In the Sheedy case now on trail the matters addced yesterday relative to the exhuming of portions of John Sheedy's body caused considerable gossip, and more so, too, when it was learned that some of the organs were taken away from the city by Prof. Haines of Chicago. This prompts the query on the part of some as to when Prof. Haines is to give his testimony in the case he has become so intersted in.
So far few seem to know but it is thought he may be here in a day or two.
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
The largest crowl of ladies yet noticed at the trail was seen yesterday afternoon when court opened.
He not having been cross-examined when a resess was taken Dr. Everett took the stand again and was questioned by Mr. Strode.
Witness made the remark to Sheedy then told him he had not been shot, but struck. Witness after examing it thought it not a servere wound. No medicine was given by the witness, suggested the giving of morphine, but Dr. Hart. who knew the effect, it would have on Shedy from a previous occasion. protested and it was not given. Witness feared that he would sustain a profound shock and this is why the morphine was suggested. The symptoms of profound shock and morphine poisoning
ARE MUCH THE SAME,
the former producing unconsciousness paralysis, loss of function, etc., the same as a toxic dose of morphine. At the time of the coroner's inquisition witness may have thought and said death resulted from delayed shock, but does not think so now. Compression of the brain might have caused his death, but taking everything into consideration the witness is of the opinion that morphine caused it. At the coroner's jury and before the autopsy witness believed he did say that the blow was the direct cause of his death and nothing else." Witness did not know what had been given Sheedy when he returned to the house at 4 a.m., not having the case, but was told only the three powders of sulfonal ; sulfonal will produce sleep in one hour, Fifteen grains would be about the proper dose for John Sheedy. If morphine were given in hot coffee it would generally act quicker;
hot coffee will act to disolve morphine. A toxic dose given in that way will manifest itself in form five to thrity minutes. There is
NO DEFINTE TIME
in which death would ensue in such event. There was an increased quantity of fluid about the brain of John Sheedy. This could be produced by various things. Morphine or opium poision would do it. John Sheedy was laible to die at any time. even had this blow not been given. In his opinion death was produced either by morphine poisoning or the injury to the skull.
There was nothing at the postmortem to indicate morphine poisoning except fluid on the brain, which might also be accounted for from other causes.
DR. MTCHELL'S OPINION.
Dr. Mitchell being called and sworn testified in substance that he thought the death of John Sheedy was caused by compression. Witness has not chnaged his opinion as to the cause of death. He then gave the symptoms of compression of the brain. The symptoms of John Sheedy could be accounted for by compression. The effects of compression are not necessarily immediate; the manifestations may be defrred for hours. Cross-examined by Strode, the witness reiterated his statement that in his opinion death was caused by compression. This was the extent of it and the doctor was excused.
PHOTOS GO IN.
S. M. Melick was then recalled and identified the photos of the John Sheedy residence in the different positions, etc. and the same were offered in evidence.
but objections were offered ny Counsel Strode on the ground of improper identification. nothing to show when the photos were taken, no occasion for them, being immaterial and irrelevant.
The objections were overruled and they were placed in evidence.
Mr. Stearns of the defense asked the witness if in January last the tree, as now represented in the photos, were covered with foliage. The witness did not think they were and the attorney suggested that under these circumsatnces that the photos were not thern a true representation of the premises at that time.
This concluded the testimony of this witness and there bing but two witnesss yet to be examined for the proscution and they being out of the city adjournment was taken. These two are Mrs. P. H. Swift and Steno-grapher Wheeler, the latter being
desired to testify as to the corrections of evidence of the corner's jury, offered in evidence earlier in the day.
DENNIS SHEEDY TO COME
Learning that the proscution would conclude its testimony today Mr. Strode made a formal demand on Mr. Lambertson to have Dennis Sheedy here by tomorrow and was assured that he would be here, the judge directing that he besummoned. Complaint was made by Mr. Strode to the affect that Dennis Sheedy jr. had been clerly steered out of the hands of the defense by the prosecution.
who enodorsed him as their witness and then did not use him, well knowing at the time he would not be used. Relying on the intention of the prosecution to have him, the defense made no effort to get him, and now his whereabouts is unknown.
