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.
