Mrs.. Gallagher Insisted Upon De-
nouncing Sherir's Deputies.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 21.-There was
nothing new developed i'm the testi-
mony offered at the Martin trial on
Saturday. Mrs. Mary Gallagher as
sumed command of the trial when she
assembled the witness stand. She is the
mother of Grace Coyle, the school
teacher of Lattimer who testified to
seeing the strikers shot down like Tab-
bits, as they were running wildly away
from the deputies. Mrs. Gallagher is
of middle age and comely, and there is
no %impediment in her speech.
Mrs. Gallagher tried to tell what a
wounded man had said to her, but the
conversation was ruled out. While
counsel was arguing Mrs. Gallagher
broke in: "MT. Lenahan, l am not here
to be intimidated by anybody. You can
do to me as the deputies did to the poor
working man; car shoot me, but
you can't lntimidate.'
Judge Woodward's gavel had no eff
feet on the lady's eloquence. She want
ed to tell what another wounded man
said TO her near the railroad track.
"Object; it's hearsay," exclaimed Mr..
Lenahan.

Gallagher. 81 said it was a massacre,
red handed, in broad daylight. 1 saw
a man with a gun"
When asked If it was Sheriff Martin
she said: mo, it was a nice, respect
able man. l went up to him and I de-
nounced him. oh, 1 dare not tell 1t
here. l know about the law of evil
dence. ! cant repeat it because l can't
identify him"
Mr.. Lenahan declined to cross eX-
anime, and the lady talked herself all
the way out of the court room. We'll,
it was a massacre" she declared. I'm
sorry to see you, Mr.. Lenahan, identi-
fled with such a case. You're a good
lawyer, baS a bad man. I'm sorry tC
