Another OF Shea's Plans to Make Men quit
work Was TO Break Their Legs.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Testimony TO the
effect that Cornelius p. Shes gave orders
to his pickets during the teamsters' strike
to break the arms and leg Of negro strike
breakers was given to-day by Joseph
Schultz, one Of the confessed conspirators,
who turned States evidence.
The witness was describing an incident
at the pickets' headquarters, when Shea
addressed his p ckets in a body. Assistapt
States Attorney Miller was condu citing
the examination.
Mr.. Schultz" he asked. what did Mr..
Shea say concerning the negroes"
SHEA said break their arms or legs, 4"
responded Schultz, so they won't be able
to work.
DO you remember in the early part Of
April three negroes coming ont Of the
alley back Of Montgomery Ward 4 Co.'S
place Of business?"
Yes, it was about five days after the
strike. Shea was there. As they passed us
Shea said; There's one of the Finks, get
him when he comes a lii lie further We
caught him about a block further up and
slugged him. Red Scully was with me"
After that where did you go?"

can. | took the car brake and beat one
of them up. After that we followed the
Montgomery Ward wagon TO the barn.
What did you do when you reached
the crowd at the barn."
I'VE threw a few bricks.
Schultz later told an amazing story Of
how the strikers and pickets would hurl
eggs filed with vitriol and deadly acids al
horses on the street to make them run
away. He also said that SOMETIMES
syringes were used TO squirt the acId.
They gave US the acid eggs at head
quarters, SO Madison street, " he testified.
The eggs had been drained and the shells
filed with acid. The hole was covered
with a piece of court plaster. Shea came
into the room and said: Take these and
use them, boys, but be careful not to get
caught. or you will be han ged. "
Schultz testified that one of the men
had thrown some of the acid on one OF the
Montgomery Ward horses. The animal
ran away. When caught in State street it

m SECRETARY ROOT DIRECT.
The HARNESSES Did Not GO 10 COu over
Nmbas sadOr Towers Head.

.NmDa ssRdOr Towers Head.
Winthrop II. Barnes, who il at present
in this city, told yesterday just how he came
to invoke the aid of Secretary Root in order
to get his daughter, Miss Madeleine Barnes,
presented at the German court last winter.
II was stated in a cable despatch from Ber-
lin in THE Sun yesterday hat MIR. Barnes
was inceused at Charlemagne Tower, the
Ambassador to Germany, because Mr..
Flower had refused to get a presentation
for Mr.. Barnes and that it was on account
Of Mr.. Towers refusal that Mr.. Barnes
applied 10 the State Department, which
overruled Mr.. Tower.
Mr.. Barnes said yesterday that the cable
despatch greatly misrepresented the matter
ON unfriendly terms with Ambassador
Tower, whereas he and the Towers were the
best of friends.
AS a matter Of fact, " said Mr.. Barnes,
Il never applied to Mr.. Tower at all and so
he never refused TO secure a presentation
of my daughter at court, which seems to be
the basis for The article cabled from Berlin.
The German court is the hardest court
in the world to get entrance to and as l
did not know Mr.. Tower at all well at that
time | wrote to Mr.. Root direct without
going near Mr.. Tower at all. Mr.. Root
wrote to Mr.. Tower, who then secured the
necessary permission. After that we came
to know MIR. and Mrs. Tower very well.
This story does a grave injustice to MIR.
Tower and l cannot understand how Il
originated. As TO the other part OF the
despatch which says that my daughter has
never been invite ed to another court function
owing to this alleged episode / might say
that We have been in this country eve since
and therefore could not be invited very

Report That Mrs. VIM. Thaw VIII
Abandon PIttsburE and sen Her House.
Harry X. Thaw or his counsel or both
have now decided that they do not want
a commission appointed to take the testi-
mony OF TruXtun Beale and Thomas Nc
Caleb, both said to be in California. Chf-
ford W. Hartridge. counse for Thaw, says
that the commission for which he made
application will not be necessary, as he is
quite confident that both Beale and MoCaleb
will come here to testify at the trial. Mr..
Hartridge made this announcement yester-
day in a letter to Justice Newburger, in
the Supreme Court. Criminal Branch, who
heard argument a few days & on the APP
p~liCatiOn for the commission.
Mr.. Jerome said that he had not made
up his mind whether or not he would oppose
the motion to withdraw the application
Mr.. Hartridge seems to think that Justice
Newburger can do nothing but grant his
request, as he a that the order granting
the commission has not been entered. On
the other hand, Mr.. Jerome feels that il so
inclined he can resist the withdra wal of
the motion.
One reason for Mr.. Hartridge's request,
it is said, il that he didn't expect that when
he opened the way with his application
Mr.. Jerome would ask to have the testi-
mony OF Mrs. Holman. Mrs. Harry Thaw's
mother, and her son and daughter taken.
Unless the commission il appointed on
the motion of the defence Mr.. Jerome
cannot examine these witnesses by COM
mission.
When Thaw learned that his trial would
he put off almost indefinitely by the APP
pointment of a commission il is said that
he was in a great rage and Immediately
sent for his counsel and told them that he
wanted his trial at once. and that il they
didn't agree TO his proposition he would
get other counsel.
No matter whether the commission is
appointed or not Thaw need not expect
an early trial. For some time he and his
counsel appealed Il Mr.. jerome to have
the trial as soon as possible and Mr.. jerome
rushed work on the ease. Then when
a date had been set and without warning
to Mr.. jerome came the application for
the commission.
A friend Of Mrs. William Thaw said yes
terday that Mrs. Thaw intended leaving
town for Pittsburg to wind up her affairs
there, sell her house and furniture and
terminate her residence in P%ittsburg She
