Mayor Hanson and Mr.. Williams were
in the house after 1t had been broken

Joseph Stupka, husband OF the last
witness, was called next. The inter-

preter, Jslowskey, turned the English
into Polish for Mrs. StupBa she recon
verified it into her husbands dialect,
Polish No. 2. The latter's answers were
then retrsnsisted TO that kind OF Polish
which Jslowskey oomprehended and then
1t was transformed into English, winch
the counsel seemed to understand, but
which hardly anyone elss in court could
comprehend. Supka heard the shots in
his house. He generally corroborated
what his wife had stated. The mayor
was there about IL O'Clock.
Alice Nenlk, another Pole, lived next

In making his opening statement Mr..
J Vspdegrift said he intended showing that
the riot commenced in Dobbinsville
: about p. m.; that the aggressors were
I the men who lived in Hungarian row;
that the accused were on,y present. to
protect their houses and families, and
that had they not done 80 there would
! have been murisr. He was prepared TO
show that only until they were ordered
to fall in line and to march Gid they
march upon Hungarian row; that
, the Hungarians were the first ag-
: gressors. They had terroriaed the
: town previous to this breaking in of the
Ave houses on Hungarian row. The
!. HungsEiana had formed in line marching
!, about beating men and women. He
+ would show that o previous quarrel was
Q caused by people who came to Dobbins.
Q vile; that the AGO Sad had nothing TO do
! with 1t hut that the Huusariaps punished
u everyone indiscrio inatsly on account of
0 that fret quarrel. The last riot was to
ayenge q quarrel with which the accused
had nothing whatever to do.
8 Harry Taylor, No. 6l3 Clymer street,
!, Dobbins7iIle, was the first witness for
defenoo. Mr.. Vandegrift attempted by
s this witness to show that the fact OF the
" accused having guns and weapons, was
y due to the fear OF Hungarian revenge fol-
q lowing the riot which occurred at p. m.

J, adjournment to $50 in the afternoon.
