WOODLAND. Oct. q. - United States
Marshal Baldwin was the first witness
to-day for the prosecution in the Worden
train-wrecking case. In speaking OF the
wreck, Marshal Baldwin stated that he,
with some troops, went out to the scene
of the wreck Immediately after it oc-
CURED, and he noticed the condition OF
the trestle on the end toward Sacramento.
The ties were badly splintered and the
supports crushed down.
In answer to a question asked by Mr..
Strong as to who ordered him TO Sacra-
mento, witness replied that he was
ordered there by the Department of
Justice.
Worden showed great deal of feeling.
He is pretty near a wreck physically,
His nervous system is racked to pieces
and he is not at all like the man who was
the WOrden of strike days.
When Baldwin denied, in response to a
question by counsel for the defense. that
Worden had said anything about being
railroad employe with money due him,
the defendant broke down and tears came
TO his eyes.
Judge Fisher was summoned to pro-
duce and identity the bolts, spikes and
washers which Baldwin found on the
scene of the wreck and left in the Judges
charge after the preliminary examina-
ton.
They were examined by the jury and
found to be in perfect condition.
Leslie j. Norton was the next witness.
Mr.. Norton did not testify at the pre-
Hminary examination. Witness stated
that he was car inspector at Red Bluff;
sthat on the morning of the 1st OF July or
the Both of June, about o'clock, he was
around the Toulouse in Sacramento, near
the spur track, and he saw Worden there
with some other men. They took hand
car and started toward the trestle.
Again, on the 4th of July, they went to
the trestle, but the United States Marshal
and UConnors went with them.
Upon being ss-examined as to his
reason for being around the Toulouse on
that particular morning, Mr.. Norton
-hesitated and then admitted that he was
there with the intention of going out with
Worden and his party, but he didn't go.
During his cross examination Norton
appeared very uncomfortable. He dis
liked to admit that he was a striker, but
Attorney Strong forced him to confess
that he was.
Strong questioned witness as to whether
he had anything to do with block aiding
the wrecking train, and Norton said he
knew nothing about it, but later con-
fessed that he had received instructions
from Gallanar to go to the other side of
Lhe otO bridge to meet Wordon. The
order, Callahan said, came from Knox.
NJ. L. Dyer was another witness who
did not testify in the preliminary exam
ination. He is a brakeman, and on the
night of the I'd of July, about 10 O'clock,
he was coming up Second street when he
passed crowd OF men, to whom Worden
was talking. Witness heard him say:
IF there is man in this crowd who is
not an A. X. L. man Pll kill the -! Ii
we can't win this fight by fair means we
must win it by foul, and if ten or d dozen
men get a claw bar and pull out the spikes
To derail train, no man can tell on the
other. Ali will be to blame.''
Dyer attended meeting of the A. r.
y. during the strike. He refused to go
out on a train the day after the strike was
declared OIL.
Are you employed by the railroad
now?" Mr.. Strong asked the witness.
mo, SIR"
Are you on the blacklist?'
II expect 1 am" was Dyer's reply.
j. ID. Graham, in the employ of the
Western Union Telegraph Company as
dine repairer, testified to nothing except
what he told at the preliminary examina-
alton. His cross-eXamination was long.
but he could not be shaken in his story.
1t is understood that, owing to the ad-
mission made by Norton that Callahan
directed him to go with Worden, Callahan
is to be arrested and prosecuted with the
others.
