AS soon as the decision OF Governor
Budd not to interfere in behalf of Salter
d. Worden was announced in this City,
the labor union leaders became greatly
agitated. To large number it was a
great surprise, for it was hoped that the
States executive would be inclined TO be
lenient In fact. that was the i'm preston
made by ths Governor upon the union
committee which visited him on Sunday.
As the decision was not generally known
until announced py the newspapers, no
concerted action was taken until last
evening.
Members of the local American Rail-
way Union hurried among their union
friends to see what could be done. There
was some talk of getting out a writ of
habeas corpus and making an effort TO se-
cure new trial on the ground of having
discovered new evidence that would prove
the doomed mans innocence. Upon*the
latter lines it was decided TO make one
more move upon the Governor before the
fatal day-Friday next. Every effort Will
be made TO get Governor Budd to grant
thirty days reprieve for Worden and thus
give time for one more prayer for a new
trial 1t is said that Congressman James
g. Maguire was induced TO call upon Gov
ernor Budd and ask for a reprieYe, but
with what success was not known.
In the meantime, the labor union men
unions. One large committee. consisting
of J. w. Rose, Harry Knox, J. R. Cassidy,
.. P. Walden and Others, visited the
unions for two purposes-to calf mass
meeting and to raise money to carry on
the tight. 1t is desired to hold mass
meeting tomorrow evening in Metro
politan 1emple or the Ten pie at III Turk
street. The purpose is to have the voice
of labor raised in one great protest to the
Governor against the execution of the
striker. ~
In order to carry on the fight money is
required for attorneys fees. affidavits and
witnesses, and the unions last evening
gave thor first instailment. The Build
ing Trades Council had already contrib
uted $40. The Amalgamated Wood work
ers added $40 and the Cigarmakers' Union
No. 228 made alike contribution. Tonight
mach more Is expected.
I. Some OF the newly discovered evidence
so called, is the testimonyof w. Craig and
wife, who 1t is said wara>not permitted to

ing to the statements made by the COM
mittee it is stated that the defense will
prove by the Craigs that Worden was
DRUNK in bed in their house in Sacramento

similar nature will be produced if the con-

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June L-George
w. Monteith, attorney for Salter D..
Worden, the condemned train wrecker,
has applied to the United states District
Court for writ of haneas corpus on be-

which event an appeal will be taken to

order denying the writ.
Warden AulI has been in nformed of what
