made, through Ottawa, to get an unnull-
ment of the original order. essential Chief Mc¬
Raes i" nh'iK'e is vitally to the
case of the state.
In the trial Dennis O’Connor and
Stephen Oolleran were called to the
stand ha; their evidence developed noth¬
ing new. Patrick Nolan, financial sec¬
retary of Camp 2t>, produced his record
book and from it testified as to the num¬
bers borne by Coughlin, Cooney, O’Sul¬
livan, Boggs and Burke, all of whom
except Cooney arc now on trial.
An Inijiorfan t Witness.
The most important witness of the
day was Capt. T. P. O’Connor, the call¬
ing of whose name created considerable
excitement. He said that he was a
member of Camp do and that at a meet¬
ing on Pet), s, Andrew Eow arose tn his
place and declared in the existing con¬
dition of the organization things were
in a bad shape. 1 .<■ Caron was testifying
before the Parnell commission and there
were four British spies should in America. be dissolved Foy
urged then that the reorganized Clan under another
and
name and then every one who was in
any way tainted with British affiliations
couid lie thrown out.
“Replying to that,’’ said Capt. O'Con¬
nor. "1 said that 1 was not surprised at
the remarks. I said that if they wanted
to look for spies they should look among
the executive body, for I had positive
information that the executive com¬
mittee were thieves and scoundrels, that
they were betraying the order and that
they had squandered the funds of the
rder to the amount of §100,000 and
that they had sent some of the bravest
and best men into British prisons. I
went on to say that. l had heard a verbal
report and had seen a closely written
account of 400 pages containing the re¬
port of tliKti'ial at Buffalo and that it
proved thefacts.
A Secret Committee.
“Instantly there was a tumult,” said
Mr. O’Connor. “A number of brothers
arose and asked me where I got my in¬
formation. To one of them I said, ‘You
ask nothing.’ Then and said 1 that turned if to the
senior guardian the se¬
nior guardian demanded my source of
information L would give it. There was
more out! reak and 1 again appealed to
the senior guardian. Then Dan Cough¬
lin arose in his place and moved that a
secret committee of three be appointed
to investigate this statement of mine
and find where I got my information.
There was talk and wrangle and then
the senior guardian rapped for order
and said: “1 will hear no more on this
subject. 1 will the appoint senior the guardian':" committee. ’ ”
“Who was
“John F. Beggs.”
Cross examined, the witness Said that
he did not mention Cronin's name or the
number of his camp, but that there
were men present who understood the
meaning and personal reference of his
words.
Witness said that at the time of tire
inquest Beggs advised him to tell every¬
thing and conceal nothing.
TYian^linj Was the Usual Order.
Police Officer John F. Collins, another
member of Camp 20, w as the next wit¬
ness. Be said lie was present at the
meeting of Feb. 8, and he corroborated
former witnesss regarding O’Connor, the speeches
made by Foy and Copt. add-
ing that upon their conclusion many
present jumped to their feet and hissed.
In the midst of the confusion Dan
Coughlin said something about appoint¬
ing a secret committee. At the meet¬
ing of Feb. 23 witness heard Beggs, after
McGarry and Powers finished speaking,
excitedly slap his breast and declare 1 that
the insinuations against Alexander Sul¬
livan must cease at once.
Cross examined by Attorney Foster,
witness acknowledged that most meet¬
ings of the camp wrangling, were characterized by
more or less and that when
Beggs denounced the casting of re¬
flections on Alexander Sullivan ho also
pleaded for pieace between the factions,
even if war were required to secure it.
Some Sensational Evidence.
Henry Owen O'Connor gave some sen¬
sational evidence. He swore that Fri-
day, March 1, at the first meeting after
the reunion meeting and after Beggs,
McGarry and Powers had made speeches,
he met Dan Coughlin. that Dan took him
aside and told him information had
been received from England that there
was a confederate in the order in Chi¬
cago. Dan then said that the indica¬
tions were that Dr. Cronin was the Brit¬
ish spy referred to. This was the first
direct evidence brought to light to show
that Dr. ( ronin was regarded as a spy
by Iris fellow clansmen.
Patrick McGarry, senior guardian of
Camp 9<>. took the stand and said that
on the night following Dr, Cronin's dis¬
appearance witness went to Patrick
O'Sullivan's house and told O’Sullivan
that his contract with the doctor was a
suspicious circumstance. O’Sullivan
had asked him if he didn’t think Dr.
Cronin was murdered by the United
Order of Deputies. Witness had said
the doctor was murdered by some per¬
sons nearer home.

The Cleopatra was on route to this
city frdni Newport News, Va., and the
Crystal Wave was bound to the Poto¬

The collision occurred at -V.50 a. in.,
and the vessels sank in an incredibly
short space of time. The crew of the
Cleopatra, numbering twenty-six all

Wave, to the number of thirteen, wore

It was i beautiful night and a good
run was made by the steamboat until
morning. Daylight was just dawning
and tlie sea was as smooth as a pancake,
when the lookout cm the Wave reported
a vessel dead ahead. The. Wave at that
time was headed, according to the
statement of her owner, down tlte beach,
and the other was headed up the strand.
There is a wide difference of statement
as to what followed immediately after
that, but there is a general agreement
on the fact that the next moment there
was a crash and the bows of the Cleo¬
patra crashed into the side of tHo steam¬
boat.
The Wave was struck on the star¬
board side, at a point about seventy feet
aft of the stem. The Cleopatra must
have been going very fast, because her
huge nose dug into the strong frame and

The crew of the ('rystal Wave left their

ever, remained to save whatever they
could. Capt. Randall, just before the

Capt. Martin was precipitated into the
water when the steamboat sank and
was drawn under the surface by the
suction. He managed to retain his hold
ui>on a life raft, however, and was
finally rescued by his own crew.
While the two crews were knocking
about in their open boats, the Kanawha
was seen coming along. When she
came up the shipwrecked crews went
aboard and Capt. Dale asked Capt.
Seers, the skipper of the Kanawha, to
