HERR MOST ON TRIAL.
The Prosecution Puts in Its Case a

The Prosecution Puts in Hts Case and she Court Adjourns.
 NEW YORK, May 27.-The trial of Herr
 Most, the anarchist, was resumed at 11:2O
 this morning. Assistant District Attorney
 Fellows opened for the prosecution by say
 ing the indictment was in two counts, one
 for taking part in an unlawful assembly, the
 other for acting injuriously to the public
 peace. He said that by provision of sec
 tion 451 of the code any three persons or
 more in unlawful assembly threatening vio-
 lent and unlawful action shall be guilty of
 misdemeanor. He went on to describe the meeting of anarchists addressed by Most and
 his two companions at the bar, Schenck and
 Braunschweig, for which they were arrested, and said that proof would be given that the utterances of the prisoners at that meeting were prejudicial to public peace. He referred in scathing terms to the Chicago anarchists and their use of bombs. The taking of testi- mony was then commenced.
 The first witness examined was Detective Bruner of Inspector Byrnes' staff. The wit ness testified that he was thoroughly conver- sant with the German language and attempt ed to recite from his notes what was said at the meeting, but became so confused that he had to give it up. On cross-examination as to his ability to understand German his an- swers were so halting and stumbling that he caused considerable merriment and was final ly excused. Charles M. Ulstroem, the next witness, testified that he was @ clerk in the employ of the Dominion steamship line. He identified the defendant Schenck and Most. "Most," he said, ''in his speech at the meeting referred to the riots in Chica- go and told how the people were shot down and called for revenge" Most al so referred to the Williamsburg sugar riots and said the police had treated the people wrongfully and urged his hearers to be re- venged. He also spoke about the accumu- lation of wealth by the capitalists, and urged the use of bombs. He said if the Williams burg men had revolvers the police would have to respect them. The witness went on to say that he had attended the meeting with view to making a speech in opposi- tion to Most.
 After several witnesses had described the infiammatory language by Most and his two fellow-prisoners ut the anarchist meeti1 g, the prosecution rested, and MT. Howe opened for the defence. The court then adjourned until tomorrow, when it is expected that Most will testify in his own behalf.
