 ----------~-~~~---~~-~- ----~---~-~---~-------- Philander P. Daley, known as operative No. g." They were date from Victor. Col, during the Cripple Creek strike One Of these letters was purely formal, detail ing the proceedings of a union meeting. The letters developed nothing against the law and order of the district, as had been ,aI lror of inf inxy with members of the union. Following Dailey's report came the report of an operative named Raimer. in Cripple Creek. Raimer claimed, under date Sep tember 19, 1903. that the miners claimed to have all the best of it, but until there was a break in the Mineowners' association, the operative thought their claims were doubtrul. Raimer reported that he heard no radical talk or threats firm the miners, and that each miner acted as a committee of one to stop all disputes and disturbances The soldiers ana miners seemed to be growing quite friendly and many of the soldiers ex- pr ssAd sympathy for the strikers 1D show that the Pinkertons invaded the coal mining fields of Colorado, where the United Mine Workers of America con- troled the miners, reports were read from Operative 3S, To5ert M. Smith. The con vention Smith attended was open to the public, but he reported at length or the routine proceedings.
 MT. Darrow next read two lengthy re- ports from Pinkerton Operative J. N. Londoner now assistant superintendent in the Denver office. The reports were from Victor, Col. at the time of the Independence depot explosion, June 6, 1904. Londoner told graphically of the in- tense excitement prevailing in the Cripple Creek district at this time and the threats made against the union.
 Londoner's Instructions.
 q was made a deputy soon as I showed my face" Londoner wrote. and was told to kill any union man or sym pathizer who spoke to me-"
 The operative added that at the time of his writing there was strong talk of taking the leaders of the union to the
 bull pen," and hanging them. The cit izens demanded the resignation of Sheriff Robertson. He declined. They got a rope and put moose about his neck. He wa, given five minutes in which to decide Robertson looked at the mob. H then sat down and wrote his resigna- tiol. Boys he said, "I know you have got the drop on me, and I know you'll h me if l don't resign"
 Londoner's report next told of tro speech made by c. I. Hamlin, secretary of the Mine Owners association Hamlin had spoken less than five min utes when the firing began. There is no doubt that an attempt was made to kill Hamlin." he added, ''as one of the bullets grazed his head"
 Soldiers Called Out. The soldiers were called out and some were stationed on house tops Without a request to surrender they began to fire into the union hall and continued until white flag was displayed.
 Tn the union hall several hundred rifles l three barrels of ammunition and a big supply of provisions were found. Alto gether eighteen men were killed at Victor | Under date of June 29, 1yo4, Londoner 1 reported from Victor that in search of | the union hall he found the photographs of two non-union men. On the back of | each picture was a cross. This" said Londoner T am told Is the plan for the marking men for death."
 1 Just before the luncheon recess was l taken MT. Darrow began to read from the reports of Operative A. H. Crane, who was secretary of the Seltermens' union at Col orado City, and who is charged by the de- l fense with having done much toward starting the strike which led to all the Cripple Creek disturbances. Cranes re- ports were simply detailed statements of ! his daily movement, his consultations with the men and his advice to them to hold out and win the strike. | Recess was ordered until % p. m.se More Pinkerton Reports. l After the recess MT. Darrow continued to read from the reports of the Pinkerton operatives sent from the mining districts In regard to the report of J. N. Londoner | 1t was shown that this operative was not employed by the Mine Owners associa- tion, but was supposedly working against the military and with the proprietors of the Portland mine, which was continued to employ union men and was not dis I banded during the strike. After the In- dependence depot affair Londoner was afraid the Portland mine might be at tackled as result of the high feeling | against the union.
 "I was satisfied serious trouble would develop in a few hours" wrote Londoner and I too believed the Portland mine | would be attacked and the property de- stroyed. I, therefore. boarded the 7:50 a. m Short Line train for Colorado Springs | to acauaint the client of the condition of 1 affairs
 | The defense claims the railroad officials knew that the Independence depot was to be blown up just prior to the arrival of 1 the 2:30 a. m. train, the idea being not l to kill anybody but to carry out the af- fair as an attempted outrage on the mart
