Sticks to His story.
Under Senator Borah's CROSSE exam
ination the witness stuck to the story
that he was not at Wardner. He adj
mitted that he saw the train SO by
with some 800 men on board all wear
ing masks, but said ne did not know
any Of the men; that he took no in
terest in the fact that the train was
going through under such peculiar cir
cumstances. He could not give the
names of any union men on the train.
He did not ask whip the train was
loaded with masked men, and he did
not know whether the men carried
arms, he did not ask where they were
going, and when the train returned In
the evening ne did not inquire wherc
they had been. lie heard later, he
said. that the concentrator OF the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine had
been blown up, but he did not know
where nc got the information. and
did not learn until the following day
that anyone had been killed.
Immediately afterwards Davis said
ne fed TO the Hercules mine. where
he remained in hiding and then got
out OF Idaho, cnanglng his name to
Jones. lie went to Butte which he
admitted was a mining camp con-
trolled by the Western Federation OF
Miners and while he was there, there
was no reason to change his name
as the published black list was not
In force there.
