employ of the Pinkerton agency at
Denver to write book in which re
published certain correspondence of

hands, was again yesterday the prin.
cipal figure at the Steunenberg mur.
der trial. More than half of the day
was occupied in reading to the jury
copies of the documents that Fried.
man took from the Pinkerton records.
They were chiefly the daily reports Of
secret agents operating as spies among
the union men, and showed

erton men sat in the Federation con.
vention at Denver in 1904, reporting
all proceedings. None of the reports
that We're read to the jury contained
other than general references to the
collateral issues of the trial, but they
were offered in substantiation Of the
claim of the defense that the Pinker.
ton agency conspired for the destruc.
ton of the Western Federation Of
Miners and the lives of its leaders.
State Attacks Friedman.
The prosecution attacked Friedman
on the ground that he had played the
Pinkertons false. had violated his
pledge to them and had stolen the
documents which he produced, but the
witness would not admit that he mad
stolen the papers. He insisted that II
was not stealing to take information
that had been obtained by deceit. He
said that If he had known this trial
was coming up he would have taken
many more letters and reports.
Misuse Of Militia.
Another interesting witness was ]. l,
Wallace. an attorney of Cripple Creek
who served with the militia, first as q
private and then as lieutenant, dur.
ing the strike of 10000. He related
several instances as tending to show
the misuse of the power of the militia
by the mine owners; gave the criminal
records of some of the gun fighters
imported by the mine owners: told OF
the working of the card system: re-
cited the circumstances connected
with the looting of the union stores
and a newspaper Office, and swore thai
he saw K. c. Sterling, chief detective
for the mine owners, fire the first shot
