Me Tells It on Examination In Court, He fore Judge Lynch. The colored mea act'UKeil of blowing up tlii; Hungarian shanty In the moun tain cut-off last October, wlio were re cently arrested after. a long; pursuit by Detective O'Brien "and T. F. IJulgley. vere brought Into court yesterday und Kiven a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus. Frank Snuffer, the man who confessed, la a light colored, unintelli gent looking negro, and befo:e he w.is Iut on the Ktand he wa. ti.ld of Ills right by Judge Lynch, aid informed that whatever he said would be used against him at the trial, t'-iiauer said he knew this, Iiiit had made up his mind to tell the truth and take th.' chances. The examination was conducted by Disti lot Attorney Fell for the common Wealth, and by Attorneys Shea and Mc- SuVerr- for the defense. The first wit ness was Michael BulaviU-h. a resident of Noxeu. He lived ut Laurel Hun when the shanty was blown up and .bout 3 o'clock In the morning heard the explosion, and ran to tile shanty, where he saw a lot of people. Thc hanty was a wreck, and he saw the men build a lire and cover themselves with blankets. Among the killtd were John Selugakellas and Frar.k N'orsep, and another one died In the hospital. Witness was sent to Farview for a doctor. Seven men were wounded and three kljled out of the sixty in the house at the time. Afttr the explosion wit ners saw some trunks scattered around and saw some dynamite cartridges wrapped up in paper, also a battery. The darkies helped carry away the dead and wounded. He found a lot of unex ploded cartridges stuck In the ground. The cross-examination, of this witness by Mr. McGovern revealed nothing new. and Contractor Sayre, of the firm of Sayre & McDonald, was next sworn and testified -to the location of the batteries and wires used to explode the charge. Frank Shaffer, the negro who con fessed, made his statement as follows: On Oct. 2S, 1S94. I was on the Valley cut off with Nelson Miller, Jim Miller. Oeorge Bird. Hester Brace and Sarah Miller, who are sitting on the prisoners' bench. On the evening before the ex plosion they were in. the car. and John Bird and Frank Holt were with them. Jim Miller and I went to Quigley's store the night of the explosion and returned home about 12 o'clock. Went to bed. I laid down about 3 o'clock and Xela ?Ji!ler went up to Abbot's cut aad got a battery and wires, lie returned and placed the wires and then cam back. Long before this h frequently tried to persuade me to blow up the shanty. When I came back from Miner's Mill I was full. Nelse Mi'ler. Jim Miller, Sarah Miller. Hester Erk-e and me were together.- It was about 2.-10 in the morn ing. Xelse Miller tulJ me to pull the battery, and I pu!l-d It. The shanty went up and Nelse Miller said, "there she goes." Then v.v w-r.t up and got what we could and lit out. Jim Miller and Nelse Miller were with rue when I pulled the battery, Sarah and Hester were o.i the railroad track standing guard, when we went up after the ex plosion. I found a trunk and kicked it open. Nelse Miller took out a pocket book and put it in- the Inside pocket of tils coat, and we all went back to our chanty. Then Nelae counted the money end divided It. I got J 10, George. Jor dan ti, and John Bird $0. 'Xelse, Jim, Hester and Sarah divided the remain der. Then I went to bed and got up at ( o'clock and went to work. We got the dynamite from the box, and Nelse aid he got some .more from the Boston mine. We took the women along be cause they wanted to go. On cross-examination he said he was 19 or 20 yearn of age, he didn't know which, and came from Yves!t Virginia, where he knew the others. On the day of the murder he went to Miner's Mills and got some whisky, and got home to the -box car about 10 o'clock at night. The Others had fixed the wires and f.sked him to pull the battery, which he did. f He knew what he was doing at the time, and 'pulled the battery de liberately. He sad he knew the testi mony could be used against him, but would take the chances. Mr. McGovern here asked that the de fendants be discharged for lack of cor roborative testimony. Judge Lynch . would not listen to his proposition, and held, all five for court without ball. PRICE IS GUILTY. The jury Bemalns out Forty-Two Ilours and First Ruperts a Dlsairecment. When court opened yesterday morn ing, the Jury In the Prloa case, which had been out over Sunday, came In and reported that they were unable to agree and asked to to discharged from fur ther service. Judge Lynch Informed y hm that court would remain In Bes sie n all of this woek and part of next week, and that, therefore, there was no hurry and they would have ample time to agTee on a verdict. The Jury was considerably surprised at this, but went to the Jury room again, and In n short time returned wi th a verdict of guilty. 'The court thanked the mem-bei-a and remarked that the verdict wes perfectly Just and proper and In acf-ordance with the evidence. The Jury, which had been out since Buturday afternoon, stood eleven to one In favor of acquittal, one man having stood out against a fair verdict for nearly two days. After the Jury had bivn discharged one of the Jurymen aid: ".On -the first ballot tt stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal. Then tw-slve ballots were taken and the num bef ror acquittal dropped' to two. Th . oiit) for acquKtat were sincere and wonted the costs put on Price but un der no consideration would they agree to , verdict of guilty. Sunday we ar gued a little but no ballot was taken until. In th evening:, when one more " dropped over to the guilty side. An . filter ballot was taken before going in to court this morning, but he stood Arm. AUei the Judge gave hi orders end wn retired, he voted guilty. Yes, we had some warm wrangling." Immediately after the verdict had been received by the court and the jury dlscharired. Attorney McGovern made a motion for a new trial, and ye?terd.iy afternoon filed the reasons. They were to the effect that the verdict was not In accordance with the evidence, and that the court erred In charging the Jury, and that other testimony not of fered at the flr3t trial could be brought forward at the second. Argument on the motion for a new trial will "be heard on Saturday. When court opened yesterday after noon. District Attorney Fell asked that Mr. Price be allowed to enter ball for his appearance for sentence next Satur day. The court allowed the motion and C. W. Tammany entered bull ror him in the additional bond of J.'.uiW. BICYCLISTS ASSEMBLE. The Advance liunrd Comes to Town-Last hvenlng's I ntcrtiiiniucnt.
