Morning journal and courier., 1886-07-15

paper on which I read, ''This is free coun-
 try. Boycott the JOURNAL AND COURIER" l
 We afterward advertised in the COURIER.
 The next conversation had with Glidden |
 was about week after the store opened for l
 business. I met him on the street and we
 talked about the case on hand, when I told |
 him heard we were boycotted and that the
 boycottels acted on the opinion of Mir. Frank,
 who had no interest in the firm. I had no
 other conversation with him.
 Attorney Platt for the defense then cross examined the witness, who said that all the
 information he had got out of the daily papers and that he had not seen the papers
 of the several prosecutions, nor was he the complainant in the first case brought forth. MT. Platt-Did you hear MT. Frank say he (Glidden) ought to be arresteda Ans.-Yes, sir.
 "What did Glidden say to thats'' t'Take
 the CoURIER's advice, close our doors and 80 out and get policeman" Mrs. Palm, who keeps boarding house at No. 494 Chapel street, was the next witness, | and she testified as follows in answer to | questions put by Attorney Blydenburgh for | the State: I know MT. Glidden. MT. Mulcahy and MT. McNamara.
 EfDo you remember certain conversation at which Mulcahy was present?"''There were | five or six men present, MT. Mulcahy being l the only one here that was present. l heard | one of them say that the printers were pay ing fifty cents week to help the boycott1ng of the COURIER. 1 don't know who made 1 the remarks.' fFDo you know whether any I of the parties present belonged to the Typo graphical union?' ''They all belonged to l the union." "Who was there at the time?"
 ''Mr. Mulcahy, James Ryan, MT; Hunter
 with youg' EfYes." "Was anything said | what the fifty cents week should be l paid for?' ''They said it should be used to l boycott the COURIER and would be got back l from them"
 1 Attorney Platt then cross-examined Mrs l Palm, but developed no different testimony. John E. Skinner, foreman of the JOURNAL 1 AND COURIER, was next sworn and testified l that he had worked at the trade of printing l for nineteen years and for fourteen years had l been employed on the COURIER; was never member of the Typographical union in New Haven. Shortly after the boycott had been taken off the Morning News one evening Glidden and McNamara called at the COURIER office and entered the composing room, where McNamars who acted as spokes- man. said that they were ready to take the
 names of those who wished to get into Typo | graphical union No. 47 All of the men | went up and paid their $1 and l signed their names. McNamara and l GIidden looked over the list of names, and McNamara said that the names of all the men had not been signed. I looked all over the list and said all signed but Alfred Glea- son, when the latter spoke up and said he did not want his name on the list He then asked if Sherman's name was down, and I said no, that he was sick and would probably never come off his bed again. McNamara replied. Hope to C-t he never will. The next thing heard from them was note I received from Harry Kidd to call at the Morning News office on urgent business. l went over and Glidden was there, and Kidd acted as spokesman in the following conVer- satien.
 q object" said Attorney Platt, springing 1 to his feet, ''Kidd has nothing to do with the case"
 Judge Stoddard said: "But Glidden has; go on with the witness"
 Witness continuing said: "Kidd said that l if wanted to get into the union l would probably be blackbalIed at first, as there were so many strange printers in town, but that would be admitted sooner or later. The next step in the case was that l agreed to stand by the men in the office whether l they went into the union or remained out. The next I heard was after the spe- cial meeting of the Typographical union on the night of March 19, when I was sent for to go to MT. Mailhouse's printing office, which 1 did and there met Giidden and Nc Namara. McNamara said ne had sent for me to tell me that had been appointed ! membe. of Typographical union Mo- AT. ! This announcement took me by surprise and told them I had decided to stick by the men in the office Glidden then asked me | if I had fully considered the matter | and that it would not be best as I would be sure to lose my place, as the ! News printers did as result of the boycott | ting of that paper. He then asked me where would get work, and told him didn't know; | I supposed out of town. He said: What if | we should follow you and down you, as we did one man, clear to Texas? He then said | if I came into the union he would fine me ! only $10, as I had five children. l Mr. Alling-What did he say he would | fine you for? Ans.-For my past sins against ! the Typographical union, I suppose. He | fined James P. Bree S25 because he was a 1 single man. and another man $10. Mir. Alling-Did Glidden say anything l about your family coming to want? Ans.- ] He said they surely would if I opposed them, as when they boycotted the COURIER it would | surely have to yield in short tlme They | then held private consultation, after which they told me could stay in my place on the COURIER if I would join the Typographical union. I had 8 previous conversation with | Harry Kidd, in which I appealed to him to ! use his influence to get me into the Typo | graphical union. He said he would do so, l and then said who of the COURIER printers | he thought would get into the union and who would not.
 Alling-Did he refer to the COURIER boy colt? Witness-He stated he did not believe I the COURIER would fight the boycott as the I l jumped to his feet and objected to all this l conversation on the ground that Kidd did not belong to this crowd and had nothing to do with the conspiracy case.
 Judge Stoddard to MT. Platt-Sit down. MT. Platt sat down. Continued the judge: don't | think all this conversation necessary, MT. | filling, wish you would come to the point at once.
 AIling to witnsss-What was said by MT. | Kidd about how they would carry en the l boycott against the CoURIERi Plart-I object.
 Judge Stoddard-I allow the question l Witness-He said carry it on the same 1 way they did the News boycott, making the ! paper pay the expenses.
 ] The witness was then turned over to MT. l Platt for a cross examination, who started l off with this question: You spoke of an l interview with MT. Kidd in which you made an appeal to him to get you into the Typo | graphical union. Did you appeal to hin as | member of some secret ordera Ans.-l l did.
 MT. Platt-As an Odd Fellowa Ans.-I | did
 Did you write to MT. Kidd to ask him for an interview? Ans.-I did not. 1 Did friend write to MT. Kidd for yous l Ans.-He did.
 l Did you ever before apply for ad- mission to the New Haven Typographical | union?
 | MT A'1lLlS ONJOSo'
 ! Judge Stoddard-I don't believe that ques- ton ought to be allowed, and it was not.
 Mr. W. H. Conklin, secretary of the Car
 rington Publishing company, was then called
 and testified as follows: I have been with the
 Darlington Publishing company for nearly
 twelve years. I stockholder in the
 l company and have charge of certain set of
 books of the company as the secretary of the
 | company I know MT. Glidden, MT.
 Mulcahy slightly, MT. McNamara and MT.
 Busche. was in the office when the letter
 was sent to the Typographical union.
 l MT. Alling-Do you remember the con-
 ! versation of MT. Glidden and Mir. Darlington!
 Witness-I was sitting at my desk writing
 when Glidden came into the office and began
 I talking with MT. Darlington, and my atten-
 | tion was attracted to them when Mr. w. G.
 Pratt came out of the other office and said to
 Glidden:
 understand yeu are not to take all our men into the Typographical union. Glidden
 said: No.
 MT. Darlington said: Is that soa We'll, here is 8 letter to take to the Typographical
 | union.
 Glidden then left the office and came back into the office about 9 o'clock the same even.
