Justice Spann held another session yester-
day of the down-the island Investigation. The
husband of the woman alleged to have been
assaulted continued his testimony, and occu-
pied the stand during the whole of the sitting
of the court.
The evidence adduced was as follows:
What colored horse was .)u lge Weyer riding? I
think it was a gray horse. 1) m't you remember?
It was a gray horse. Wli it colored hor.-te was Mr.
Allen riding? I think it was cither a hay or a sor-
rel horse. What was the color of your horse? It
was a bay horse, or ponv, as yon choose to call it,
about fifteen hands ni^h, a pacer. What did Mr.
Porter tell you? To the best of uiy knowledge ha
salii, well, let us see if he is around here, hut he
thought lie was in the Fair grounds, for there am
better hiding-places there than here. Did he tell
you that he nad seen any bodv of the description
of the man? No, he did not tell us anything. Did
you go into the Fair grounds on foot or horseback?
We divided the place, and tied our horses on the
outside. Were you armed, both or either of you?
No, I had nothing. Did Mr. Allen have anything?
Not that I know of. Did either of you tike ropes
in there when you went in? No, sir. How iong
were you in there? I think about an hour.
Did any one join you while in there? Ye*,
Who? Mr. Dirks and another young man whose
name I don't know. Did you Mftfoh tlie fair
grounds thoroughly ? Yes, as much as I could at
the best of my knowledge. Did you see Flechsig?
No. How long were you in there before Mr. Dirk*
toined you? I think three-quarters of an hour.
>id you continue the search after he joined you?
A portion of it, the houses and barns and out-
houses. When did you and Mr. Allen and Mr.
Dirks go there? I only joined Mi*. Dirks, Air. All n
was on the other end of the Fair grounds. How
long were you separated from Mr. Allen? About a
half hour. How long before you left there did you
and Mr. Allen get together again? 1 never met Mr.
Allen again In there un HI we got over the fence to
gether at our horses? Wa* Mr Wever there when
you got back to your horsna? Ye*, an<1 several
more, Mr. Owens, Mr. Iiahn, and Allen and
Mr. Porter. Now what time of day was this?
That must have been about, or a little after
after two. When you all got together, then what
did you dob I went home; I don't know what Mr.
Allen did. Mr. Owens and Hahn left us at tLie Fair
grounds. What made them leave? I don't know.
What, if anything, was said to Mr. Owens? Noth-
ing particular to my own knowledge. Did not Mr.
Allen say, Mr. Owens, we have no need of you, you
can go back to town? Yes, I believe there was a
remark made like that. Did he not speak to Judge
Wever and say, we, Judge, ha^e got no use for vou,
either? Yes, sir. Did Mr Owens ana Mr. Halm
then go back? I do not know where they went to.
Did Judge Weyer go away then? We were all
there on our horses, and then Mr. Weyer, Mr.
Allen and myself went home. When those re-
marks were made we were getting on our
horses. Were you all together on voui horses
there at one time? Yes, those that had h >r*e*.
Who did not have a horse ? Mr. Porter and Mr.
Dirks had no horses, neither did the young man
who ttcame with Mr. Dirks, whose name I don't
know. Did you all then separate ? No, sir; Mr.
Allen, Mr. Weyer and myself went home together.
We went together, or as far as the new cemetery.
We left Mr. Porter, Mr. Dirks and the young man
there. Mr. Owens aud Mr. Kahn went away the
time we did. They went north. We svere then on
the west side of the Fair grounds. Mr. Alien, Mr
Weyer and myself went together an far as the
Decantie place. How far is that from the Fair
grouuda? I think about a quarter of a mile.
How long did it take you to get there ?
About Ave minutes. Did you see any one on
the way ? No, sir. Did you stop at J)eoantie's
place? No, saw no one there. I parted from them
then and went home. Which way did they go? I
think they went home—my back wan to them then.
How far was it from there to your house? About a
mile. Did you see any one between there and
home? No, sir. What time did you get home?
About half-past, 2 o'clock. Who aid you fin 1 at
home? No one but my family. At the time that
you left the Fair grounds, did you have any under-
standing to meet at Mr. Weyer's that evening?
Yes. Who was the understanding between? The
understanding was between Mr. Weyer, Mr. Allen,
Mr. Porter, Mr. Wattingny and myself. Wh it
were you to meet there for? To picket the island
to prevent his getting to town that night, for,
knowing he had no clothes with him, and if he
was not in town already, thinking he
would go there that night. Mr. Wattingny
left you, you say,at the cemetery at about 12 o'clock,
had you seen him between that time and 2 o'clock
when you say he was at the Fair grounds ? No, si*,
he was there when we climbed tiie fence. Where
did Mr. Wattigny go from there ? He went south,
towards home; every one was with him, except a
couple of dogs. You said you were at home at about
2:30, and there was no oue at home besides your
family. Did anybody come there afterwards ?
