PULLMAN's FLIGHT.

The Judge 10 Make II Hot for Him.
Debs ON the stand.
Chicago. Feb. THE Debs case was
preceded this morning by an examina-
ton OF William r. Johnson, a colored
porter in George NJ. Pullman's office
Judge Grosscup conducted the examina-
ton. which was instituted with the view
OF finding out whether Mr. Pullman had
eVaded service OF a subpoena issued for
his appearance in court by the defense.
Johnson said Mr.. Pullman came TO his
Office at 1880 O'Clock Tuesday morning
Deputy Marshal Jones arrived an hour
later. Porter johnson took Mr. Jones'
card into Private Secretary c. S. Sweet,
who, without going into Mr.. Pullman's
room, brought back the card with the
statement that IIr. Pullman was out
The defense tried to get Secretary Sweet
into court but stated to the Judge that
he, also, had disappeared. The matter
will be pushed.
Judge Grosscup said that even long after
this case is finished when Mr.. Pullman
gets back from Florida, he can be pun
ished for contempt Of court If 1t shall be
proved that ne evaded the subpoena. The
intention of the court was to find out the
truth of the matter.
Miss Jennie Curtis testified that when
an employe at Pullman she had been COM
PEELED to pay her dead fathers rent
President Debs was called. He was al
lowed to read several of his manifestoes
in which everybody was counseled to alb
stain from violence and obey the law.
Mr.. Debs remained on the stand all the
morning.
In beginning the cross examination of
Mr.. Debs, Attorney Edwin Walker asked:
Il am to understand from your state
ment that you had nothing whatever to
do with this strike or boycott at alp"
He then put the witness through a hot
cross examination. 1t was brought out
that all the service that Debs ever did
for railroad was as a fireman and car
cleaner, during a period of four years.
Mr.. Debs stated that he was now draw
ing no salary from the American Railway
Union. He had cut 1t off himself at the
first of last October.
The cross examination of Mr.. Debs oc-
cupied the entire afternoon session. In
a deliberate manner he narrated the part
he took in the proceedings of the Ameri-
can Railway Union convention and dur
ing the continuance of the strike. He
stated that he advised against a strike
until the members of the American Rail
way Uuion were discharged from the
employ of the Pullman company, when
he ordered a boycott on the Pullman ears.
All efforts of the government counsel
TO confuse the witness were without
avail, he carefully considering each ques-
ton put to him before answering. He will
resume his testimony tomorrow.

DEFENSE OF THE DETECTIVES.
a Belief That They VIII he Able 10
Refuts. Most of the Charges

Atlanta Ca. Feb. THE detectives be-
gan their defense in the investigation be-
+ fore the police board this morning From
. their start It looks as If they viii be able
to refute a great deal Of the apparently
damaging matter brought out by the pros
ecutiOn. The fight TO all intents and pur-
I poses is between the gamblers and crimi-
nal element and the police department
Almost all the evidence Of corruption on
the part Of the detectives has been given
by the criminal element. and consequently
a great portion OF IL viii have little or no
weight Chairman English's invitation
yesterday for all who knew Of the guilt
OF any member OF the department to come
forward under the guarantee Of protec-
ton, so far has had no result. ana the
inference is that the gamblers and crooks
have been "blufing.'
To-day Judge Yves tmOreland Of the city
court was on the stand and explained
away great deal Of the cloud put upon
that tribunal by the prosecution Of the
detectives
Bailif W. c. Connen who serves So
licitor Thomas in the city court. was also
put up, testlfying I'm a vein tending to
eXoronte the detectives of wrong doing,
and also substantiating Solicitor Thomas
in his refutatiOn of the charges against
him.
Several members OF the grand jury
testified that the detectives had given
them Information against Harp, whom
# is charged they protected in his gam
bling business. They also showed that
the detectives had appeared before the
grand jury against the men who took
part in the famous Aragon hotel game.
During the taking OF the testimony Of
Dan Hall, Green Dodd, a well known
merchant whose son has figured in the
case, misunderstood what he said, and
rising eXcitedly called the witness a liar
Hall returned the lie with emphasis and
was in the act of leaving the stand to
follow up the fight when officers inter-
fered. Explanations and apologies fol-
lowed later.
The investigation will consume the bal
ance of the week. The public is satisfied
with 1t and will say amen, when it Is over.

governor of Tennessee. does not appear
to be in a hurry about asserting his RICH
to The position. No legal steps have been
yet taken to compel the delivery of the
office to him. Mr.. Evans probable course
viii be TO perform some act required of
the governor and then cali on the courts
to enforce his authority. Some of his
advisors have urged that he wait the con-
clusion of the investigation to be made of
alleged frauds by the legislative commit
tee before making any further move
This advice is founded on a belief that
that investigation can be turned to Mr.
Evans advantage in spite of the partisan
bias of the committee.

CARoLINA's FOURTH BRIGADE.
The Charleston Organization to he
RehnbiIitated.

hehE D1I1fateu.
Charleston, S. c., Feb. 1T is officially
stated to-day that peace has been re-
stored in military circles here and that
the old historic Fourth brigade of Char
lesion viii be rehabilitated. The trouble
grew out of the Darlington dispensary
riot last March, when the commanding
officer of the brigade, Gen. Huguenin, de-
clined to obey the governors orders to
order out his men to go to Darlington to
suppress the riot. For this the entire
brigade was dsarmed by Gov. Tuiman.
At the last session of the general as
sembly a law was passed for the reor-
ganization of the militia and this law re-
quires the enlistment OF all the soldiers OF
the state. Gov. Evans recently started
in to reorganize the Fourth brigade, and
appointed Capt. Edward Anderson as
brigadier general. This order was &C
companied by statement that all the
old field staff were removed and that all
the captains were retained in office. Capt
Anderson is a graduate Of the South Car
DINA Military Academy and a very COM
petent military man. He is known as a
reformer in politics and in touch with
the administration. 1t has, moreover.
been an immemorial custom for the cap
tains of the brigade to elect n brigadier
In this case these We're not consulted
There was a good deal of kicking on the
part of the OLD officers for a time but
finally a meeting wes held and 1t was de-
cided to accept the situation The work
of enlistment commenced to-day and the
Fourth brigade will be in condition to
celebrate Washingtons birthday on the
22d, and to be inspected by Gov Evans
The brigade consists Of one regiment. two
battalions of infantry, two squadrons of
cavalry, two batteries of artillery and
battalion of naval reserves
