The large room wob crowded to Its utmost capacity. Evi dently tho case has excited a wonder ful amount of Interest In Wllkcs-Uarro and Its lclnlty. THE ACCUSED. When the squlro was ready to pro ceed with the hearing the prisoners were brought from tho sheriff's ofllco and took seats at the defendants table. Their mother was with them. She Is a somewhat corpulent person and was dressed In mourning. On one side of her sat her nccuflod daughter, also 'n mourning, and on tho other side was here oldest son, Patrick Monaghan. Across the table from htm were his brothers, John nnd Tom, and beside them was Thomas Clark, who was ac cused of assisting John nnd Tom to kill Corcoran and plunder tho homo John was neatly drosseu and has any thing but an ell face. Tom nnd his sister Impress one less favorably. There Is a shiftiness about their eyes that Is not In their favor. Mary was ap parently very self composed und did not seem to bo affected by her con finement. Her brothers were glum and stolid In appearance, nnd Clink's faco generally wore a kind of a smile that was dangerously close to a leer. He Is a oung man who la very Indifferent about his personal appearance and It Is only candid to say that he looks like a member of the "Willie" gang. After Williams gave himself up ho Joined tho other defendants at tho table. He Is a breezy young man bteezj to the verge of freshness, but he Is not dissipated looking nnd while undeniably tough does not bear the car marks of n criminal. John Lan gan, who came foiward to surrender himself, is a tall, lithe joung man with nothing particularly against him so fur is his peieonal appearance Is concern ed. GREAT ARRAY OF COUNSEL With the accused at their attorneys J.unes liuiray, John l- Shea, James I. Morris, M. N. Donnelly, M. II. Mc- , Anlff and Thomas D. Shea. Dish let Attorney T. R. Martin looked after the 1 commonwealth s side of the rase and with him sat . ohn f. Maillii, of Scianton, pthnte counsel foi ' lki" 1 Seidman, nnd W H Gillespie, of Pitts ton, attorney for the Corcoran estate. The prullmlnatles with reference to pleadings, etc., were satlsfactoilly dis posed of, Coroner McKce gut s-oine unimportant testimony and at .! "0 "Ike" Seidman was called to the stand b. the dtsttlct attorney. ' Theie was a gieat craning ut necks to get a view of the now Sherlock Holmes when he went on the stand. 1 His English Is not tho best, although 1 born In 0nego N. Y., und his edu- cation is evidently very meagie. Ho had some difficulty In leading the In formation he swore to, and failed to comprehend the meaning of such woids as "dimensions" and "Interior" w lien they found a place In some of the dls tilct attorney's questions. "Ike" mndf a distinctly bad Imptes- 1 slon on the stand. He phoned no gratp whatever of tho details surrounding tho crime. For Instance: He swore that he wa told that the Monaghan 1 boys went to tho yard In the rent- ot the hotel on the night of the minder and cut a clothesline with which to tlo their sister nnd Corcoran. He did not attempt to find out if thoro ever was a clothesline in the yard. As a mat ter of fact, wire was used for a line. If tho statement" made at the heating ate to be believed. In reference to the wrecking of tho safe, he said It was forced open with chisels. If an explosive had been used Nellie Murphy, who slept upstniis, would have been thrown out of bed. No other officer in this end of the state, possibly with the exception of "Ike," would have made such a statement. SEIDMAN'S POSITION. AVhen Seidman went on the Ftnnd tho district attorney asked him to state what his position 1" "I look after the mines of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western; stuff stolen from them, etc.," he modestly replied. "Do you look after them as a gen eral superintendent or ofllcer?" ques tioned Mr. Martin, who likes exact re plies. "As a Hpeclal olTlcei," leplied the witness Seidman then proceeded with his story, which, In btlef, was as follows: He went to Duryea on the day of the murder and on the following Monday and in the presence of John Keator, questioned Mary Monaghan. She told him of tho manner In which she was awakened, how she came down stalls, was bound and tied to tho bed on which Corcoran's body lay. She told him they took everything there waa In the safe, took Corcoran's watch and removed his diamond ring from his finger. Ten days later he mot Mary Mona ghan at the Duryea station. She said she -was going to Scranton to avoid meeting Detective Johnson nnd Ser geant Kline, of Wllkes-Barre She sent word to them that she was sick, but they insisted on coming, sx sho decided to go to Scranton. He In quired her reason for doing so and, al though It was their second meeting nnd she know he was an ofllcer, sho told him that she was afraid she might say somethlns that would convict her and her brothers. Seidman then desctlbcd visits he paid to her at the house of friends In West Scranton with the Wllkes-Barre oincers, and finally of Inducing her to go to Wllkes-Barre to Identify prison ers who he said were under arrest there. SHE IDENTIFIED ONE. At Wllkea-Barro she waa confronted by four men who were nald to be under arrest and she Identified ono of them as being In Corcoran's on the night of the kllllng.The men wero not under arrest and the whole matter was mere ly a test. Seidman told MIbs Monaghan that tho district attorney had request ed her presence In Wllkes-Barre, but lie admitted on the