Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-05-07

gongs, witness said Chief Egan gave particular instructions to all the police force on the ordinance about the speed of cars and ringing the gongs.
 MT O'Neill tried to show that the board of aldermen and the board of safety voted that these ordinances be strictly enforced. Judge Peasley ob- jected and City Clerk Ryan upon re- quest of MT ONeiIl stated such action was taken. Mansfield denied annoy ing the crews or interfering with them at all when they rang their gongs. In his opinion the car crews repeatedly violated the speed ordinance, but he never interfered with them on that score because he was not certain of hls; ground. He gave everybody to under stand, no matter who or what they were, that he was there to uphold the law. The testimony regarding the. explosions of torpedoes on the track one evening about 7:45, he denied. He was not on duty at that time and al complaint of such occurrence was nRv-l CT made to him.
 The searching of Conductor Stein for firearms he recalled very well. It. was on Sunday evening and one of. three men ill a team told him that the conductor on q car down the street. had firearms. The men were Super intendent Wales and Farley in a team and the man was their prisoner for stoning the car. Witness told them to go ahead. Not wishing to create excitement at tint time he waited un- til the car returned and then searched Stein. He did not open Stein's clothes. Stein himself did that and, being sat isfied that lie had no weapons, he was going away when Stein raised the coy CT of seat to further convince him, but witness said it was all right. He denied calling Stein an artillery scab," in fact never heard the expression un- til Stein used it here; thought Stein brought it from where he had come. As to stopping Farley on a car he said he merely went on the car to tell Far ley the rules about ringing the gong, thinking he was stranger. Farley asked him his number and witness gave it and also his name. On arriv- ing at the station that evening he asked if any charges had been brought against him because one of the trolley men had asked his number. Mansfield then explained about the number on his helmet. With what has been all ready stated before on that point he added that some two months had in tervened between the time he was told to change his number and the next time he used his helmet and meantime he had forgotten all about the order
 About the incident in which Stephen Phalen figured and in which Hol1Worth accused witness of billldozing and abusing him, witness said Phalen com plained to him that he was knocked down by the car and he stopped the car to get the numbers and names of the crew. There was considerable talk and the 1notorman finally admit ted that they had to knock Phalen off the track. Phalen later was arrested for intoxication by witness.
 Coming down to. the scene at night near McCarthy's saloon at which Holl- worth claimed to have been stoned and his car window broken, he said Super l numerary Dodds was OH duty at that place that night, that so far as he, Dodds, could see, no glass was broken nor was there any stone throwing. l Officer Bergin was also on duty at that place that night.
 Witness complained to MT Smith of I the Buckle company about the crowds near the factory, and while he admit ted crowds were there he would not | might do more harm there than out side Next day I got the crowd on the move, bu1 they were worse than ever because they got We Walk ban ners and though they kept moving ! they still blocked the walk"
 Some of the strike breakers brought l trouble on themselves by making I faces and signs at the crowds, and
 some of them were jolly fellows, too
 and seemed to be liked by the crowds 1 MT Hunt tried for some time to batter
 down this statement, but failed. He
 seemed surprised why witness should l search anyone for firearms on the com | plaint of a man in custody, to which l witness said he would search anyone
 against whom such a complaint was made, even MT Hunt himself. "Oh,' 1 interjected Judge Peasley, 'there was
 no cause for such q remark Witness | never heard anyone in the crowds I
 would have arrested the one who said l it.
 I MT Hunt tried to show that crowds l of factory hands waiting outside fac
 tory gates to return to work were I idlers and should be dispersed. MI i ONeill disagreed with him and creat ed laugh at MT Hunts expense while
 'Ben" Kelsey sought refuge in police manual. '-. '~-" +r- '-se' ""s ~- 97''-~. Il Judge Peasley thought MT Hunt was
 making poor progress with the witness
 and took up the interrogating. MI .l O'Neil objected, but he was ruled ,I against. Judge peasley proved nc better cross-examiner than Mir Hunt He got into trouble with MT O'Neill il ! trying to show that the man who sait
 Stein had firearms was not worthy ot
