have sense enough to keep it to them
selves, or something to that effect.
After General Jamison had testified as
to certain orders issued by himself on the
day of the governors Inauguration, Ad-
jutant General RosenbaUm took the stand.
He told of being present when Crawford
came into the restaurant with the remark:
"One of your men has been mobbed," and
the witness asked him what he meant.
The witness did not remember all he
had said In the letter to Douglas and pro-
ceeded to tell of meeting him the morn
ing after the assault. Douglas appeared
somewhat excited and inclined to think
that some members of company A were
involved At the time the witness sim
ply said to Douglas that he was sorry of
the affair. His recollection was that the
officers and men of the company came to
him and expressed their regret that Cap
tain Douglas was involved in the assault
but did not recall that any regret was ex-
pressed for Colonel Stiles. The witness
| denied having had any talk with Captain
| Bridges regarding the egg-throwing. He
had been on friendly terms with him
! some three or four months prior to the
egg episode, but since then their inter-
/ course had been of the most limited char
acter He did not know who threw the
eggs and had no knowledge that the egg
ing was to take place. The witness de-
MED having expressed his approval of
the assault, but regretted it to hundred
persons. He told of considerable feeling
in the company against Stiles on account
/ of an alleged newspaper interview in
which the colonel had criticised the mill
tia and also on account of a difficulty on
Inauguration day. The board then ad-
! journed until morning.
Al c. Hixon, night Waterman at the
Santa Fe yards, was the first witness
placed on the stand this morning He
! recalled the egg-throwing incident at the
! depot on the night of December %, and
/ was in the ticket Office at the time He
/ saw Colonel Stiles scuffiing with some
! one and ran up to see what was the mat
/ ter. when the man broke loose and ran.
/ He did not recognize the man. He spoke
TO Hackdriver Castinien and a young fell
low belonging TO the militia. by the name
/ of Smith. to ascertain if they knew any
Of the egg throwers, but they gave him
no satisfaction, except that Colonel
Stiles and some of the militia bows were
having trouble. The witness was quite
voluble and rather disconnected in his
testimony. He first thought It was a ne
gro whom Stiles had seized. but after
wards saw that il was a white man with
his face blackened. He mixed It I'D with
the two struggling men and it was then
that the disguised man got awav. pur-
sued by the witness who fred his revoIv-
er into the air to accelerate the speed of
the fleeing egg thrower He did not see
any people at the depot that night be-
longing to the militia. He heard several
strangers remark that the ecglng was
justifable. Under cross-examination the
witness was inclined to be facetious. but
was quickly called down by Colonel Hus-
ton. who asked him if Colonel Stiles did
not repeatedly ask him to arrest the man
he was holding and that he( the witnessl
made no effort to come TO Stiles assist
ance. but stood fumbling at his pocket
( as though trying TO draw his revolver.
The witness denied this and said that If
he had got his hand on the man he would
have arrested him. The witness admitted
making the remark that for 500 reward
he would produce the parties that threw
the eggs. The general opinion was. the
witness said, that the soldiers pe-petrat-
ed the deed, and whenever he met any Of
them on the street they looked as though
they were scared 70 death.
Bruce DauSherty was called but did not
answer TO his name. which led the prezi-
dent Of the board to give instructions
that means he used to compel Daugher-
tvs attendance.
Beverly Crawford was called as VII
/ ness for Rosenbaum. on the night of the
assault he was doing newspaner. work on
a local newspaper and was at the depot
a short time after the occurrence. on
his way back to the newspaper Office he
I saw ROsenbauIn. Avrei and some other
members fthe company sitting at 4 ta
bic in the restaurant and he told them
/ what had occurred. He did not notice
anything unusual n the appearance OF
either of the trio. The witness made in
( curry TO ascertain who committed the
/ deed. but could discover nothing.
He could not remember any definite
/ remarks made by Rosenbauun and his
/ party when informed II the egg throwing
