saw no one interfering with No. 4.
Saw Mr.. Jobe at the meeting after
being sworn to testify before the
Commission at Carlin he remained in
the employ of the 5. p. Co. an hour
and fifteen minutes. No action was
taken at the meeting tending to dis
able or destroy anything and no ac-
ton was taken toward destroying the
minutes. Witness testified to the
good reputation of the defendants in
the nelghtorhood where they resided.
Thore were freight cars in the yard
during the strike containg fruit and
| merchandise. The A. r. bays as
sisted in guarding them and protect
ing item from tramps. The cars
were iced two or three times.
Cross examined. Meetings of the
A. r. U. are held every two weeks,
| in the evening. Witness described
the meeting on the Goth. Didn't
think the telegram from Debbs read
by attorney was read at that meet
ing. There was a dispatch from
Debbs. but no allusion was made to
boycotting Pullman. There was talk
of boycotting Pullmans, but could
not tell by whom; fout or five might
have spoken of it. Prosecution in
troduced witness testimony asl given
at Carlin showing that he swore at
! that time that there was discussion
in the Lodge regarding Pullman
boycott and that the dispatch az read
at the Ledge ordered Pullman boy
colt. Was some talk in the Lodge
| about detairing Pullmans and allow
ing mail to go. Some said No. a
ought not to go and some said it
should, 1t was an Informal talk, not
regular discussion, as one discusses
questions in a Lodge, the Chair pre-
siding. Mr.. March talked them out
of interfering with the train. Mr..
Jobe was not at the meeting but
few minutes and was full at the time.
Witness did not know of dispatch
being sent to Knox of Sacramento
asking advice as to whether they
would ice cars or not. Prosecution
showed discrepancies between wit
nssses testimony just given and his
testimony at Carlin. He said he had
given testimony at Carlin under the
impulse of the moment on immaterial
matters. He attempted to show that
witness had gone on bonds when he
had no realty. Court ruled out the
testimony.
Joseph Storms. Am . member of
the Union and was at the Carlin
meeting. We decided to strike in
answer to the dispatches. Was ap-
pointed on the Mediation Committee
March was against interfering with
No. 4. March left the meeting to
get clearance for No. 4. Cleary,
Dugan, Robinson and myself assist
ed in making up and sending the
train out. l lacked the axlss and
Robinson oiled them. March was
inside. The character of all the de-
PENDANTS il good. No longer a mem.
Der of the A. r. Z.
Cross examined. Object of the
meeting was to see whether we would
go out on he strike or not. Kap-
pier read the dispatch from Debbs
first then Williams read it. The
boycott was not discussed at the
meeting. Williams and March
favored letting the train 60 As it had
passengers and mail. Didn't hear
boycott dispatch read in ledge, heard
1t on the outside. Saw cars side
tracked. Don't know who detained
train. Heard that Morgan refused
to let it go. Didn't sec anything all
day long to prevent the train from
L
going except that the Pullman's
needed oiling
| Charles Buckle residing in Carlin
knew all the defendants. Business,
saloon keeper. Saw Mr.. Jobe on
the morning of Goth half an hour be-
fore the train came in. He was
