were forced % walk up the hill
fo the station. We told them that we had moth
ing TO conceal, and Albertson was ready to wax
through the streets without any conceaiment
and objected TO having the blinds down. The
o1Iy thing be feared was the effect OF the news
on his father. who was sick"
Cross-examined by J. Rochester, Mr. Bailey
said: "Evans first placed his arm on Albertson's
shoulder and said he had a warrant for his ar
rest" Rochester showed him the warrant as
published in the Telegraph and asked whether
that was the warrant Judge Burke objected,
~ the newspapers were Irrelevant ana ms OBJ
lection was sustained A copy of the warrant
was shown Bailey and he was asked whether
that was the warrant, and he replied that 70 the
best Of his knowledge IL was copy OF the war
rant served. Judge Burke objected TO the intro
duction OF a copy, the original being extant but
was overruled.
Mr.. Bailey's testimony proceeded: "When
Evans laid his arm on Albertson's shoulder he
said be would have 70 go with him. Aoertson
asked 10 see the warrant and he looked a. II and
said 70 was not binding. Evans showed star
rs evidence that he was n deputy, and
said he was a deputy sheriff OF King
county. The fact Of the warrant NOT
being countersigned, was frrt mentioned
in the carriage between him and AlDertson.
He gave me the impression that ne was
deputy of King county before we entered the
carriage. and we thought that as a deputy
sheriff Of Pierce county he had no authority to
make an arrest in King county. asked where
we were going, and he said 10 the sheriHs
Office. Ny recollection IL he said, y n deputy
sheriff OF King county Sullivan also said ne
was q deputy, pulled ont a lot OF papers and
showed one which he said was bis authority.
81 entered the carriage under promise OF
going to the Halter building, and when 1
found we were not going there, protested
and asked to be allowed to stop and
telephone. II could have gotten out OF the
carriage after we got on the Grant street bridge,
where / could have followed It, would have
done so. After we got in we told Evans we did
not believe he was officer or had authority TO
make an arrest. We did not swear at him until
we passed the Halter building
Rochester-Is II not true that Evans told you
the reason why he did not stop was that he
would not show any courtesy TO such foul
mouthed men rs you? Mr.. Bailey admitted
that he did use strong language, but when
asked Ills IL not true that you used language
which would shame a fshwoman?" emphGt-
fcally answered ''no"
He continued: Alter we passed the station,
they said we were too late for the train, and we
would have an opportunity to telegraph from
the race track or the station beyond there.
Sullivan said the reason why he did not
want 10 back TO go the Haller block was
that he did not want any noise
or hullabaioo-and we told them we didn't
either. On the Grant street bridge they told me
] must either keep quiet and stay in or get out.
When Sullivan choked Albertson he was at
tempting to get out OF the carriage.
Judge Rochester thea asked:
"Did not you know that Albertson was under
arrtst7'
81 knew they were trying to arrest him." was
the answer. sullivan choked Albertson both
to keep him from getting out OF the carriage
and to keep him from yelling Albertson called

lied to me on three distinct occasions. called
him q liar when we got on the Grant street
bridge. Mckay got in the hack after
Sullivan had put his hand back and
faid We couldn't act like gentlemen,
and he would send in a man who would fix US
and keep Us quiet. didn't believe they were
going to arrest Albertson after they had sid

read the warrant in the carriage. Evans
and Mckay both told me l could
get out IL I wanted to on the Grant
street bridge. did not hear Evans tell Mckay
said he had called on sullivan and Mckay to as
sist him. Aibertson had only his head out of
the window when he was shouting for help.
"The officers did not interfere with our liber-
fly of action at Black river. asked Albertson
two questions by note. We both went into the
operators rooms, and the operator gave US milk
and pie and we stretched out on a bench. Then
"Ddn't you hear him say: That man Is my
partner and Judge Burke said the warrant was
no good, as he had no authority in this county,
wave stick and threaten to beat him into q
iellyf"
"No, did not hear t."
In reply to Judge Burke Mr.. Bailey said they
went 10 Black River because the horses were ex-
hausted, or he supposed they would have gone
further.
X. B. Albertson told OF his arrest on Third
street by Evans. He continued: 81 did not
want to question the validity of the warrant,
and asked the alleged deputy to allow
me TO walk 70 my Office to see my
partners and he said. NO, sir, you can't walk to
your Office then asked to see 1t again and saw
it was issued in Pierce county, and without
knowing surely what the law was, /
denied his authority. He threw back his coat
and 'howed a badge, and tried to thrust me into
haCk. l remember that / thought If / was
spirited away / would let my friends know.
j saw a mani believe IL was this man
tpointing to NcKayl-and asked him to
telephone to my partners. But / saw from the
expression of his face he was one of the party.
Evans tried to get me into the car
rage and Sullivan came forward, saying
he was deputy. They tried TO force me, and l
resisted going alone. At this time Bailey
came forward ana offered 10 90 with
me to the Halter building. They agreed
10 go to my office in the Halter building.
j tried to pull the blinds up, but Evans pl O.
vented. After we had driven some distance,
and saw we had passed Columbia street, l at
tempted to make an cutlery, and / think at that
time was told was driving to the station.
Thinking that at the station would be able TO
telegraph my friends, remained quiet, but
after passing the station became aw re that we
were being driven over the Grant street bridge.
then determined To get out OF the hack and
made some effort TO do It, Ev-.ns took
me by the arm, which Is yet black and blue
and sullivan choked me. As We drove on
shouted Hello to passersby and asked permits
sion 20 go to Hemrick's brewery and telephone
% my friends. Sullivan, at the time was try
ing to get out, was engaged in a controversy
with Bailey and made motion TO his hip
pocket Then he said he would send
some one in who would fix us
do not know whether he said he said he would
beat our brains out Mckay entered the hack
in threatening manner and made some men
seing remark. After we passed the next brew.
cry saw a man on horseback and told him we
were kidnapped, and asked him TO 20 back and
telephone from the brewery.
Judge Rochester-We don't want to know
anything about your being kidnapped.
Albertson-I was being Kidnapped.
Judge Rochester then moved TO strike out all
the evidence except hat referred 10 the assault,
saying he had been very patient with him
Under eross-examination Mr.. AlbertSOn said:
"Mr. Donworth had Just left the Office with me
and l didn't know whether Mr. Preston was
there or nos. don't remember whether Evans
offered u show me his commission. don't think
