The Clancy Inquest Over

Tlie examination of William Hasenack occupied considerable of the afternoon yesterday and with the testimony of Mrs. Edith Clancy attracted quite a crowd to the inquest. After the dinner adjournniont Mr. Uasenack showed considerable nervousness and became a trifle mixed in his story. He asked leave to withdraw his statement of the inorning that he had never made appointments with Mrs. Edith Clancy. He coufessed to numerous meetings with her- always at night. When asked the reasons for these clandestino meetings he refused to give theiu except that he liked the woman and wauted to talk about her husband. His character was darkened somewhat by the admissions he made with regard to his life at Kalamazoo, but his story in its entireity was very effective in relioving him from suspicion of complicity in Frank Clancy's death. Mrs. Frank Clancy was next put on the stand. She told how her husband had frequently pounded her, had forced her to support herself and had been drunk and brutal much of the time. She became his bride when but 15 years of age and says her whole life since has been made miserable by him. She told how Hasenack had pleaded with her to elope with him as soon as he had the widow's property, and how her husband and he were continually at swords pointe. She told of the progress of Hasenack's courtship to her mother-inlaw and how she flnally lost her household goods and home through no fault of her own. Then, she claimed, everyone tried to blacken her character. Boyle, whotn she had known and respected for many years, and her brother brother John Stevens, alone stood by her. She could get no work and was continually pestered by her husband, so she left Kalamazoo intending to go to Chicago. Boyle, then in Toledo, owed her $20 she had leut him, and to collect this she and her brother went to Toledo. There she went as the wile of Boyle, but neyer she swore, did she have iraproper relations with him or with any otlier man. Boyle visited her at Wlndsor Sunday, Autr. 4. His hands and neck were bruised and bleeding. Then he told her of his flght with the two Kalamazoo men. Sunday, August 18, he visited her again. This time he told of another fight. He thought it was with Frank Clancy at first, Imt later said it was with George Worden. Drs. Darling and Hale and Frank Bournes who had made the post-mortem examination, next gave their report. This has already been given Cowier readers and will not be repeated heTe. lr. Darling tliough it possihle that deatli was caused by a heavy blo'w on the neck with the fist. Frank Bournes also testified that Hasenack saw the body of Frank Clancy when he first visited the medical college. The evidence was with this turned over to the jury and the case rested. Adjournment was taken till Wednesday at Í a. m. when the verdict will probably be given. -
