Aaron GIBBS last spring. when he was

upon preliminary hearing before a
justice it was proven that Brown was

to give bond for his appearance at trial,
he was confined in jail to STAY there till
wanted. lie was promptly brought back
after his first escape last spring. 1t is

HAMPTON, Va, Sept. 1l.-[Speciall-
In the Hams trial this morning the pris-
oner testified. He started out with Ham

and went on to the Rip. Raps, and from
there over to Willoughby Spit. 1--WE
turned around" said he, "and started
to race. We went up the river before
turning about. The wind died away as
he approached the fort. flanagan took
the oar and l was sculling on rounding
the jetty.
"Hannegan became frightened and
started to put ashore. This l would not
consent to. After some moro words
flanagan said he would take the boat
down with me. Whom about opposite

called him coward and told him there
was no danger.
"a few minutes later Hannegan
turned around and said. by God i'll
take the boat ashore if I have to take
you with me- said, You can'tdo that
flanagan raised his oar and said, I'll
show YOU [ then took up my pistol
flanagan said, Damn your pistol;
| am not afraid of it, and advanced
two steps. 1t was then that fired two
shots" lie illustrated to the jury the
manner in which the tragedy occurred.
Hains was not cross examined and
with his appearance on the stand the
chief interest in the trial is ended A
dramatic scene was occasioned by the
appearance of young Hams mother as
witness to the close friendship which
existed between her son and Hannegan.
She soon broke down and her distress
upset the composure of nearly every
body in the courtroom and caused the
first sign of emotion exhibited by the
prisoner.
Some evidence was presented with
the object Of determining whether the
murder was committed within the lines
OF military reservation in the county;
also to show that man. sitting in the
position Of flanagan as described by
several witnesses, could not have
struck Haines with the oar, as Haines
alleges he did. The taking of testi-
mony then closed. Argument will be-
gin tomorrow.

AT the mornings session of the Trades

motion to the effect that workmen and
workwomen should be appointed in
spectors Of factories and of working

making it penal offense for inspectors

posed by Northern miners on the ground
that further legislature would iniure
their trade, but the nation was carried
by vote of 237 to 50 after short debate.
