II heard that there was no search war

Knox had too much strength to allow you

Witness answered the question in
roundabout way. and then he was asked
if he hadn't gone out on the streets and
represented that he had found arms in
Kuox' rooms.
"Yes, sir. did," said the witness. hesi-
tatingIy, "but l heard a description of
man that answered Knox description.
A slight kissing went around the court
room and then Marshall qualified his state
ment by saying that he was friend OF
Mr. Knox.
"Do you consider it the act Of friend
to spread such story around as that?"
asked General Hart.
The witness got badly mixed up at this
and tried precatingly to describe his
reasons for being friend OF Knox and
spreading the story that he had discovered
arms in Knox rooms.
Are not you the only man that spread
that scandal?" sternly repeated the coun-

rooms" retorted the witness. doggedly.
Had you arms at the time?"
"Yes, sir"
Have you 1t revolver now p
"Yes. sir. have"
That's very dangerous, indeed"
sneered Hart. and the audience sniekered
The witness said he had seen rife car
tridges in Knox's room. When asked the
difference between a 44-caliber revolver
cartridge and Winchester rife cartridge
witness remarked naively. anywhere
from one-half to IL inches." whereat the
audience, which was at the time Win
chester rifle audience. burst out into an
uncomfortable fit of laughter.
"Were they souvenir cartridges? ?" asked
Hart, cartridges that the militiamen
gave as souvenirs? You heard about that,
didn't you|
"Well. l heard about 1T, but don't be-
lieve it was true" said the militaman.
General Hart then showed the witness a
cartridge, which Marshall said was pis-
tol cartridge.
After recess witness said he was not
speaking of Knox's rooms, which was a
surprise tc all, and asserted that he was
speaking all along of rife cartridges in
McGOwan's lodging-house, and not of
Knox's rooms. He stated positively: 81

cartridges in McGowan's room. l saw
only pistol cartridges in Knox's ROOM"
About that conversation about the
Fourth of July affair with the mediation
committee. What did Mr.. Knox say?"
asked General Hart
.WeH, if you ask me what Mr.. Knox
and Mr.. MuIiin and Mr.. Compton said l
can tell you, but can't segregate them.
[ can't tell you what Mr.. Knox said per-
sonally."
Witness said that the only conversation
was on the strike. He bad spoken to
Judge Armstrong and Alvin Bruner on
the matter, and had given copies of his
papers containing the subiect-matter of
the statements of Compton and Mullin to
the attorneys.

suggested Hart

Witness admitted that he had paid his fare
from Stockton and got a receipt for it,
which he hoped to present to the County
Clerk when he got through his case. He
repeated that Compton said the militia
would not fire.
"Weli, did they fire?" asked the counsel
The would if they had got orders"
responded the witness.
''We'f if they did get orders?"

but to Feie satisfaction of myself and the
readers of the paper for which l wrote"
'Are YOU discharged from your paper ?'

piled she witness with dignity.
''Are you a candidate for of+ice?"

"What is it, Coroner or Public Admins

objections TO answering this question that
it was passed and he was asked if he had

was excused.
