A. L. KEMPSTER.

The latter part of last week, and Monday
of this week, was taken up IN the trial OF
a damage suit against the Renton Street Rail
way Company, before Judge Hatch In the
superior court One Hildebrandt was a wit
ness for the plaintiff and swore against the
street car company. His evidence was given
on Friday. He is an emplOye of the Seattle
Electric Company, and laid off with the con-
sent Of one of his superior officers to become
a witness in obedience to the subpoena which
had been served upon him. Saturday he re-
turned to his work as a motorman but later
in the day it is alleged he was called into
the office of Mr.. Kempster, superintendent
of the Seattle Electric Company, when he
claims, that Kempster read him from the
transcript the testimony he had given on the
trial and asked him if he had given such tes-
timony to which he Hildebrandt, said he had.
Whereupon Mr. Kempster informed Mr.. Hill
debrandt that it was contrary to the rules OF
the company and that their employees should
not give evidence in court without first hav-
ing the consent of the company, and Hide
brandt was thereupon Immediately dis
charged and backlisted for his conduct.
These facts, startling as they are, were re-
cited to Judge Hatch on Monday morning IN
open court and were followed up later by the
fling of an information charging Kempster
with tampering and intimidating witnesses
in trial in the court and citation has been
issued to Mr. Kempster directing him to APP
pear in court on the 9th to show cause why
he should not be punished under the law for
his conduct.
When street car company, or any other
employer of labor, attempts to bulldoze, in
timidate or trife with witnesses summoned
to appear in our courts of justice, it is time
for an example to be made of them Mr.
Kempster will doubtless find out that the
temper of the American people is aroused and
that the spirit which is now abroad in the
land is to put salutatory check upon this
bossism, dictatorship and oppression of cor
porations.
There is not citizen in the city of Seattle
but believes in good government and the per-
petuation of the American institutions, es-
pecially those principles of freedom of con
science and action in the performance of the
duties of citizenship, but that should lend
aid to have Mr.. Kempster if he is found
guilty, severely punished and he should take
his place alongside of thugs and bouncers
and the disrespecter Of law, order and So
ciety
