Especially indicative Against Western Federation.


and this organization was made up
OF good citizens of the district. He
justified the deportations on the
ground that they we're necessary and
because the citizens had reached the
conclusion that men who refused to
work themselves or permit other per-
sons TO work should be sent away.
He admitted that some of the de-
ported were innocent of wropgdoing,
but stated positively that they were
allowed to come back when the in.
Justice was discovered. Sackett said
OF his own knowledge and on infor.
nation he knew OF number of mur-
ders and outrages committed By the
union miners and the calling out of
the militia and declaration of martial
law was necessary TO the preserva-
tion Of life and property.
The last witness of the day and the
last witness of the state was William
Stuart, Scotchman, red.bearded
and retaining the burr of his native
language on his tongue. He was a
miner in the Cripple Creek district
during the troubles and told ter
rible story of maltreatment at the
hands of the miners who bad warned
him that he would have to take the
consequences If he went to work as a
"scab.''
With native Stubbornuess Stuart
went to work, however. and with
native wit he tod of the conse-
quences. Mr.. Richardson dismissed
the witness with two words, "That's
ALL"
Stuart wheeled out of the witness
chair and, as he stepped down, be
said quietly, "Iump, well, there's
more il We want it,"
And with this the prosecution

On the opening of court this morn
ing, Attorney Richardson notified
the state that the defense desired
three OF the state witnesses to re-
main in town. Judge Wood an.
nounced that prior to the opening ar.
gument he would instruct the jury.
Clarence Darrow, for the defense,
announced that the surrebuttal fol
the defense would be very short.
Judge Wood said that while he
would not limit the attorneys In
their arguments, he would pIobabl,
| increase the court hours so as to get
through as quickly as possible. The
lawyers we're inclined to protest al
this, Mr.. Hawley saying he had beer
anything but well the past few days
He said he might have to abandon
the examination of witnesses II ht
felt no better. The matter Of ar
ranging the hours for argument wa,
finally left in abeyance.
O. NJ. Sackett, of Telluride, Colo.
for fifteen years an employee OF the
Smugglers Union mine, was the irsl
witness of the day. He told of hi.
experiences during the big rict al
the Smuggler mine in 1901, when, bs
said, he and several other employe,
of the said mine were compelled Il
run a perfect hail Of bullets in ordei
to get TO the mine.

"Yincent St. john"
Witness next tolG of negotiatib,
with st. John to have the frins
stopped and reaching an agreement
with him. The defense objected Il
some of Mr.. Hawley's questions ant
Judge Wood sustained them.
81 will say, said Judge Wood, sig
nificantly, THAT the court regard
as very doubtful the materiality o
the testimony the state Is trying {,
rebut.'
Mr.. Hawley said he thought as tn
defense had been allowed to go int
the matter OF deportations, etc.
from Cripple Greek and Telluride
the state should be allowed to max
a showing on reouttal.
1.-The court viii not allow you L
go into details said Judge Wood.
"In that case replied Mr.. Haw
ley, II will assume what the court
instructions will be as to this testi
mony.
I'VE viii see as to that when W
come 10 it, chimed In Darrow.
The witness was allowed to stat
that as result Of the negotiation
he had with St. John an agreemeD
between Edgar A. Collins. assistan
manager OF the mine, and st. Job