stand today that he told her a He. The district attor ney made no such request. After the Identification, Seidman took Miss Monaghan to the district at torney's ofllco for a conference with Mr. Martin. Ho did not see her again until thlB afternoon One week ago last Saturday- ho. was walking on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western track south of the Dur yea station nnd met "Dl" Williams. They were not acquainted, though each know who tho other was. They had never exchanged words of any I kind. Wllllamo addreosed a remark to I him and ho stopped and they began to I ...iu WK.. r. .. ,... . Mn.iMM..n In a general way. Williams was not entirely eobcr. After a littlo Judicious leading up to tho subject, Williams told him that on the night of tho murder ho met John anil Tom Monaghan, Clark nnd Langnn outside of Coicoran's hotel Tom nald Corcoran had a lit and Invited him to go In with them. Ho agreed and they went around to tho rear of the house, Mary admitting them. AVhcn Inside, they took oft their shoos and when Wllllnms Inquired why this wns done they paid they did not want to awaken Corcoran. Then they pro ceeded to thu room where the killing wns done. THE FATAL SHOT When they entered the room Corcor nn waa lying on tho bed nnd Tom put his hand to his hip pocket nnd Mary said: 'Tor God sake, Tom, don't shoot him, I'm sorry enough for what I ve dono already." Not heeding this Tom draw his tovolvcr and llrcd, killing Corcoran. Then they rorced open thu snfc and took everything It contained, as welt ns Corcoian's watch and ling. Williams refused to accept nny of the plunder. They secured ropes from the yurd, tied Maty and Corcoran, dented, the door with ti hammer nnd then left tho building, Williams going home nnd the others in the direction of West Plttston. Such wns Williams' alleged confes sion, as lepeated by Zeldman. The diamond ring. Seidman paid, was given by Thomas Monaghan to Mary, and bv her to 'Squire Ollboy. An effort was made by Tom to sell tho watch to J. Summers, of Old Forge. Soldman said ho had subpoenaed Summers, but he was rot present. Seidman was eiOFS-exntnliu d at length by Attoiney John F. Shea, but aside from throwing ome ltdlculous side lights on the detective's state ments he did not shake Seldman's testimony. Ho said ho made an ex amination of the exterior ot the Cor coran house wheie It was alleged tho bmglars entered but found no maiks of any kind to show that foice was used. After Williams made hl confession, Seidman say a, he begged him for God's sake to got him woik ot some kind ns he wanted to le-ne tho "Willie" ganfT. Manv times In his Mory Seidman re fened to Mnrllu MofTltt, who worked In Corcoran's and who furnished Peld min with mniil of the rumois to which the detective testified at length NELLIE MURPHY'S STORY. Nellie Murphy, the 13-year-okl girl who was aslei p on the second tloor of thu hotel on tne night of the mutdcr, tc stilled that Maty Monaghan and Cor coran did not (iua.11 el and that Maty did not teem to be affected by the an nouncement that Core 01 an was to bo mauled about Christmas Maty told her about tin .ipproaeMng matilago biu did nut make any comment. Nellie went into Mnry's 100m, an ad joining 100111, Immediately after nhe was told of tin1 minder and saw that the bed had bien occupied Mr Mar tin tried to get her to admit that sho mUht hove been dtugged nnd for that :eason did not heir the noise of the shot or explosion, but was unsuccess ful. Nellie saw Thomas Monaghan and Michael McGiath lu tho hotel on the night of the muider. but Coicoian was ucross the in id In the postofllee nt the I time. Sho heard Mary Monaghan say tliet the burglars had taken C01 cut-in's "dlamord rlmj and nerythlng" 'Squire J. R Clilbii of Dm yea testi fied that he was nt Corcoran's soon nf- , ter the killing and lotind Mury Mona ghan In such an excited and oer- 'wiought condition that he had to send for her telalles to take care of her. I The whole family came John and Tom looked as If they Just got out of J bed John wan somewhat Intoxicated. Three persons told him they saw the I diamond ring on Corcoian's finger af- I ter death On the day alter the funer nl Mary Monacjhnn g.if him the ring. 'She paid that when her biother Tom I came to the hotel In ioponPo to the 'Squlto's summons, the told him to take I the ling off the dead man's flnget He did so and gave It to her. Sho placed It In hei stocking and foigot about It until after the funeral foi the leason that Phe did not take her stockings off. MiF3 Corcoran was then called. Her testimony Is given nbove fter the heating Williams told me that theie wip not the slightest foun dation for tho confession testified to by Seidman. He denied that he ever had nny such conversa tion with him, or ever made state ments In nny way lesembllng those that Seidman swore to when on the stand. Wllllamo was taken to Jail with the other defendants. District Attorney Mai tin would not say anything about tho charncter of the evidence he hopes to present to morrow night. Hla manner was that of a man not at nil satisfied with the case. J. F. Mitchell. MISS MONAGHAN CONFESSES. Says She and Ono Brother Were Pres ent When Corcoran Was Killed.

"This confession was a verbal ono, was totally unsolicited and was made at tho Jail yesterday to a county offic ial w hoso name Is not mado known for certain reasons. "The official saw her at tho Jail and In a talk with her learned her dreadful secret.
