The Prosecution at Work.
There were current rumors on the street yesterday that ere the work of the day was finished something of a sensational nature would take place in the trail of the Sheedy case, but though the reporters attended their duties falthfully up to the hour of adjourment at 5 o'clock the promised sensation had not been brought up.
MR. COURTNAY'S REVELATIONS.
It was following Dr. Casebeer and at 3:30 that D. G. Courtnay, a war, friend of John Sheedy and a frequent caller at the house, took the stand and testified : He was near Eleventh and P on the night of the assault ; heard the shots and was at the house inside of ten minutes; when he went in Dr. Hart and Dr. Everett were dressing the wound; stayed there about an hour ; went away and returned again in an hour or an hour and a half; the doctor said when he first arrived that the wound was light; it appeared to witness to be a slight wound ; witness, Dr. Hart and Mrs. Sheedy put him to bed ; she wasn't crying. but was agitated.
Witness converesed with him after he had gone to bed ; asked him to descibe the person who struck the blow ; Sheedy said it was a thick set person and had on a short coat ; before Sheedy went to bed he was shown the cane and asked if he could identify it ; he said there were many canes like that. Sheedy asked if any of the shots he had fired had taken effect; witness remarked that the policemen had said that they had found blood on the sidewalk ; at that Sheedy had said, " I'll go down town with you ; I'm all right and I'll go down." Dr. Hart and Mrs. Sheedy asured him that he needed rest and he went to bed. As the occurrences of the next day the witness described the symptoms heretofore mentioned at length and said they reminded him of morphine poisoning, for he had seen the effects of morphine poisoning prior thereto. Witness stated that he saw Monday McFarland the next day also ; he came to the door and said he wanted to see Mrs. Sheedy on business. Any Bayliss was already in there crying, and as witness thought that was what Monday wanted to get in for he wouldn't let him in. In short time he found him trying to get in at another door which the girl had opened. He told witness that he wanted to see Mrs. Sheedy on bussiness, and witness told him that Mrs. Sheedy was at the bedside of her husband, that the latter was dying, and that he couldn't get in. Witness was employed as Mrs. Sheedy's attorney at the time and he said that on the Sunday afternoon of her arrest, when he went into the house, she remaked that he looked at her as if he though she was guilty, and asked him if he did so think.
"What was your reply, " asked Mr. Lamberston.
The defense objected, but after another whispered conversation with his client the objection was withdrawn by Mr. Strode.
The witness said he could not say postively what he had replied.
"Didn't you reply, "asked Mr. Strode, "that ' As I love my wife and little girl I believe you innocent? ' "
" No sir ; I did not. "
" Didn't you reply ' Yes I believe you are ?" asked Mr. Laberston.
" I don't remember. It was all in a general conversation. "
Witness told how he had advised Mrs. Sheedy to have herself appointed administratrix of a part of the estate to preserve her interests, as his impresion was at that time that Dennis Sheedy wanted to gobble the whole business. Mrs. Sheedy informed him that Dennis proposed that Mr. Fitzgerald should be made administrator of the whole estate. but he advised her that there was likely to be a big lawsuit in the matter and for her own safety she had better be appointed administratrix ; some $ 550 was found to be available.
of this $ 550 was found in the shape of checks for rent and $ 50 was found in an inside pocket of Sheedy's vest. Mrs. Sheedy had the coat and was washing the blood from it, when he cautioned her that she had better not do that. She said that she had found no money in it.
Witness knew that it had formerly been Sheedy's custom to carry about with him in his pockets several hundred dolars. That was some time before. Upon cross-examination witness stated that Sheedy had told him during the night after the assault that he suspected George Bradeen, Mose Smith, Alex Jeres and Frank Williams.
DR. MINNETT STARTLES 'EM.
Dr. Minnett, one of the physicians prevent at the autopsy was the next
witness, He described the various symptoms as the other physicians had done and in reply to the inquiry as to his opinion of the cause of death replied :
" I believe it to have been from the effects of morphine. "
He then went on with the usual description that have heretofore been given by the physicians in the case, describing the wounds on the skull.
