| This caused some surprise. as Hatch has
smooth face and does not look as il he
could raise any kind of beard that would
be noticeable.
On cross-examination Casselmen said il
was WOrden who had asked him If he
| could cross his hopfield. He had known
| Hatch about year, having met him at the
election when his brother. Ed Casselmap.
was candidate for Supervisor. On the
beard question Hart was quite insislent.

from Sacramento, on the Woodland road.
lie was driving to Sacramento with his
brother when he saw a farmers cart.
Coming along behind the farmers cart
was three-seated cart with six OF seven
men. Some one shouted to the farmer to
get out of the. road. The team was bay
team. The witness was asked to identity
Hatch. and at first said Mullen was one of
the men he saw. Then when asked again
he corrected himself and pointed out
Hatch. Like Casselman, he said Hatch
was sitting on the lefthand side of the
hind seat The horses had been driven
hard.
How far from Sacramento was it that
you saw this team?" asked Carroll Cook
About four miles. | can't remember

not been looking at me-"
WAS il a man or boy who was driving
the team?"
II can't remember"
Had you seen any one of these men
before?"
Yes, l saw Mr.. Hatch on the 4th of
July 100 yards from the depot. He was
requesting ladies not to enter the depot"
A wrangle occurred here between Cook
and Hart over the Identification of the
defendant, Hatch, and Hart showed that
the witness had first identified Mullen.
Being further questioned, Sheets said he
was not looking at Mullen when he was
asked to Identify Hatch.
Il saw the defendants on the morning
Of the wreck" said A. w. Wickers,
horse-breaker, working on the Sacramento
road about seven miles from the capital.
81 saw hatch near the Monument House.
He asked me about hiring a boat. l told
him l did not have one. He said he
wanted to cross the river He asked me
il Mr.. Murtrey had one. lie got into the
cart with me to 90 to Murtrey's. There
was William Casse!man ,and Hatch asked
CasSelman if he had a'boat. The other
replied that it leaked. Hatch asked if the
boat would take six men. Casseman said
it would not. Then Hatch asked if he had
light rig that would hold six. Casselman
said not. ard recommended him to 60 TO
Entrcan's. There Hatch asked young En-
trIcan if he had row boat TO go down to
Sacramento. Hatch asked about the little
steam launch of Entrlcan's, and wanted
one of them 10 take him down in the
launch. Hatch said he could not get in 10
town on account of the military"
what conversation did you have with
Haich?"
Il asked him what be wanted to cross
the river for. and he SAID they wanted to
find three scabS."
WickerS was cr0ss-examined 10 the after
noon by Attorney GaddIs. He said he lived
on the river six years. but could not tell
whether it ran east, west, north or south.
Look >at me-" said Attorney Gaddis, and
Carr II Cook objected to the insinuation
that the witness had looked at him.
81 don't know whether he looked at you
or at the gentleman at your SIDE" replied
Gaddis. Then District Attorney Head
stood up while General hart cried: I'VE
have been informed. your Honor, that a
detective in this court has at times made
motions to witnesses. That detective is
Burke" Burke tried to get to his feet. but
his chair was tight fit. He shook his fist
at Hart across the court and muttered
something amid the laughter of the court
as the big detective resumed his seat.
The cross-examiuation of Vickers did
not change his original statement in any
material point. He made a bad break,
however, in one answer.
"Did you ever try to induce George and
Herbert Parkinson to swear that these
men tried to get boat to cross the river?"
asked Gaddis
Eyes. sir, said that"
And to take them uptown"
Eyes, sir. l said that"
Ibid you try to get them to swear that?"
''No. 1 did not try to get them TO
swear it,"
Cook objected to counsel msquoting
witness, and wrangle ensued, In which
the court granted a recess for five minutes,
alter which the witness was asked:
did you on Thursday OF last week say
to w. j. Casselman that you would go
back to the army and get some more
dough and Casselman and you would go
and blow 1t in on the grls?'
''No, sir, l never did,"
Have you been or are you employed as
detective in this case. or In any capa-
cty?"
