points that made the case decidely the
most interesting of the present session.
Mr, Emmons, la opening for the defence,
stated that he would show that the Hag
gerty's were enemies of the Young
family and that the entire charge
'a ^fabrication, that an alibi
would be proved aud that the evidence
bad been manufactured.
Mrs. Maggie Horton, who lives in the
house adjoining that of the Haggertys,
swore that through a hole In the wall,
she heard the Haggertys instructing the
child as to what to say on the witness
stand. T.'- Is was on August 31. She
swore that she beard the entire conver
sat ion distinctly and could not have mis
understood it. She also testified to bear
ing conversations between the parents
and the child on the same subject on

Young's Defence.
When this morning s session ope'ied
tbe cross examination of Mrs. Horton,
for the defence, was begun. She swore
that on the days that she overheard the
conversations through the hole in the
w*11. the Haggerty parents were bribing
toe child by inducements of peanuts
and candy. She recognized the child's
voice because she had become familiar
with it by hearing the child at play on
the streets. She heard on September 16,
Mrs Haggerty say that tbechild must say
■ It was on Monday, Thursday and Sat
urday evenings," Haggeity said, "Why,
you old b-, you know that he is not
at home on those evenings." She heard
Mrs. Haggerty talking to the child, aud
whenever the child would make a reply,
she would say "Now are you
tell the man that? This the chi
answer with a sob and "yes, mem " Mr.
Biggs got the the witness confused about
dates, but she stuck to her first story.
William Seeberg, a brother of Mrs.
Horton, testified that ou Tuesday even
ing, August 25, he heard the voices of a
man, woman and child, which be after
wards found out to be Haggerty, his
wife and child. Haggerty said "1*11
get even with Young, and if we do not
win our case,I'll mark thatman." Then he
spoke harshly to the child. The child cried
aud said something which he could not
understand The woman then said:
■ That's right, now you tell it to that
ma j in the court room that way. " The
child continued to sob violently and
answered "yes" ,to the woman's ques
tions which were asked in an undertone.
He was positive that the voices In the
kitchen were those of the Haggertys
Detectives Hawkins aud Hatton both
testified to being present and near the
child at the hearing before Judge Ball.
Mr. Emmons asked the child if her
mother had not threatened to whip her.
She replied' yes sir." She also replied that
her mother had threatened to do this
several times. Mr. Biggs endeavored to
show that this threat had been made to
the child only a short time before the
hearing, because it had broken some
thiug about the house. He also quest
' ioned the witness as to whether tbs
child was not; confused and frightened
by Mr. Emmons and was saying "yes" to
«uwfhinrr liA
In examining the witnesses, Mr.Emmons
was repeatedly interrupted by tbe attor
ney-general and the court ruled with the
latter. Both attorneys said very sharp
things to and about each other, and the
legal tilts formed an interesting part of
the case.
Mr. Emmons called Architect Frank
R Carswell to the stand to testify to an
examination that he had made of the
premises of Haggerty and Young. Mr.
Biggs announced thaï; the jury had de
cided to go out to the houses and exam
ine for themselves. Mr. Emmons
argued stoutly for his rights in produc
ing the witness. The court ruled that
Carswell could testify,
Then began lively tilt between Mr.
Biggs aud the witness", who talked
about what be had seen in the other
houses near the ones in question, and
that, through a four inch wall, conversa
tions or the sound of voices could be
transmitted by inductions. Mr. Biggs
objected, in' loud terms, to hearing such
testimonr< "This man, 'he said,'Is not
an expert, but is here giving us a lecture
on induction and the transmitting of
sounds."
"That Is unfair and you know It," re
torted the wltaeas, "I'd have you
stand, Mr Biggs, that I did not come
here to be tres'ed in this manner I wzs
asked, as a matter of business, to go to
these houses and investigate this. Mr.
Emmons now a&ks me to tell wuat I as*
certaiued there and 1 have done so, to
the best of my knowledge/*
The witness was allowed to retire and
several other witnesses were called to
repeat ths statements made at tbe
Municipal Court hearing, Mr.Emmons

The Twelve Countrymen on tbe Scene.
At 12 o'clock the jurymen left the box
and entered cabs that were awaiting in
front of the Court House. They then
proceeded to the homes of Yonng and
Haggerty to ascertain how easily a con
versation could be heard in the two
buildings. They remained at the houses
about half an hour, after which they re
turned to tbe Court House and then got
their dinners.
Before court adjourned, Mr. Emmons
asked to call several witnesses te testify
to Young s character, but he was In
formed that this could be done when
court re convened at 2.30 o'clock.

M'AfHORTER AND Hip INSURANCE.
Bellas Entered tub Against tbe New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Clerk of the Orphan's Court Charles H.
McWhorter has sued the New York Mu
tual Life Insurance Cmpany for *400 for
an 1889 policy, and $2,000
lost time for insurance He claims
that while he paid for an en
dowment policy, the company issued
him a straight line policy. He objected
to it and was given a fifteen years distri
bution policy. Be is represented by Hon.
Charles B. Lore.
What H. C. Carpenter Say..
Henry C. Carpenter, general agent of
the New York Mutual Life Insurance
Company gave the following version of
tbe effair this morning
"Tbe statement in the Morning News
is all wrong. It makes It appear that we
are as bad as the wild oats men, and
kindred swindlers. Mr. McCormick, an
agent of the company, came here from
Philadelphia, He wrote Mr, McW horler a
policy in tbe Mntna] Life. , I suppose it
was tbe kind of policy he asked for. In
cidentally I called at McWhorter's office
sometime afterwards, not knowing that
he bad a policy iu oar company. The
subject of Insurance was brought up by
me. He said be had already a policy iu
the Mutual Life, which he took at the
solicitation of Mr. McCormick, a friend
of bis.
further
here and saw him frequently, and Mr.
McCormick lived in Philadelphia, he did
not give me the application for tbe lusur
ar.ee. His reply was that he did not think
of my being in the business. He knew
Mac', as be called him. He asked him
to take some insurance and he did so.
Afterwards in looking over the policy
I inquired of him why he did not take a
frfteeen payment policy instead of the
one he had, which was an ordinary fifteen
years distribution. He said that ha did
not know. He gave no special reason,
to explain to
him the difference. I told him that
of coarse in the fifteen payment policy
his payments would cease absolutely in
fifteen years: that tbe reserve was
greater, and he would consequently de
rive a larger profit if he should live and
want to use any of the money himself.
1 went into a full explanation and he
asked me if <t were possible to have tbe
policy changed I told him 1 would see
abou t It, an d 1s t him know in a
called again
in a day or two. He said he had not
much time to think about it, bnt felt in
clined to change the policy. I told him 1
would call again I did so and he said
be would make tbe change I
told him it would be
for him to make another application
and have another examination. Tbe ap
plication was made and the policy
delivered. He was credited for wh
had paid on the first policy, and paid
the difference. which
small amount. He accepted the policy
and everything eeemed to be satisfactory
until another agent at the end of the
year, in endeavoring to get
him to take a policy in bis
company, by misrepresentations
made Mr. McWhorter dissatisfied and be
did not par any further premiums
on it Of course the poliey
took the course of pother policies
Be complained to the company
aud was offered a regular endowment
policy, but he could not get that
wit hout paying endowment rates. This he
declined to do. and be insisted on an en
dowment poliey at the limited payment
rates. He could not get it and tbere the
matter has rested since that time. He
has paid no more premiums. Of course
the policy lapsed for non payment of
premiums.'
