=. WOODLAND. July 20.-Much strength
: was. addsd TO the evidence against Wor-
den and Hatch at the examination before
Justice of the Peace Fisher to-day. Many
.links were welded into the chain of cir
aronndi these two defendants. So far moth
r inR:of 3. criminal a ture has been adduced
10: against Knox, Compton or Mulin, but sew
:. eral witnesses to-day positively identified
: :WoTden ana Hatch and corrobOrated the
!. boy Sherburn's testimony in many partic-
~plars. Once or twice General Hart, in his
Characterization, drew out things which
were adverse to his case and which the
- prosecution were glad to know.
: At the request of the defense the case
!. was continued this evening until Monday
: morning. Detective Burke will then be
placed: on the stand and the implements
. said. to. have, been use by Worden will be
but in. evidence, with the sticks OF giant
:, powder and OF her things found. The man
Billy Applema u. called Texas, was iden-
. tilted by several witnesses to-day. He has
NOT. vet been apprehended though it is
thought he soon will be.
: :: johnny Sherburn, who seemed to have
:. fully reco 9ered from his breakdown of the
previous day, was able to take the stand
=: first. He did-no display the same amount
of excitement he has heretofore shown

9 GepsraE Hart.
:: s''Y OIL said there were two explosionsY ?"
was the. first question.
. Yes, sir; fhere were two"
81, :: How far had you got when somebody |
. said the cavalry were coming?"

=. tsNo, sir; there was a cloud OF dust ?"
.'',Wflere you when you began 10 drive
:: fasteE.2"
:. ..'About to the road from Sacramento.
" Almost "a block from it. Couldn't see
r Washington from that point The leVee
would hide the'view."
: rt'Is there norway you can describe the
-: place where you turned around that day?"
: :'tTheTe is a clump of sycamore trees
there
= 'Didn'tyDu say it was about twelve miles
from Wood Hand ?"
>. =: !: ''Y-e IS, Sin"

'Abput ten miles"
>: Witness maintained he did not know
:: what time it was when he started after
whether it was later than II o'clock or
-. earlier than l o'clock. He said that the |
= crossroads was a block and a half from |
- the raitoad tracks, but would not swear |
: that it was not three-quarters of mile.
J. How long had you been driving when |
WoFden fell asleep?"
:. "A bout halt mile down."
= ."Where did WoTden sleep?"
."He fell al over ne."
d; BY dint of hard questioning the attorney |
established the fact that Stableman VII |
:: son had told the BOY it was quarter to . |
O'Clock when he got back to the stable,
and that it was therefore l 80 o'clock
when Wordeu got out of the buggy. In |
regard to the b1llfor the buggy, which the
boy in. his recent testimony said he had |
collected from Knox for the trip to the |
trestle, the witness stuck to his original |
story: aDout Knox being found il a room
In the old WeIIs-Fargo building where he
paid the bill.:
.:.'tDid Worden tell Knox that the bill had |
been disputed at headquarters ?" was
asked:
=. =: 10. sir"
.."Wasn't that an order and bill for a
team to Brighton"
-. AZ DONE know. did not see the inside
of the bill" =
The boy admitted that Gibson, Nose |
Drew and Wilson took him into the buggy. |
What did they say to you?" asked |
Hart.
Il don't remember"
Did they sit and look wise at you?"
They told me to come down to the
depot with them"
=, Didn't Detective Burke ask you about
your trip across the river?"
II don't remember"
% Didn't they ask you who went with
youP" g.
Il don't remember" IF
"Quite sure you can't remember? ?'
''Well, L took them to the buggy and
showed them some things in it,"
"What things2" %
''The fuse and giant powder"
AS the witness had said nothing about
giant powder yesterday this was new and
to a question the boy said Worden p1t
them in.
This is something new" cried Hart,
"Why didn't yOn tel!this yesterday"
81 wasn't asked" was the reply
You were asked what was in the buggy
yesterday"
well. Worden put them in the back of
