THE KILLING OF QUINLAN
AnAlibi Claimed for Ilim by Those Who
Saw Him the Sight of the Kobbery.
It Is Said lie Made So Confession as to His
Participation in That Crime The Tes
timony Before the Coroner.
The killing of Edward Qninlan, who was
trying to escape from policemen sent out
to search for the highwaymen who robbed
J. W. Wise an hour or two before, Thurs
day night, was talked about a great deal
yesterday. Wise remains firm in tho con
viction that Qninlan was one of the rob
bers who held him up on the New York
street bridge. "I cannot be mistaken,"
said he, yesterday, "for the muzzle of the
cocked revolver pressed against my cheek,
the scar on which was still visible this
morning, mado me keep my eyes on tba
man holding the weapon. The moon
was shining brightly, and I had a
full view of him. The foot-pad
resembled Qninlan in face and dress.
When I saw Quinlan get off the train I
called to Captain Camphell, 'There is one
of them,1 and at this he started and ran.
When I walked up to him after ho was
shot, I said to him, Ton aro one of them,'
and he said, ' What did you shoot mo or;
for robbery!' Ho seemed to know what he
was wanted for, and I will declare under
oath that he is one of the four who robbed
me."
The story that Qninlan had confessed to
the robbery, it is claimed, is not true. It
is said such a statement was likely to grow
out of the fact that a priest was called to
hear his dying confession for absolution.
The paragraph in an evening paper, which
made Father Cnrran 6ay that Quinlan
made no confession of the robbery, was
ridiculed by Catholics, who said the priest
would divulge nothing, one way or the
other, received from the lips of a dying man.
lie conld not allow anyone but himself to
hear the confession, aud before receiving
Quinlan's last words. Father Curran re
quested Captain Campbell, Dr. Hodges
and Sergeant Clifford, who had arrived
after the shooting, to step out of the room.
Merchant policeman Washington Smith
yesterday asked the priest whether Quin
lan had made a statement regarding the
robbery, but received no reply. What
Quinlan said is forever locked up in the
bosom of the priest.
The feeling among the policemen is one
of regret at the outcome of the a flair, but
the fullest investigation they say. is de
sired on theirpart. The men feel tney were
in the line of their duty in doing as they
did, and are maintaining a patient silence
under criticism. Quintan's friends are at
tempting to prove an alibi, to the effect
that ho was at home at the time of the rob
bery. His reputation has been bad for
years, and a warrant was out for his arrest
ou a charge of assault and battery at the
time of his death.
Coroner Wagner began his investigation
of the case yesterday, but probably will
not finish it before the early part of next
week. The testimony of the witnesses ex
amined thus far throws but little light
npon the identity of Quinlan as ono of the
ang who held up Mr. Wise. Patrick
oyle, a cousin of Quinlan, and living at
124 English avenno, stated that he went
home Thursday night before 11 o'clock, and
when he asked for Eddie, as he called him,
his mother told him that he was still at
home. He did not see biro, however.
Michael Qninlan, a brother of the man
who was killed, told a long story. "I went
homo Thursday ni ght," he said, at 9 o'clock,
and Edward was lying on the lounge
asleep. I lay down on the lloor alongside
of the lounge. At 11 o'clock I got up aud
went to bed, at which time Edward was
still lying on the lounge asleep. This was
the last I- saw of him until this morning,
when I saw him dead. Edward had been
firing on the Midland road. He came home
yesterday morning, at 4 o'clock, to draw his
money from the Big Four company, for
which he used to work, and was to leave at
11 o'clock, but mother neglected to call
him. He started to go to the Uig Four
shops to catch tho freight to Leb
anon, whero he was working, but he
came back and said he was too
late, and that he would go
down and catch the mail train.
He ran from the o Hie era because there is a
warrant out for hitn for assault and bat
tery, committed three months ago. Edward
was arrested at that time, and appeared bo
fore the. 'squire, but the case was post
poned, father going on his appearance
bond, bnt when the case was called again
he did not appear. He said. Thursday
night, that he felt cold, and believed ho
would not co to Lebanon until morning,
but mother told bim to go so he would be
in . time for work to-day. Mother tells mo
he left the house just ns the shop bell rang
at 12 o'clock, midnight."
Dr. Hodges, police surgeon, was next ex
amined, lie eaw,(uiulan soon after he was
tiken into the undertaker's place, he said,
and upon investigation ho saw that the
bullet had entered under the right scapula.
In regard to any confession the dying man
may have made the Doctor said: "There
was not made in my presence any confession
by Qninlan that he had been one of the as
sailants of Wise. He was conscious when
I reached bim, and I remained with him
until he died'
Mary Quinlan, the mother of Edward,
showed signs of deep grief as she told her
story to tho coroner. She testified
to having seen her son at mid
night standing at a rear gate that
leads from her yard to Dillon street. She
bade him good-bye, she said, and he went to
ward tho Big Four shops, she watching him
until he was nearly two blocks away. Her
son. she said, had always shown a great fear
of patrolmen Hines and Walters Cath
erine Qninlan. her danghter, saw Edward at
home at 8 o'clock, hut she spent Hhe even
ing at a ball end conld rgt testify as to tho
timo he left the' house. Mrs. Susan A.
Gill, of No. 110 English avenue,
testified that about Vi o'clock she
was awakened by noises in Qninlan's bacK
yard, which, she said, sounded very much
as if some one was walking to the rear
gate. The timo corresponded with that at
which Mrs. Quinlan claimed she left her
son.
Coroner Wagner is m doubt as to what
the outcome of the investigation will be.
It is oue of the most puzzling cases I have
ever handled," he said to a Journal re-
Eorter. "Mrs. Quinlan goes into details in
er story, which, if they are to
be believed, would seem to show that
her son was at home when Mr. Wise claims
he was robbed. But of all the witnesses I
examined she is the only one who says she
saw him at home at midnight. There were
two girls at the bouse at 10 o'clock, bnt
neither of them saw him. The train on
which Quinlan was riding was No. 3, with
engine rn'o. 172. The engineer of the train
was Timothy Bassett, and he says when he
was taking his engine from the yards to the
Union Station Quinlan did not get on.
Now, the question is, how did he get to the
Union Station, leaving home at midnight
to catch a train that left there twenty
minutes laterf He had to go several
squares, and either went on a 'pony-engine
or walked."
"Did 3ou make a post-mortem examina
tion to-day T" asked the n-porter.
"Yes: Dr. Frink and I held an autopsy,
but failed to find tho ball. It entered un
der tho right shoulder-blade, pierced tho
lower lobe of tho right lung, struck the
sternum in front and deflected, piercing
the liver. Here we lost all trace of the bul
let. My verdict, however, will be that
death resulted from internal hemorrhage."

