except one, and that was not less
than thirty feet. made the spices.
We never used the rope after it had
been spliced. did not consider the
rope II good one it was not safe in
my opiuion. l did not tell Mr. c. N.
Hall that it was good rope / don't
think ever spoke to Mr.. Hall in
my life. Some one else (Mr. Show
crs, l think) asked me if The rope was
q good one. and I told him that it
might last awhile. I did MT know
at the time that anybody wanted t.
buy the rope to use it. The rope was,
1t the time on reserve reel. 1t was
an understanding between me and
the foremaa t. make up this rope for
use in the middle compartment, ON
occ son, o. the men to GU down on.
When the rope was taken
away did you express Il hope that it
would not come back 7
Witness-I did positively.
The witness explained afterward
that he did not make the latter re-
mark with the defects Of the cable
before HIM, but rather because he was
glad t. have il out of his way.
There was 40 splice in the rope,
continued the witness, 81 short as two
feet. as reported. No man could
make II splice 50 short as that and
have it hold.
The reason that I made the state
ment t. the Enterprise reporter that
led to this second examination was
to clear up some suspicious that rested
on me. Men came to me and said
Schroeder, you are nice fellow to
splice rope and then have it kill
man."
Sometimes I have seen ropes part
that were comparatively new, and
that gave no evidence Whatever of
wearing out. The fact is. 1t is hard
tn tell when rope is going to break,
anyway.
Schroeder was here instructed t.
90 to the DAYTON mine and look at
the cable that broke and See whether
il parted ut Il splice or in Il new place.
He said when he returned that the
cable had evidently been kept in good
condition while ut the Dayton. 1t
broke not in splice, but in new or
original part. 1t had worn out AID
broken rs any old cable might. The
theory that splice pulled out was
wholly false.
Fred Eiers, sworn-I am working
n, the ropes Mt the Savage. The rope
that the Savage Company sold to the
Dayton was made up of three or
more pieces one of those pieces
was not of much account. l would
not like to have gone down on the
cable after it had been used few
months. 1t might do for short
while, but a good many of the strands
were broken in one OF the pieces.
The spices in the rope were none of
them less than thirty feet loag. We
usually make splices thirty-tive feet
long. Twas present when the DAYTON
Company mede arrangements for the
cable from the Savage company. and
there WAS nothing said about the con-
dition of the rope that heard. |
would have been willing II gu down
on the rop" had it heen pu' on at the
Savage and used but for a short
time.
Same other witnesses were sworn
whose testimony was unimport-
ant.
The jury returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death
through the use Of defrcrive and
unsafe cable at the Dayton mine.

Jennie Butler, who keeps "dive"
at No. ISL Longworth street, used to be
we'll fixed in worldly goods, but
she became infatuated at different time
with ac ors and sporting p .rple, and the
result is, she is "bustea" woman.
She now ekes out a miserable
existence by keeping rather ques-
tionabIe house at the place
above mentioned, where she keeps a bar
in from, and the Lord knows what in
the rear, of her mansion.
This morning she and two girls from
Newport, named Mollie Barker and
Lizzie Parker, were occupants of the
prisoners bench in the Police Court,
charged with robbing drunken visitor
named James Mcdonald OF $75 and an
oYercoat.
The cases were laid over until Decem-
ber 1-bond $1,000 in each case. The
girls state that Detective Jim White,
who made the arrest, took them to pri-
yate room at the Sun Salour,
and endeavored by threats and intiml-
dations to bull-doZe the money out of
them, but'as they declared they had no
money, and stuck to the statement, b s
efforts did not pan out "purty WELL"
The charge against the woman is grand
larceny.
