witness could remember they never
gave him any help. nor did he ask them
for any.
After his entire brigade had been call
ed out, the general said the situation
became extremely serious il several
parts Of the strike territory and he
feared he could not cope with the stu
alton if it grew worse. He so informed
the governor. The now famous shoot
TO kill" order issued by him, after his
soldiers had been attacked by stones,
was touched upon by Mr.. Darrow. The
general said it meant every word it
said, and that the issuance of the or
der had a most salutary effect upon the
communities which his soldiers guard
ed. 1t had such good effect that it
was not necessary to fire one shot. The
order, he further said, did not include
the shooting of women and children.
Mr.. Darrow called his attention to the
fact that the order did not except them
and the witness replied that his men
were not engaged in fighting women
and children.
There was considerable cross fire be-
tween Mr.. barrow and the general over
the right Of a sentry to fire upon
man Skulking about the camp OF SOL
diers after dark. The witness finally
gave it as his judgment that sentry
has a right to shoot in guarding the
men in camp. This discussion was
brought about by Mr.. Darrow reading
a communication from the late Colonel
ha Eicrhfh
regiment to Brigadier Gambler in
which he reported that q; sentry fired
on man who was skulking around
the camp at night and in which the col
onel added that he regretted there was
no result to the sentry's shooting. In
the sparring that followed this General
Goblin, who is lawyer, would not ap-
prove or condemn the sentiment eX-
pressed by Colonel Hoffman. The lat
ter died from pneumonia while on duty
in the coal fields.
Just before the cross-examination was
concluded Mr.. Darow wanted to know
if he ever met certain coal operators.
He was asked by Commissioner Wat
kins the object of his question, and Mr..
Darrow replied: ITO show that his rela-
tions with the coal companies were
much more friendly to the operators
than to the workers"
THAT is not true" replied the gener-
al, and the discussion was stopped
there.
Before leaving the stand James H.
Torrey, counsel for the Delaware and
Hudson company asked General Goblin
what a certain letter written to Cover
nor Stone by a committee of miners
contained, and he said it was a protest
against the troops protecting men at
work and objecting to the soldiers doing
police duty. The letter had been re-
ferred to in the examina ton of the wit
ness.
Among the witnesses called were two
who testified to certain statements made
by William H. Dettrey. who was yes
terday elected president of district No.
of the miners union, in place of Thorn
as Duffy. One of them said that Dettrey
in his presence after the strike remark
ed that anybody who had worked dur
ing the strike should have his throat
cut. The other declared that Dettrey
in a meeting Of certain local union
made a speech in which he said that
all men caught working should be given
a good humping"
Attorney John T. Lenahan, for the
non-union men, presented indictments
and pleas Of guilty Of certain union men
for acts of lawlessness, and also rec
ords showing that members of the
union went on their bail bond. These
were presented, he said, to show there
was some connection between the strik-
ers who broke the laws and the union.