Yes, sir, Mr. Koehler came there about an hour af-
terwards. Mr. Owens and Mr. Hahn .also came
there about an hour after Mr. Koehler cam". Was
Mr. KoelUcr there when they came ? No, sir. How
long did Koehler remain ? About a minute. Did
he soy anything to you ? No, I said something to
him as soon as I saw him. What did you say
to him? I told him he had just
as well go home, for we were going to meet at
Judge Weyer's at 6 o'clock. Did anybody come
fcttween the time Mr. Koehler left and Mr. Owens
came? Between that time Mr. Hamner and Mr.
Oldenberg ai d a policeman from the
city, on horseback, came. Anybody
else that evening before 4 o'clock?
Mr Janemann, what time did Mr. Owens and Mr.
Hahn leave your house that evening? I think it
must have been 5 o'clock. IIovv long did they re-
main there? About a quarter of an hour. What
time did Mr. Oldenberg and Mr. Hamner leave
there? I think they must have bven gone about a
half hour when Mr. Owens and Hahn came. How
long did Mr Owens and Mr. Hahn stay at your
house? I think about a quarter of an hour. How
long did Mr. Hamner and Mr. Oldenberg remain
there? I think about a half an hour. They—Mr.
Oldenberg and Mr. Hamner—came to your house
about 4 o'clock? I think about that time. You
have stated that you came home about half-past 2
o'clock? About that time. Did you go any where
from 9:90 until 4 o'clock? No, fir. Did any body
come to your house between those hours? As I
have stated, Mr. Koehler came there; he is the
only one. Did you go any where between 4 and 5
o'clock? No, sir. I did not go outside
of my house between the hours of 2:30
p. m. Tuesday and 4:30 a. m. on Wednesday.
Mr. Junemann, were you at the corner of Broad-
way and H streets on Tuesday, the 19th of August,
between 2 and 4 o'clock (Mitchell's saloon)? No,
sir. Were you on the Mud bridge, near Robinson's,
at any time on Tuesday, the 19th? I was there
twice that day, at about 8 o'clock, a. m., I think,
when I met Mr. Oppe, and again about 10 a. m.,
when I went home with Wattigny. What time
were you at Sommer's, on Broadway and Thirty-
third streets, on the 19th? It, must have been about
twenty minutes to 9 o'clock, though I did not stop
there; I rode by. Did any one ask you there about
sending for a doctor at Sommer's? No, sir; if
they did they must have hallooed to me without
my hearing it. Did you have a conversation there
with anyone? As I went by there (I did not get off
my horse) I hallooed out what had happened, and
if any one of the milkmen would come by there
yet to post them about it. Now, while at the Por-
ter place did Mr. Koehler come to you?
I did not see Mr. Koehler from the
hour in the morning that I left my
house to go to the Peter Romberg place until in
the afternoon, when I was back home. Did Henry
come to you while at the Porter place? No, sir. I
did not see Henry Guy from about 9:30 in the
They were waiting Tor him (Weyer) to come to my
place. Did vou go to Weyer's alone? Yes, sir.
We had sent for Weyer several times
before alreadv, but he did not coine.
Did you find him? I did not go to
his house. I met him and Mr. Guy at about the
corner of the cemetary. When did Mr. Guy leave
your house? About U o'clock, we sent him to
Weyer's. Did you then go right back to yoir
house? No. Where did you go? We went Into
Bernard Weyer's place. Why did you not go
home? Because it was right on ourwayhnno.
We had to paas near the place. It was su'ploionel
the man was hid in the neighborhood. The suspi-
cion was held by all. What time did \ ou go home?
About 1 o'clock. You three? Yes. Did you three
search any other place besides the Weyer place?
No sir. When you got home, did you find the p *o
pie you had left there? All except Mr Walter
Hurt and Mr. Theodore Wever; ihny had goue
home. I found Mr. Ed Giebel there. What time
did Mr. Koehler ond Mr. Guy leave your house? I
don't know. I am certain It was after 2 o'clock,
for I went to sleep then. Where did they go? They
told me they were going down to the West end
with another young man with them. How Ion»did
you sleep? 1 believe ubout an hour and a half,
or so. What time did you wake up?
1 can not exactly say, but between 4 and 5 o'cloeic.
When you came back from Weyer's, wh it did the
people who were there at your house do? Mr.
Weyer, Keohler aud Mr. Geibel searched the
Lengsin place. I do not know whether Mr. Allen
went alougornot. Did the others search? The
others staid at my place. Did any of tho^e pirtles
search anywhere else besides the Lertg.dn pi ice?
