Sheehan on Stand.
Robert Gallagher Woods, Superin
tendent of the Jackson Humber Com
pany, was the principal witness to be
heard in the Cnited States Court today
In the trial of W. S. Harlan, et al.
for conspiracy to commit peonage. Gal
lagher is one of the defendants In this
case and he was on the stund for fully
i twit hours during this time being sub
| jocted to a most rigid cross examina
tion. , . . . .
The witness firmly denied many of
the allegations as’ to cruelty that he
is charged with indicting upon for
eigners and related what transpired in
the camps and across the line in Flor
ida Which according to his testimony,
amounted to nothing more than a tew
fights and arrest of parlies for steal
ing His testimony on cross examina
tion however, was at considerable va
rianee with that of other witnesses for
the defense. , . .
A number of the other defendant*
were heard during: today, but nothing
new was produced. Among the wit
nesses this afternoon was W- 1 l.
Sheehan of The Montgomery Adverti
ser. who was on the stand, for a short
time this afternoon to state what he
found at the. camp when he investigated
conditions there several months since
for hit paper. He will bo heard again.
It is possible that there vill be some
rather sensationul testimony adduced
during tin* trial tomorrow At least
that is intimated by the prosecution.
Both the Government and defense have
summoned more witnesses in the case
and the prospects now are that it will
he Saturday or .Monday before the cade
goes to the Jury. _
