prosecuted some of the railroad men dur
ing the great railroad strike of 1894, do
upon oath state that five men, viz: Messrs.
Thomas, Kochendeffer, Curtis, Stockett
and myself, were the only persons in Al
buquerque arrested in connection there
with; that the four men above mentioned
were discharged, and that /, Chas. Wagg,
was the only person prosecuted and was
sentenced to fifteen days in jail for refus-
ing to go out when called; that said prose-
cution was in nc way conducted by said
H. B. Ferguson, but on the contrsry II.
B.. Ferguson did what he could to help me
and tried to have the Jail sentence COM
muted to a fine. which he said he would
pay out of his own pocket, and further,
while serving my time in Jail, Mr.. Fergus
my meals from his own house.. The charge
that Mr.. Ferguson prosecuted or perse-
cuted any Of the railroad men during the
strike, ] know of my own personal knowl-
edge to be without the shadow OF truth.

The TESTIMONY IS NIL IN
ARGUMENT COMMENCED IN THE HARMON
X MURDER TRIAL
The Defendant Tells His Story on the Witness
Stand-Shots Carroll in eSeIf-Defense-
Supreme Court Opinions Received for Fill
ing-Brown tabeas Corpus Proceedings

The taking of testimony in the trial OF
Lewis Harmon, charged with the murder
of Thomas Carroll in December last, closed
IN department one of the superior court
before Judge Smith yesterday afternoon at
3:45 O'Clock. After the examination of
several witnesses as to character the de-
fendant was put upon the stand in his own
defense. AS heretofore outlined, self
defense was the plea. After detailing the
events of the day of the tragedy, Harmon
came down to the actual shooting. He had
accounted for having the revolver in his
possession by saying that it had been re.
turned to him by friend to whom he had
loaned it, and had not had time to take it
home. He went to the saloon where the
shooting took place to get shotgun be-
longing to him to take it home. When he
first went to the saloon Carroll was not
there. Afterwards he came in and made
a break at him with knife. He warded
that off, when Carroll again came at him
with the knife, and, believing that his life
Vas threatened, he drew his revolver and
shot him. Harmon told his story in very
straightforward manner, and made a good
impression on the witness stand. He
would not have shot if Carroll had not
come at him with knife.
At the close of the testimony District
Attorney Donnell opened the case for the
prosecution and was followed by Mr.. Lr-
cas- of counsel for the defense, who spoke
up to the hour of adjournment. This
morning Mr.. Hunsaker will speak and Dis.
{ trict Attorney Donnell will close for the
people.

Said He Was a rlurderer

Yesterday afternoon while Under Sheriff
Clements was sitting at his desk in his Of
flee at the court house. an elderly man
walked in, and, announcing himself as the
Whitechapel murderer, said that he
wanted to give himself up, as the pursuit
had got too hot for him, and, after travel
ing all over the world, he had concluded to
surrender to the authorities. Mr.. Clements
asked the man how many women he had
know; all he wanted was to surrender
himself and end the suspense. As the
man was evidently insane, Clements took
him over to the Jail and locked him up.
He gave the name of J. NJ. Covington. The
crank is evidently a man of some educa-
ton. Nothing is known as to his antece-
dents,
