The morning call., 1893-10-18

went with him to visit the sailors who
and ships, whose cards Hansen saw ana
stamped. Then we went to my mouse,
where | stayed at the saloon underneath,
waiting at Hansen's request AT ABOUT
1880 P. NJ be came back and asked me TO
90 down to the seawalI. He never spoke
to me about blowing up the tug before l
took up this business with the police
saw me and said that l went
with the union men good deal and
as he said he wanted to ind out all about
1t he put me on the work ana ne pays Inc
$40 week. That is all get and expect
30 further compensation IN the event of
Hansen's conviction. l nrst mentioned
my knowledge about Hansen's action to
Officer Egan somewhat over week after
1t happened. On the night of April 8, when
we were sitting on the striDger. did not
demonstrate with Hansen about the mat
ter; / simply got up and ran. When
man strikes big fuse like that 1t is time
to run. | have been receiving money
from Hansen at the same time that l was
being paid by the police. but it was not
Hapsen's mOney-it wat that of the union
and [ worked for ii. l never told any
one about Hansen's attempt except Officer
Egan. The door of the eDgine-room was
an ordinary door about four or five feet
by three feet. Hansen, went down on 10
the lower platform and his body was en-
trely in the engine-room. He did
not walk on the deck of the tug
because the ladder on the wharf was
exactly opposite the door. During the
last two or three months, while in the pay
of the police, | have been with Hansen a
good deal. Have often been to Fisher
week TO buy fish. Am sure of my state
ment about position OF ship and that it
was about half-tide at the time. ! do not
know any of the employees of the tug
Ethel and Marion, though | knew Cap
tain Thorrold by sight l don't know
how much paper was wrapped round the
sausGge-like package; only know the
thing was about eight to ten inches long
and an inch or SO in diameter. COM
menced the trade sof boatman thirteen
years ago. ] used TO be the regular boat
man of the North Pacific Hotel, lodging
house for sailors and others. Last SatuT-
DAY | asked for a permit to go and see
Hansen In prison. My purpose was to see
if | could get any more information from
him for the police, especially TO find out
the whereabouts of T. johnson, who was
particular friend of Hansen. Was in
Hansen'S company almost every day
before his arrest. Went TO the Marine
Hospital with him. Have been TO his
room several times. 1 never bored holes
through his walls to spy on him. nor was
ever in Hansen's room while he was
away"
Another witness on the case was John
Hickins, who found the dynamite stick,
the fuse. and some wrapping paper on the
head of the cylinder of the engine. he re-
peated the statement made en- Aprll tnat
he was engineer on the steam tug Ethel
and Marion. and on being called found the
aforementioned things and Identified them,
fuse, caps and paper. the latter by the per-
forations and other marks as also by the
words printed across. He gave the size of
the dynamite stick as betWe.n eight and
ten inches and the diameter about one
inch. He likewise said that he turned
over all the things 10 his boss. Charley
Th0rrOld, captain of the Ethel and Marion.
On crOss-eXamlnahon no material Vari-
ance from his story was developed.
Samuel Harris, stOrekeeper at % East
street, remembered the visit of Officer
Egan TO his store, as also thai he had sold
two shirts one or two days before the visit
to Hansen. he recognized the wrapping
paper as like that used In his store and the
words printed thereon as being Identical
with his stamp. On cross-eXamination he
stated that he had sold hundreds of pack
ages 10 people whom he did not remember
and would not swear that the shirts he
sold Hansen were wrapped up in the
paper exhibited, nor that this particular
piece of paper might not have been given
10 policeman or some one else. There
were many patrons of bis store, all kinds
of people-IoDgshorem travellers. etc.
1t was near the ferry and convenient for
one who wanted to purchase. Probably
he had used between four and five reams
of this stamped paper, each ream contain
ing many hundred sheets, but did not re-
member at what time he used the stamp
first
The court then adjourned the case to
P. n. to-day.
