WOODLAND, July 30.-But little was
developed by the prosecution to-day, the
beginning of the third week in the exam
ination in Judge Fishers court. No ses-
sion was held in the morning. owing to the
alleged illness of Worden, who COM
plained of a pain in his side as result of
the beating he got some nights ago from
Compton, whom, he says, kicked him four
times in the ribs when he was down. DR..
McFarlape examined Worden, and re-
ported to the court that. though he could
discover no external signs of injury, the
prisoner was complaining greatly. In
view of this fact and the absence of Gen
eral Hart, Judge Fisher adjourned until l
o'clock.
The roseate hue on Worden's nose is
paling, and close watch is being kept to
see that he gets no whisky. When he en-
tered court in the afternoon he was made
to sit by the Constable and kept separate
from the other prisoners.
The dispatches sent by the Postal Tele-
graph were not produced to-day, but will
be tomorrow. They were delivered over
to the Judke this morning. General Hart
managed to draw from one witness the fact
of the searching of private houses and the
standing up of women by the military in
their search for arms. j. f. Marshall,
Stockton militia and newspaper man, was
the first witness called. He said he had
visited the headquarters Of the A. r. Z.
or July Z. He had seen Knox and Mullin
on different occasions. On July he was
sent to room at Second and streets. He
had heard the sound Of firearms being
used in an adjoining room. When he
entered the room he found Knox, Mullin
and Compton, and the question Of whether
the militia would fire on the strikers or
not was discussed. The mediation COM
mittee was of the opinion that the militia
would join the strikers. One of them said
that if the militia had fred on the Fourth
of July not militiaman wOuld have been
left alive 10 tell the tale. Witness thought
that Compton made the statement and
Knox coneurred in It, Mr.. Marshall said
be discussed the matter from a military
point Of view, and the strikers thought
the militia would join them in case of
trouble.
''They said they would fight" said Mar
sh all, land / said. That means war" A
good deal of revolutionary talk was in
dulged in ON the chances of war in con-
nection with the strike. The strikers said
they would fight it out to the end. Stop
at nothing to accomplish the end was the
remark made. Knox told me that he knew
of the strikers going 10 Gait. Mr.. Knox
said that the regulars would neither run
the trains far nor long"
Mr.. Marshall told of second in nterview
with the mediation committee after the
wreck of No. f. Talking about the wreck.
the committee remarked that the boys had
made a mistake but the company had
brought it On themselves. Alexander, a
reporter, happened in at the time and said

audience burst into laughter.
The witness tried to show he did not
point his rifle at the lady, but at the door
through which she was TO enter. He said
that the lady's name was Small and that
Mrs. McGowan was allowed to go into her
room to quiet her crying babies.

the attorney for the defense, and the court
had 10 call for order before the laughter
subsided. The witness admitted that the
drawers and certain trunks had been
