MORAN'S DEFENSE
IS BEINGPRESENTED
DEFENDANT ON THE STAND
AT ADJOURNMENT.
Witnesses for the Commonwealth
Tell Substantially tho Same Story
as Those of the Defense and That
Which the Accused Man Himself
Is Telling Only One Witness for
the Prosecution Whom the Defense
so Far Has Endeavored to Contra
dict Mr. Kelly Makes Opening.
Nearly every witness for the com
monwealth us well ns the defense In
the Mornn murder trial, yesterday, told
tho storv of the portion of the itffruy
which he or she saw, substantially ns
the defendant contends It happened.
Mornn himself wns put on the stanil
In the afternoon and was still under
examination at adjournment.
The llrst wltnera of the day was
Michael McCStilro. tho young man who
received the Rash In the hand while
trying to separate tho combatants.
C.llllguii struck the first blow, he paid.
They grappled nnd after a few mo
mnntH struggling flllllgnn bucked
away, saying: "You have stuck me In
tin- arm." Moran retorted: "You've
tut me on the head and cars." When
Moran rtnrted down the street, Ollll
gan followed, throwing stones at him.
Moran was trying to get Into Morrl
hou's gate when (Jllllgnn caught hhn
by the coat collar and pulled him to the
ground, falling on top of him. He tried
I to separate them and received a gush
In the hand. AVho held tho knife he
does not know. lie saw Mornn after
wards getting on top of Gllllgnu.
MHS. FLOOD'S STOUY.
Mrs. Margaret Flood, the next wit
ness, told that she ran to the neene
upon being told by Mis. Moran that
"Kddle and nilligan are at It again."
Helng a large and muscular woman,
she interfered lorclbly to stop the light
ing and restrained Oilllgan after he
received the stab wound In the arm.
I mie uemea positively on crops-exam
ination that she put her arms about
him and that he broke away. She said
she only laid her hand on his shoulder.
Tho defense was particular to show
that Oilllgan broke away from her
strong hold, and later in the day put
Senator Vnughan on the stand and had
him show by his shorthand notes that
Mrs. Flood testified at the coroner's
inquest that she grasped Oilllgan llrmly
about the body and that he broke away
by reason of his superior strength. Mrs.
Flood helped Patrolman Paltry separ
ate the men.
Jamesi tlunnlng told of the quarrel of
the early evening. It was over the sale
of a cow, nnd in substance was that
Gilllgan made threats against Moran,
because the latter, he alleged, was tell
ing among tho neighbors that ho owed
him money. Cunning admitted on
cross-examination that Oilllgan was a
large and powerful man and had the
reputation of being about as good a
man in a light as' there was In tho
"Notch."
Patrolman John Snltry, James Saltry,
Mary Kelly and Mary McLaughlin, eye
witnesses of the concluding portion of
tho affray, ndded nothing new to the
story already so frequently told.
OPENING FOR DEFENSE.
Mr. Kelly made the opening for the
defense nt C o'clock, outlining th't
theory of self defense, upon which a
verdict of acquittal will be asked. Oil
llgan wns the larger man and tiv.
aggressor. He viciously attacked Mor
an was repulsed, pursued Moran
when tho latter was rett eating towards
his home, overtok htm as he was trying
to go through a gate and get out of
the way, threw him down, pounded
him on the head with some weapon
and throttled him. Mornn, feeling
himself In great peril of his life,
wielded the knlfo which he carried open
In his hand while fleeing from the llrst
encounter, intending to prod his adver
sary and compel him to get oK
of him.
A.F.O'Hoyle.John Loftus, James Hop
kins, Thomas Saltry, Select Council
man James Grier, Paul Jones, It. E.
O'Hoyle, David John and .Tames Hoover
gave character testimony. None .-f
them had ever heard anything against
the defendant's reputation for peace
and quiet. Several of theso witnesses
worked alongside Moran la the Von
Storch slope and told of his having
sprained his right ankle a few days
before the killing, and nlso that he
walked lame on his left leg, which
wus broken In a mine accident seven
years ago.
Dr. O. O. Caldwell tcstilled to having
been called to attend Moran In the po
lice station after tho killing. There
were two badly contused wounds on tic
light side of the head, blood wns In
his ear and there was a large swelling
on the forehead. Ho also viewed Gllll
gan's body, but saw no wounds on the
face.
DKFENDANT'S WIPK.
Rose Aim Mornn, wife of the de
fendant, testified that her husband was
trying to get Into Morrison's gate when
Oilllgan caught hold of him and threw
him down.
Moran next went on the stnnd. He
said the trouble -between himself and
Oilllgan began two years ago when
they had a street fight. In which he,
the witness, wns badly whipped. They
made up nnd for a long time w-re
good friends, lending each other money
on various occasions. "When Oilllgan
would get drunk, however.he would !
show enmity toward the witness nnd
on these occasions he kept out of C.llll
gan's way.
After the quarrel In the early part
of the evening the witness went to his
brother's house Instead of going home
as wns his Intention, doing this to
avoid encountering Oilllgan, who wns
his Immediate neighbor.
As fur as he hod proceeded In his
testimony at adjourning time, Moran
had added Uttlc of importance to tho
story already told. In tho encounter
nt the corner, he alleged, ho tore some
thing out of Oilllgan'H hand, which ho
believed at the time and still believes
was a billy. Ho was positive that Oil
llgan had some weapon In his hand
when ho wns pounding him on the head
at the encounter In front of Morrison'.'.
He exhibited his left leg to tho Jury
showing where It had been broken,
and followed this up with the state
ment that It still bothers him periodl
rnlly, causing him to walk lame. H
stated also that ever since the night
of the killing ho suffers frequent dis
charges of bloed from his ear.
TO CONTINUE MURDER CASE.
Arguments Pro and Con Made Before
Judge Gunster.
Arguments were heard bv Judg
Gunster yesturdHy on a motion of Dis
trict Attorney Jones to continue th
trial of Uaffacl PaMara charged with
tho murder of Joseph Santoro at Lack
awanna last July, which Is scheduled
to como up today.
Mr Jones called attention to the fact
that two murder cases were put on
trial this term nnd that It was Impos
sible for him to nttempt trylnn a third.
It would cause great Inconvenience all
around, he snld, and would demoralize
tho business of tho week. The fact
thut tv Jury Is engaged In tho Moran
trial, Mr. Jones also pointed out would
prevent tho defendant from having tho
privilege of a full panel, a right to
which even the defendant can not
waive.
Attorneys Joseph O'Hrlen and V 11.
Lewis, representing Pnssarn, argued
against a continuance saying thai the
case had already gone over two terms
nnd under tho law must be tried. Tho
offense was committed borore cither of
tho other homicides which have been
sent to trlnl, they averred, and should
have been put nt tho head of the list lit
place ot the Keller ease. It wa also
pointed out that Passant has been In
Jail six months and If he Is not alvon
a trial will have to be Imprisoned four
months longer. In the Mornn case, It
wns stated tho defendant wns out on
ball.
Mr. Jones nnswered that he had good
and suiriclent reasons for wishing: the
case put over.
Judge Gunsler said the only question
to be considered wns whether or not
this case o.tme within tho ocenttonst
to the two-term rule. On this point,
ho announced, ho would hear argu
ments Saturday morning. If the mo
tion to ootitliMie Is denied, the- trial will
be started Saturday and continued the
following week.

