PlttFiburg. Pa.. Ppt. M. Attorney
Shield, who Is managing the case for
'Dollce Magistrates Donolioe and Doher
ty in the investigation before Direct r
Brown, was xoiuewliat more successful
thairyewerduy. aM hough unable to pro
duce more than half wf the number if
witnesses summoned. He made a xtilT
light, however. In his efforts to estab
lish the Irregularly, so far as the police
are conceriul. of the tramuotion men
tioned yesterday of the dkimond theft
nnd .Marion C'lswrk's check. lie ulso
succeeded ill having iMi s. Clara Porter
present, although her testimony did not
ma.terlally differ from the stories al
ready published In her tiiiarges of huv
Itili paid various sums of money for
"protection" to Police Inspector Will
lam McKelvey. Mho also sstated that
Director Drown had given his permis
sion for her to open a "sporting" houso
on IVnn avenue. (Mrs. Helen White
bouse, wife of the police inspector of
the Second district, was next sworn.
She has not lived with her huslnand for
months und a divorce application Is
pending. Mrs. Wihltehouse test Hied to
her husband having, on numerous oc
casions, received money from people en
gaged In irregular liquor tfaltle; that
her husband's brother was at the pres
ent time keening a "spenk-easy."
The case of "Huck" Wallace, who. ft Is
alleged, has been the victim of police
persecution, was also, presented by Wal
lace nd another witness.
Mr. Shields then closed his side of
the case, stating that he was unable to
get witnesses to attend nnd would re
serve other evidence for a more fitting
time.
Kohlnsnn's Fxntnnntion.
Detective Hoblnson was called by the
defense and related the circumstances
front the check offered In evidence yos
trday. He said that with the check
given by Dark he had purchased a
diamond which McKee accepted In lieu
of the stolen Jewelry. Robinson was
md paid for his services.
I II. Smith, the pawnbroker. Identi
fied his endorsement on the check and
stated that he had sold Robinson a
diamond for $100.
Alex McKee, who had charged Clark
with the theft of his diamond, lestltled
to reporting his suspicion to Robinson
nnd of his acceptance of Clark's propo
sition to settle the case.
Inspector McKelvey was called and
denied In toto that he ever had re
ceived money from Mrs. Porter at either
of the times specified In her testimony
and affidavit.

stated was a witness to her dealings
with McKelvey, denied any knowledge

ntiantlties of champagne. They were
very particular about what brand they
got and never paid for It. A bill for J."0

books. They got probalbly $500 worth
while witness was there. His employer,
'Mr. Plug, raid this kind of trade was
very costly to keep up, as he had 1o
"stand In' with the front ofTiee people.

leigh. for the defense, showed the char
acter of the witnesses and their evident
malice and cause formnllce against the
police.
Mr. Shields said he would mnke no
nieech. "our police force," bo raid,

east of Ijockalcne Island, one of the
Russian possessions.
On the morning of March 26, with a
high sea running, the captain ordered
the boats out. The mate and crew took
exception to the order, but, as the cap
tain was firm, the boats put off. A
heavy storm arose In which two of the
boats were blown to sea, and the boat
In 'Which were seven men and the
mate, was thrown by a huge wave high
up on the rocks of Copper Island and
smashed, all but Olsen and Garvin be
ing drowned.
All night the men lay on the rocks,
cut and bleeding, while the increasing
storm continually covered them Willi
cold pprny. F.nrty In the morning the
schooner was sighted, laboring heavily,
but all of the time drifting helplessly
towards the recks, which later she
struck, bow on, and sunk with the
seven men who hail remained on board.
Olsen nnd mate remained In their po
sition until the morning of March 2S,
both huvlng sulTe.n d Intensely. On thJs
morning, the storm having abated, they
prospected and near the south end dis
covered the 'bodies of the captain, stew
ard and cook. They also found a barrel
containing fresh water and several
boxes of corned beef.
For six days and nights the men re
mained on the island, but on the morn

