It Is Alleged That She Once Assorted That the Men Played Cards to Deter- mine Who Should Put the Old Folks Out of the Way. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—-There was a large throng of listeners before Justice Smyth in the criminal branch of the supreme court today at the murder trial of Patrick McMahon, which was commenced yester- It is charged he murdered his aunt and uncle,‘Bridget and John Sexton, in their home, at 145 East Forty-first Street, on Jan. 26 last. It is alleged he attacked them with an ax and shovel. frightfuliy hacking and mutilating their bodies. It is also held that he confessed his crime. One of the most startling statements brought out in the trial thus far is the testimony of Mary A. McMahon, sister of the prisoner, who witnessed the crime. She declares that when she first saw Pat- rick after the quarrel with his uncle he cried out to her: “Those people tried to kill me, and I do- fended myself the best I could.” Another point which the witness re- membered was a game of cards which her brothers played about a year ago in which lots were drawn to see which of them should do away with the old~ couple and thus secure their money. When Justice Smyth took his place on the bench, Assistant District Attorneys McIntyre and Oliver were all ready to go on with the prosecution and Lawyer Charles W. Brooke was on hand for Mc- Mahon. The witness of yesterday, Miss Mc- Mahon, was first called. She was dressed in deep mourning. Frank V. S. Oliver, Mr. McIntyre’s as- sistant prosecutor in this trial, assailed the witness with questions concerning the transactions whose occurrence she had so conveniently forgotten in yesterday’s ses- sion. ' Faces Her Affidavit. Brandishing an affidavit, in which the witness had told many things she had for- gotten, Mr. Oliver shouted: “DO you mean to say that you never told anybody about that game of cards your brother played?" The question was ruled out. “You said that you never made any statement to anybody,” resumed Mr. Oliver, “yet here is a statement signed in your own handwriting. ” Charles W. Brooke, McMahon’s lawyer, that question she understood it to allude only to the famous game of cards in which, so it has been alleged, the McMahon broth- ers gambled away their aunt’s and uncle’s life. , When the lawyer thus came to the wit ness’ rescue, she eagerly nodded her head. Before the assistant district attorney could put a stop to the discussion it was plain that Mamie McMahon had turned from a witness for the prosecution into a witness for the defense. - Justice Smyth put an end to the wran- gle. Mr. Brooke sat down with a chuckle. “By such flagrant conduct,” murmured Mr. McIntyre, “the witness is really prej- udicing her brother’s case and will so help our side after all. ” - Further examination of the witness was abandoned by the prosecution. Mr. Brooke began his cross examination by calling for the ax and hatchet found lying in the blood of the two victims. “Did you ever see those hatchets before the night of Jan. 26?” asked the lawyer. “Yes, often.” “Where?” “In my aunt and uncle’s house.” “Did you ever see your aunt with that ax in her hand making threatening ges- tures at your brother?” Mr. McIntyre objected vociferously to the word “threatening, ” and it was struck out. Saw Her Aunt Threaten. The sister explained that she had sev- eral times seen her aunt threaten her brother with whatever came to her hand. Having thus paved the way for his theory of self defense, Mr. Brooke thus followed up his advantage: “Did you see your uncle come in on the night of Jan. 26?” “Yes.” “What did he do?” “He made a pass at Patrick—this way”— The young woman made a violent lunge at a startled court officer. “Did he have a knife in his hand?” “I don’t remember. I was so badly frightened at his looks that I fainted. ” That ended the sister’s testimony. Patrick J. McCourt of 347 East Forty- flrst street, the house next door to where Bridget Sextonwas killed, was then put on the stand. He described himself as an old friend of the McMahon family. On the night Of the alleged murder he heard the commotion caused by Patrick’s encounter with his uncle and heard him say: “Shut up! I won’t hurt a hair on your head. ” This answer was repeated with great i gusto by Mr. Brooke. William Boland, a clerk in Bellevue, I did not remember the arrival of Bridget ' Sexton’s body .at the hospital. In the death register, however, be identified his ' own entry of her name. The entry was _ offered in evidence. Corroborative testl- f mony was given by John Faie, assistant ‘ l keeper of the morgue. A Domestic Charged With Murder. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 27,—Lawyer Charles F.

