terday in consultation at the Monongahela
House in the rooms of Argo and Erwin.
Major Monfooth, w. j. Bremen, John F.
Cox and Thomas NJ. Marshall were also
present. They went over the evidence
carefully, and noted weak places. Just
what defensive line will be followed was
not decided. Mr.. Bremen, when asked after
the meeting what they intended to do, said:
1--WE have not como to any conclusion.
We will have a good defense to make. What
witnesses we will call or how many has not
been determined. 1t will depend largely on
their testimony. l am inclined to think
there will be q number, however. l don't
believe the cross-examination of The Com
monwealth will be as long as ours Our
course was to ask a great many
questions to show the interest of the
witnesses in the case. The. Pinkertons,
you know. are paid swearers. and we aimed
to bring ont this fact to the jury. noticed
where one of their number speaking of the
detectives before the Senate Investigating
Committee, said: They are the scum of the
earth and wouldn't believe one on oath.' 1
am sorry that statement was not made few
days before the trial commenced for the
information of the jurymen."
One of the attorneys Tor the defense stated
that their objection to the drawing OF the
jury on account of irregularities in folding
the slips had already borne fruit, as Judge
Ewing has issued Instructions about placing
names III the wheel. The point was raised
for its effect OH the jury and public. The
subject was pretty thoroughly discussed on
the streets, and surprise was expressed that
some of the tickets were folded once and
others twice. 1t is safe to say they will be
uniformly folded in the future.

directly across the westbound track. The
car was filed With people, mostly women.
In the momentary silence following the
stoppage Of the car the roar of the express
as she thundered down toward them caused
every face to blanch. Before the frightened
occupants of the car could move or-oven
give expression to their fear, the train
swung around the sharp curve at that point,
and the headlight of the locomotive not 100
feet away met their view. A panic followed.
Each passenger attempted to escape first.
The women screamed and all struggled to
get away from what seemed impending de-
struction.
In a moment the danger was all over. The
engineer had seen the imperiled car and
made mighty effort to stop his swift
moving train. The pilot was just eight feet
from the car when the wheels OF the big
engine ceased to revolve. Barring few
bruises caused by the wild rush to escape,
not one aboard the car was hurt
