THE CHARLESTOWN TRAGEDY
Medical Examiner Harris Be- lieves Mrs. Quinlan Guilty,
But Her Brother-in-law and Brother Are of a Different Opinion.
—_—_———
Poston Post, Feb. 4)
Several startling discrepancies im the | etorics told by Mra. Quinlan, her eon | Johnny and the wartress at John H. Cau
ey's restaurant were discovered yester-
jay by a Post reporter who had exclusive th the boy and Misa Brennan. the

Little Johnny isa precocious lad, and certain that the store visited by him and his mother, and at the shoes and stockings were bought, is upon the same street with the Union station.” | The utmost efforts of the police and re | porters fail to diecover any place where goods could have been bought, and which comes anywhere near tallying with 1 i
is most which
| the sto-v of the little boy
The «forts of the Post reporters have | revealed the fact that Mrs. Quinlan drank considerably more liquor upon Saturday evening than has yet been admitted It has been learned that she made two in- stead of one visit to the establishment of John H. Cauley on Main street, and that on each occasion she drank a certain amount of liquor
This first visit to Cauley’s, which, ac- cording to Maggie Brennan, was made be- tween Saud &:30 o'clock Saturday eveu ing, is something altogether new, and may throw additional light upon the case.
This establishes two very important
facts: First, that Mrs. Qu'n'an drank considerable on Saturday night; second, hat the stories tuli upto date are dis-
crepant in more than one respect.
Johany Quinlan states that immediately after supp r on Satarday evening he start ed with his mother fur a market upon Main street, where Mrs. Quinlan made severa] purchases avi than immediately returned Brighton street, where she left her parcels in the kitchea.
Johnny saysthat at that time Mrs. Grant, or “Sophie,” as he called her, was sitting in the kitchen in her night gown and with a pair of slippers on her feet. She was warming her feet against the stove and reading a newspaper.
If Miss Brennan's story ie true, Mra. Quinlan left her bundles at Cauley’s res: taurant, and not in the kitchen, where her sister Mrs. Grant, was sitting, and en- joving a few minates of peace and quiet.
But, it is queried, why should Mrs, Quinlan kill her sister? The police have a few ready answers. In the first place, it is said to be true that Mrs. Quinlan was of a quick-tempered and very quarrelsome disposition, which brooked little§restraint
Secondly she is said to have ofteu been at cross purposes with her sister, Mrs. Grant he neighbors say that the two wonren often quarrelled, and seemed to get aleng ill, althought there is no re cord of aquarrel between them on the night In question.
Mrs. Quinlan’s readiness to strike was well i lustrated when, about four months ago, she went down stairs and engiged in a quarrel with Mrs. Dillingham, who rented the tenement on the lower fluor, subsequently knocking that woman down.
Thirdly, Mr. McNabb, the agent of the house at 23 Brighton street, states that Mrs. Quinlan was in a very excited condi- tion when she came to the door for the keys that night, and that she spoke in such an unusually loud voice as to awaken everybody in the house.
There are twostories given of Mre. Quinlan’s movements and the way she spent her time on Saturday night, both compiled from the tales tuld by Mra. Quinlan herself, herson Johnay, a preco cious youth, who at present seems an im- portant witness, and Maggie Brennan, who will al*eo bear an important part in the case.
According to Johony, Mrs. Quinlan left the house at 33 Brighton street at shortly after 7 o’clock to start for the market. She iid not spend much time shopping, but came right back and subsequently started for the city to make the purchases of shoes and stockings. Shedidnot retura uatil after Ll o’clock from the city. She stop pei at Cauley’s and had some liquer.
The other story is that shortly after 8 o'clock she stopped at Cauley’s without Johnny and bad some liquor, and left her bundles there. If she started for home on leaving Canley’s afer this firet visit, she would have reached there not much after | 8.30 o’clock at the latest, and this would have given her an extra hour.
