MRS. SHEEDY'S CASE.

IT WILL PROBABLY COME UP TODAY.

It is Alleged That the Analyzing Chemist Will Not Withold the Result of His Analysis.

Nothing But Her Own Affidavit.
Mrs. Sheedy's application to be admitted to bail will probably come up for hearing this morning. This is the second time her attorneys have applied to have her released on bail. The first time was at the conclusion of her preliminary examination before Judge Houston. This examination lasted some three days and at its conclusion her attorneys requested to have her admitted to bail on the grounds that it did not appear that the proof against her was evident or the presumption of her guilt great. The court took this application under advisement and afterwards refused to admit her to bail for the reason that he found from the evidence that Monday McFarland and Mrs. Sheedy were charged with the crime of murder, and that from the evidence he found the proof of the charge was evident and the presumption great, and he therefore refused to admit either of them to bail, but on the contrary remanded them to jail to await the action of the district court.

The application for bail at this time is based upon a motion signed by Mary Sheedy, and on an affidavit made by her, and assigns the same reasons for application for bail as were assigned before Judge Houston; and in addition to these adds that there has been no complaint filed in the district court and that Mrs. Sheedy's health is being endangered by her remaining in jail. Her attorneys have filed nothing else in support of her application except her own affidavit.

An impression seems to have gotten out that the chemist who has the analysis of the stomach in charge will not reveal the result of his analysis until he is called as a witness at the trial of the case. The prosecuting attorney says there is no foundation for it: at least the coroner has never received any such information from the chmist, but on the contrary the result of the analysis of the stomach will be made known as soon as it is ascertained.
