would split it downward. Heinzleman
said he had had considerable experience
using giant powder.
On cross-examin alton he said he had
seen Worden and MulIin in the crowd that
killed IN engine on July g. He had not
seen Knox trying to prevent the killing oil
engines.
did you see who threw that monkey
wrench?" asked General Hart.
81 did not"
Don't you think an engine weighing
1900 pounds plunging off the rails would
be sufficient to split the upright tim
bers?"
mo, sir; I do not think So"
'Is there anything 10 science or mathe-
MATES by which you can prove that?"
mo. sir; judge from practical expert
ence. [ have seen engines go off bridge. "
Can YOU calculate in any way the weight
of the engine by the momentum Of 1t at
the timer"
mo, sir; / can't"
Carroll Cook asked if 1t were not true
that only TWO bents were split, and that
the other bent had received the same
weight
That's quite true"
what was the weight of that engine
sixty tons?" asked General Hart.
Yes, sir; about that"
"Aud. with the tank, 10, 600 pounds ?"
"Yes, sir"
That's weight enough to split the State
Capitol to pieces" said General Hart, as
he turned away.
"We must calculate the weight with the
momentum"
Master Carpenter Phil Douglas also told
about the way the trestle was broken up.
He thought the stringers would save the
bent from the weight of the engine. he
had found a fishplate On the bank. 1t was
not bent or twisted.
Have you seen the effect of giant pow
der OH timber?"
"NO, sir; L have not"
"Would powder not blacken the timber
SOMEWHAT"
"Pd naturally suppose it would" Wit
ness remem bered the accident near Web
ster two years ago.
THAT was caused the same way as this.
was it not?"
No; this was good clean job" replied
Douglas.
1T was by the rails spreading ?" sug-
gested Hart.
ut was a different kind of spreading,
though" retorted the witness signif-
cantiy.
Standing on the steps Of the smoking
car, II. l.. Stevenson had a good view OF
the accident to No. 4, and related it
wildly. The train slowed up at treste 81
to twelve or fifteen miles an hour. The
train, he said, left the depot at 12:O4h by
his watch.
Waterman on the Oakland pier, J. S.
Dennekamp, had taken the place of the
fireman on Sam Clark's engine. and saved
his life by jumping on the track when No.
toppled over into the marsh. He related
his story at the time and repeated it in
court yesterday. Dennecamp is very deaf,
and the attorneys had to shout out very
loud to make him hear the questions.
Noticing this. General Hart asked him ho W
he could have heard. as he said. the
strikers shouting at him on the engine
when the train was rumbling along the
tracks through Washington.
That's fact" cried Dennecamp. In his
monotOnous voice.
II can hear better than you can when
there's a noise"
"What?" calculated Hart.
81 dOn't know how to explain it," replied
Dennecamp, but suppose it is because
l am used 10 the noise Of a locomotive
There was silence for a moment, then
Dennecamp explained that he was {
.Daoutv Marshal anpointed bU Parry r ! IN
win. BE was also a special officer.
WHO appointed you?" yelled Hart.
1.-THE city of Oakland"
"Who represented the city of Oakland to
appoint you?"
Myself" [Laughter.l
'Did all the people of Oakland come to
you and in one voice appoint you?" cried
Hart again.
mo, sir. The railroad employees at the
pier voted for me-"
WAS there an electlon?"
Pm not in politics, sir. If l was
wouldn't be fring.''
well, how did you get appointed? ?"
The railroad employees at Oakland piel
voted for me. They elected me-"
"Oh. then the employees of the Southern
Pacific Company made you special off
cer?"
Yes. sir; that's it." Laughter.l
The prosecution will continue Its case
in tie morning and General Hart will ihe1
ask for dismissal. He will insist on tni
as regards Knox, Compton and Mullin.
= NOBODY CAN WORK.
