STRIKE CONSPIRACY CASES.
CLEVELAND WILL NOT BE CALLED
TO TESTIFY.
Unless Defendants Defray His Ex-
penseS to and From SAN
francisco.
Special to the REcoRp.uNroN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. q. - Neither
President Cleveland nor any of the East
ert railroad men comprising the General
Managers Association will be called to
California to testify in the strike con-
spiracy cases now on trial here before
United States District Judge Morrow.
Attorney Monteith, representing the
American Railway Union men, recently
demanded that President Cleveland be
summoned to give testimony as to why
he issued his strike proclamation declar-
ing martial law, and why the troops were
called out. Subpenas We're also demanded
for members of the General Managers
Association.
The defense sought to prove that the
mails were not stopped by the American
Railway Union, but through cons Spiracy,
III which President Cleveland and the
General Managers Association figured,
and that the calling out of troops was but
an incident of this alleged conspiracy.
Judge Morrow ruled to-day that he had
no authority to subpoena any witness
from any point outside the judicial dis
trict in which he .presides. The Judge
said the defense had argued that the rail-
road companies had delayed the mails,
and that the testimony OF the President
and others would be needed to prove it,
This, the court held. was not material.
In this case it would do no good to prove
that the railroad companies had delayed
the mails. This would not show that the
defendants were innocent. If the Presi-
dent had called out the troops TO suppress
the strike in opposition to the Constitu-
ton, it would prove nothing as to the re-
sponsibility of the strike. He therefore
denied the motion.
Attorney Monteith then made applica-
ton TO have the deposition of President
| Cleveland taken. Judge Morrow took
the application under consideration. The
appointment of commission for this
purpose would be necessary.
After denying the motion for the
subpoena of President Cleveland and the
Eastern railroad managers, Judge Nor
row said he would issue the subpenas for
the witnesses desired if their expenses to
and from the city were paid by the de-
PENDANTS.
SENTENCE DEFERRED.
Los ANGELES, Nov. 27.-The sentence
of the four members of the American
Railway Union Board of Mediation.
which was to have been passed this
morning in the United States District
Court went over to allow defendants to
complete their appeal.

HATCH TRIAL,
Johnnie Sherburn and Charles Hall
Placed on the Witness stand.

Johnnie Sherburn and Charles Hall
Placed on the Witness stand.
WOODLAND, Nov. 27.-The only wit
nesses in the Hatch trial examined at the
morning session were Charles Hall and
Johnnie Sherburn.
Mr.. Hall was farmer in Yolo County
until about November 1st, when he ac-
copied employment in the repair shop of
the Southern Pacific Company. The only
purpose of his testimony was to show
there is nothing to obstruct the view be-
tween the point at which the caboose was
stationed and the second crossing, near
where the wreck occurred. sss-n
The cross-eXamination did not shake
his testimony.
Johnnie Sherburn was next put on the
stand. There was no particular variation
in his testimony from the story told at
the WOrden trial.
MIR. Cook tried hard to induce the wit
ness to attempt description of a man
who got on the wagon while it was stand
ing at the cabOose, with the evident in
tention of making it appear that Il latch
was the man. But Sherburn insisted
that he had never seen the man before
and could not describe his personal ap-
pearance.
General Hart came near inducing the
witneSe TO make an unfortunate admis-
sion tor the defense, when in the cross
examination he asked: Had you ever
seen the man before?' NO, sir"
Have you ever seen him since?" Il
have seen man who looks like him."
General Hart did not want TO hear any
more on that point.
The CrOsS-eXamination did not shake
the witness, except to tangle him little
III regard to the lapse OF time between
events.
AT the afternoon session, in the cross
examination of Johnnie Sherburn, coun-
sci covered about the same ground as in
the Worden trial, but did not succeed in
tangling the witness ou any material
points. Sherburn was on the stand until
) o'clock, and when he left it the prevail
ing opinion was that his testimony was
strong and well sustained.
Martin Halloran, Yardmaster at Sacra-
mento, corroborated the evidence of
Charles Hall, ami his examination was
brief
Jacob Schmld, Sacramento boarding.
house keeper, was introduced to prove
that NJ. Leyden, a track walker, had left
the State. The defense has intimated sew
eral times that the prosecution has made
no effort TO find Leyden. Mr.. Cook filed
a subpoena and return TO show that the
officers could not find Leyden.
The court sustained an objection of
General Hart.
Mr.. Cook said it would be necessary for
him to have the officer i'll court, and that
could not be done before Wednesday. Ii
the defense was willing TO open its case
and allow him to introduce this testi-
mony when it came, he was willing to
proceed; otherwise he would ask Tor q
continuance until Wednesday. General
Hart said ne preferred not to Introduce
testimony until the prosecution had
closed.
|, The court stated that no session could
be held on Thanksgiving Day, and asked
the defense If the case could be closed in
two days.
General Hart replied in the negative.
The defense had twenty witnesses to in
troduce, and could hardly conclude be-
fore Thursday of next week.
The prosecution will call Conductor

CASES OF BRIEN AND DUFF SETTLED.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-AIter sew
eral days OF investigation, William Brien,
trainer for Lucky" Baldwin, and Willis
Duff, stable foreman, have been warned
Oft the Bay District track by the Board of
Trustees OF the Jockey Club. The men
were not ruled OF, but simply told they
could never do business in san Francisco
again. Not enough evidence could be
gotten together to show that the men had
actually done any crooked work, but
there was strong suspicion, which
had not been overcome, that they
bad offered TO do crooked work Tor
certain bookmakers. Brien and Duff did
not work together, but operated at cross
purposes. The question, Was Rel I'll
Santa Anita pulled in the first two
races he started in here? will probably
never be answered. but there will al
ways be strong suspicion that he was.

Loss OF THE IVANHOE,
Ihe Rush Leaves Port Again in SearcI
OF the Missing Vessel

The Rush Leaves Port Again in Search
OF the Missing Vessel.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-The rev.
enue cutter Rush has again left port to
search for the survivors of the wrecked
ship lyanhoe. In view of the fact that
recent telegraphic dispatches from Vic
toria. b. c., announce the finding oflife
preservers and other wreckage, there is
very little likelihood that d single soul
remains alive to tell the story OF how the
lvanhoe went down.
IL Is expected that the search that the
Rush will make will continue for a
month, and while Captain Hooper was
not positive that he would rescue a
single person, he expressed the belief
that the exact cause OF The loss OF the yes
sci would be ascertained. Other vessels
nave gone down just like the Ivanhoe
dld, and not single person was ever
rescued to tell the tale regarding the loss
OF property and their companions.
The search will be prosecuted vieor-
ously as far as Captain Hooper is con-
cerned, but there are few if any who be-
lleve that the loss OF the Ivanhoe will be
correctly told.

yielded 10 the acre, the business of rails

raised on the island. If the representa-
tives report favorably the Spreckels in
