James H Hawley finished the direct
examination IF Orchard at o'clock pre-

animation. Up TO the time OF adjourn

The days murder record exhibited ac-
counts OF repeated attempts to assassi-

Higher CriminalitY.

Here is the condition Of affairs that
may yet be appealed TO as establish
ing a higher criminality on Mr.. Harri-
mans part than on the part Of other
men who have consolidated railroads:
Mr.. Hartman in 1901 had the Union
Pacific take over the control OF tho
Southern Pacific road. That was subse-
quent 70 the decisions Of the Supreme
Court in the Joint Traffic and Trans
Missouri Traffic Association cases.
which held that suppression Of competf-
uon among railroads was contrary 10

But there are other difficulties Did
Mr.. Hartman consolidate parallel and

About 1880 o'clock Cramer entered

Capt. Horton. who was cleaning up.
Horton refused to give the drink, be-

Horton says that "Frenchy" hated
him like poison and had often threat
ened to shoot him. and Horton there
fore did not care to take any chances.
Immediately after the shooting Hor-
ton himself notified the sheriff's de-
