At this stage Of the Cross examination
the witness had lost much OF the calm
assurance which he at first maintained
and was caught mapping as to one or two
minor details In his direct testimony.
8. T. Ingram said some one handed
him . circular early on the evening Of
May 4th, from which he learned there
was to be q mass mcetinR on the Hay
market. He went home to supper and
arrived at the HaymGrket about the time
Spies called the meeting to order. He
occupied position close enough to heal
what was said from the speakers wagon.
When Parsons finished speaking
and Il was understood thai
the meeting was to ad-
iOurn to Z ph's hall, the
witness went with others to that place
and In the saloon adjoining the hall saw
Parsons and Fischer. Finding there was
to be no speaking at the hall he return
ter part Of Fielding's speech. He saw
Fielding Afight from the wagon and
heard the bomb explode. He believed
Fielding did not do any shooting and
thought he left the vicinity as rapidly
as he could. he noticed that the firing
seemed to come from the police
The witness produced the circular
which he gwore was handed to him or
the street. It was one Of those from
which the working men, arm yourselves
and appear In force" had been omitted
This Is the very circular OF that kind thai
has been preserved since the HAymarkei
riot by q witness who was present at the
meeting. The defence presented num-
Der Of the revised ones, but till now &c
one Of them had been traced to the
hands Of an eye witness OF the riot who
had received 1t from q distributor. The
point was q surprise to the state and

Ingham.

The cross-exAmination was devoted +

statements with those he made to tn
states attorney on May 9TH. Since tina
time the witness had visitet
the scene OF the riot an
taken measurements Of the dis
lance between the entrance to tn
alley and where he stood and where tn
bomb thr0wers stood. He had then
carefully entered In . note book an
as nearly the same as those given Ia
states attorney as could be expected
taking In to consideration that the nigh
was dark and the witness memory I'm
decided. The state has claimed that tn
bomb was thrown from very near tn
entrance to the alley. Burnet's testi
mony makes the spot further south b.
nearly twenty feet. The cour
adjourned until Monday morning.
