"Would you have told anything but the truth to get out last night?" Mr Meigs asked him. h Will I have to answer that?" wlt ness.asked, after a good deal of hesita tion. . , "i'ou will' said Mr Meigs. "No, he will not," said Mr Kenneaj-; jumping to as , feet and creating a great sensation, by the maimer of his declaration, "lie certainly will . not have to answer that." "I will not answer it. then," he said. , "On what grounds?" he was asked, .'Because it might incriminate me," was his answer, ' Officer Keegan was then recalled, and he Identified McU-uire and Marsh. :; Quinn was put on again by Mr Ken nedy, and, brought face to face with McGuire, was asked if he saw McGuire at any time on the night in question, and he said: ' ' "I don't think I did." To Mr Meigs lio said he saw, Mc Guire flnU night, because he saw him in the pool room. He told Colonel Burpee he did not know one man. He was asked, finally, if he saw him on that night, and lie definitely stated that he did not think he saw him. - Joseph Kelly, another of the accused, was then called to the stand. Ho lives at 461 West Main street. He traveled the same ground as the other witnesses, but he differed from them in that lie did not remember who was at ;. Hurlburt's'. shop. ; He . thought ther e was more than three In the crowd, aud he heard some one , say something about taking an oath to keep silence. Mr Meigs tried to show that witness had; made different; statements to other people, but Mr O'Neill claimed it made no difference what he had said before or- what statements he ; had made. ; Speaking 5 about the crowd at the track, he said Marsh, Vandemark and Ross remained behind. He did not see McGuire coming down the hill after the assanlt. He saw Marsh on the trolley tract and Rose, at Hurlburt's before the aswaulr,- Witness saw the car crew throw up their hands and saw some rorms on we car, ou.i meie we not more than two. .It was rather dark and he could not see very well, ; He saw Merna and Morrissette on the ground, but saw no one touch them. He came to be' in; the crowd because he, had heard in the pool room there was to be some f un with the scabs. ; : Witness was cross-examined by ' Mr Dauaher. ; Monday night, while locked up at the . police station, v Detective Dodds asked him to tell what he knew. Inducements were held out to him to do so. Witness told him he knew nothing about it. Monday nlgnt i he was visited by Colonel Burpee "and questioned by him. Officer , Hlckey also spoke to him. Colonel Burpee was the last who spoke to him. The interviews were ; held ., la the chief's office. Sunday night he was taken to Sheriff Riguey'd office and Rigney told him he would have to go to see Detec tive "Rogers at the Hotel Waterbury. Witness refused to go and Rigney told him he would have to go to the hotel or be locked up In .the police station. Then he went to the hotel and had an interview o'f ten minutes with Detec tive, Rogers, i Last -night Detective Dodds spoke to him again and told hlni( that if he would tell all he knew he"would get him released. Witness was released last night, after telling hJsjitory to Colonel Burpee. He at tributed his release to Colonel Burpee. He was asked how lie knew Colonel Burpee got him out, and he : said he had heard It Quinn was in custody at this time. ' Witness told his story in order to get out. , He was asked if he would tell auything to get out, and he said he did not know whether 'he would or not. He could not recall what mo tive or attraction It was that took him to the trolley, track. He; heard said something about the ." trolleymen, but he saw no weapons-nor heard any threats. This finished with Kelly, and Stephen Ball was brought in. , He turned state's evidence jRinoe last night. ; lie saw Marsh near Hurlburt's shop. 1 This was all the evidence taken from Ball. ; ; The state rested its case here. Mr Meigs claimed that the three accused. Boss. Marsh and McGuire. were all identified and that was sufficient. ' Mr Kennedy replied. He appeared paTtlciilavly for McGuire,. and claimed that the only evidence against him was that he was seen on the railroad tracks alone and before the alleged assault. He did not think there was sufficient evidence to hold his client for a Jury in the higher court. He saw no rea son why he should be bound over for assault with Intent to murder, because he was seen on the railroad alone and away from w.here there was a crowd of men. He asked the court to follow the old reliable rule to think if there was the evidence of one competent, reliable witness, before deciding the case. . Would the evidence of any of the witnesses be taken In' any other case, would It bo taken even in a civil case McGuire is entitled to the ben efit of a reasonable doubt. He is en titled to at least the evidence of one truthful person, some reliable charac ter be foie lie should be bound over, and he was entitled to all the safe guardofthc court. F jtussMl spoke for.

Thomas Qulnn.one of the accused mem bers of the Rosedale club, was then niiftd in and sworn. Alter he. was warned by Judge Teasley that he meed give no evidence' that would tend to criminate htm, he was also warned by Mr O'Neill, his guardian pro tern, that It was important to himself that be Should not testify ' ' ' Qulnu then testified that he lives at ' 49 South Willow street and that on the night of, the anegea assaun uv mci Marsh in Wolcott's pool room and went with him to Hurlburt's shop.' There he saw Whltty, Kenny, Ryan, . Ball, Thorpe and Clifford Vandemark. There was a crowd at this place and they started for the track in twos and threes. Up at the tracks he saw War ren and Clifford Vandematk, and after the return rrom tne iracw u bu Kelly - and Ennls. , He was asked to look around the room ) and see if he could identify any of the others he saw at the tracks.- He was rather dilatory Melsrs, who conducted tne prosecuuou, . ask.d him if he saw the man sitting near Morris Waas at Hurlburt's shop. , The defense rose up in a howl at this method of i identlflcatton. ,' Ilowever, witness finally dld.recognlze McGuire, but did not know his name until told , by Attorney Meigs.

Asked how h came to be a;witness when he is a prisoner, he said that a few nights ago James Dunny took him , to Attorney Kellogg's office and there -he was kept, about four hours by Col- onel - Burpee.

