The witness next, exhibited the clothos worn by him on the day of tho murder, and they coutaincd no less than a dozen bullet holes. On cross-examination Mr. Murphy said that he had never seen Fitzsimmons or his wife before the day of the shooting; Fitzsimmons was inhis underclothing, with a a white shirt on, and his hair was wet as though it had just been combed. The witness stuck closely to bis story and refused to be cornered by Mr.

Marshall's questions. Magistrate Gripp and 'Squire McMas-ters both testified to the warrants given to Detective Murphy as being issued by them on or about the 21st of last March. Robert Thompson testified to having made correct plans of the Fitz-imuioiis the case was closed for the day. Mrs. F'itzsinimons is being defended by Messrs.

Fitzsimmons, this defendant.drew from under her apron this revolver and fired at Gilkinson, who.throwing ur his arm, received the bullet therein and plunged forward toward Eilzsiintuons. Fitzsimmons deliberately placing the two revolvers side by side pointed them both directly at Gilkiu-sou's head and discharged them both point blank into his temple. Both bails entered the head of Mr. Gilkinson a little above and back of the temple, and Mr. Gilkinson, instantly dead, fell like a log in front of the fireplace and almost at the feet of his slaver.

"Mr. Murphy had drawn hisfrevolver and tired at Fitzsimmons, striking him in the shoulder and causing one of his revolvers to drop from his hand. Several shots were exchanged when Murphy grappled with Fitzsimmons. A 1EATII STKUGOLE. "Each maintained his hold upon the revolver of the other, Fitzsimmons endeavoring to press his revolver against the breast of Murphy, and while they struggled and wrestled over the floor of this little bedrootn in as desperate fight as two men ever engaged only otter sound was one which arose over the diu of the battle, the voice of this woman cryiug to Fitzj-rmmous: 'You have got one, now kill the other.

Fitzsimmons, during the struggle, succeeded in discharging two shots from his revolver, one of which struck Murphy in the stomach, which passed through his clothing without doing him any actual harm. "Finally Murphy threw Fitzsimmons on the floor, and failing to wrest the revolver from him threw him up against the ceiling of the room, which caused Fitz-siiijraons's revolver to drop from hi grasp. Upon losing it he uttered the only words which had escaped from him during the whole of the time these men were iu his house, and those word were: VMv God.

He instantly discharged this revolver several times at Murphy, one of the balls hitting Murphy, passing through the body and causing him to drop in the doorway.

Murphy snapped his revolver back at him, and it failing to discharge he knew it was empty, and seeing this man still discharging his revolver at him ho did the most sensible thing a man could do, he got up and tied from the house as best he could."

WAS ARMED AND READY TO SHOOT. Detective Murphy's Modest Account of the Lively Scene. THE COOL DEMEANOR OF TOE rMSOXER Th trial of Lucy li. Fitisimmons, wtio wan jointly indicted' with her husband, Fred for the murder Detective D. II.

Gilkinson, was taken up in criminal court yesterday morning with Judges Ewing and McClung on the bench. The defendant wan brought into court from the jail aud occupied a seat at the counsel table with her back resting against the clerk's desk. This position was evidently taken so that she could see her little daugher who was in the room in care of a nurse and under the charge of Fitzsirunions's brother. Mrs. Fitzsim-diod9 is about 40 years of age, and has rather a pleasant looking face, showing signs of having been extremely good looking in her earlier years.

She was reused in deep black, relieved at the wrists aud throat with a little white lace. She walk with a cane, haying just a little limp, not enough to be noticeable if the caue was not to be seen. the entire day the defendant wore a look of stolid indifference, and at no stage could a change of countenance be noticed, except when i-he looked toward her little daughter, and Dent forth a motherly smil e. The entire mornius was spent in the selection of a jury, nearly every member on the panel being examined before the necessary 12 were secured. The jury an finally secured is as follows: Frank Shanley, shoe merchant.