Finally Attorney Lamertson delved into a pasteboard box and brought forth a ghastly skull with the crown neatly sawed off. This was handed the doctor who held it up in full view/
" Doctor, whose skull do you hold in your hand? " asked Mr. Lambertson.
" It is
THE SKULL OF JOHN SHEEDY,"
was the doctor's reply. The witness further testifying said he believed the blow was sufficient to cause the death of John Sheedy, but was not sufficient to cause the symptoms that attended his illenss and death. The cross examination of Dr. Winnett was deferred untilotoday, owing to the lateness of the hour.
Mrs. P. H. Swift was then called , but did not get to testify as there was no such name endorsed on the back of the information, it appearing " Mrs. Patrick Smith." She will probably be called later on. Adjo urment was then taken.
----------
This Morning.
Today the usual crowd of spectaters occupied the court room when the hour of nine arrived and Dr. Winnett took the stand for a cross-examination. The doctor described old wounds found on the skull at the post morterm and stated that the medical was not examined at that time but an examination of the cord was made about
THREE WEEKS AGO.
At Robert's undertaking rooms. The head, the organs and that portion of the body containing the column and cord were all of the body that was taken there. This examination was made by witness. Prof. Haines, of Chicago, Dr. Everett, County Attorney Snell, the sexton of the cemetery and others.
Prof. Haines of Chicago took the liver and bladder. Coroner Holyoke, Drs. Beachley, Hart nor Casebeer were not present. It has been kept a
PROFOUND SECRET,
but witness could not say that requests were made in this direction. The body was in fair state of presrvation ; the brain was demoralized ; the blader was in fairly good condition ; there were some secretion in it---from two or four ounces. The skull has most of the time been in Dr. Everett's office. It was taken from the grave by witness and Dr. Everett to the undertakers' rooms, and these gentlemen dressed the skull as at present seen. It was kept at the undertaking rooms, witness and Dr. Everett having an understanding with Mr. Roberts as to where to find the key.
Witness stated that a toxic dose of morphine usually made itself known within one-half to an hour. but will vary. This impression was gleaned from reading a table, in a medical work of several hundred cases of morphine poisoning. Producing the work, the witness retracted as he had evidently been mistaken. Witness observed no symptoms in condition of John Sheedy that could not be found in compression or concussion of the brain. Such a blow as administred to John Sheedy might produce either concussion or compresion of the brain.
THE SKULL
was again produced and the witness exhibited the fracture of the bones of the skull.
" It would take a heavy blow to fracture the mater bone, would it not, doctor ?"
" Yes, sir. "
" And such a blow would be likely to produce death, would it not ? " continued
Mr. Strode.
" In my opinion it would, sir, " replied the witness.
No one, except possibly Dr. Garten, has examined the skull since in the possession of the physicians the witness stated.
From the examination made by the witness at the autoposy he could not say that he had found any evidences of morphine,," poisoning. His opinion, as given in answer to Mr. Lambertson's question yesterday, that John Sheedy died of morphine poisoning was framed from the conditions of the patient at the time of his death, rather than from any revelations at the autopsy. The amount of congestion in blood vessels could not, either, be produced by concussion as in the case of John Sheedy. The skull was offered in evidence by the Mr. Lambertson of the prosecution. Objections were offered by Mr. Strode of the defense, on the ground that it, together with other portions of the body were taken up long after the coroner's jury by parties working without the authority of the coroner, kept by parties not under oath and examined in the presence and without the knowledge of any of the defense in the case. The objection was overruled and the witness exhibited the skull to the jury. The re-examination of the skull had bad the effect of making the witness believe that the blow given Sheedy was greater than at first supposed. Witness stated that he had given some especial study to this case as to compression or morphine or opium poison in this case.
