nACtGu DT several M batntsncas
 At ? o'clock yesterday afternoon the trial of the striking teamsters was re- sumed. after the noon recess, in the su- rerior court
 Sergeant Dunn was called to the stand and told how on one occasion Palmer had wanted him to arrest Cor
 nelius while he was walking along
 Chapel street. On the advice of the
 city attorney. however, he did not.
 John J. Healy, the truant officer, told
 about the trouble which had occurred
 between MT. Moresco and MT. Palmer
 at a funeral on St. John street. He stated that Cornelius was not there, although MT. Palmer had testified that he was present
 Charles A. Cain. a hack driver, cor
 roborated Officer Healy, saying that Cornelius was not present.
 Percy E. Cornelius, of 476 Chapel
 street, was next called. He has lived
 in this city twenty-one years and was
 a trucIzman up to the 18th of last Au- gust. He had voted to have Stockford
 come here in the hopes of raising wages and getting shorter hours. He was
 present when a vote to strike was talk en, and heard Stockford, Talmadge,
 Flynn and Rev. MT. Irvine address the
 meeting and urge the men to do no vlo- lence. He never missed a meeting He then told of trouble which he had had
 with Palmer alleging that Palmer had | tried to charge a man $4 for 9 hack when according to law he had no right to charge him over $3. Cornelius had called up Chief Wrinn at that time and
 complained about it. Witness had ney- CT had an interview with Schwaner
 concerning the strike. Witness was appointed on committee of three tc
 get two clergymen to address meet ing and urge against violence One was to be Protestant and the other a l Catholic.
 Considerable time was spent on his cross examination in regard to con stitution, which the witness claimed
 was ill existence, imposing fine for any offenses committed. Witness had
 never heard any threats against Kin
 ney and knew of no attempts to injure him so he had to go to a hospital. Wit
 ness got Rev. MT. Irvine to come to the
 hall May A. and he was the only cler- gyman he knew of being there. | The last witness yesterday afternoon was Henry A. Cowles. He was driv- CT for Peck & Bishop up to the time of the strike. He had heard the men warned against committing violence,
 and he himself had had no trouble with MT. Pardee. aeufs
 At this point court was adjourned | until 10 o'clock this morning.
 -Four minutes being consumed in
 calling the roll of the jury yesterday
 morning, Peter Flynn, secretary of the
 Teamsters' union, again took the stand his testimony having been interrupted
 by the adjournment of court last Fri 1 day. ss
 Speaking further on the duties of l piclSets, Flynn declared to Mir. Irvine that he had warned them to keep well
 within the bounds of order. He denied ,, having ordered them to get men off the teams fin any way they could,' and also declared that both he and MT. Tal- l madge had urged them to refrain from
 violence. He had heard of Freeman and Bronson being arrested, but could
 not recollect the exact date.
 The object of the direct examination
 was evidently to rebut the testimony
 given by Frederick Freeman for the state, and on several occasions Flynn i flatly contradicted evidence given by the colored member
 Flynn's advice to the men had been to go away during the strike and take it as a vacation;n to be orderly, and enjoy the holiday President Tal-
 madge had been strongly opposed to
 the strike, and State Organizer Stock ford had acquiesced in it with great reluctance. Some time prior to the strike the members of the Teansters'
 union had become impatient at the de- lay advocated by the executive com mittee, and on one occasion had voted to take the matter out of the hands
 of the committee and go out the fol- lowing morning at 9 o'clock. The ex- ecutive committee was at that time composed of Tallnadge, Flynn, Steb-
 bins, Ward, Jackson and M. A. Sulli- van.
 As letting Flynn out of the trouble,
 MT Arvine led him on to declare that he had not tried to coerce any enn- ployer into signing the agreement, nor had he attended any of the funerals at which disturbances had occurred. This done, witness was turned over to
