rds, close to the back door
of the Carlson cottage; when she got on Roscoe street she saw the
man there. The question arises, was not that Patrick O'Sullivan?
and so supper is belated, and we have an attempt to show that he
was not out of the house. Mulcahey says that he was out of the yard
between 8 and 8:30 o'clock. I don't know anything about Mulcahey's
conduct or whereabouts that evening except what he told us. He was
O'Sullivan's bed-fellow, and his bed-fellow from the first night
that he arrived from those regions in Pennsylvania that have become
celebrated for crimes of this nature."

"I object and except to those remarks," cried Mr. Donahoe, angrily.

"You know the Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania," continued Mr. Hynes,
"down in that notorious valley."

"I don't think," remarked Judge McConnell, in a mildly
expostulating tone, "that we ought to refer to that, or draw any
inference from it."

"I think," responded Mr. Hynes, "I have a right to speak about the
locality from where a party comes, but I bow to your honor's
suggestion in the matter. At any rate, gentlemen of the jury, I can
argue from dates. He arrived here on the 3d of April, but on your
honor's suggestion I withdraw anything of that kind and wish the
jury not to consider it. It is not a thing I should refer to,
according to his honor's suggestion, and I don't want you to
consider it, but consider this, that Mulcahey was the first to
arrive on the scene here. Knight came afterward; Brennan came
afterward; I don't know when Boyington began to appear there, but
three men came to O'Sullivan's after Mulcahey arrived. He was not
working for O'Sullivan but he was taken right into O'Sullivan's own
room. Mulcahey says he was out about 8 or half past 8 o'clock. He
does not say he was out himself; I don't know whether he was or
not, but he says O'Sullivan was out in the yard about that time. It
was dark at eight o'clock on the 4th of May; that is, I mean it was
night, and as dark as it can be with the stars shining and a
quarter moon. The moon went down about 11 o'clock that night. It
was off in the southwest, nearly south at that hour. It was shining
in on the south side of the Carlson cottage. There was a man there.
They didn't know whether they had been seen or recognized or not.
