said.
James Conger said he saw a
crowd on Court street, in front of
the courthouse, a few minutes past
6 the night in question. The con-
duct of these men, the witness said,
was Objectionable. He was on his
front porch at the time and had a
good view of them.
Henry Demer said he lived at
Court and Seventh streets. He
knew Frank Daniels by sight and
at one time employed him, On
Aug. 80, Mr.. Demer said,~ Daniels
passed the Demer house at 6 or a
few minutes after. He was one of
a crowd of men that came down
Court street, following Mr.. Demer,
his brother and Knapp, the non
union glasscutter. Knapp at that
time, the witness explained, was
boarding with the other Demer. He
said the crowd followed the trio as
far as the machine shop, but this
was nothing unusual to him, Mr..
Demer said. There were cries of
"Scab" and skunk" and Choke
him." but the vile epithet that lies
at the bottom of so many funerals
in the West and South wasn't used,
according to Mr.. Demer's testimony.
Such language was never heard be-
fore the strike. Mr.. Demer said
he was out that night to protect his
man.
To Mr.. Mumford Mr.. Demer said
he did not hear Daniels say any
thing in particular.
William Bergman said he lived in
East Honesdale, below the old COW
cred bridge. He was at work in
the Herbeck-Demer shops Aug. 80.
He was acquainted with Daniels and
he supplemented his testimony as to
the existence of the acquaintance
with the words:
"I'd ought to know him, for he
insults me every time / pass him"
He said Daniels commenced to
treat him badly when the strike
started.
Bergman said he left the factory
at 6.05. He walked down Court
street and in front of the court
house he saw Daniels. There was
a crowd of 80 or more. They
shouted all the way down Court
street, but the witness said they
were some distance ahead and their
exact words he didn't get.
Mr.. Mumford asked what Berg
man heard Daniels say, and Berg
man told the defendants senior
counsel he did not hear Daniels say
anything. Uaniels, he added, was
not very far back in that crowd of
80. He might have been three feet
behind the leaders. He was walk
ing. H was not on bicycle.
At this point Mr.. Iloff said he
rested for dinner. The recess was
until Q.
Mr.. Iloff called Joseph Demer as
his first afternoon witness. Mr..
Demer said he lived in Texas and
was a glass manufacturer. On Aug
80, he told the lawyer, he was on
his way between the factory and
Court street on his way home. He
said he knew Frank Daniels and
saw him little after 6 that night
Daniels was at the corner of Elev.
enth street and Court, with 25 oil
80 fellows around him, and the
crowd, according to Mr.. Demer's
story, was noisy. They were yell.
ing and bowling and the first man
to shout "Scab" was Daniels. The
witness was positive he heard Dan
iels use the word three times.
When Mr.. Demer and Mr.. Ilof
described Daniels as ''the leader oi
the mob" there was a wrangle be-
tween Iloff and Mumford, the lat
ter objecting vigorously to the
term.
81 said," said Mr.. Demer, that he
(Daniels) urged the crowd on tc
catch up with my brother ant
Knapp"
From the corner of Eleventh
street and Court, the witness said
he went home. AS far as he could
hear they were bowling and hol
lering, conduct that never occurred
before the strike. Mr.. Demer sale
he thought Daniels worked fol
Krantz, Smith & Co., and stopped
work at either or 6, according t
the department of the shop he wa!
in. He admitted he did not know
for certain the quitting time o.
Daniels.
Mr.. McCarty was not lengthy II
his cross-examination of Mr.. Demer
He asked him If the Herbeck-Demel
company was a party TO this prose
cution and he wanted to know whit
subpoenaed this witness.
Nobody" said Mr.. Demer. 90
came myself. / know l got here
That's enough"
This" said Mr.. Hon, sis fool
lsh and unnecessary question" Mr
McCarty said it was a fair question
and he demanded an answer. Mr.
Demer said Daniels was pointed ou
to him by Mr.. Herbeck on the stree
one night when Demer and Herbecl
were on their way home.
Are you after Daniels in par
ticular?" asked Mr.. McCarty. Mr.
Iloff objected and the question wa
ruled out.
Mr.. Demer said Daniels was tn
only man in the crowd he recogniZ
ed. Daniels was bowling "Scab.
About 20 people were around him
He was sure he saw Daniels an
heard his voice. There were other
talking, but Daniels, he declared
was bowling. The witness said h
did not watch Daniels to Dorfling

tiveness that Daniels was walkin

Daniels with a bicycle at othel
times.