Thirty-second ward; J. G. Brant, leather denir, Third ware, Alle- gheiiy; li. C. Catherwood, farmer, West Jjeer township; Janies I).

When the afternoon session was commenced "Dharicj Attorney Xiurleigh made the opening address in the cane. THE OPENING ADUHESS. After stating the different verdicts which the jury could render under the indictment iu this case and defining the law applicable thereto, District Attorney Burleigh said: "We expect to satisfy you beyond a reasonable doubt that Lucy li. Fitzsim-mons, the defendant in this ca-e, and Frederick C. Fitzsimmons, after the two detectives came within sight of the hou-e and before they entered the door knowing their errand, agreed together that in case they entered that house to perform their duty as officers of the law, that they would kill them both, and that in pursuance of this agreement they had both armed themselves with loaded revolvers for that purpose." Mr.

Burleigh then proceeded to review the facts iu the case as they would be presented to the jury, lie referred to the numerous large robberies which had occurred, in the county previous to the kill ing ot Gilkinson and the tracing of clues which led to informations being made against Fitzsimmons for the robbery of the stores of Joseph Skelly and John F. Schmidt, the issuing of search warrants for Fitzsimmons's house aud the visit of detectives to the place, ail of which is familiar to the reader. Stress was laid upon the point that the windows of Fitz-Bimmons's house were so situated that a perfect view of the township road, by which Detectives Gilkinson and Murphy approached, was given those inside. This enabled Mrs. Fitzsimmons to meet Detective Murphy at the open kitchen door.

Fitzsimmons himself was in an adjoining room, dressing for a journey, having at his feet an open satchel containing some of the stolen jewelry. The story of the murder was theu told thus by Mr. lurleigh; STORY OF THE SHOOT'SU. "Escape being impossible, Gilkinson having gone to one side of the house and Murphy at the other, Fitzsimmons stood behind the partition dividing the kitcheu from the bedroom, less than eight feet away from those at the kitchen door, completely concealed from view, lying in wait with a loaded revolver in each hand prepared and determined to murder these two men if they crossed the kitchen threshhold and before they would even get fight cf him. This defendant, Lucy li.

Fitzsimmons, had iu her right hand concealed under her apron a loaded revolver to assist him in his murderous design. Mr. Murphy went on to the kitchen door, whore Mrs. Fitzsimmons and this child were waiting to receive him, and had with her substantially the following conversation: He asked if Mr. Fitzsimmons lived there? She replied that he did.

Mr. Murphy theu inquired if he was at homo, when this defendant deliberately lied and haid that he was not at home, not in tbe house at all. Mr. Murphy tben asked how long he had been away, and this defend- ant, lying again, about one month. When do you expect him home? was the r.ext question.

do not know, was thy answer. 'When did you last hear from him? asked the detective. That is noiie of your crossly replied Mrs. Fitzsimmons. "Just then Mr.

Gilkinson came round from the other side of the house, and lifting his hat to Mrs. Fitzsimmons, said, How do you do, To which she very sharply replied, 'How do you Mr. Gilkinson theu asked Mr. Murphy what he had learned, and was told that Mr. Fitzsimmons lived there but was not in the bouse.

Mr. Gilkinson asked the defendant when she last heard from Mr. Fitzsimmons, and she replied, 'It is none of your business wheu I last heard from him. Gilkinson theu said to Murphy, If this is the kind of a woman we have to deal with we might as well go ahead and search the Mr. Murphy then said to Mrs.

Fitzsimmons that he had warrants commanding him to search the house for property stolen from Schmidt and Skelly's stores, and also warrants commarding him to arrest Fitzsimmons. Mrs. Fitzsimmons said, 'You can't enter this house. Murphy explained to her that he and Gilkinson were officers of the law and that they must go id. UAI A ISEVOLVEH.

