ctor David Marsh Was Taken To New Haven, at 1:50 By
fa of Cheshire Loop Court Adjourned at 12:30 After the
Cases of Ross, Marsh and McGuire Were Concluded
Stories Told By the State's Witnesses.
"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.

with him to Hurlburt's shop.' There he
saw Whltty, Kenny, Ryan, . Ball,

There was a crowd at this place and
they started for the track in twos and
threes. Up at the tracks he saw War

the return rrom tne iracw u bu

could identify any of the others he saw
at the tracks.- He was rather dilatory

near Morris Waas at Hurlburt's shop.

method of i identlflcatton. ,' Ilowever,

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. Mvi Kellogg was"' not
. there. Colonel Burpee told him that

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.

Baby Crlea br Telephone .
A West Philadelphia druggist who
Recently became the proud father of
his first baby was called to Baltimore
the other day on a business trip. Early
in the af ternoon the telephone bell in
his home rang and his 'wife answered
the call. Hubby was at the other end,
in Baltimore. "It seuied so funny not
to hear the baby crying," came th
voice over the wire, "that I couldn't
stand it any longer. Can't you bring
him to the 'phone so I can hear him?"
Wifey woke the child up out of a sound
sleep, and he very accommodatingly
began to bawl at .the top of his lungs
into the receiver while his mother held
him in her arms. J This continued until
the baby had cried '80 cents worth
over the long-distance wire, when the
happy father rang off. Philadelphia

Electric Billiards.
From Paris comes the report of ai
new amusement known ; as "electric
billiards." It is played on a table, in
the center of which is placed a plate
of some easily electrified material.
The billiard balls are of compressed
pitch, and the cue is a short rod
with a cork tip, prepared chemically.
The balls are of course, subject to
the Influence- of the electrified plate,
in the center of the table, and owing
to this , fact it ist difficult to make
carooms.; It is said to be purely a
game- of skill, and when it is intro
duced into New York, which it is
said, will be in the near future, it is
likely to become popular among
champion billiard ; players who are
thirsting for new difficulties to con
quer, as well as by all others who
find handling the cue a fascinating
pastime. New York Times.
