Carlin, Aug. 13.

testimony was not shaken IN the
least.
The defense placed F. II. cCreary
on the stand. He testified that he has
resided in Carlin for five years. Was
in front Of Tom Harris saloon when
No, 4 arrived on June 18th and there
were with him Dryer; Kinnel, Bar
rett and Dago. He remained there
until Mr.. Morgan gave the signal and
the train was disconnected. Remained
there all the time until after the train
was cut.
Harrington moved to throw, the evil
dence out on the ground of it not
having reference to to the defendants.
Wren replied that Asher had testified
to having seen Dwyer between the
cars before the pullmans we're de-
tached and he desired to prove by
this witness that Dryer was not near
the train until after the pullmans we're
detached. The Commissioner ruled
that the evidence, should be admit
ted. g..
On cross-examination of McCreary
the prosecution tried hard, to break
the witness down but did not appar-
emily succeed and his testimony was
not at, all weakened. Nearly every
question that could suggest itself to
any mans mind was asked the witness
by Harrington, but they did not shake
him in any particular, and each ques-
ton answered seemed only to strength
Ell his testimony.
l.. Barrett was placed ON the stand
for the defense. He testified that he
had resided in CarGn for six months
was sitting in front of Harris saloon
when No. arrived on June Doth. Saw
Jas. Dwyer sitting there. He re-
NAMED there until the train started
and it pulled in two.
Barrett's testimony was not shaken
when cross-eXamined.
On cross examination Dennis asked
him all about the time of day he was
IN the habit of dining, and wanted to
know if he dined at the fashionable
hour of 5 O'clock. Witness did not
know what time he dined, but is
would appear that his meals were like
most railroad men, rather irregular.
On redirect examination, Wren
asked witness il he was fashionable
man and if he dined at fashionable
hour, and was one Of the 400. Wit
ness denied laying any claim to being
fashionable man and assured the
Commissioners he was not member
of the 4UO. At this point Court adj
journed until 9 A. NJ. to morrow.
