stop the train. first asking him if he
had intended to stop at Devils Gate,
and receiving a negative answer.
He compelled the engine men to put
sacks over their heads and obey his di-
rections. When they neared Uintah he
ordered the train stopped, and made
the men get off the engine Rowland
then detailed how the man ineffectually
tried to get into the express car, and
afterwards cut the mail car loose and
went down about two hundred yards
with it. The robber frightened those
about him and made those in the dis
lance think the cars were being blown
open by a gang of robbers.
Rowland did not state whether the
robber was True, and said he was not
at that time well enough acquainted
with True to form a positive opinion.
robber ives that of a man similar in
build to the defendant.
r. D. Mcfarland, the fireman on the
train at the time, gave a detailed ac-
count of the robbery from the time he
first saw the man seated on the coal
gate until after it was all over. His
account tailed very closely with that
Of the engineer. He stated that he had
known True from ten to fifteen years.
and that his best judgment was and Is
that True is the culDrit. In cross-eX-
animation he admitted that he had at
one time stated that he did not know
True. This statement was made some
time after the robbery, and he explain
ed it by saying that he knew the man
by sight quite well, but ne was under
the impression that his name was Jen-
kins. because he lived in the house with
the family OF that name, and he took
True for Jenkins son, instead of his
son-in-law. The defense, in the cross
examination. laid the ground for i'm
parchment of McFarland's testimony
by asking him the question in statutory
form as TO whether he did not, on a
specific date and place, say to Heber
Wright. Henry Steele and Lorenzo
Farr that he had no idea who the man
was that robbed the train. and that he
was too frightened at the time to notice
him. The same question vas repeated
in regard to what the witness said to
Mcfarland. ST. and Mr. Stranger.
The express messenger, McEvoy, was
the next witness. He detailed the
events of the robbery as they came I'M
der his observation from the time the
robber kicked down the door of the
express car until the job was finished,
and he gave it as his best judgment
that the masked man was James True.

WASHINGTON. May 32.-About 20
governors Of states have replied to Sec.
rotary Alger's kilograms asking for
their views regarding the filing Of the
present volunteer regiments to their
maximum strength before beginning
the formation Of new organizations.
Some Of these indicate a preference for
the recruiting Of entirely new regi.
ments as under the first call, leaving
the present organizations with the
number Of men now contained therein.
All promise the government any
amount Of troops that are wanted. 1t
is the presidents desire that the organ.
izations already formed shall be filled to
Their Maximum Strength,
as the law provides, and this policy
will be carried out in recruiting under
the second call. The apportionment to
the states have been made up but not
yet given to the public. Through ur'
gent representations to Secretary AlgeI
some of the states were permitted under
the first call TO furnish a greater
number of troops than they We're le
gally entitled to on the basis of popula'
ton. Consequently on raising the
10, 900 men under the second call, these
inequalities will be remedled as far al
practicable with the result that som
of the states may not be called on Il
furnish any of the men needed.
