posed of yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock, but by reason of the fact that
Eugene Pnndle understsod court
would not oonveke until O'Clock, one
half hour was wasted in looking him
up before anything could be done.
When at iast he was found, BENJAMIN
Hanchett Was recalled TO further en-
tighten the court ~ 10 the truth Of III
sts tement relative 10 the Valley City

ticlee of association were introduced ne
evidence. Mr.. Hanchsii wac some
what further questioned about the
Cherry and Fulton street trouble which
occurred during the recent strike, and
also concerning the value of the wheel
pit At the Sweet street station. la re-
gard 10 the latter Mr.. Hanchett
thought about $500 was toe proper
value. There were many objections
made to the witness giving any tesu-
mony about the Caerry street affair on
account OF his not being a competent
witness, but the judge heard the an
swsrs TO the questions. none of which
were essentially material, reciting
simply the fact that there ~as trouble

tipped over and slightly damaged.
Mcbride said he would like 10 have his
clients included in the general motion
TO discharge made the day before.

charge all OF the respondents, because
there bad been nothing sdducec IN
evidence TO connect any of them with
conspiracy TO obstruct the Valley
City Street and Cable Railway Com
pany.

admissible ia this case. because IL con-
etitutes confessions which were super