T cups, T wn"UU. '"Ihp answer. ;t HIM t n UU Hfipco oik m hided to !? was'iiot.- I very hara that because n Jn in a crowd of twenty or 1 be bound over to answer to the charge of assault with intent to murder. No one saw him after the crowd left Hurlburt's shop. It was no crime to be at that place or in that crowd. Mr O'Neill reminded the court of the rule Uhat no one should be bound over unless at least one good reputable wit ness had testified against him. The evidence of 1W accomplices resnii in nothing. Their evidence is or no weight. They said they were willing to tell anything or do anything to get out. The witnesses were like so many broken ; reeds. The only evidence of weight was given by Merna, who identified Wlnnegar. All the rest amounted to nothing. Now what, is the charge? It !s In tent to murder and kill. What is the evidence? There was nothing said about murder or even mayhem nothing said about taking out the eyes of these ' trolleymen, to maim them in their fighting members, to gouge out their eyes, cut out their tongues or cripple them. If it was their inten tion to murder what was in the way, of their ' shooting them when as Merna says the three men entered the car, and what did they do? Nothing but said throw up your hands, pid they shoot or did they kill? No! What was to prevent them from shooting or killing? These two men were at the mercv of Uhis crowd, if crowd there was." What was In the way then of killing or s maiming these trolleymen? No doubt some one did assault these men and he should be punished. Ev ery man who went1 up there; to beat these trolleymen. was a co-conspirator, but is there any evidence of a con spiracy? Mr O'Neill then quoted from the books on .conspiracy. Then lh - resumed his argument asking if there was premeditated, concerted ac tion who were the agreeing parties. All of the accused could not be held for the act of one. If the accused had agreed to give the trolleymen a drub bing and one of them fired a shot and killed on of the trolleymen, the others could not be held. He admitted there was sufficient evidence to hold Winno gar, at present, but only him alone. Prosecutor Duf ant , claimed there was motive of murder shown in that ewenty men gathered together that they swore silence, that after beating the complainants they laid one of them across the tracks so that he would be run: over and killed by the car. Was there motive to murder shown in a fractured skull and did not one Jhe Vandemarks say a day or so 'after one of the scabs is dead. The intentwas shown in what they did and the way in which they did it. v The tourtibeld . there was sufficient evidence to hold the accused and they were accordingly bound "over under bonds of $2,000 each. Court adjourned at 12:30 o'clock and the 1 cases against ' Kelly, the two Qulnnsr Costello,, Ifeill, ' Eunls Thorpe, Whitty, Wolcott and Kenny were continued to Monday, morning. ; All of j those who have been bound over have procured bail ex cepting Marsh, who was taken to New Haven jail this afternoon at 10. ' r The -wife of i David Marsh called at the police station this afternoon short ly after her husband had left for New Haven. She .gpoke through an inter preter and expressed much surprise that he had not been balled out, stating that had she known the situation she could have furnished a bondsman her self. The strikers were taken at a disadvantage on "account of court ad journing so early in the day, but they went to work to secure bail for Marsh and got a man, but not on time to fur nish the documents before the prisoner had left town. The hoys felt somewhat Indignant at this and thought that all things considered it was not using them right. Court adjourned about 12:80 o'clock and MarsJi was taken to New Haven : by way of the Cheshire loop on the 1:50 train. But his friends do not intend to leave hira there. The strikers' executive committee Is sued the following statement this af ternoon, , ' . This, the , eighty-first day, of our strike finds our men, firmer than ever, notwithstanding the many. efforts made to break our ranks, about wlhlch we will have something to say In a day or two. We do not wish to. make any com ments on what has transpired for the past two days. To-monxw we will probablv have Rome. very interesting reading tor the public. . The men bound over yesterday were released oil bonds and were about town to-day. , James MeCullough and Pat rick Barnes furnished bonds for the Vandemarks; Bernard Coyle bailed out Warren; Dennis Allen went bondsman for Wlnnegar, and John H. Fruln, for Brearton. One r ,vo of the nartiea under arrest besides those who have already turned state's evidence have signified their willingness to make statements, but d the authorities mean what they say they have all the evi deuce they want to convict the men. If things turn out this way it will soon be a case of the devil take the rear man and the state will have more wit nesses than It will care to accept While there may be some truth In these rumors, one would not think so by the conduct of the men who have been released on bonds and who have since been seen about town. They don't act like men who had reason to fear anything. Whatever way the trial of the men now under arrest goes. It is certain that it will not be much, of a. card "for youngsters who make a practice of loafing in club, rooms instead of work ing during the daytime and devoting their time to something more profitable evenings than pool playing. Boys run great risks when they enter societies where men congregate and indulge In all kinds of games as well as conver satlcu, aud while it uilght be hard to do it, still It would seem that of the two evils It would be hotter for a man lo turn his boy over to the court and have him sent to the Connecticut. home for boys than leave him p. prey to the Influences he is sure torussh against when , he persists In choosing his own company long before he knows enough to take care of himself. Clubs are all right for young men who do not use them as "ham? outs." but lust as soon as a boy commences to remain away rrom work to loiter about a pool tame, the chances are good that he is start ing on a downward career, which is like.lv to end in state h -orison, if not the gallows. After all. there Is no club so safe as the one known as the home circle, with headquarters under the parental roof. - Rumors., were afloat this afternoon to the effect that those who wer impli cated in, the death of Foaceman Men delssohn would be arrested soon, prob ably to-morrow. Such, rumors as tJhese were afloat previous to the arrests or .. .... . . those whose trials were nmsnea tnis mominar. and. like them, no one couiu say whence they emanated. Colonel Burpee was asked if he had heard tne reports and he admitted that the po lice had found i definite clue to the men. Further than that he did not care to speak. FOR A STUBBORN CONTEST.
