The herald., 1894-07-28

Hart cross-examined witness at great
len 9Th. Counsel wanted to know ii the
soldiers had been ordered, through the
marshal, to shoot down people in pro.
tecting Southern Pacific property.
The witness refused to answer the
question on the ground that communi-
cations between officers OF the govern
ment were not subject to overhauling in
random examination.
The court sustained witness in his re.
fusal to answer. Witness was excused
and the court adjourned for the noon re-
CESS.
At the afternoon session Marshal
Baldwin was sworn. He was examined
By Carroll Cook. He testified as to the
condition. of affairs at Sacramento when
he arrived. Knox said he did not OBJ
ject to moving mail trains, but claimed
that the Pullmans ought not to be con-
sidered any part of mail train. Wor-
den was at that interview and had
good deal to say. At that time Knox
asked the marshal not to take too many
deputies along, as 1t would be easiar to
handle the crowd.
Witness told OF the exciting events on
July Sd. He saw Worden in the crowd;
he was very unruly and refused 10 obey
the orders of the witness. AT last the
witness ordered Worden arrested; then
Mr.. Mullin asked witness not to cause
Worden's arrest; that if he would not
he (Mullin) would bave Worden taken
away.
Marshal Baldwin's account of the
second interview at the Golden Eagle
hotel with the mediation committee waa
substantially ths same as the version of
Mr.. Knight. Witness said that Knox
always declared he would do all he
could to control the men and preserve
the peace, and anked witness to be
lenient.
On cross.examination Mr.. Baldwin
said that so far as Knox, Mullin and
Compton were concerned they were al
ways respectful toward him, but Worden
was not always so.
Major H. Weinstock was called to
identify the reports of Colonel Nunan
submitted in evidence. The cross-ex-
animation of the witness was merely
corro boration Of direct evidence.
Gsorge Semi of Sacramento was next
called. He is manager OF the Western
Union Telegraph company in that city.
Witness was in attendance in com pill
ance with a subpoena which required
bis presence, together with certain mes
sages sent from his office. MIR. Senf be.
lieved that the subpoena WAS illegal,
because the messages asked for we're not
sufficiently described. and read the rules
| of the company in this respect. The
witness expressed a strong disinclina-
tion to answer any questions till ordered
by the court. The query: "Did you
bring any kilograms with you in compli-
ance with that subpoena" brought on a
long discussion. Mr.. Cook demanded
an answer. Mr.. Semi refused to reply
without an order from the court. Mr.

ern Union between June 9th and JULY
10th, signed by Knox, Hatch OF
Hughes, from Sacramento to Chi
cago, Willows, Lodi, Gait and
Los Angeles. General Hart came to the
relief of the witnees in a speech IN
which he denied the right Of the prose-
cution to compel the witness to produce
any kilograms before authorities could
be given. Attorney Bruner said all the
witness wanted was proper authority in
the form of an order from the court, duly
entered upon the business, and that
then the witness would produce the re-
quired documents. Judge Fisher re-
fused to make the order, and the witness
WAS temporarily Withdrawn.
During the afternoon proceedings
Worden was exceedingly boisterous and
unruly, and once addressed the court,
but was compelled to sit down. At the
conclusion of the testimony, General
Hart made strong argument demand
ing bail in behalf of his clients.
Knox, Mullin and Compton, but the
court refused to allow it at this time.
Trouble occurred tonight between
Worden and Compton in the county Jail
at the conclusion of today's proceed
ings. Worden behaved unruly and was
insulting. When demonstrated with by
Compton he insulted the latter and a
fight ensued. Compton cut his hand in
the fracas and Knox stepped in between
the two and thus put stop to the hos.
tilities. Later Worden used profane
language in the presencs OF Mrs. Knox
at the county Jail. He repeated it q
second time when cautioned to be quiet.
Worden was thrown down by the lady "a
husband and choked until he apologized.
