GOVERNOR A WITNESS.
Illinois Executive. Appears on tn
Stand in Shea Trial.

CHICAGO, January 7-Gov. Charles S.
Deneen appeared as the first witness in the
Shea trial today. He was subpoenaed by
the defense nj order to SHOW that efforts
were made by the labor leaders during the
teamsters' strike to settle matters by arbi-
tration, but, like other witnesses upon this
point, he was not permitted by the court to
testify upon material points.
Gov. Deneen was asked by the attorneys
for the defense if he had not, during the
strike, received kilograms from President
Shea. He replied in the affirmative, but
was not allowed to testify regarding the
contents of the messages. He was asked If
he had not replied to these messages, and
said that he had. He was not allowed by
the court to state what he said in his re-
ply.
The attorneys for the defense then sought
to show that the governor had been in COM
munication with the employers. as well as
with the teamsters, but this evidence was
also ruled out by Judge Ball.
B. F. Shadley, member of the state board
of bitration, followed Gov. Deneen on the
stand, and an effort was made by the de-
Tense to prove the same matters that were
ruled out in the case of the governor. An
extended and lengthy argument between the
attorneys ended by ruling of the court
that the evidence sought through Mr.. Shad-
ley was not competent.
