CASTOR ASHE
ON EVILS Of
INTIMIDATION
Election Day Stories
Retold.
POLICE FAVORED DENNERY
WOULD NOT SUPPRESS his VII
famous FOLLOWING.
The Contest for Porter Ashes Seat
in the Senate to Be Transferred
Shortly to the State
Capitol.
WOULD NOT SUPPRESS his VII
famous FOLLOWING.

The Dennery-Ashe election contest in
volving the right of Porter Ashe to a seat
in the State Senate is running its course
rapidly before Justices Kerrigan and
Groezinger. Three witnesses were ex-
amined yesterday on behalf Of Mr. Ashe,
ard 1t is expected that all the testimony
will be in to-day The witnesses yester-
day were Sylvester NJ. Sullivan, Castor
Ashe and Charles w Freese, a personal
friend of the Ashe boys.
They repeated the stories as to the
conduct of Dennery's followers through
out election day-of the prize1ghters and
negroes who went about intimidating
voters and of the passive stand taken by
the police. CASTOR Ashe told of Sergeant
Shea being within fifteen feet of one man
who was knocked down and declining to
make an arrest on the plea that he did
not see the assault. He also declined to
remove a man who was creating a dis
turbance in booth and who was working
for Dennery.
He testified to having met Sergeant
Martin just after Porter Ashe had spoken
harshly Of the police at a meeting In Met
ropolitan Hall. Martin complained that
Ashe had given him an unmerited roast
The latter retorted that Martin was seen
In Dennery's. company the previous night.
Martin acknowledged he had treated Den
buy wine for Asbe. The offer was de-
clined.
According to CASTOR Ashe desperate
crowd gathered in the booth at Pacific
and Taylor streets. They were not resi-
dents of the neighborhood. They were
continually asking the tally clerk why
he did not put down more votes for Dem
merry. This he could not do, owing TO the
Watchfulness of CASTOR Ashe. The lat
ter, who was champion boxer, and is big
and rugged testified that he did not fear
bodily harm but he took the precaution
to keep table between himself and the
roughs, so that he could have plenty of
elbow room. He did not talk back or re-
sent anything that was said to him, as he
thought they might wipe up the floor
with me, and | wanted to remain and
protect my brothers. interests"
The witness said they did not make q
saloon fight. He naively said that any
workers who wanted money were sent to
the other candidates camp.
He said some car-drivers were friendly
to his brother, and Eugene Bert, for Den
merry, thought he had struck a lead into
the Southern Pacific stronghold but IL
did not prove so. The men were Eriumen
on the Union-street line
Sullivan, the first witness of the day.
saw an Ashe ballot counted for Dennery
but upon his protest 1t was corrected. He
told of men who said they had to pre-
tend to stand in with Dennery or the po-
lice would arrest them as Migrants. Inc
case goes on this morning.
