" 1t Is very hard on me. as | Will have TO I
leave the neighhorhood in which | was
born and bred. Two policeman have
warned me to keep my eyes open, as man
is now hanging about to kill me. / could
not help being witness against Cunning
ham. The police learned that | carried
Cunningham box from the steamer. and
summoned me, and | was bound over to
appear as witness Monday night, as |
passed Midghall street gang shouted, We
| belong to the right gang, we do | asked
what was meant by the right gang@ \
man named kerrigan abused me- and |
thrashed him. Next night q great crowd
gathered at the same place, and chased me
for several blocks. While | was running
away Kerrigan and his two sisters went to
my house, smashed the windows and as
saulted my wife, beating her badly. a
crowd gathered, yelling, Hang the in
former | lost much time over Cunning
hams trial, and made little over my eX-
| penses. Hestors wife confirmed these |
statements. Both are scared and iii danger.
If the news of the recent assault upon
Mrs. Hestor here could reach Cunningham
and Burton in their cells of silent and
hopeless exile, they would doubtless bitter
ly resent the outrage which couples their
names with violence done to an unotlend-
ing wife of an unintentional witness against
them. Whether innocent or guilty, both
Cunningham and Burton in their long and
| tedious prison hours must have time to
learn the useless brutality of bounding to
death those who were unfortunate enough |
to have been called 10 the witness-stand in
the dynamite trial. Hestor is the porter
who carried Cunningham s box from the
steamer Adriatic last December. and test-
fed in Court to this effect. Since then it
had become the habit of many people pass
ing his house to call him informer and |
sometimes to shout, "What did you do
with the 500 blood-money?' This annoy
ance passed into the stage of violence, and
Mrs. Hestor was brutally beaten by an
lrishman and two Irish women, who were
convicted and sent to hard labor The eX-
ample just set may prove to be their
security.