John F. Quinlan, of New Hampshire, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Quirlan, arrived in the city last evening. ‘I can never be- lieve,” said he toa Post reporter, “that | Ida committed that murder, and her hus- band and | intend to defend her regardless of cost, with the best legal talent obtain- able. I am familiar with the McLeod household, having stayed there on several occasious when I was in the city. I never saw any manuifestation~ of bad feeling be- tween the brethers and si-ters, and I never saw anything out of the ordinary going on in the houee.
“Sophia was always a good, quiet wo man, with no enemies, who liked Ida, who returned this affection. Ida often came up to our house in Rochester in the sum- mer, and froia what [ saw of her I believe | her to be incapable of committing the deed. She had no motive, and I don’t think she had the ability
“She is not a strong—miaded woman at all. She used todrink, but not to such an excesa that she would get delirium tre- mens, a8 the doctor gays.
“The detectives are weaving a line of action pursued by her that would indicate that she was both wonderfully cool and shrewd, and when broughtin and examin- ed by the doctor she is pronounced to be bordering on delirium tremens.
“T think that the doctor and the police conflict. Ifthe papers are true, the only man that has any motive for getting Sophia out of the way is Grant. He has the motive and ability. As yet, the pub- lic are ignorant of hie whereabouts on Saturday night. I don’: think that the | little boy could tell that story so straight | if it were not true. | “Ida had other disagreements with her | neighbors, aod had many enemier, and | the blow might have been intended for | her instead of Sophia. I think that the
blow on the side of the head was the blow | that was struck first. me think thie is

that
7 What makes
that blow was a clean blow, evidently only blow which fell on that place, while the back of the head might have been hit by many blows. “My theory of the whole matter is that my sister-in-law was sitting at the table reading, as washer custom. She heard rome strange noise behind and turned sud denly, just in time to receive the fatal
blow on the side of her head. Then the murderer, in order to make sure of the work, hit her again in the back of the
head. This seems to me to be the most tenabletheory. If she received the blow in the back of her head first the murderer would bave bad to walk around the table in order to inflict'the second one. It is useless for McLeod to say that he did not know bis sister was married, for all of us knew that. It hae never been denied by my brother that the money Ida has was given herby him,as was stated in an afternoon pap Tr yesterday.”
Angue McLeod, the prisoner's oldest brother, is vehement in his protestations that Mrs. Quinlan is guiltless of her sis ter’s blood
“Talk about bloodstains on her dress,” caid he, “what does that show ? Why ahe was foolish with grief, and went out
into the kitchen and tried to help clean up the blood on the floor. That is how she got the bloodstains on her drese, if there are any ou her dress. Why should
No, she was too fond would only
she kill her sister ? of her for that; besides, it mean that she would lose her home. “They tell about ber drinking, too. What if she did take a glass of beer now
and then! She never abused it.”
(Boston Standard, Feb. 5.)
Within the next 24 hours the mystery surrounding the killing of Mre. Grant will be entirely cleared up. This is the opinion of the police and those intimate with the Char'estown murder case.
Many new tacts have developed since yesterday afiernoon, and the story of Mrs. Quinlan does not seem to held water quite as well as when she first told it.
Great importance is attached tow hat she said vesterday afternoon, in an inter- view that the three superior officers who are in charge of the case held with her at Charles street jail. They refused, however, wh-n questioned to say whether they had learned anything new.
A grand roundup of all the parties con- cerned in the case was made at police headquarters, in the office of Chief Inspec- tor Watts, and a rigid examination ef all took place, the answers being taken down by stenographer Brown of headquarters. The points which were obta.ned will be used later in conducting the case fur the government, so the officers say.
Mr. Dogherty sticks to his story that he saw little Johnny Quinlan in front of bis shop at about 9 10 o'clock the night of the murder. He says he spoke to Johnny, who replied, and he fixes the time by bis clock, which he glanced at as he entered the shop. His word is pitted against that ef Johnry Quinlan, whose story alone, if substantiated, will save his mother’s life No one else who was abont at that time remembers seeing the Loy, so thet Mr. Dougherty bas no one to corroborate his statemert, He is positive, however, a4 to the time avd the relative position of the boy with regard to the house,
All the other members of the family and the boarders as we'l, are said to have accounted satisfactorily for their where- abouts onthe night im question. How- ever, one important witness hae turned up, who tells what he saw on that night about 9 o'clock. He is the driver of a beer wagon. He says he left a half case at the house about 9 o’clock, and that after ring ing four times the bell was answered by Ida Quialan, who wanted him to leave basket and all. He was present at the star chamber session.