HE BLAMBS THE DEMOCRATS Matters Fixed Up in North Carolina, How- ever—Watson Speaks Again—A Day With Presidential Candidates Bryan and McKinley. CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-—G. F. Washburn of the Populist national committee, who re- turned from Georgia today, declared in an interview that all fusion negotiations be« tween Senator Jones and himself are Off. He said: . “There were a few states where fusion Was pending, and we were trying to con- summate arrangements. When I visited Georgia, I saw that it was vitally essential that all complications should be adjusted at once, so that the solid vote of the ‘inid- die of the road’ Pcpulists might be secured for Bryan. While we were arranging these matters it was flashed over the wires that the Georgia and Tennessee Democrats had rejected the overtures made by the Populists and adjourned without making a counter proposition. This was most un- fortunate, as it occurred at a time when it seemed apparent that all complications Would be removed, our people satisfied and Bryan's election made certain. As these two states were involved in our arrange- ments this action rendered it impossible for us to continue negotiations. They were broken off and a conference was arranged with Mr. Watson and Mr. Reed at Nashville that I might report to them the facts of the case. The responsibility of all this must rest squarely upon the Georgia and Tennessee Democracy. They seemed more anxious to beat the Populists than to elect Bryan, and whatever results the odium of their unpatriotic action brings must rest upon them. “In all justice to Senator Jones, I must say that from the beginning he has been eager to remove all complications and ef- fect an equitable fusion in every state and thus unite all the silver forces for Bryan and victory. _ “All negotiations are now at an end, and whether our people and candidate have been recognized to the extent they should or not, our committee desires that every Populist shall prove his patriotism in helping at the polls to elect Bryan, just as he did in nominating him at St. LOlllS. " Bry’an Still On the Go. BLOOMINGTON, 1115., Oct. 58. —William J. Bryan evidently will make the last week of the campaign one of hard work, and in all probability a record breaker. Shortly after 7 o’clock this morning he was talking to the people of Lincoln, 1115., and at 9 o’clock the people of Blooming- ton were listening to the triple nominee. At Lincoln there was a good sized crowd at the depot before breakfast—in fact, many were there all night, for when the special car was side tracked shortly after 3 o’clock this morning a crowd of ardent admirers of the nominee shouted for him, disturbing his rest and demanding a speech at that early hour. When he arrived in Lincoln, the crowd surrounded the car and loudly demanded his appearance. When Mr. Bryan began to speak, there was a crowd of several thousand assembled about the platform in the public square in Lincoln and nearly every member of the crowd wore 3 Bryan badge. Mrl Bryan’s talk was in the main a defense of the state ment that a panic would follow the enact- ment of the law looking toward the free coinage of silver. His speech was liberal- ly applauded, and he was in touch with the crowd which heard him. Stamping Tour of Michigan. MANISTEE, Mich, Oct. 2S.—A party of gold standard advocates, consisting of Ru- fus F. Sprague, National Democratic can- didate for governor; ex-Governcr Thomas M. Waller of Connecticut, Colonel John P. Irish of California, sir-Congressman Charles D. Hairies of New York, Post- master John J. Enright of Detroit and others began a tour of Michigan in a spe- cial train and accompanied by a big band of music from Grand Rapids. Extremely large and enthusiastic meetings were held today at Mackinaw City, Petoskey, Trav- erse City and this city. After holding meetings throughout the lower peninsula the party will end the tour in Grand Rapids Saturday. Women Visit Canton.

THOMSON, Ga., Oct. 28.—Hon. Thomas E. Watson spoke at Lincolnton to 3,000 Populists. He declared he would be in the race for vice president until the last vote I was counted. He said that withdrawal of the Populist electoral ticket in Georgia didn’t indicate that he would come down, but it was 'only a protest against the pres- ent management. He declared that the Populist party had been betrayed by its leaders. He denounced Sewall as a pluto- crat, a national banker, etc. Fusion in North Carolina.

The idle singer of an cmptyday. William Morris, the English poet, called himself “The idle singer of an empty day,” yet he was anything but idle. His ways were full Of effort. Time and time again he was de~ scribed as poet, artist, socialist, agita- tor and reformer. But these were all expressions of the dominant influence in his nature. In all things this ma- kcr of student literature, this singer of songs, this designer Of tapestries and papers, this printer of books, this rabid socialist was a colorist. saw \ A 0&5" 8 .wxf‘raxp 'r= (\‘\<"_/ a)!” . ”1.5 .I’lh’flji 7‘ WILLIAM MORRIS. “I was led to Socialism,” he said, “by noting how ugly civilization is.

Of course this is much better expressed by Ruskin, but he thinks the remedy is a return to the past, whereas I look to a new fu- ture. My Socialism has its origin in artistic longing.” . His own appearance exemplified his creed. He was a stout, sturdy, stal- wart man who looked at the world frankly with bright blue eyes that ii- lumined his ruddy face. Hewore a black slouch hat. His massive head was covered with a shock of rumpled gray hair, while a tempestuous beard adorned his face.

A. well-meaninfg young woman was covered with confusion. She read of the pretty trick that a gentleman acquaintance of mine loves to practice upon poor childrenL—that of taking a penny out of the child’s hair and presenting it to the amazed youngster—and she thought she was an excellent opportunity. A shabby dressed, shoeless girl sat next to her, holding the hand of her mother, who was even shabbier and . dirtier than the child. The lady took a nickel from her pocketbook, “palmed” it, and then said, as she seized one of the little girl’s-straggling locks,— “Mercy on me! What have you got in your hair?” “Nothing de mat wid her hair!” hissed the matron. She was an Ital- inn, and her eyes blazed with anger. “Her hair all righta. I combo. dis morn.

You go away!” And away my friend went accord- ingly. . Training Cats.

Another cat climbs by a rope to the roof, seizes the handle of a parachute, and descends by it to the ground from a considerable height. Mr. Clarke repeats, what is well known, that the cat is the most dif- ficult Of animals to train to perform tricks. He has trained bears, lions, leopards, tigers and other wild ani- mills, and finds them teachable and submissive when compared with cats. The cut. indeed, can never be so far counts-red that her performances can be (I. In :nlud on. Mr. Clarke’s entertain- mclii includes only thirty trained cats, but he has to take with him sixty, in order that he may have substitutes for those who will not perform. . Forgave Him on the Spot. Another story of the late Eugene Field’s irrepressible‘ love of joking comes from the “Youth’s Companion.” He and his Wife had entered a street , car, to find all the seats taken save one at each end of the car, and they seated themselves accordingly. When the conductor collected the fares Mr. Feld announced in audi‘ ble tones, as he gave him a dime, at the same time pointing to the far end of the car: “That is to pay the fare of the lady over there—the one wear- ing the new beautiful brown silk dress.” - All eyes were turned to her, and her pretty face took a, most becoming rose color, but back_ of the reproving glances she threw him was one of mingled indulgence, appreciation and mirth at the unexpected and appar- ently truthful announcement.
