THE LATTIMER TRAGEDY.
Sheriff Martin and His Chief Deputy on
the Witness Stand.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March 3.-When
court opened for the continuation of
the trial of Sheriff Martin and his dep
uties for the shooting Of the strikers
at Lattimer, Sheriff Martins cross-ex-
animation was resumed by counsel for
the prosecution. The main point estab-
lished was that the witness denied MAX
ing the remark after the shooting that
he had merely taken a hand 'in the
matter as plain Martin, and not as the
sheriff of Luzerne county"
The defense endeavored to have the
sheriff testify that he was unable to
suppress the riot and disorder that ex-
listed in the Hazelton region, and that
the civil authorities were unable to cope
with 1t and had telegraphed to the gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania for aid, and that
consequently the governor ordered out
the state militia on the night Of Sept.
10. The commonwealth objected to this
line of testimony and Judge Woodward
sustained the objection.
Samuel Price, a contractor and COM
mission merchant of Hazleton, testified
that he was Sheriff Martins chief dep
uty at the time of the shooting. He
told that the sheriff gave all the depu-
ties explicit orders to keep cool, protect
all property and maintain the peace.
He also told them they were not to
shoot unless for f-protection.

OF attempted bribery. Of four of Joliet's
leading citizens. Opinion is, of course,
divided. and not few assert that the

owy language as to indicate that there
Is nothing behind them. City Attorney
McNaughton. acting for the defendants,
accuses the drainage trustees of playing
a BLUM game. He. however, adds that
as the characters of four well-known
and reputable citizens have been as
sailed In the most cowardly manner,
there is nothing left but to fight.
You may rest assured" he says,
that these men who have thus been at
tackled will not rest until their good
names have been cleared Of suspicion"
On the other hand Attorney Hayes,
Tor the drainage board, says that its
action, taken Tuesday, Is the first step
toward breaking up one Of the most
gigantic conspiracies In the history of
western litigation. He also asserts that
the sanitary district has been system
actically robbed of millions by Just such
schemes and that the board proposes
to put stop to them. Excitement over
the matter still runs high and all sorts
OF rumors are in the air to the effect
that wholesale indictments and arrests
will follow.
With the eyes Of Joliet upon him,
John p. King, the lumberman filed be-
fore Judge Hilscher formal answer to
the charge that he attempted to influ-
ence the jurors who were to determine
the value Of the property condemned
by the sanitary district. Item by item
he denied the grave accusations made
against him. He was innocent. he
claimed, and asked the court and his
-citizens to believe him.

Settlers Fighting the Michigan Land and
Iron Company at Marquette.
Marquette, Mich, March 3.-The case
Of the settlers and the Michigan Land
and Iron company, over the title Of the
company to the lands which 1t pur-
chased from the NJ. III. and o. railroad.
secured by that company as govern
ment grant to aid in construction, has
come to a close. The hearing was held
before Register Scadden and Receiver
Halsey in the local land office. 1t was
probably the hardest fought case ever
tried before that tribunal. The amount
of land involved is $1,000 acres, which
includes valuable pine and mineral
lands.
For convenience in the hearing the
land was divided into three classes and
testimony was taken regarding each
class separately. There have been sew
eral hearings, but in all seven days
were occupied. AS the points are sub
stantially the same in al three cases the
attorneys made the arguments for the
three in one. The arguments occupied
two days. Receiver Halsey refused to
give an opinion as to how long 1t would
take himself and Mr.. Scadden to reach
decision. The opinion is expressed
elsewhere that the time required will
be from three weeks to a month. Which,
ever way the case Is decided an appeal
is a practical certainty, still both sides
are anxious to win in the initial fight.