The congestion as found at the postmorterm might have produced the mode of death---could be produced from various causes. It is not a distinctive charactersite of morphine poisoning. For the work the witness performed the witness
EXPECTS PAY,
but doesn't know from when ; it was not " a labor of love." He was asked by Dr. Everett to assist and he did so, expecting pay.
The question of how much was not answered, objection being raised by Mr. Lamertson, whereupon Mr. Strode
and he engaged in an exchange of compliments, the latter insinuating the the former had been paying some news papers for their 'labor of love" they had been performing for the prosecution.
---DR. M. H. EVERETT
followed Dr. Winnett to the stand and testified that he had only a slight acquaintance with the late John Sheedy, living across the street from the Sheedy house. He heard the shots on the night of the assault and saw the flash from the revolver. He was soon called to the house and dressed the wound. His opinion at that time was that the wound was a trivail nature. Mrs. Sheedy was quite calm and coliected that night.
No medicine was administred at that time. Dr. Hart was left there. He was simmoned again at 4 o'clock in the morining and found the patinent incenscious. Witness then described the condition of Sheedy and thought the symptoms at that time indicated morphine poisoning or compression of the brain. At a conference of physicians the next to discuss tripaning, this was also the general opinion as to Sheedy's condition.
Witness thought twenty grains of sulphonal is in on case a dangerous dose; it has no after-effects. The witness described the effects of morphine upon the limbs, muscles, and eyes where toxic doses are taken.
The symptoms of compression of the brain are sometimes identical with morphine poisoning.
" You may state, asked Mr. Lambertson, " whether or not the patient was suffering from concussion of the brain. "
" He was not. "
" How long may a toxic dose of morphine lie in the stomach ere poisonous effects are noticed ?"
"Sometimes several hours. "
" How long ordinarily does it take to manifest itself?"
"Generally half an hour. "
The witness was at the autopsy which was conducted by Dr. Casebeer and the conditions found by the witness were about as those described by Dr. Casebeer in his testimony.
" What was your own private opinion at the time of his death, of what caused John Sheedy's death ?"
" It was my opinion that he died from the effects of a brain injury. "
"Would such a blow as John Sheedy received produe death ?"
" It would . "
"Do you think death was in any way produced by a disease of the heart ?"
" I do not. "
Witness testified that on or about 22nd of April another examination of the wounds was made. Witness and others exhumed the head, vertebrae the liver and the baldder between 6 and 7 p. m. of that day. The body was very well preserved. After the examination the bladder and liver were taken in charge by Prof. Haines, the Skull by witness and Dr. Winnett. There were two little girls at the grave yard at the time the organs were exhumed. On re-examination it was found the injury from the blow was far more serious than at first supposed, because of fractures.
" What, from the symptoms at the time of his death and from all that you learned at the examination, is your opinion of the cause of his death?"
" I think it resuled from morphine poisoning. "

A Family Quarrel and a Fight
About All.
The grave demeasnor of Judge Houton was still graver this morning as the grievances of several pepole living in a boarding house were alred before him.
The racket occurred at breakfast time this morning and was brought about by a desire on the part of one of boarders to champion a lady in the house, the result a charge of assault by C. Ahlstead against W. H. Selp. After hearing the case and pitying the embarrassing position of the ladies who evidently very much against their will had come into court, the judge with a few words of advise dismissed the complaint.
Wm. Dougherty the irrepressible plumber and Oscar Wendt were brought in last night on complaint of Henry Saunders for creating a disturbance around the saloon corner of P and Tenth streets. Assessed $1 and costs and committed.
One S. Murphy was brought in by Officers Sipe on compiaint of Herman Schiller for fracturing the peace in his vicinity. $1 and costs and committed is entered against him.
Messrs. Calhon & Woodruff repport the loss of a gasoline stove from their premises 1020 P street, the evident work of some poor wretch who wished to start housekeeping.
Otto Hoffman and James Brady are reported by the army authorities as having desrted from Fort Omaha.