aboard and carried to Lockolene Island,
which Is about forty miles to the south
of Copper Island. Here they were enp-tur.-d
by Inns and delivered to Russian
olltcers. The only word the men could
understand of what was a-sked them
was "passports," and as they had none
they were taken, ironed together, on
a three days' Journey to Karosokoff.
An Interpreter was found, hut their
story was not believed, and they were
sent, stll Ironed, as prisoners to Alex

ond day. Seeing a Rrltish fta.T flying
over n store near by. the men. when not
closely watched, made a break for Db
erty and reached the door of the store,
when they were recaptured. An F.ng
llshman In the store had heard the
commotion and come out to nscertain
the cause. The men told him their
story and he aided them to their liberty
by obiiinlng con II mint Ion of the wreck

He Makes i Fiery Speech at th

ENEMY OP ENGLAND'S FRIENDS
Willing to Sacrifice Ills Life for Irish
Independence IK. legates Maddea
and Sheedy Turned bona,
Other Convention Work.
Chicago. Sept. 25. Th delegates to
the Irish, convention were again behind
ti:ae in assembling this morning nnd
when, at II o'clock. Chairman Klniu-r-ty
called them to order he N rnly re
buked them for their tardiness.
The roiort of the rommltKe on cre
dentials simply consisted 4n the hand
ing to the chair of a pile of ceir.lHcates
of eligibility turned In by the delegates.
No tluuns of the number of delegates
or the places represented were submit
ted. Is legate Lynch, of Pitttfhurg.
moved that the names of Madden and
Sheedy. of Pennsylvania, Im added to
the roll of delegates. The entire dele
gation from western Pennsylvania sup
ported the admission, but the conven
tion, liy an overwhelming majority,
refused to nmend the report of the com
mittee, n delegate In the ldy of the
hull shouting, "They are troublesome
men; we don't want them."
After this the report was adopted.
The reKirt of the committee on per
manent organization continuing the
temporary organization was adopted.
An amendment to add 'Tonovan Ros
sa to the list of vlee-prcsldcnts was re
ceived so coldly that he declined .to al
low It to be voted upon. In assuming
thechu'lras permanent presiding olflcer,
ex-Cengresainan Finnerty made a fiery
speech.
I'lncrty's Firebrand.
"We are the friends of everv enemy of
England," he said, "and the enemy of ev
ery friend of Kngland, and we want to
drive It home and nail It to the mast until
the teeth of the lying Whigs are loosened
from their sockets and fall from their Iv
Ing mouths. Today Ireland is the kep"t
harlot of the spoils of the empire. Some
of our papers seem to be afraid we may
enmplk-ate this country with England.
Suppose we do? Let tho Knglish dare to
fire the first shot. What do we care for
Knglish sentiment. We will mete out to
Knglish the same measure Knglund has
meted out to ns. We will devote our ef
forts, means, and if necessary, our lives
for the acomplishment of Irish Indetiepd
ence. Let the movement inaugurated here
toiliiy never come to an end until the flag
flots above a free and independent Irish
senate."
The applause was frequent. In order
to afford the state delegation an oppor
tunity to caucus for members of the
committee on resolutions and ways nnd
means, the convention at 12.0 took a
recess until 2..KI p. m.
There were Indications of bad blood,
ns the delegates dispersed, over the un
seating of the Plttshurgers. and it
came to the surface during the recess.
The New York. Massachusetts, Mis
souri, Philadelphia and Chicago dele
gations voted solidly to sustuin the
committee, while the western Pennsyl
vunians were supported by the scat
tering delegates from the far west and
the southern states.
Friends of the men excluded claimed
that the harsh treatment they had re
ceived was due to the fact that In the
past they had antagonized the old "tri
angle" element of the Clan-na-c,ael and
Insisted that the present convention
was controlled by that element. John
Lynch, of Pittsburg, who was the only
one of the trio whose papers passed
muster In the committee, said he was
ns deep In the mire as were his col
leagues, nnd why he should be admit-'
ted while they were turned down was
something beyond his comprehension.
Another effort to admit the Plttsburg
ers may be mad