"She again told them that they could not go in that house, and instead of reaching with her right hand, which was next the kitchen door, but which was still keii completely covered by her apron, she reached with her left hand across her own body and the body of the child, grabbed the door and tried to close it. Mr. Mur-jilty, seeing this, immediately rushed into the room, lie fore ha had traversed the small space of eight feet, which a man TO CALL ON CHAIItMAX IvEUIC. Democrats of Three Wards Appoint a Committee to Explain. The second meeting of the Kjghth, Eleventh aud Thirteenth ward Dempcrais was held at the Moorhead school building last evening to take action on tho nominations for district attorney and pro-thouotary.

Dr. George II. Keyser acted as tbalr-man and Edward O'Brien as secretary of tho meeting. It was noticed at the. opening of the meeting that several of the active workers at the first meeting were absent.

The committee of three appointed at the first meeting to confer with Chairman Brentien reported that Mr. Breunen told them to go a little slow with their work. The report eeined to put a sort of dam tier on the proceedings until William Larder made a lively speech, in which he severely criticised all the Democratic leaders. When he was through several people jutuied up and yelled, "Wo have no party, not even a ticket to vote this fall, and there will be no district attorney or protiionotary nominated." These gentlemen said this had been settled by tho leaders refusing to recognize the committee from last week's meeting. Another committee was then appointed to call on Chairman Kerr next Mondays and extilain matters to him.

The meeting adjourned without arranging a date for a future session. lO-DAV FOIS IHELAXI). The Fourth VVek of" tti3 Groat "Exposition With iorcl Crowds. The fourth week of the Exposition opened quite lively yesterday. The attendance was large.

The most recent one is Hazleton. up in the coal region. A telegram from there, received last night, says the town was wild with excitement over his appearance in that village last evening. The telegram says: "To-night while the working force of the I'luin isyicakei' was busily engaged, a quiet, geutlemauly young fellow walked into the office, and without exchanging more than a word with the people present, began to critically examine the photc-graph and description of the escaped murderer, Fitzsimmons, posted on the wall of the oliice. When the counterfeit and real ware thus brought into such close proximity, the inmates at once recognized that The photograt of Fitzsimmons and the face of their mysterious caller were one and the same person.

Of course there was a stir, but after uttering a few words of disapproval of the picture and description, Fitz dmmons, as he is really thought to be, broke aud by members of the writing force, but too late to catch him. The police and detectives were at once alat rued, and every precaution taken to pre ven his escape from the city.

The stranger immediately a ked if there were any visitors there, or if any had been.

Warmcastle, with his representatives of the alleged 230 mushroom clubs organized in Pittsburgh iu the interest of Robinson, left for Scranton at 8:10 o'clock last evening on a special of five Pullman sleepers and three coaches, which was run as the third section of the fast line. About 500 were in tho delegation all told. The crowd was one of the noisiest that ever left the city. Every man had baen provided with a round trip ticket to Scranton, and upon reaching the depot they were told to pile into the sleepers as best they could. About 50 colored delegates were in the party.

A scramble was made for the sleeping car berths when the cars were unlocked, aud many climbed through the windows after the coveted seats. Collector Warmcastle was chief of the whole shooting match, aud flew around in great haste to see that none were left bo-hind. He worked like a Trojan, and smiled complacently when the traiu finally began to move. He had a fistful ot railroad tickets, which he handed around indiscriminately, nothing being left undone to secure enough delegates to capture tbe convention to-morrow. To make the trip more pleasant generous supplies of beer and sandwiches were carted out aud piled iuto tbe cars.

Mr. Warmcastle said he could not find time to be interviewed, but said he had enough delegates aboard to do the business that was to lie done at Scranton, and tho election of Senator Jack Robinson as president of the Republican league was a foregone conclu-iou now. The only thing necessary now was to go thiough the formality casting and counting the bailut- have complied wiih tho constitutional requirements," said Mi.

Dalzell's name in nomination. Mr. Moreltnd admitted that this bitter fight was not beir.g made merely for tho honor of being presid-nl of the Republican league, out said the contest had great tearing upon the United States senatorial seat, which Mr. Dalzeii hits ex -pres-eu a wish to till.

