IMPORTANT WITNESS FOUND TOO LATE
Margaret Skinner Looked into the
Alley From an Upstairs Win-
dow--Her Testimony
Barred.
Now For the Finish.
On the whole, today's testimony was very dry and uniteresting in the Sheedy case, being all n the nature of rebuttal evidence.
The most important witness, perhaps, that the proscution has secured was today barred from testifying because of the fact that the state had rested its case. This witness was Margaret Skinner, who has rooms in the Butler block overlooking the alley in the rear of Sheedy's premises. She did not get to testify as to what she had seen when she opened her windows on hearing the shooting on the night Sheedy was assaulted, but from the statement made in open court by Mr. Hall of the prosecution, it is presumed she saw Monday McFarland coming out of the yard running up the alley to Thirteenth street. This, indeed, is what he conveyed to the jury in an unfair way this morning.
However, the case is now rested by both sides and arguments began Monday.
