American Railway Union did you see
any of these defendants?"
'No; | saw AIullin at the place at Sec
ond and j streets. | spoke TO Mullln
there and passed the time of day with
him."
A TRAITOR TO WHAT?
Attorney Hart at this point inter jected
a remark that wit. .ess was evidently
traitor and his testimony was TO be taken
with great circumspectiOn.
This brought Carroll Cook to the front
with an indignant protest. Counsel for
the defense, he said, have repeatedly in
suited witnesses in this case. He has
insulted the military arm of the Govern
ment repeatedly. and by giving a jocose
turn TO the testimony has sought to raise
a litter in court i'll the hope of helping his
case.
Hart denied having insulted witnesses.
He desired 10 keep the testimony within
proper bounds. Ii any conversation
with these defendants could be cited he
would make no objection.
'Do you know where any of the direc-
tions your order received came from?"
Il only know they came from the Sec
retary."
The prosecution at this point tried to in
troduce question to determine whether
any of those to whom witness had been
sent had told him from whom the orders
came. The defense objected to any declar-
alton Of that character being admitted
from promiscuous and unidentified in
! formation.
| In the course of a lengthy speech At
torney Hart denounced the position of
the prosecution as to the theory OF con-
! spiracy.
/ Mr.. Cook desired to correct statement
made by Mr.. Hart. He wanted to place
! himself right before the people and the
court. Just as Cook was beginning his
! speech there occurred
THE MOST EXCITING INCIDENT SINCE
THE OPENING OF THE TRIAL.
Defendant Worden deliberately got up
and walked out OF the courtroom. His
departure was noted by Attorney Bru-
ner, who called the attention of the court
! TO the matter and asked that the prisoner
| be ordered back.
Bring that man back into court 70 said
Judge Fisher, turning to Constable Nor
ell.
Morell had not recovered from his sur
prise and still kept his seat. Worden
passed out of the west door of the court
room and went down the corridor, fol-
| lowed by the eyes of the immense audi
| ence, unattended and alone.
Cook kept the floor and waited, while
everybody wondered when Worden
would allow the examination to proceed.
! In the meantime District Attorney
/ Head was making vigorous protest
against the insolent conduct Of Worden.
III this doesn't cease l shall ask the
| court to put him in irons" stormed the
| District Attorney.
After few minutes Worden returned
to the waiting courtroom. AS he was
taking his seat Judge Fisher said, Sc
verely:
"Worden, don't you leave the court
again while it is in session."
! II spoke to Constable Morell and told
him l had to leave" said Worden, sui
| lenly.
.sihat don't make any difference.
Don't you go out again unless l say sop
said the court.
Worden grumbled little, but recess
was declared. Judge Fisher arose from
his chair, and, walking 10 where Worden
was sitting, severely reprimanded the de-
fendant
''pn go out whenever L want to ~ said
| Worden.
mo you won'ti Pll have you put in
| irons !" exclaimed Judge Fisher, angrily.
II just dare you to put me in irons ~
retorted Worden. II dare you to do itp'
Don't talk that way to me, or I'll
have you handcuffed, and gagged be-
side! l don't take a dare from any
| mant
The Judge walked out of the court
room, followed by the defiant voice of the
| defendant, who said:
put me in irons! You can't do it
This amt the first time I've been ar
restedr $
| on the reassembling of court the Dis
i trict Attorney requested that an order be
| made placing Worden in charge of
Deputy Sheriff McManus, and trans
| ferring the remaining four defendants TO
the care of Constable Morel. The mo-
ton was granted and the order made.
| ALL C0NsPIRATORs ALIKE GUILTY.
Mr.. Cook continued his statement.
The American Railway Union had been
shown to be organized, and to have COM
| Initted certain unlawful acts, such as the
prevention by force of the running of
| Pullman cars, and in the furtherance of
| that purpose any crime that might be
committed would be the equal crime of
all the conspirators.
The last question asked was then with
drawn. and the witness was asked
whether he saw Noruen on Inc morning
| Of the Ilth of July.
Witness replied that he had.
"Did YOU see, on that morning, Wor-
den driving in wagon with defendant
