The San Francisco call., 1907-06-16

Naylor was asked as to the character
of various men who served under him
as marshal. among them kid" Waters,
Jim warford, Jack Bowman and others.
Questions as to whether or not these
men were known as professional gun
men were ruled out by Judge Wood.
Attorney Richardson developed the fact,
however. that Warford was now in the
penitentiary. Naylor denied ever hav-
ing known Tom Hogan or Harry Or
chard.
OWNERS NOT PLOTFERs
Richardson here indicated the pur-
pose of the defense to attempt to con-
meet the mine owners association fur
ther with the outrages In Cripple
Creek, this time with the Independ-
ence depot explosion to which Orchard
confessed on the stand, duplicating
Steve Adams. The attorney wanted to
know If Naylor had not attended a
meeting with Orchard-and others at
Victor on the evening of June 5, 1904,
and IL he had not informed the militia
to be ready, that something was going
to happen. Naylor denied that he had
ever attended any such meeting and
said that the militia was not on duty
at that time.
But you were anxious to get the
militia back, weren't you?"
No, sir; there was no reason to have
them there
Richardson next attempted to show
that as major of militia Naylor took all
his orders from the mine owners asso-
citation, but the witness declared that he
knew of no orders coming from the
association at any time.
Former Governor Peabody, who was
in office at the time of the Cripple
Creek disturbances. entered the court
room while Major Naylor was under
cross examination. He was accom-
panied by his wife and daughter
They were given seats inside the bar,
a few feet behind Haywood.
Naylor said that the troops were or
dered into Cripple Creek on Septem-
until November 15, when the spike
pulling matter or alleged attempt to
wreck a Florence and Cripple Creek
train came up.
WE'RE "UNDESIRABLESc
Naylor said that he heard about the
1ooting of union stores by soldiers, but
he had nothing to do with it; in fact.
the body of the militia was not on
duty at the time, the local company
being the only one in the territory.
Some of these soldiers, Naylor added,
were blown up on the platform of the
Independence depot.
After the union men were deported
from Cripple Creek" asked Richard
son, did you wear one of those but
tons which read: They can't come
back'?"
NO, sir"
Did you sing that song that ended
up that way?"
No, sir, 1 never heard of the song.
Senator. Borah questioned the wit
ness briefly on redirect examination.
DO you wear or have you worn
a button entitled, 4 am one of the un-
desirable citizens?"
mo. sir" said Naylor with smile;
y never saw one of Them
Maybe he doesn't need one" chimed
in Attorney Darrow of the defense.
But there are others who do" re-
torted Senator Borah.
We'll. then, maybe we'd better get
him one," drawled Darrow-
Naylor said that he made an in
vestigation of the blowing up of the
independence depot, where IA men were
killed. The only clew he found was
wire and chair rung, to which one
end of the wire was attached The
wire led some distance up sidetrack
from the depot.
On re-cross- oss-examination Richardson
wanted to know if Clarence Hamlin,
secretary of the mine owners associa-
ton at that time, did not start the riot
at Cripple Creek the day of the Inde-
pendence depot explosion by a speech,
in which he urged the people to drive
the western federation men out of the
district. Naylor said that he heard
nothing of the sort; that Hamlin had
spoken only three minutes when the
shooting began.
UNION HALL RIDDLED
And then the militia rushed out and
the first thing they did was to riddle
the union hall. wasn't it?' asked Rich
ardson.
That was not the first thing. no sir"
THE hall was fired on, wasn't it,"
Yes, sir; but not very many times"
sHow many?"