At the Charles street jail interview ves- terday afternoon, Deputy Pierce, Capt. Dugan and Capt. White, ci station 15, were with Mrs. Quinian for over an hour. On their return, when asked by a reppiter regarding the matter, they absolutely r— fused to say what the nature of the inter- view was, or what she disclosed in the conversation.
A curious fact in connection with the interview was that it took place right in plain sight of the grewsome-looking scaf- fold which the deputies of Sheriff O’Brien are testing and getting ready for the exe- cution of Gilbert, the murderer of | ttle Alice Sterling, which occurs at the jail Feb. 21.
As Mrs. Quinlan sat talking to the officers this horribly suggestive sight, as it must have been, was in plain view, and it must have awakened fears and dread in her heart if she is guilty. If not guilty, it would surely have @ most depressing effect upon her.
Medical Examiner Harris has completed his report and handed it to the police. He waz seen by a reporter yesterday afternoon and questioned in regard to the case.
The immediate cause of death, he said, was the severing of several arteries in the head, caused by the blows received. Be- sides this, great pieces of the skull were driven in against the brain. These wounds in time would have caused death. No wounds or dislocations were found except on the head. One was found on the right side, near the eve, with a mark in the middle of it, that may have been made by aring on the middle fioger of one’s hand. Five cuts were found on the back of the head, and a small portion of the right ear was severed.
In reply to questions, the med:cal ex- aminer replied that the blows were made by a blunt instrumeat, notan axe or a shatp-edged weapon. Such a weapon as the stove-lifter, he snid, would have made such wounds.
The blows were evidently inflicted, he added, in a maniacal fury, the blow on the face coming first, and then, as the woman toppled over, the fury of the mur- derer spe.t itself in the crushing blows rained upon the defenceless head of the unconscious woman.
Mrs. Grant had been drinking during the evening, fur the examiner found the odor of alcobol still strong about her.
** The police have the right party vow, in my opinion, and events in the next 2t hours will bear me out in this assertion.”
Prof. Wood, who made a chemical ex- amination of the dress worn by Ida Quinlan on the night of the murder, as well as of the stove lifter and heavy metal lemon squeezer, thought to have been used as weapons, has made a report to the police. And this report, damaging as it appears to Mrs. Quin/an’s safety, bas caused the po- lice to strain every nerve to draw the case to a speedy close.
The professor eave that blood was found upon the dress which Mre. Quinlan wore on the nigh: of the murder, and on the strength of this the police feel sure that they will be able to bring her to trial and put in strong evidence against ber. Not only does Prof. Wood say that there is blood on the dress, but he tells just how the blood came there. It was not, be says, from mere contact with the bleeding body of the dead woman, as both sides of the dress were spattered with the crimson tde in such a manner as might result had the person been close to the murdered woman when the blows were struck. Blows made by such an instrument as was used in killing Mrs. Grant would cause
the | the blood to spat'er in every direction, all
| each at Carter’s Bo.kstore. 61
over the floor and on the clothing of the person dealing the blows.
So far, this is only a preliminary report from Dr. Wood of his examination, he not having completed his investigation.
It has not been claimed that there were spatters of blood on the floor and around the house, although there were tracks leading out of the kitchen and on either side of the body when the police arrived. This may be accounted for by the pool of blood in which Mrs. Quinlan may have inadvertently stepped, as the prints are just the size of her shoe.
It is claimed by the police that the Quinlan boy has told different stories since he was first examined on the matter the night the murder was discovered. On that occasion, the sergeant says, the boy said Mrs. Qainlan told bim to wait oui side after coming back from the market, and he waited quite a while before she again appeared. The boy’s latest story does not agree with this.
