Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 16.-(special.) ---rhe United States court room was crowded during today to hear the sec- ond days proceedings of tho famous peonage cases, originating at the Jackson Lumber Company at Lock- hart Ala. and tine spectators were treated to some narrowing tales told by foreigners. who had formerly bean Tn the employ of the company, who not only related stories of being overtakea ana brought back to camp and corn- pelIed to work, but of being beaten with sticks, cuffed and kicked, and iu some cases being unable to work after passing through these ordeals.
 The inhuman and barbarous treat- mert they charged to the bosses at the camp, and one man, q Bulgarian, exhibited in court horrible scar on the shin, which he told was the result Of kicks received from Woods Fore man Gallagher.
 The case on trial is that of Manager W. s. Harlan. ct al, charged with conspiracy to commit peonage and throughout the proceedings counsel for defense made objections to admitting testimony. especially to that portion occurring at Lockhart, in Alabama. but these objections were invariably overruled.
 The first witness of any importance to testify was J. c. Satterwhlte. . telegraph operator, employed by the company at Lockhart. He told of tak- king telegrams over the wire during July from John Atewll, deputy sher if of Walton county. Fla. addressed to w. s. Harlan, asking if the iat- ter desired two foreigners who were near Laurel Hill. He sent reply sign ed by Harlan, in which the latter told Atwell to hold men and they would be sent for.