Not to my knowledge. Did any of them tell you
of their searching any other place? Thev did not
tell me, and I don't believe they did. Did you
hear of auy other parties searching anywhere that
day? No, sir. Wnen ygu woke up between 4 and
5 o'clock, who was at your house? No one but
some ladies. Where had those parties gone? To
my knowledge, as they said before I laid down,
Mr. Keohler, Mr. Guy. and a young man wh »se
laneldon't know, a French boy, were to go to
the West-end; for early in the mornlltg Mr. Walsh-
berger brought up the report that he had seen a
man following the description of the man about
twenty miles down the bench. To the best of
my knowledge Mr Geibel, Mr. Alien, Mr.
Weyer and Mr. Wattigny went to their homes.
When you woke up, between 4 and 5 o'clock, what
did you do? I attended to my work, for I lial nj
one there and everything was upset. When about
6:?0 o'clock a gentleman came out with a ladv; his
name was Julius Chaussy, he is the rectifier or
compounder at Gus Lewy & Co.'s. Was the Weyer
and Lingren places the only two searched th it day?
To the best of my knowledge they were al'.. Did
you go anywhere else that evening? About 6
o'clock I went with this gentleman in his bu<*y—I
was not able to ride that day—over near the Hom-
berg place. What made you go there? About (J
o'clock Mr. Loyal Maclin carne to my house an i
asked me if 1 wanted to seo the man. I said yes,
and asked if they had him at Weyer's; he then told
i^ie that he is over there (pointingin the direction):
he is over yonder, he said, but he i3 dead. I asked
him then if he would stay at my house, I wanted
to see him then anyhow, whether he was dead or
alive, unless it was his intention to use me for a fool.
He tuen told me to go to Mr. Allen's place, he
would show me where he was; then the gentlernin
I have mentioned went with me; we went in his
wagon. We met Mr. Allen on the road, in front of
Mr. Weyer's place. I asked him then whether he
knew where the man was. He answered, come
along, 1 will show him to you; I believe the man
hanged himself before ever we know anything
about him. I believe he meant to ex press himself
that the man had hung himself before we were
after him. Ho then showed us the body. Part ef
the legs were on the ground, and the upper pirt,
with a rope, w as hanging to a cedar tree. How
often was that rope around the tree? I think it
was three or four times around the limb. Was the
r( pe tied? Tt was three or four times around the
limb, and then about a foot of the end of it was
hanging down; it was not tied. Do you know
how the man came there? 1 do not. Have
you heard how the man came there? I have
not. Do you know how he came to his death?
I do not. Who pulled him out from under the
tree ? Mr. Allen and myself. Who told you to do
it ? No one told me especially to do it. Whoso
rope was on his neck ? I identified it as mine.
Mr. Weyer told Mr. Allen to pull the body out. but
he was not able to do so alone, and I helped him.
How did your rope get on his neck? I do not
morning until about 11 o'clock that night, when he
came to my place. Who came wLn him? Mr.
Koehler and, 1 think, Mr. Brown. I did not see
him, but I heard nim talking outside of the fence.
Did any one else come to your honse that night be-
fore they came? There were several parties there
about C o'clock. Who were they? Mr. P. Jensen
and wife, F. Sommer and Wm. Schneider and Dr.
Hegnauer. I think Dr. Hegnauer was there that
evening. Any one else? That's all that I can
think of. What makes you know that it was 11
o'clock when Koehler and Guy came? Because 1
had not slept yet. X had to s -t up nn st of that
night with my wife. Did you have a clock or time-
piece on yourj place? Yes, sir. Did you notice
your time-piece at or before, or after, or near the
time that Koehler'and Guy cam • there? Yes, sir.
I noticed it ten minutes to 10 o'clock. Did you
notice it after they came? No, not until in "the
morning. 1 want to know how you knew it was 11
o'clock when they came. It was about 11 o'clock to
the best of my knowledge. I know I looked
at the clock at ten minutes to 10 o'clock, and it was
a good while after that they came. Did any one
come to your bouse between 11 o'clock and morn-
ing? Not that 1 know of. I did not see any one,
that is, not after Mr. Koehler and Mr. Guy came
there. Did Mr. Koehler or Mr. Guy eilher leave
your house that night? Not that I know of. What
time did you go to sleep that night? I did not get
much sleep. I laid down about 9 o'clock. I got up
once in a while to give my wife some water. What
time did Koehler and Guy leave your house? To
my knowleage they did not leave my house until
next morning, for when I returned from town
next mornii g at about 9 o'clock I found them both
there. Who milked for you that morning? My-
self and Henry Guv. What time did you milk?
