After a whispered consultation be-
tween Mr.. Sutherland and Mr. Bennett,
J. W. SAVAGE was Iecalied-I know
Tommy Atkinson: I saw him at The
hotel about fifteen or twenty minutes
before the shots were fired; saw him
again as l was coming away from the
jail with Stanley; he appeared 10 be
very drunk; walking away from the
lynchers; az that time the mob was
about half way up the hill; that
would bring him considerable distance
away from the Jail.
FANNY ATKINSON, one of the defen-
dants. was called-Was around town
the evening of the lynching; whe1 the
shots were fred | was in front of Pat
Shea's boarding house; 1 then crossed
the bridge an ! went up to the Jail; as l
got somewhere near IL some one told
me 10 halt. aud | did so, because l was
afr id to go any further; halted until
after tie man had been dragged away,
when Ether came up 70 me and said,
81 would have shot If Stanley
would have let me" 1 then turned away
| from the jail, and walked down to Sulli-
vans: think said something TO the
effect that Fisher ought to be hanged -
/ that would put q rope around his
neck, and pull It myself; 1 was. drunk,
and NAV have shot my mouth off more
than should have done; 1 was close 10
/ the jail when 1 met Ether; this was
after the crowd had taken Fisher away
in the fore rat Of the evening was
pretty drunk. but had sobered up some
/ when the lynching occurred.
Nh. D CKsoS recalled Albert Ether
] am sure I saw Timothy Driscoll at the
Jail when came out. I have no doubt
as to his identity whatever; he did not
follow the lynchers. He was sober.
Both sides here rested in regard
to all the defendants except the two
Enthusiastically and Dennis-and a
continuance was asked for them, for
the reason that they had some wit
nesses they desired to bring before the
Commissioner.
Nh DICKSON asked that all the de
PENDANTS, save Tommy Atkinson and
Timothy Driscoll, be committed without
bail. From the evidence that had been
adduced he thought the latter two were
entitled TO il.
Mr.. SUTHERLAND asked that all be ad-
mitted TO bail. They thought they
were entitled to bail from the fact that
even If they were concerned in the
lynching it could be little more thar
