by Charlie Neville. seventeen -year-old son
OF the Neville who was Orchards com
panion on a camping trip in 1904. Young
Neville was not witness in the Haywood

told Of leaving his home at Independence
with his father and Harry Orchard the day
before the Independence depot explosion
for Wyoming on a hunting and fishing
trip.
The first day he said they drove ten miles
and then canibed for the night. During

that he saw Orchard count $500 in bills
and give il 10 his father.
Soon after Orchard had gone. the Witness
said, officers arrived and took his father
back to Cripple Creek, where he was
charged with blowing up the independence
depot. After he was released they went
to Denver again and went to see Pettibone.
His father and Pettibone, he said. had a
long talk. during which he heard his father
say: Then ! will squeal."
Later. he said. they went 10 federation
headquarters. and his father had a talk with
a man he did not know. He said he heard
parts OF the conversation, but on objections
by the defence he was not allowed to testify

Mccarthy Went Down 60 the street.

All the policemen OF the Tenderloin
station had TO do to distinguish them
selves last night was to go right next door
TO the station and carry persons out OF a
burning house.
At O'Clock party Of policemen under
acting Captain Keleher's orders had started
TO 60 down to the Longacre Athletic Club
TO see that no real fights were pulled on.
As they were passing a three story brick
tenement at I4l West Thirtieth street. on
the west side of the sta, ion, Policeman Louis
Cohen saw smoke coming from a front
window on the second floor. He jumped
back to the station and reported. Then
while Lieut.. Gilhooly was sending in an
alarm Cohen and Detective William White
broke in the front door of the house and
attempted to climb the stairs.
At the first landing they were pushed
back by a wall of smoke shot with fame
They ran out and around through an alley
TO the back yard There Capt. Keleher
and Detective Ed Dwyer found an old
spring mattress and hoisted il against
the wal under the fire escape ladder, which
ended at the tops Of the first floor Windows
While his companions made a ladder of
their shoulders ohen scrambled from the
mattress TO the base Of the fire escape and
unlocked the section of ladder hanging
there. II broke. and Cohen and White con-
tinued up the fire escape through smoke.
At the third hoOr windows they found
John Jones, coIored, the grandson of Mrs.
India Diggs, who lived on that floor. Cohen
passed the boy down tn White, Nho, because
Of the defective ladder, had to drop b m into
the arms OF apt. keleher and the other po-
licemen. Cohen was overcome b smoke.
In passing him down White let him drop.
and he received a slight cut on the heal.
Though he ha1 TO jump through the
flames, White then went back into the
room that Cohen had LEFT and found the
Colored woman TrOstrate. He managed 10
get 10 the fire escare with her and then
sank exhausted with his face and hands
men speedily took both White and the
woman down. DR. Sears OF Bellevue
HOsrital restored Cohen and the woman
TO consciousness. White, with his wounds
dressed. was taken TO his home.
Engine Company I was the first to
answer the alarm. Ed Mccarthy, at the
reins. was taking a wide curve at the corner
of Seventh avenue and Twenty-ninth street
when a deaf old man got directly in the
way OF the horses and Mccarthy had to
shorten the arc Of the curve suddenly.
The result was that he struck the wet
tracks OF the seventh avenue lines AT "A
bal tangent and the engine turned a half
somersault. landing ON its smoke wire
AMI the copper bulb OF its upper works.
Mccarthy had the bones Of his LETT hand
broken. and il was two hours before a wreck
ing crew could lift the heavy engine on the
sout Inbound tracks.
The fire in the tenement was put ont
speedily by other engines.