About 3 o'clock we started. What time did you
leave? About half-past 4 o'clock. Did it take you
from 3 until 4;30 to get through milking? Yes, sir;
to get through milking nnd getting the horse on
the wagon Why (I'd not Koehler help you? I don't
know, he was up stairs You left home at about
4.30 you say? About that time. Where did

nue L and Twenty-fourth streets was the first
place I got to. Where did you go from there? In

know. Have you heard how it got ou his neck?
I have not. Has anybody intimated to you by
words, looks, signs, writing or any other manner?
No, sir. How long was that rope ? I- think about
eight feet long. Had it been cut from a longer
rope? Yes, sir; there was a knot in oue end to
prevent it from fraying out, and an eye splice in
the other, and about a root and a half from the
eye-splice there was another knot. What was
liiat knot for ? It was for the purpose of not
choking the calves.
Examination continued until this after-
noon, at 3 o'clock.
DEATH OF CAPTAIN QUI*.
Another Good Citizen Removed by the Hand of
Death—General Expressions of Sorrow and
II egret.
The hand of death, stern and unyielding, has
been laid heavily upon t his community duriug
the past six months, and in response to its
touch gome of the best men of the city have
" crowed the valley to rest on the hillside be-
yond." The names of George Ball, George B.
Nichols, Robert John, John Sealy and others
can be called in the list of the dead, to which
must now be added another good maa, Michael
Quin. The death of Captain Q iin has been
expected for some time, bub none the less is
the force of the shock felt by his frienls, who
join with his bereaved family in the grief aud
sorrow felt, and keenly felt, at his demise.
Michael A. D. Quin, who died of dropsy ac
Wootan Wells on the night of the 13d instant,
was born in the county Limerick, Ireland,
January 1.1835, whence he emigrated with
his father in the year 1845, The family settled
in Georgia. He caaie to Texas in 1855. His
first employment was that of a school teacher
in Fort Bend county, where he married Miss
Annie E. Janes. He then, in conjunction
with the late John Kennedy, of Houston, car-
ried on a grocery business at Richmon i, Tex.
Hia next employment was on the
old Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colo-
rado railway, at various points, as
aud gave a good account of himself and com-
mand in every skirmish and action in which
they participated. The war over, he brought
bis company back to Alieyton and disbaude i
them. He then again entered the service of
the railway company and remained until it
was broken up, retaining the respect and good
wishes of all with whom he had h id business or
social relations. About the year 1807 ue com-
menced business in Galveston as a cotton fac-
tor.
In the beginning of the year 1870 the Jvell-
known firm of Quin &• Hill was established,
and were very successful, aud was one of the
leading firms of Galveston.
During this partnership Captain Quin was
most prominent in establishing the Texas cot-
ton press, of which he was the first president;
also the Texas Banking and Insurance com-
pany, the Cotton exchange and other business
institutions of this city.
After the death of the late and lamentel
Harvey Sellers, Captain Quin succeeded him
os parener with the late W. L. Thomas in the
shipping and insurance business, duriug which
time he represented this county in the Four-
teenth Legislature with credit to himself and
his constituents. For some time previous to
his death he was general agent at Gal-
veston for the Palmer & Sullivan system
of railways, was agent for the London and
Liverpool and Globe Fire Insurance com-
pany, and also agent for the New York and
Galveston Packet company. His life was one
of earnest activity and characterized by un-
bending integrity and sterling worth. His
death leaves a void in commercial and social
circles which will be hard to fill. As a busi-
ness man he wes prompt and reliable; as a
friend, true and faithful. "He was a man,
token for all and all, we ne'er shall look upon
his like again." His immediate family con-
sists of his widow and four children—the
eldest of whom, James E. Quin, succeeds to
his father's business.
The remains of Captain Quin reached the
city last night on the 8 o'clock train. The
funeral will take place from St. Mary Cathe-
dral at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

PILES I PILES! PILES!
A Sore Cure Fo&nd at Last—I¥o One Need Suffer.
A sure cure for blind, bleeding, itching and
ulcerated piles has been discovered by Dr.
William (an Indian remedy), called Dr. Wil-
liam's Indian Ointment. A singlo box has
cured the worst chronic cases of twentv-five
years standing. No one need suffer five
minutes after a] plying this wonderful sooth-
ing medicine. Lotions and instruments do
more harm than good. William's Ointment
absorbs tho tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night after getting warm in
bed), nets as a poultice, gives instant and pain-
less relief, and is prepared only for piles, itch-
ing of the private parts, aud for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinberry, of
Cleveland, says about Dr. William's Indian
Pile Ointment: " I have used scores of pile
cures, and it affords me pleasure to say that I
have never found anything which gave such
immediato and permanent relief as Dr. Wil-
liamV Indian Ointment." For sale by all drug-
gists and mailed on receipt of i irice, $1.
