was Impossible to get 'Squire Martin
over the 'phone, and finally a messenger
was sent to him, atking him to come
to tho sheds or at least to the courthouse.
He declined to come to the sheds, as re?
quested! and tho messonger didn't remem?
ber what he said about the courthouse
proposition. Thereupon a special car was
run out, and a squad ?f soldiers was de?
tailed to accompany Farley and Mi*.
Murray M. McGulre, counsel for tho
company, In their search for tho magis?
trate. A speedy trip was mado to the
courthouse, but It was there stated that
'Squire Martin had gone to Glendale and
could not be reached at all. As a last
resort, 'Squire Lowls was waked up and
he announced himself ready to (?rant tho
much-deslrcd ball. The car went on back
up to the West End, where the necessary
proceedings were conducted, and thus
the case ended for the, evening, or, rather,
the early morning.
The Trial Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock Far?
ley appeared before 'Squire Martin for
trial on the two warrants. In view of
the fact that at this time factory folk
and others employed in the East End
are Just coming home, an effort was
made to get another hour for the trial, I
but without effect. Hence the squad of
soldiers.
One of tho complainants, Roberts, was
not present at all. The other, Cronogue,
asked for a postponement until to-day,
declaring that he had not been able to
get his witnesses together, and that
some of them had been "spirited away"
by the company. 'Squire Martin promptly
granted the request. Captain Gulgon,
foi tho defense, mado strenuous objec?
tion, stating that after the remarkable
arrest mado In tho dead of the night on
a trivial charge, and the other peculiar
circumstances attending this arrest, he
thought it strange that the Common?
wealth should ask for a postponement.
He thought It unfair to the defendant,
who was present and ready to be tried,
to have to submit to such Interruptions
of the business In which he Is engaged.
The objections were of no avail. 'Squire
Martin granted the continuance and set
the case for 11 o'clock to-day. Mr. Mc?
Gulre, one of the counsel for the com?
pany, arose to make a statement, but
he stopped In tho middle of the first
sentence and awaited the pleasure of
the presiding officer, who chopped him
off by asking Cronogue to go on with
the list of witnesses he -was calling out.
When Mr. Martin was finally at leisure
the attorney proceeded to ask that the
defense be considered somewhat In the
matter, and that the postponement. If it
had to be made, be estended to a week
or more, at least until next Wednesday.
The attorneys for the company, he said,
had engagements for every hour of the
day up to that time. 'Squire Martin
refused to budge from his decision, and
he proceeded to call the witnesses for
the Commonwealth before him that he
might recognize them for their appear?
ance at 11 o'clock to-day,
"If your Honor please," said Mr, Mc
Guire, "It Is quite impossible?"
"Come around, Mr. Farley, and be re?
cognized," called out the Justice.
At this point Captain Gulgon arose. He
stated that at 11 o'clock to-day Farley
is to "be tried before 'Squire Lewis on
another warrant, and that no law on
earth could compel a man to be In two
places at the same time. This announce?
ment had no effect whatever upon the
magistrate. He declared that he had fixed
the hearing for 11 o'clock, and that he
didn't propose to change his decision.
Considerable of a discussion followed,
and finally at tho suggestion of a lawyer
In the room 'Squire Martin consented to
fix the case for. 10 o'clock this morning,
so as" to give Farley time to get through
with It and then appear before. 'Squire
Lewis.
In the absence of the complainant, the
Roberts awrrant charging assault and
, abusive language was dismissed.
Thinks it Looks Like a Plot.
While they are not given to a discus?
sion of the matter so plainly, It is easy
to sea that the officials of the company
regard the warrants served at a late hour
at night and the great difficulty to secure
ball as a plot of some sort to get the chief
of the strike-breakers Into hot water, or
at least to make him spend the night In
Jail. Farley declares that he has not
strucK any of tho strike-breakers, and
that he has not assaulted any of them.