Two ot these called lor the arrest of Fredrick Fitzsimmons, and two were search-warrants for Lis house. At 1:10 on that day in company with Detective Gilkinson 1 took a Baltimore Ohio train for Mc-Keesport and from there started for Bull Bun.

We rowed across the river from McKeesport and then started out over the hill; the distance of Bull Kuu from McKeesport is about i miles. The house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Fitzsimmons was iu a ravine about 200 yards from Bull Bun. We took the road that leads from Duque.me and did not see the Fitzsim-mons house until within 300 feet of it.

We walked past the house down toward the run and after a short talk started back. I told Gilkinson to watch back of the house.and I went up to the front door aud on passing through a gate found Mrs. Fitzsimmons and her little daughter standing iu the doorway. Mrs. Fitzsimmons wore a dark calico dress and a gingham apron, her right band was concealed under the apron.

ASKED FOR SKINNER. "I asked for a family named Skiuner, and she told me that they lived lurther down the hollow. I then asked her who lived in that house and she said Mr. and Mrs. Fitzsimmons.

I asked about Fitzsimmons, and she told me that he was away and that she did not know whe.i he would be back. I theu asked her when she had heard from him, and bhe replied that it was none of my business. Mrs. fitzsimmons asked my name, and I told her it was Jones and that 1 lived in Homestead, aud hho remarked about my name beiuiz a common one. About this time Mr.

Gilkinsou came around the house aud asked me what 1 had learned, aud I told him that it was ttie Fitzsimmons house but that he was not at home. Gilkinson asked Mrs. Fitzsimmons when she had heard from her husband, and she told him that it was none of his business, at which Gilkinson said to me, if this is the kind of a woman we hail to deal with to go ahead and serve the warrants. 1 then told Mrs. Fitzsimmons that I was an officer and had a warrant for the arrest of her husband, al.o warrants to search the house.

The defendant replied that I could nut rearch the houve, and tried to close the door with her left hand. I rushed past ber into the house. Mrs. Fitzsimmons theu demanded my authority, and as I reached in my pocket to produce the warrant there was a nhot tired, the bullet striking me on the forehead aud glancing off. The shot was fired from the bedroom about live feet away, and for a moment I was stunned, but soon recovered and saw a man in the bedroom with a revolver in each hand.

1 rushed into the room, and at the same time Gilkinson rushed in in a stooping position, when the man placed both revolvers at his forehead and fired them both at the same time, and at the same instant a third shot was fired. 1 saw Gilkinson reel aud fall on the lioor near the fiie place. flinty BEGAN tO SHOOT. "I then pulled my revolver, and shots were exchanged. I then got close enough and grabbed Fitz-iinimous, grasping him by the hand which held the pistol.

We tussled about for awhiie and I threw him, and while we were tussling on the floor he fired three shots. One struck me iu the chin and one iu the left side. 1 had hold of his hand at the time and twisted the pistol away. 1 then picked Fitzsimmons up and raised hiiu as high as the ceiling, and getting his revolver away from him, dropped him on the floor. Fitzsimmons cried out that his gun was gone and his wife handed him another one which I tried to grasp from her.

but failed. While we were- wrestling on the lioor I beard Mrs. Fitzsimmons say three or four times 'You got one; now kill the J. tried to fire my revolver, but it would not go off. I theu got up and ran out of the house.

"The entire struggle took place in the bedroom, and the only words I heard Fitzsimmons say was that his gun was g.me. I thought 1 was fatally shot, and after getting out of the house examined myself, and on opening my shirt the bullet which I thought entered my Side dropped out. 1 then felt reassured, and started to bull Bun to eive the alarm, but could uot secure any help. 1 then started toward Duquesne, and met three men who told me that they had seen a man, woman and a little girl enter the woods. I then started for the woods, aud failing to find any trace of the three people darted back.
