flavor" said O'Brien. "They put on
James D. Phelan, E. B. Pond, George T.

there. Clitus Barbour, once Buckley
candidate for Police Judge, was there So
was Captain Fitzpatrick, professional
job-chaser and once Buckley nominee for
Supervisor. There was also 'Shootlow'
Sullivan, who went up to Sacramento to
shoot workingmen. There was M. G..
Hassett, who only last campaign visited
Mr.. Buckley at his ranch to try to get a

THE WEAEERKiLLE TRIAL.
Tracing Joe GresoY's Whereabouts on
the Day After the Littiefeid
Lynchinq,

WEAVERVILLE, CAL, Aug. 26.-Al
the evidence given to-day in the trial OF Joe
Gregory for completely in the lynching OF
"Jack" Littleield in Round Valley last
September was corroborative of that that
has gone upon record in the past week. A
half-dozen witnesses told of circumstances
that point strongly toward the defendants
guilt.
Walter Clark, the half breed, stated on
the stand this morning that while at the
Red Mountain House on the evening of
September 81, 1885, he heard three shots
fired about ten minutes after sundown.
The reports came from the spot where the
witness subsequently saw the body OF
"Jack" Littlefeld hanging to tree.
Peter O'Neil swore that on the 26th OF
September, himself, in company with
Charles Gregory, brother to the defend
ant, Fred Radcliffe and Mrs. Radcliffe, left
Covelo between and 10 o'clock in the
morning en- route to Vinton's cabin.
About three-quarters of mile from CoVelo
RS. Radcliffe and Charles Gregory rode
on ahead. The next morning Joe Greg
ory and Buck Lacock came early to Vim
tons cabin. O'Neil spoke to Lacock be-
fore he reached the cabin. Lacock told
him that Vinton had been shot and wanted
Gregory to come over. Radcliffe mounted
a mule and rode over to Haydon's house
in company with Gregory and Buck La
cock. Gregory carried a rife when they
started, but Radcliffe bore no arms.
When they returned both carried rifles,
and in addition Gregory wore a six
shooter On the afternoon of that day
(September 27) the witness, with Radcliffe
and Charlie Gregory, went fishing down
past the lower crossing of Eel River.
About $3.50 o'clock O'Neil saw Crow, Little
field and Van Horn (Van Horn ahead, Lit
tlefield in the middle and John Crow be-
hind) crossing the river in the direction of
| the Red Mountain House. When asked If
he had seen any one else that day O'NeiIl
said that they had met party camped on
the river (the Rose Russ and Annie Crabtree
party previously mentioned during the
trial), and that later he saw Bill Espey,
Frank Potter, Frank Hanover and Fleet
wood boy.
The party had been mp to Haydon's
house. O'Neill stated positively that both
Fred Radcliffe and Joe Gregory returned
that night to Vinton's cabin after dark.
When cross-questioned by Oregon San
ders, attorney for the defense, whether he
had not told many persons in and about
Round Valley that Gregory and Radcliffe
had returned to the Vinton cabin before
sundown O'Neill replied that he had.
When asked why, he answered that he
was afraid of getting shot in the back, as
many another man had in Round Valley,
for knowing too much, as was William
Williams and Sherman, recently killed at
CoveIo.
"I was afraid that If 1 told the truth
Gregory would murder me" O'Neill said.
