Xearly the whole day yesterday was occupied at the Clauey inque.st in reviewing the previons testimony. Before tJie supper time recess only one new witness was examiued. He was Michael Hay es the attendant at tlie poorhouse who had charge of Frank Clancy while lie was there. He told of Claticy's frequently repeating tlie name Boyle just before he died. The reraainder of his story iias been told by others. William Patrick Boyle, having arrived from Hartford City, Indiana, was put on the stand after the supper-tinie adjournment. He detailed his wanderings from one place to another. Por about a year lie was employed in the paper mili at Geddes. Became personally acquainted with Frank Claucy about a year ago, but has known Mrs. Bdith Clancy since lier sixth year. Admitted tliat she had sometimes sat on his lap but thonght this in nowise improper in view of their long friendship. Boyle and Clancy were usually on the best of terms, Hasenack and others at times poisoning Claucy's mind against him. He told how late in June he had visited Detroit, Windsor and Toledo in search of work, at the latter place finding a jou in an elevator. I-Iere Mrs. Edith Clancy came to collect some nioney she had lent him. They lived together as man and wife in order to shield the woman, Boyle positively affirming that at no time had there been improper relations between them. Ilis story was in all essentials the saine as tliat told by her. He remembered telling lier about haring two fights, one with two Kalamazoo traveling men, and one with a man he first took for Clancy, but confessed that both stories were fabrications. He said he tried by them to put her on her guard, as there were several men who wished to molest her. He last saw Clancy June 21. His bruised hand was secured while at his work in the G. H. & D. elevator at Toledo. Af ter missing the train for Windsor on Saturday night Aug. 3, he returned to the Empire hotel and ocoupied his room the remainder of the night. His mate was an oíd man from Detroit. If he could be found he would vouch for it. After hearing Boyle's testimony the inquest was adjourned till today at 3 p. m. Yesterday's session was enlivened by the presence of Attorney O. E. Butterfleld who in bebalf of Mrs. Margaret Clancy and William Hasenack asked permission to cross-examine the witnesses. Both the coronor and the prosecuting attorney thought there had been entirely too much dirty unen washed duriog the inquest and Mr. Butterfleld's request vvas refused.
