is morning the crowd was not as

re more women present than yester-
 ". The Rev Dr Davenport was here and also MT Ross, secretary of he Y. NJ. O. A. Counsel for the de- ense of the prisoners was reinforced Yby Attorney Danaher of Meriden and Attorney Russell appeared for Ross Mir O'Neill stated all the evidence given. < yesterday would be accepted by him except that part of it about identif1ca- sion. This was the line he preferred to lay down in all the cases.@ The state agreed to this and then the cases against John ! Mcclure. Charles K. Ross and David c. Marsh were begun. Thomas Quinn, one of the accused mem bers of the Rosedale club. was then called in and sworn. After he was warned by Judge Peasley that he need give no evidence that would tend to criminate him. he was also warned by Mr@ O,Neill, his guardian pro teni, that 1t was important to himself that he should not testify
 Quinn then testified that he lives at AD South Willow street and that on the night of the alleged assault he met Marsh in Wolcott's pool room and went with him to Hurlburt's shop. There ne saw Whitty, Kenny, Ryan Ball, Thorpa and Clifford Vandemark. There was crowd at this place and they started for the track in twos and threes. Up at the tracks he saw War ren and Clifford vandemark, and after the return from the tracks he saw Kelly and Ennis. He was asked to look around the room and see if he could identify any of the others he saw at the tracks. He was rather dilatory. in recognizing anyone and Attorney sMef9s. who conducted the prosecution. ask%d him if he saw the man sitting near Morris Waas at Hurlburts shop. The defense rose up in howl at this method of Identification. However, witness finally did recognize McGuire, but did not know his name until told by Attorney Meigs He was again asked if he identified anyone else and he said he did not, but his attention was directed to Ross and he identified him. l3s {
 MT Kennedy objected to Mir Meigs's ]. methods, but the court overruled him. Later witness identified Marsh. Then he went on to say that all were sworn to silence and he heard some one say, s'Put handkerchief on your face" A few days after the assault >Bill' Vande- mark told him ''the scab was dead"
 Asked how he came to be a witness when he is a prisoner, he said that a few nights ago James Lunny took him to Attorney Kellogg's office and there he was kept about four hours by Col onel Burpee Mir Kellogg was not g there Colonel Burpee told him that he had a warrant for his arrest for try ang to murder the scabs and It would be better for him to tell all about it. Witness said he knew nothing about lG and the colonel led him to under stand that he, the colonel, could get q few of the strikers to giye him away. that he mad heard the whole story from ahem. Still witness said he knew noth- ' ing about the matter. Colonel Burpee then said that if he told all he knew he would get off easy; If not, he would probably have to suffer. 4onday wit ness was arrested, and Colonel B1lrpee saw him half an hour later and advised him to make a clean breast of it. Wit { ness told him he had nothing to say. whereupon Colonel Burpee told him he wqald have to remain in custody. Last night. about 10:30 o'clock. De fectfye Dodds took him into the chiefs office and there questioned him again, and advised him to tell all he knew, md finally he wilted. AS he was speaking Colonel Burpee entered. De- teetive podds took down in writing part of his story and Colonel Burpee the other part
 Last Saturday night witness met De- fective Rogers Tn SIr Kellogg's office and he also advised him to own up
 Oh the night Of the assault witness and Marsh were together. and Marsh left him to go up town Witness thought that was SO. still he was sure he saw him at Hurlburts shop. He did not see him after he had seen him at Hnrlburt's. nor knew where he went He could not be mistaken about that point. He saw no weapons, sticks or stones nor did he hear any threats 10 kill, murder or hurt any body. Witness went 10 the trolley tracks to ''see the fun''
 All witness heard was "We'll go and lick couple of scabs'' Witness got about within fifty feet of the car when the lights went out s..Ioe" Kelly was the only one he saw then. After he had told his story to Colonel Burpee he was released from custody by the col- onel. He was asked if he knew Col onel Burpee was judge of the city court. and he said he did He was asked If because the colonel was judge he thought he would be let off when he told his story. and he said he had not that in mind