In the event of Mrs. Quinlan being proved to be the guilty party, the police are likely to change ther complaint to that of manslauzhter. The evidence of Prof. Wood and other witnesses points to the cause of the murder as that of an in- sane quarrel between the two persons, in which case the charge would naturally be manslaughter.
(Boston Standard, Feb. 7).
Fenator J. J. Corbett has been chosen by Mrs. Ida Quin'an to conduct her de fence when the case comes up for trial next week. Now that she has counsel, Sheriff O'Brien, who really has charge of the prisoner, and not the Boston police, says he will not permit her to be bothered, as she has rights that even the police cannot coutrovert, and he purposes to see that they are regarded. Mrs, Quinlan has now absolutely refused to talk any further with the police, saving that she does not wish to have anything to say to them.
The latter are still confident that they can secure the conviction of Mrs. Quinlaa on the charge of manslaughter at least, if not that of murder, and their whole efturt seems to be directed toward bringing about her conviction, regardless of any other theories that may be presented.
[t is claimed by Mrs, Quinlan’s friends and counsel that there is a good chance of acquitting her of the charge, and now that she is in the bands of counsel, the police willhave to act very much differently than they have been doing.
She was in consultation with her lawyer for the first time yesterday efiernoon, at the Charles street jail, Senator Corbett go: ing there in company with Mr. Quinlan. The latter left soon, and the prisoner and her counsel were left alone.
Wha passed between them the senator refused to say, but it is understood that Mrs. Quinlan vehemently protested her innocence, and not even the s«crecy she knew her counsel was sworn to, made her aimit anything different. Her cellmzte whom many suspected of being a spy in
the employ of the polices, ‘s Mrs. Lizzie Storey, who is awaiting trial fer alleged violation of the liquor law*, and wue is
confined in the jail pending an appeal ta a higher court.
Information given at the jail shaws that Mrs. Quinlan gave a very circumstantial account ¢f her movements on the night of the murder to her counsel and told every- thing without reserve. She is a bright, though not very well educated, woman, aud she will be ableto makea strong fight fur her life, with the assistance of her lawver, when her case comes te trial.
From all that can be learned from the reticent police anifrom other sources, there is very little tangible evidence against the prisoner, aside from the hoody dress. Little Johnny Quinlan still maintains his assertions about being con stantly with his mother on the uight of the murder, and nothing seems to shake himin it. William Doughty, the tailor, and Sergt. Fessenden will contradict his statements, the tailor with the statement that he saw Johnny alone, and the Ser- geant with the statement that Johnny did not tell the same straightforward tale to him on the occasion of the first interview on the subject.

THE MANITOBA SCHOOL BILL,
—_——
Orrawa, Feb. 10.
Considerable discussion is going on among the members of the House of Com- mons respecting the provisions of the re- medial bill. Certain Grits of the Joe Martin stamp affect to believe that the con ciliatory tone of the measure will have the effect of killing it. But the more reason- able minded Jegislators do not hesitate to affirm that in the moderation of the bill lies its strength.
The Grits are disappointed that there are po coercive provisions. They had calculated upon making this their great rallying ery on the hustings, and they do not hes:tite to manifest their chagrin that
this ground has been cut from under their feet.
With reference to the creation of Separate School Districts,
under the act, it appears that provision is made whereby in country districts, at any rate, separate and public schools can- pot exist side by side. That is, the school districts will mot have the same boundaries, For instance, a Catholic school district may be éreated out of portions of four pub lic schooldistricts, and in this way there will be no weakening of public echool sup- port. Were the boundary lines to run co- terminously it is likely that two weak school corporations would be created.
Martin and other grits declare that Manitoba will never give effect to the pro visions of the bill or afford any financial assistance to the Catholic school. While there is no provision for granting financial aid by the province, should the legislature fail todo its duty in this res- pect, power is reserved by the bill to the Parliament of Canada to pass any other remedial Jaws that may be required for the purposes of meeting the just claims of the Catholics of Manitoba. |[t seems likely, therefore, that the present session will not see the last of this trouble over the School Question.
