The reports from the operatives in
the various unions usually covered all
that had transpired at union meetings,
what the miners were doing in private.

Friedman said that he had copies of
a number of these reports. 1t was
part of his duty to copy these and mail
them to the agencys clients. Fried
man said that the Pinkertons spfed on
both the western federation of miners
and the united mine workers. The

AS a member of the national board
of the united mine workers Mooney
said that he was called to the Trinidad
coal fields OF Colorado, where there

he killed, had to do solely with this

Mooney said that nonunion miners

wished to show motive for assaults on

''On the part of this witness?" ques-

Yes, sir" said Darrow, ION the part
OF anybody who was there and who
looked on Gregory as thug, a man
who beat UP people and was hostile to
the union"
The witness was asked on cross ex-
animation If he had laid any plans to

The prosecution challenged this tes-
timony as immaterial and irrelevant
but Judge Wood allowed it on the
statement of counsel that they ex-
pected to show that Lyte Gregory was
responsible for the assault
Evans was followed by John /. Tier
ney of Denver. a newspaper corre-
spondent. Tierney said that he was at
Trinidad during the troubles there. He
saw Gregory at that place. He de-

Next on the stand was Judge Theron
Stevens, former judge OF the district
court of Colorado at Ouray. Judge
Stevens is now q resident of Goldheld,
New. Asked the purpose OF Judge
Stevens testimony Attorney Richardson
replied that il was to show that peace
full conditions existed in the Telluride
district of Colorado up to the time that
the militia came in and the deportation
Of the miners was begun.
ENJOINs DEPoRTATIONs
Judge Stevens told of an Injunction
having been issued against the miners
boycott of some merchants in the Tel
luride country. So far as he knew the
injunction was Sbeyed and there was
no interference of any sort with the
court.
The witness said that he had refused
to grant an injunction against the de-
porters so long as the militia was in
the district After the soldiers were
withdrawn the Citizens alliance con-
tinued to deport miners and then Judge
Stevens granted an Injunction to half a
hundred OF the deported men. allowing
them to remain.

ney Richardson.
THE governor Of Colorado pro-
claimed the district in a state of in
surrection and sent the soldiers back.
The deported men were not allowed to

REVEALS OFFICE SECRETS.
Something of a sensation was caused
by the calling of the next witness.
Morris Friedman, who has written a
book which he claims is an expose of
Pinkerton detective methods.
Friedman said that he was now
newspaper correspondent. He worked
as a stenographer in a Pinkerton office
during the Cripple Creek strike, doing
practically all the work of James Nc
Parland, who has worked up the case
against the western federation of min
ers. Friedman said that he became
thoroughly familiar with the Office
work and methods.
Asked as to the placing of Pinkerton
operatives in labor unions, Friedman
said that man named Crane became
secretary of the smeltermen's union at
Colorado City and was also chairman
of the strike committee. Other opera
tives who were connected with unions
in Colorado were Joseph f. Gadden,
Charles H. Rhymer. George W. Rid
dell, p B. Bailey, Cummings Lutlow
and Conibear. Friedman declared that
he handled most of the daily reports
from these men for a year and half.
Riddell was in the courtroom as
Friedman began his testimony. He
was identified by the witness.
Two of the Pinkertons were deport-
ed with the rest of the union men from
Cripple Creek and Telluride.

It was Mrs. Rowen's at-home day,
a fact which BERTHE knew. In the
drawing-room Eva had to invent elab-
crate explanations on the spur of the
moment Of the unhappy position Of
dear Mr.. Pilkinghame
. "Ee came to see papa" was no good
at all, for they had distinctly heard
him ask for everybody. Eva was very
hot and red, and changed the sub
ject.
The poor girl had just succeeded in
turning the conversation when John
announced Lord Bobby Dalmainham
pronounced "Dam) a recent importa-
ton of Bertie's.
How do you do?" said Lord Bobby
Il say, you know, Miss Rowen, what
have you been doing to your young

Sn-Eva, feeling an almost irresist-
ible impulse to hurl things about, be-
gan again the same poor, threadbare
explanation, and glancing by chance
out Of the window she saw small boys
collecting and policeman looking
on suspIciously from the opposite side
Of the road. It was a most uncom-
Portable afternoon.
John came in. Eva looked at him
with apprehension. This time he car
ried a tea-tray. It ought to be men

Of immediate employment in case OF

But not nearly half the things that
