LAWYERS IRE PERPLEMD..
Witness in Boycott Case Per-
 sisted in Talking.

Despite the Protests of the Lawyers
 He Would Give His Own Version of
 Things-One of the Jurors Was Late
 in Arriving To-day Court Was Put
 Tack Half an Hour Waiting Tor EHim.
 l At press hour yesterday MT Cardi- nal, the first witness ill the boycott ease, who was foreman of the job, was 1 all in q tangle with MT Kennedy's l questions. Mir Cardinal worked his l way out of it by saying that the unions were all right while he had | job on hand, and after the job was done, he had no more use for the unions He denied that he made his | job union one; that he knew that union men could not, according to the | rules of their union be employed on the same job with non-union men, and | that he voluntarily discharged the I non-unionmen, but when these ques- l tions were asked separately he ans wered in the affirmative.
 l In his redirect examination Attorney l Bradstreet undertook to help Mir Car | dinal out of the predicament in which i Mr Kennedy had left him under cross | examinations What did you mean when you said-?'' asked Attorney Brad | street. MT Kennedy objected to this | form of examination on the grounds that there would be no end to what l witness might say he meant. If he l had forgotten anything or left out any ] point, MT Kenendy had no objections to have it explained, but to what he meant he would object to. \ wrangle between counsel en- sued and the court inter- mingled, remarking that the case l was an enigma to him so far and the case had already cost the state con- siderable and he thought the wit
 ness ought to be allowed to explain. Cardinal then contradicted himself, saying in reply to Attorney Brad streets question that it was against l his will he discharged Cabanna and l two or three other men who did not belong to the union. MT Kennedy then took the witness and the above | ground was gone over again. Cardi- nal said this time that he knew per fectly well what he was saying when | under cross examinations but there were some things he did not under l stand. Then he admitted that during recess he had been. speaking to Jol- lette. the complaining witness; that | toilette advised him to keep cool and | told him what to say. After convers- ing with toilette Cardinal spoke with Attorney Bradstreet. He then said that toilette had told him to say he did not understand certain questions to which he had already answered to the satisfaction of MT Kennedy and now he wished to withdraw those answers. Cardinal then stopped and | toilette took the stand He testified | that the accused asked him to put two union men to work and discharge two non-union men and if'he would not do So. he, Sandiford. would make trouble for him. In almost every respect Jollette's testimony was a corrobora
 ton of Cardinals, but more detailed. His manner of giving his evidence caused frequent interruptions, waits and exclamations from Attorney Brad | street. toilette was in q great hurry and was referred to as a trace horse"
 which MT Kennedy advised Attorney
 BradStreet to hold infif he were able.
 The trial of Joseph Sandiford repre- sentative of the Carpenters union, was | delayed twenty minutes this morning in the district court, by the failure of Juror Adam Faber of Waterville to l appear at 9:30 o'clock, the hour agreed | upon yesterday to resume. toilette re- | sumed his place on the stand and the manner in which he gave his evidence was altogether different from that of yesterday. He was slow and deliber- 1 ate. but as inSistent as yesterday, i'll T giving ''the meaning of what he | claimed Sandiford had said. When he was told, and he was repeatedly told, 1 that he could not give s'the meaning'-
 that was for the jury to arrive at toilette would say: s'Well. he said it in other words This would cause another interruption. and such excla-
 nations as "Stop! Stop" but toilette
 would not stop, and the attorneys
 would say. "Will you stop?" Still Jol- lette would proceed with his distorted
 statements. and the lawyers would
 shout, 'Will you please stop?" Still he would go on and the lawyers would
 arise shouting, "Stop! Stop! Will you
 stopY' and he would at last stop. His | statement. or q part of it, would then
 be ordered stricken out.
 Il toilette made statement to the ef- l feet that one reason why Sandiford 1 asked that the workmen's wages
 should be increased was that they
 could support him. The last few
 words of the statement were spoken
 with a smile.
 toilette said he called at the once of Hardwick Ss Gill, plumbers but what his business there was was not got put
 of him for long time and until after | the court had warned him that he him. | self had told him how he could an | swer. Witness was somewhat theaI- | rical by this time. He finally admit ] ted that the purpose he had in going l to Hardwick x Gill's office was to make
 the job union one. He followed this ! statement saying that he wished the
 whole job unionized because it would
 save him money and trouble. AIr Car
 dinal was also willing. The increase in wages the men were given at the | time already referred to they still re-
 ceive though Sandiford has been to
 see Mir Cardinal only once since June 9. toilette said he was supervisor architect. etc, for Mir Cardinal, and he thought that Mir Sandiford was trying to do him out of his job, yet he did
 no fear of losing it. He said he is
 friendly with Sandiford to a certain
 extent, and then he launched forth in
 a speech that gave the whole court into his hands. He could not be stopped until he had exhausted him. self The ripple of laughter that went ] around the court at his conclusion had l scarce died away when toilette began
 another speech, beginning with the statement that We do not know who