While tho people of this city are congrat
ulating themselves upon the advantages
of natural g& it may bo a comfort to some
to learn that the local coal-dealers have
formed a pool for tho purpose of lowering
prices. The agreement, which was signed
Thursday and which went into effect yes
terday, affects only the trade in coke, on
which a cut of &b cents on the load has
been made. "How long this redaction will
last is more than I know." said E. E. Pray
to a reporter yesterday, "for. of course, our
plans may be changed by unforeseen cir
cumstances." 'Will there be much coal used in private
houses here this winter?" he was asked.
"It looks now as if there will, for there is
a great deal being stored away. A load or
two of coal, you know, might come handy,
if the snpply of gas should decrease oriaiL"

preached at Fond du Lac, Wis., in the First
Presbyterian Church of that city, to the
con gTegation recently served by Rev. Joseph
A. Milburn, of the Second Presbyterian,

Baltzly has returned with this call in his

has held tho pastorate of his present charge
nine years, and has never held any other.
The call from the church at Fond du Lac is
a very flattering one and opens a new and

vigorous man like Mr. Baltzly, who is not
wholly without ambition. '

AMUSEMENTS.
GRAND OrERA-IIOUSE "CITY DIRECTORY."
No theatrical season in Indianapolis has
ever opened more anspicionsly than the
present one, which began last night at the
Grand Upera-house. The audience was in
the best of humor, bad come prepared for
an evening of laughter, and there was no
disappointment. The house was filled with
people, from the ceiling to tho floor, and
a considerable number were standing.
The attraction was the presentation by
Rnssell'a comedians of Paul Potter's mu-'
sical absurdity, "The City Directory,"!
which has had a long run and mado a great,
hit in New York at the Bijou Theater. So
far as the name is concerned this three-act
farce-comedy might as well be called any
thing else, bnt as the author alleges
it to have been "constructed for laughing
purposes only" no one can truthfully say
that it does not meet every requirement in
that lino, for it bubbles with wit and riots
in the quaintest quips and fancies, all of
which have the merit of possessing the most
audacious and mirth-provoking novelty.
As to music, it is full of it, and of every
variety, from the sentimental and pathetic
to the most catchy and rollicking topical
eongs that can be imagined songs that
6tick in one's memory, and tbat one bums
and whistles in spite ot himself. Of
the dancing there is plenty, and
of a popular character, while Miss
Amelia Glover is graceful and beautiful,
and as artistic in her posing as any premier
danseuse upon the Americau stage. The
people taking part in "The City Directory"
are among the befit known comedians in the
country, among whom are Charles Reed,
William Collier. Ignacio Martinetti, Win.
F. Mack. Bessie Cleveland, Josie Sadler and
Mayra Kelso. Miss May Irwin was ap
plauded to the echo in a specially catchy
song, and Burt Haverly gave an inimitable
musical presentation of a son of Italy.
There will be the usual matinee, the engage
ment closing with a performance this even
ing. Thero will be no advauce in the matinee
prices.
THE PARK THEATER.
The Morris company will conclude a very
successful engagement at tho Park Theater
to-night, playing "A Legal Wrong" this
afternoon and evening. The first half of
the coming week the Howe-Sisson Comedy
Company will present "Wild Oats," and
will be followed by James A. Heme in
"Hearts of Oak," the latter's engagement
lilling out the week.
Ouly Six Accepted.
Major Randal, the recruiting officer at
this point, says there are a good many ap
plications for admission into the United
States array. The requirements, however,
are so strict that of sixty-one who, during
tho month of August, offered themselves to
wear the blue only six were accepted.

WABASH AND ERIE BONDS.
A Citizen of France Brings Suit to Recover
Money Due Him from the State.
Jean Baptiste Maurice da Coetlosquet. a
resident of Paris, France, brought suit iu
the Superior Court, yesterday, against
