THE
Does not Appear to Materially Weaken
His Evidence
(From Fridays Daily.)

! ]Ot or Jlttlo. Inc court room was not
crowded today as on previous days.
Old Sol was a little kinder and put in
fewer strokes, but otherwise the same
big fan waving scene appears for an
audience.
At the time of going to press Thurs
day evening RosenoW was still under
going his cross examination. He was
asked if he had gone to Reeds office
for the purpose Of getting $4,000 in
settlement of the criminal and civil
part of the case, $4,000 Of it to go to
himself, 5000 to Cowie and So, 900 to
Robinson. He said Robinson had made
such a proposition there. RosenoW
said they discussed the proposition at a
saloon before they went to Reeds
office Robinson spoke Of the offer in
Mr. CoWies hearing near this office in
the hallway.
While Robinson was at the factory
he had a revolver, but RosenoW did not
see him point it at either of the watch
men Mr.. Foster quit his cross exam
| ination at 1870 and Mr. Scanlan began
again. He picked up the thread OF
Cowie's taking charge Of witness, but
dropped off in a few moments when
Mr.. Foster took up the matter Of Rose
noW's release on his own recognizance.
On re- direct examination Mr.. Quarles
asked about the statement made by the
states attorney concerning the fact
that he would be responsible for his
showing up here for trial. RosenoW
said he was afraid of the other defend
ants and had received threats from
Robinson and had asked the protection
of COWie. He did not know where he
was going when taken to Reeds office.
| CoWie said: You cannot buy me, =
when that proposition was made by
Robinson. Huetfer was friend Of ia
cobson's. He knew Of the requisition
being out at the time he went to Reeds
office. He could not see at the factory
as to whether any revolver had been
drawn by Robinson or not on the Pol
ish Waterman at the factory Sunday.
Mr.. Seaman returned again to the
cross examination and asked ques-
ton which brought Mr.. Quarles to his
feet in bitter denunciation of Mr.. Scan
Ian as pettifogger. Judge Fish re-
buked Mr.. Seaman also and told him
he was asking improper questions.
RosenoW was dismissed from the
stand at o'clock.
L. Fl. Harding was next called. He
was the hardware dealer of 429 South
Western avenue, from whom Robinson
bought the tin cans, chutes and screw
eyes. He testified practically the same
as he had at the preliminary hearing.
He told about meeting Robinson at the
wholesale hardware store and detailed
the talk concerning the making Of the
tin cans and chutes, and the ordering
Of the screw hooks and a sprinkler.
He saw the stuff loaded on the wagon
and then his attention was called to the
tin cans which were left behind and he
identified them. Then the burned cans
were brought in His judgment was
that these were of the same lot of cans.
Tie burned chutes he also identified
the same way. He saw Robinson about
five weeks afterWard and Robinson
told him he was in trouble with the in
surance companies. Saw Robinson
later. jacobson called him out to re-
pair an ice box and he met Robinson
at the place Jacobson called him to.
Went with jacobson in the buggy.
Robinson met them as they alighted.
He approached witness with roll Of
bills in his hand. Witness refused to
have anything to do with the money.
Robinson followed witness up and in
sisted on his taking the money, telling
him he must take the money. Witness
refused. Then he insisted on the tin
cans and boxes being destroyed. Wit
ness refused this also.
Mr.. Seaman conducted the cross ex-
animation. 1t was very short and Mr..
Quarles soon came to the redirect eX-
animation. He asked Mr.. Harding to
identify to the best of his Judgment the
man who was in the buggy. He be-
lieved it to be jacobson.
Frank Richard was next called. He
said he was in the employ or Harding.
Saw the benzine transferred from the
barrels to the tin cans. He asked Rob-
inson what he was going to do with the
benzine. Robinson replied that ben
zine would make street cars go faster
than electricity and these cans would
do it. He was experimenting he said.
He then detailed the transferring of the
benzine to the cans. Mr.. Richard was
not cross examined.
Court adjourned to 8 o'clock Friday
morning.
Court opened very promptly at 9
o'clock this morning. After the jury
had been polled Rosenow was called to
the stand again.
Mr.. Seaman returned to the cross
examination. He was asked if Rogers
had not summoned him to conference
