WOODLAND, Aug. 1.-THE testimony of
Fireman Dennekamp, who went with
Sam Clark to his awful death, and Mrs.
Vanhuzen, who had promised to 60 with
him throughout life, gave today's pro-
ceedings in the train wrecking examine
ton peculiar interest.
II. I. McCabbe, road overseer for the
Southern Pacific company at Sacrament
to, was the first witness called this
morning. Witness testified to having
seen strikers disable trains he also saw
cannon in possession of American
Railway union men. ION July Sd a
threatening crowd of men gathered
around an engine at the depot, and
asked Mullin why he did not keep them
back. Mullin answered: what can a
man do with crowd like that p" Wit
ness was at the scene OF the wreck. A
wooden model of the trestle was intro.
duced, and by it the witness described
the manner in which the rails were
loosened. The ties showed the marks
OF the clawbar used in withdrawing the
spikes.
Upon cross- examination, General Hart
asked: rs it not fact that guard rails
render detachment less lisble?"
Attorney Cook objected to the ques-
ton, when Hart replied that he was not
sure in his own mind that the railroad
company did not cause the wreck.
Thomas O'Conner. track foreman,
testified that on July 3rd, half mile
from the yellow bridge, he found a rail
torn up, the fsh plates removed and
the spikes drawn out.
It. f. Heintzleman master mechanic
OF the Southern Pacific company, testi
fed that be saw Knox endeavoring to
induce trainmen to leave their posi-
tions; he saw Millin leading crowd of
strikers that disconnected the Pullmans
from the train on July Sd. Witness tea
tilted to going to Marshal Baldwin's
assistance on that day and was pushed
from the engine. Worden was in the
crowd.
At the beginning of the afternoon
session witeess Hsintzleman was tenn
porarily withdrawn to permit Chief
Clerk Montgomery, of the superintend-
ents office, to testify. Witness said he
was acquainted with defendants Knox
and Hatch; also with man named