Auditor of State Bruce Carr and Treasurer
of State J. A. Leincke, to compel the pay
ment of some bonds said to bo past due.
The complaint is voluminous, and 'states
that in May, 1852, the State of Indiana de
livered to the plaintiff $10,000 worth of fivo-per-cent
bonds, tho money having been
loaned to complete the old Wabash and
Erie canal. The bonds and interest were
payable semi-annually on the first day of
each January aud July, and redeemable at
any time after twenty years from Jan. 1.
1640. The interest which accrued prior to
Sept. 1, 1S70, has been paid, but since that
time it is still due Ou Jan. 6, 1883, it is
further stated, a Board of State Debt Siuk
ing Fund Commissioners was organized in
this city to pay bonds. This board re
deemed and canceled the outstand- '
ing bonds and stocks, aud determined
to pay all the bonds in futl in the order of
their presentation, for the reasons that
there would probably not be more pre
sented than could be paid in full with the
money on hand and because it would savo
the labor and delay of issuing certificates for
an unpaid balance.
Under this determination, the plaintiff
claims, these bonds and the war loan
bonds, wherever they could be found, were
redeemed without reference to notice of
surrender given as is required by law. At
a meeting in this city, in 1S70. tho board
further decided that the estimated amount
of f nnds that would be at the disposal of
tho hoard would be more than enough to
pay and redeem the whole indebtedness of
the State represented by the bonds, and or
dered that notice to this effect be
niven through the New York Tribune, tho
New York Times, tho Indianapolis Journal
and the Sentinel. Subsequently the board
adopted and entered of record without legal
right, it Is claimed, an order to stop the
payment of interest. The amount of five-percent,
bond principal outstanding and un
paid at the close of tho fiscal year. Oct. SI,
1ST0. was S249.t10., but during tho ensuing
year $200.k50 was paid in full and redeemed
upon presentation of the bonds, leaving a
balance of S4S,3;'J.OD due. During 1872 $15.
,r00 was paid, leaving a balance of $o2.fcMU.l)9,
which amount, together with the S4.000.13
principal of two-and-a-half-per-cent. bonds,
was still unpaid on Dec. 13. 1872.
At this time, the plaintiff alleges, $14,
AtvxVJ is due on the principal of tho five-percent.,
and $2,145.13 on the two-and-a
half-per-ceut. bonds. The Legislature
of 1S71 stopped the payment of in
terest on these bonds, but the plaintiff
claims that he received no notice
to that effect. He insists that the acts of
the sinking fund board were illegal, and
claims that the State of Indiana, having
refused to pav aud redeem the bonds, is not
now in a condition to resist the payment of
interest, and is in no better position than
if no action or attempt had ever been made
to stop the same, lie asks for a writ of
mandate to compel the defendants to re
store to him the full amount of the princi
pal and interest said to be due. The total
is something like :i5,000.
CULL1NGS FROM THE COURTS.
Judge Grenham Hears Intervening Petitions
In a Water-Works Case.
Judge Gre8ham, in the United States Cir
cuit Court here, yesterday, heard argu
ments in the intervening petition of James
B. Clow & Son against the Crawfordsville
Water-works Company for 4,015.19, al
leged to be due on pipe sold by them to de
fendants. Kennedy & Son, of Crawfords
ville, appeared for the plaintiffs, who had
obtained a judgment against the water
works company after tho execution
of the' mortgage held by the
American Loan and Trust Company
of New York. The attorneys hold that the
mortgage is void, as there is no statute au
thorizing the Water-works Company to
execute such a mortgage, and claim if that
position is not sound their clients should be
paid in equity by the bondholders. The
judge took the case under advisement.
Another intervening petition in a suit for
damages for the destruction of a grain
elevator was ordered briefed. The com
plaint is that the receiver of tho Water
works Company was responsible for the
loss by fire, as the water protection was
not of the kind provided for in their
charter.

