The attorney looked at the witness for
/ o moment without any further question,
and then allowed him to go.
/ Officer Martin Quinn was then called
to the stand. He tes lied that three or
four days after the Haymarket he went
TO the house Of Engels and found in the
basement crucibie made OF heavy sheet
| iron. Engles said the machine had been
brought to his house some weeks before
by Q man who said il was to DO used for
/ melting mat rial used in making bombs.
Engels said he told the man It could be
used for no such purpose in this house.
The man placed it in the bafement, how
ever, and went away. The crucible was
brought into the court room and created
1 considerable excitement. 1t stood about
/ three feet high on three strap iron legs
| and three or four inches from its bot
tom was 3 small outlet through . spout.
| The apparatus did not look as il il had
| been exposed to sufacie heat TO melt
lead. The crufcible was closely inspected
by the defendants and Inspector BoDfeld

You have worked at the trade Of q ma
ohinist, have you moi? Then tell the

use had not been In court.
Captain Black for the defcnre en-
deavOrs to show that Bopfie'd's testimony
as an expert was faulty, and that the APP

lendorf, tinemith, who sFore that he
had made the apparatus or the principal
part Of IL for Engel, who took it away
when tt was dn1Ahed.
The croas-examination wAs short and
did not affect the testimoney, though the
