The hearing OF Sllas Shaw, the mo-
torman, and August Samsel, the con-
Iuctor in charge of car No. II that
struck the passenger wagon Wednes-
day night ON Main street, took place
yesterday afternoon in the police court
room before Justice Rogers, at p. M,
in the presence of a large crowd. The
men were charged with an assault to
MAIN, disfgure and kill Miss Eta
Lemon and others. There were IN all
eleven witnesses examined, six for the
prosecution and five for the State. The
hearing occupied about 8 hours time
Asst Prosecuting Attorney Frank Nes-
bjtt assisted by Attorney Srolowitz.
appeared for the prosecution and Mr..
Erskine for the defense. The hearing
occupied the entire afternoon. At the
conclusion of the evidence both de-
PENDANTS were held for the Criminal
Court under $1,000. Bond was furnish
ed, with Mr.. J. j. Holloway as Sc
curity.
E. w. Conner, the prosecuting wit
ness, was the first to be examined.
His testimony corroborated with the
report of the accident published lin
yesterdays Register. He said that he
was driving slowly down Main street,
IL or Is feet on the west side OF che
track, with load of passengers, girls
employed at the Stamping Works. 1t
was raining slightly and the curtains
on the side and back of the wagon were
down. AT twenty-fourth street he
started east for Chapline street, when
without a moments warning, the wag-
on was struck and overturned. Miss
Ella Lemon was thrown to the street
and injured, the defendant did not
know how badly. She was taken to
her home in the city ambulance. On
the ss-eXamination, witness said
that ON a rainy day the cars did not
make any noise and as to the best of
his knowledge the bell was not sound
ed. He knew nothing of the presence
Of the car until the wagon was struck.
Earnest r. MetZner, book-keeper at
the Hoffman tannery, witness tor the
defense was then examined to- allow
him to keep a business engagement.
Witness said he was putting away his
books shortly after 6 O'Clock. His at
tention was attracted by the sounding
of street car gong, rang more sharp
ly and quickly than usual. A second
later he heard the crash of the coils
ion and ran to the window. Looking
down on the street he saw the over
turned wagon and noticed that there
were a number Of girls in it. Witness
Immediately telephoned to the Mayor
to send the city ambulance to the
scene as he thought some one was
hurt. That was all he knew.
James Vance, a railroad man, was
then called by the prosecution. He
was on Main about 35 or 40 yards from
the place of the accident, walking
north when the accident occurred. Saw
the driver of the wagon turn up Twen-
ty-fourth street, and the car bear down
on it. From where he was he judged
the car to be running about from s
to 10 miles an hour.

She was plumb, bang full by the soundin'

Plumb, jam full to the soaked Old deck.
