]gr. Blackwell,. of W alen's Corner
in liiddulph, being sworn said to Mr,
Macmahon— 1 live at Whalen's Corn-
ers, iu BiddulV}h; I ani Wm. D'innelly'i
neighbor.' so nth of his house; I reool•
lent the night debn Donnelly was killed;
l heard shots during the night; I heard
one first so loud it seemed to be out o
a gun; I heard five or six afterwards
veered to mo to be j uet the same report
would not swear positively there wa
one gun or two, so near I could not tel
the difference; right after the first silo
I heard the other ones to the numbe
of five or six; they appeared to be from
a revolver; after 1 heard thein I got u
and went to the window, and saw th
reflection of a fire in the direotien o
the old Donnelly place; did not look to
wards Wm. Deune]ly's house; it was
behind my window; did not look to see
if there wets any parties about: my wif
and myself and sister in-law all looked
out and saw the fire; the shots I heard
seamed to he in the space between my
Louie and Daunelly's;;first heard of the
murder in. the morning; when Win
Dannelly came to my house be said
"Ain't this vice work? they have killed
my brother Jaclk;" I says, "Who clone
it?" he said, 't'lhey done it," and asked
me if I heard the shots; told him I dill;
we then went in and looked at John; he
was lying dead in William's bedroom;
lie was shot iu the breast; looked where
the ball weut into the wall, on the north
side of the building, nearly opposite the.
kitchen door; I did not see the bullet
till afterwards; we went to the stable
after daylight; seen a good few tracks
it] oitt the honee; seen tracks up to
William's bedroom window; not agreat
entiny to 'William's window; observed
tracks to all the windows; the Show WAS
tracked quite a bit back of the workshop
and el tewhere; the tracks were tach as
fifteen or twenty men might make about,
the house; I did not like to get up or
mix in it; I thought it was some rum-
pus amongst them; I was also afraid of
them shooting through my house; I
thought constables were making arresttt,
and that the shooting was going on on.
that- account; I did not want to be crat-
ed as a witness; when Donnelly filet
r sift to my house it tvas not dityli•,ht;
ire wanted to go and see if his stallion
was L-iiled I said, "Don't go un,il day
light." When 1 told William 1 Raw a
fire in the direction of hie father's ph ee
ke said they wt r) all burned up; saw
Donnelly start off ou his pony in the
direction' of Keefe's; think he called on
Walker, but can't say whether it was
going to Koefe'e; he went into Walker's
gaming back. the tracks were partially
obliterated by snow fal!irig; the whitlow.
was • frosted where I was looking
through; could not tell whether it was
snowing or not; I saw a mark of an
overshoe where it crossed over the
fat c, ; I carne to tho conclusion who
ever made that impression was wearing
an overshoe; there was a work -shop
etas& to the concession line; there were
tracks behind it and all aronutl there;
1 thiole I pointed out these trucks to
Donnelly; I spoke of theist. anyway, to
warn; do not remember whether D•.�n-
nelly was with me or not; saw no other
ltnpresslans of an overshoe anywhere
else; sate no tracks across the platform
of the well; saw tracks around my own
tonse; it was trae'lced all armird the
snide side of the woodshed; did not go
out nn the rand; .saw tracks inside the
ma]I' path; I noticed tracks leading'

P.
Martin :Slogan, of I3iddttlph, being
sworn, said as folio -we in answer to the
Coroner:—I recollect the flight on
which John Donnelly was killed; I was
at Win. Donnelly's thab night; there
were William sad 1Trs. Donnelly, my.
self and John Donnelly; \Vm. Donnel-
ly .went in and showed Inc and John the
roam we were to sleep in; Airs. Donnel-
ly INA gone to bed some time before I
dill; I went 'to bed about half -past
twelve o'clock with John Donnelly;
and chatted a while after we welt to
bed; we slept till about 2 or 2.80 o'clock
about 2 1 guess; after John being deal
I heard what time it was; John awoke
ins by getting out of the bed; tiro next
thing he went through Will's room, and
he said 'Who's that hallooing fire ?' ar
he went out; no answer waa meats tha
I hoard; as he went through I heard cn
outside bolloa to Will to open the door
John then opened the door, and two
reports of a gun went off as close ss
possible together ; next John says,
'Will, I ani phot,"'1'he Tetrd have
mercy on my soul;' a little after the
two shots cat of the gun I beard a re-
port of revolvers; I would say four or
five shots, maybe more, maybe lose.
passing around the window whore I
was sleeping towards the. gate; Will
then called to me easy to get np, that
John was shot; I :.nswered him back
and told him to keep quiet tis tow as
possible, so pis to bo heard by hhtn; the
reason I spoke so low was because 1
was afraid Wiry would carne back if
they found out he was not killed; got
up. about the time John was shot; I
think I had my feet on the floor when
the guns wont off; just sat on , the side
of the bed; I sat there about two or
three initiates, and when 1 gait ei-p I
went from there through William's
room to bring iu John; when -
nailed me he said John was sl'iot; I told
him in reply to keep genet; did not see
William as 1 passed title-It/eh his »room
into the kitchen; where I found John
dead, and brought him iuto William's
room; Mrs. Donnelly was up, and luta
the light lit before I went in; after be
was bronglrt in Will told Mrs. Donnel-
ly to gut a piece of blessed canal/ ; she
got it and pat it in his hand, and 1 held
it there until he died; 1 remained part-
ly ander the foot of William's bed; I
iltttyets there, becsuse I was afraid; I
retnainod there until . morning; after
John died William asked Mrs. Dothnel-
ly to look at the clock; she looked, and
answered back it was b.t'.f.past two;
Wile') we got tip William went to look
at the traelce; he said thab was the
Society's doings; ,1 told him to keel)
quiet and anything he had to say to
keep it to himself; 1 said so because I
did not true to lcnow athytbing shoat
