Alleged Train Wrecking.

Naylor said the troops were ordered in
to Cripple Greek Sept 4, 1903. but there
was no disorder until Nov. 10, when the
spike pulling matter, or alleged attempt
to wreck a Florence & Cripple Creek
train, came up.
Naylor said he heard about the looting
of union stores by soldiers, but he had
nothing to 10 with it; in fact the BODY
of the militia was not on duty at the
time-the local company was the only
soldiers in the territory. Some of these
soldiers, Naylor added were blown up
on the platform of The Independence de
pot.
After the union men were deported
from Cripple Creek" asked Richardson,
read: They can't come back?' ;"
mo, sir
did you sing the song that ended up
that way?"
mo, sir. / never heard of the song"
Senator Borah questioned the witness
briefly on redirect.
DO you wear, or have you worm he
began, "a button entitled, I am one of
the undesirable citizensT 3"
No, sir" said Naylor with a smile
i We never seen one of those
Maybe he doesn't need one" chImed in
Attorney barrow of the defense.
But there are others who do retorted
Senator Borah
well, then. maybe we'd better get him
one drawled barrow.
NeylOr said he made an investigation of
the blowing up of the Independence depot,
where fourteen men were killed. The only
clues he would were a wire and a chair
round TO which one end of the wire was
attached. The wire lead some distance
up a side track from the depot
On re-crOss- Richardson
wanted to know if Clarence Hamlin. sec
rotary of the Mine Owners association at
the time. did not start the riot at Cripple
Creek the day of the Independence depot
explosion, by speech. in which he urged
the people to drive the Western Fedora

he heard nothing of the sort; that Hamlin
had spoken only three minutes when the
shooting began.
And then the militia rushed out and
the first thing they did was to riddle the
union hail. wasn't it?" asked Richardson
That was not the first thing. no. sir"
The hall was fired on. wasn't it?''
Yes sir, but not very many times
How many?"
"Oh, 90 or 100"
You bOmbarded the placer"
We'll. the miners bombarded us from
the place and we bombarded them in the
place said Naylor. amid a ripple OF
laughter.
Naylor said he never heard of any men
being flogged before deportation. The
major was asked with reference to the de-
portRtion of some men in December, 1904.
He said they were not miners al all, just
hangerS-On.
They certainly were undesirable citi-
Gems" said the witness.
But you determined their undesirability
yourself?' suggested Richardson.
There wasn't any chance to doubt,
declared NaylOr, who then was excused.

The next act of the prosecution was to
prove the finding of the Peabody bomb

Today w. II. Schulenburg, formerly a
fireman at Wallace, told of finding the
bomb while cutting ice in branch of the
Occur d Alene river in front of the Wal
lace fire station. The river is but ten TO
twelve inches deep at this point. Schulen-
burg turned the bomb over to Sheriff
Angus Sutherland. of ShOshone COUNTY
Sutherland was the next witness He
told of unloading the bomb. which was
packed with twenty-five pounds of giant
powder.
The lead casing of the bomb, which has
been in evidence stree the first DAYS of |
the trial, was identified by both Schulen-
burg and Sutherland
Not the least interested of those who |
Sazed upon the MISUNDERSTANDING missile |
was Governor Peabody. for whom the |
bomb was intended. The governors wife
and daughter also looked on wide-eyed.
Sutherland told of taking the bomb to |
the Pinkertons i'm Denver and then return |
ing with it to Idaho.
The defense moved to strike cut all tes-
timony as to the bomb as immaterial and /
not connecting the defendant, Haywood |
with the matter in any way. The motion \
was denied.
John Dunn. postmaster at Wallace. who |
was present when the bomb was unloaded |
