Sebastian Hemberger, Sacramento
River fisherman, was called. He lives
three miles above Sacramento on the
olo side. On the day OF the wreck he
was tarrIng net on the levee at Bryte's
ranch. About 1910 o'clock he heard two
explosions. They were louder than q

Looked that way, and saw several men
standing at the crossing from the main
road TO the wreck. The explosions were
TO the right of the crossing. Some men
were running from the place of the ex-
plosIon toward the crossing. They were
on the railroad crossing. Then they ran
back toward the trestle.
Then | alarmed the house, he said,
''and told them of the explosion. Pretty
soon the train came along, going very
slow. The explosions were about ten
minutes before the train came. | then
finished my work and got in my scow."

wreck. -Four men came along. The wit
ness could not identity any OF the defend

On cross-examination, the witness
stated that Bryte's place was about half a
mile from where the lane crosses the
railroad. Witness was distant a little
over mile from the wreck; he couldn't
see the point of the wreck on account of
hop field. He could see only the rear
car of the train. He had carried six men
over the river; never saw any of them
before. They were armed.
He put the men over on the Sacra-
mento side. Didn't see where they went.

defense and wanted to know what to tell
them as to the time when they would be
needed.
Mr.. Cook stated that the prosecution
would finish its case by tomorrow noon,
If 1t were not for cross-eXamination. The
length of time it would take would de-
pend very much upon the character of
the cross animation.
Postmaster W. s. Leeke of Sacramento
was put on the stand at the opening OF
the afternoon session, kress being ex-
cuSeG for time.
Witness was acquainted with the de-
PENDANTS. He made their ACC quaintance

order. 1t was given to witness by his
superior officer, Colonel Nunan.
Didn't you know the United States
Marshal had no right to issue such an
order?'
II didn't suppose anything of the
kind. 1t was my business to obey the
orders OF my ohlcer."
The position OF the witness gave At
torney Hart an opportunity to display
his animosity to the military arm of the
Government, OF which he was not slow
TO avail himself

next witness. Mr.. Scroggs is a gentle
man OF great ayolrdupois. aud when he