LABOR UNION MATTERS.
The Brick-Layers Refuse to Continue the
Gruelle Case Before the Special Committee.
Last night was the time set to investi
gate the charges made against T. M. Gru
elle, president of the Central Labor Union,
by Brick-layers' Union, No. 3. The com
plaint is that Mr. Grnclle agreed to furnish
a number of labor votes in the event of the
nomination by the Republicans of certain
candidates. The first charge was made
against the trades-union Labor day com
mittee, and was in substance that the dem
onstration of Monday next was being man
ipulated for political ellect Mr. Gruelle,
a member of the committe, submitted a
resolution requesting the brick-layers to
withdraw the accusation against the entire
committee and make specitio charges
against any or all individuals who might
be conuected with the wrong alleged by
the brick-layers, and that a committee of
five be appointed to investigate. The com
mittee repaired to Brick-layers' Hall on
Friday night of lust week to take evidence,
and found that union had also appointed
a committee. The original committee re
fused to act with the wt ond.aud lant Sun
day the matter was settled by permitting
Mr. Gruelle, as well as tho brick-layers,
to name five men on the investigating com
mittee, making fifteen in all. Last night
Mr. Gruelle aud fifteen witnesses were on
hand, but the brick-layers witnesses were
absent. Their representative stated that
the union had positively forbidden its mem
bers to testify before the committee as con
stituted, and as a consequence no one was
present to give testimony in support of the
charges. Mr. Gruelle stood firmly by his
right, and the result was no investigation
at all. That gentlemau then proposed to
meet Messrs. Dugan and Harrison, of the
brick-layers, next Monday and agree on a
committee to investigate the matter. This
practically takes tho matter out of tho
hands of the demonstration committee.
Mr. Gruelle has prepared an answer to the
brick-layers' charges, in which personal
malice aud political prejudices are alleged.
Musicians Out of Work.
The union musicians have now an addl
tipnil grievance, they say, against Managers
Dickson and Talbot, in tbat they not only
refuse to agree to tho union scale, but have
brought musicians from other cities, and
are paying them even higher wages than
the scale calls for. The orchestra at the
Grand Opera-house last night contained
live players from Dayton, who arrived yes
terday, and are registered at the Occident
al as L. E. Moore, Frank Scott, L. Howe,
R. Mitchell and Charles Mayer. To the lo
cal union men they said they were to re
ceive $16 per week. They also said they
knew nothing of a difference on the part of
the union with the managers before com
ing here. The union musicians aro idle
and awaiting developments.