"Fellow Mechanics and Ladles of
America Thin emblem was made by
an American mechanic, Rotsy Ross, and
after Its adoption by congress It took
American mechanics to keep It floating.
In the struggle to keep this banner

Sam's broad domain.
"In the fall of 'til Judge Archbald and
Judge Gunster were school boys going
to school at our city schools. Judge
Archbald came to mo one morning nfter
the firing on Fort Sumter and said:
'Pierce, there Is a rebel ling lloatlng on
our school house.' 1 was much sur
prised and hurried to the school house,
to find that there was not a boy who
would enter under the rag. We could
not find a pole to shin up or a ladder,
and finally I went up from window to
window until I was able to reach tho
cornice, and from there drew myself to
the roof. I tore the rag, a Hag of red
and white, with a lone star In the upper
corner and a palmeto tree with a snake
colled around It, from the roof and
threw It to the boys In the stteet be
low, where It wat? torn and stamped
upon.
"This Hag was raised between Sun
day night and Monday morning, and
was tho first rebel Hag I ever saw. On
October 23, ISfil, I left my home to go
and see more of them, and for four
years I hunted for those lings. Oh! my
friends, If you should ever be uway
from the protection of this emblem, our
American Hag, you will realize what It
Is. Here In a small flag I always carry
In my pocket, the emblem of freedom.

PILLAGER INDIAN TROUBLES.
Story of the Battle with Gen. Bacon's
Men Told by a Red Mnn.
St. Paul, Dec. 13. A government agent
who has Just leturned from the north
ern putt ot tho statf, where Re hns
been for some time among the Indians,
gives the following details of the cause
of the recent war at Leech lake nnd of
the feeling of tho Indians:
"I wuh for some time on the Red lake
reservation." ho said, "and while there
saw a Leech lake Indian, who said that
he was one of the Indians who took
part In the battle of Sugar Point. Thy
Indian told me that when General
Bacon and his men arrived at Sugar
Point twenty Indians were there hold
ing a council. They were surprised to
see the troops so soon nnd to llnd that
there were more than twenty of them,
ay they expected only the small de
tachment that went to Walker. At that
time onlv a few of the Indians had
their guns with them. The ones not
armed went for their guns at once.
That was tho reason that the attack
was not made while the troops were
out searching the point for the men
they wnnted to nrrest. The Indlnns
that remained on the point lay hidden
in the woods, waiting for the others to
come back with their arms and am
munition. "The nttnek was made soon after tho
Indians had assembled. Thirty-two red
men participated. Three of them were
killed nnd several wounded. The In
dlnns hnd 1.000 rounds of ammunition,
and they used It nil the first dny. They
did little fighting on the second day,
but withdrew for more ammunition and
reinforcements. They returned to the
battleground on the second morning
prepared to wipe out every white mnn
In tho place. When they reached there
they found that the troops had gone
back to Walker.
"The Indians snld that the soldiers
fought bravelv, but that If they had
not withdrawn when they did they
would have till been killed.'
