Wllkex-Haiie, Feb. 3. Tlie healing
of evidence for the eommpn wealth wns
fccRtin In the Martin trial today.
After the court had overruled a mo
tion by the district attorney that the
jury be taken to view the scene of the
fchootinK at Latimer, Attorney McGah
nn made the openmg address to the
jury. He told them they would have
to decide upon the UghtB of men to
tj.aich peaceably upon the public high
way, as veil ns upon the duties of the
sheriff. He explained the dlffeient de
grees of homicide, and said if it was
lroed that any of the deputies had
threatened to kill the strikers they
should bo coivvlcted of murder in the
llrst degree. The luwyer reviewed the
movements of the strikers on nnd be
fore the night of the affray, and said
it would be proved that when the
deputies set out to Intercept the march
ers one of them remarked:
"I'll bet I'll drop six of the sdrlk
cis." Another Bald: "I hope we get n
chance to take a pop at home of them,"
nnd a third, Edward Turnbach, said:
"What does the sheriff mean by march
ing us around in this way all day
without giving us a chance to shoot?"
After dwelling on the fact that the
marching miners were unarmed, the
uttorney came down to the meeting
between the two bodies of men. He
haid the sheriff stopped the stilkers,
and, "without any woids of explana
tion, drew his revolver and placed it
at the breast of the flag-bearer, who
threw up his hands and Jumped back.
The sheriff snapped Ills revolver. It
finally exploded, and the man dropped.
Then the shooting commenced and con
tinued for some four or live minutes,
some of the deputies emptying their
Buns. I will not say that all did. Some
of the men were killed at a distance of
live hundred feet from the road, and
nearly all were shot In the bank.
'We will prove to you that' 19 men
were killed ard 38 wounded. Joseph
Costello. who went to aid the wounded,
met n deputy named Hess, and when
Costello. coming upon the dying man,
said: 'It Is a shame; It Is an outrage,
HebH exclaimed: 'If you say unother
word I'll treat you in the same man
ner.' "When we have proved these facts
to you we shall say, and we shall ex
pect his honor to say that these men
had a right to organize, a right to
march, nnd a right to use the public
highway. We will then expect you to
do your duty nnd to vindicate these
men, and find the defendants guilty."
THE FIRST "WITNESS.
Andrew Slvar was the first witness
railed. He is a Hungarian, but speaks
excellent English. He proved the death
of Mike Cozlak, saying that he saw him
lying dead on the road at Lattimer
with a bullet In his head. He told in
detail of the march from Harwood to
Latimer; how the sheriff had met
them at West Hazlotpn and told them
to disperse, and how the chief of police
had said to them that they could march
through the side streets. The depu
ties then got on the car and when the
strikers teached Lattimer the deputies
were lined up alongside of the road,
"Witness saw the sheriff draw his re
volver and heard It snap, and then the
shooting commenced, and the witness
dropped to the ground to avoid being
shot. "Witness said there was llrst one
shot, then two, and then a volley.
John Swar was severely cross-examined
In the afternoon by Attorney
Lenahan, but he made an excellent
witness, kept cool, replied slowly, de
liberately and strengthened his story
In chief by the numerous details which
the defense elicited. He remarked at
one period of the examination that he
could not understand hlgh-tdned Eng
lish, meaning that he did not know the
meaning of some of the big words used
by Attorney Lenahan. This gae the
defense an opportunity to air Its
humorous views and the common
wealth objected veiy decidedly, saying
to the court that the case was of such
Importance that It should be conducted
with dignity and theie was no occa
Blon for buffoonry. The court lepil-

mnnded the defendants' attorney. Tho
defense nttemptcd to show that the
witness had been engaged In terror
izing those who did not want to strike
to such nil extent that they were forced
to Join the strikers through fedr of In
Jury, but the court would not allow It,
saying it wns not cross-examination.
Later the defense asked the witness If
ho had not been engaged in or known
of sundry cusps of violence at the strik
ers as tho uggiessors on the day of the
strike. This tho witness denied. Each
case was cited with the nnme of tho
man assaulted, the plnco nnd the cir
cumstances, but the witness had not
heard of nnv of them.
The second witness wns John Mahala,
a rather Important personage, who wns
at the time of the trlke the president
of the Ilnrwood local union of the
United Mine Woikers of America. On
the night before the shooting ho called
a meeting nt Harwood, he Bald, and
told those present that the men work
ing nt Latimer had asked If the Har
wood men would march over tho next
day and if they did bo, tho Latimer
men would Join them. The meeting
agieed to march over, whereupon Ma
hala read to them the Instructions of
tho United Mine Workers' union to men
on strike, cuutlonlng thorn to attempt
no lolence, to destioy no pioperty,
make no threats, to cnny no weapons
and to behave themselves like peace
able, law-abiding citizens. The next
moinlng, with Mahala at their head,
some two hundred nnd fifty men
marched out of Harwood for Latimer.
They ennled no weapons and were well
behaved. At Cranberry they were
Joined by other strikers and reached
West Uazleton some four hundred
strong. Here they were stopped by the
sheriff nnd his deputies, und Mahala
continued his story by s-aylng. "The
sheriff told us to dtspeise and go home.
I said wo had a light to match, that
we were unarmed and peaceable and
were breaking no law, nnd that we
wanted to see our friends in Latimer.
Then oho of the deputies giabbed the
American flag I can led and tore it ir.
half. The sheriff pointed his revolver
nt us und thientened to Hhoot. The
deputies pushed us nround with the
muzzles of their guns and swore at us,
and one struck John Eustls twice with
his gun, cutting his head and bi caking
his arm In two places.
BURGESS JONES REMONSTRATED.
"Then Bmgess Jones, of West Hazle
tcn, remonstrated with the sheriff, say
ing that he could keep tho peace with
out using any weapons, that he had
confidence In us and would let us march
through the fctreets of his borough as
much ns we liked. Tho sheiiff and his
deputies then boarded the cars nnd we
marched on tow aid Latimer."
The witness said that after le-iMng
"West Hazleton he went to the rear and
was in tho rear of the crowd when the
shooting commenced. He did not tee
any of It but aa soon ns he heard the
shots he lan up to try nnd stop It. By
the time lie reached the front the shoot
ing had ended. He saw ten dead men
and a number of wounded lying In the
road. The w itness w as cross-examined
very closely but only substantiated his
story especially about the men being
unarmed, orderly nnd peaceably In
clined. Rev. Father Richard Aust, pastor of
St. Stanislaus Polish' Catho'ic church
at Hnzleton, who Is chairman of the
prosecuting committee, was called ti
piove that many of the strlkeis weie
shot in the back. He said he had ex
amined u nuniber of the dead, but
could not tell In detail what their

of; the dead and looked after a number
of the wounded.
Rev. Carl Hauser.pastor of the Luth
eran chuich at Preeland. and who
numbeied among his congregation .ev
eral of the dead nnd wounded, said
that he had examined several and
found all of them were shot In the
side or the back. He gae an Inter
esting bit of testimony, 'i boarded a
car," he said, "which brought ten of
the dead and a lot of the wounded fiom
the scene of the shooting. There wis
a pile of rifles in a corner. I said to
one of the deputies. Frunk Clark, I
am afraid of some of them falling and
exploding. 'You need not be nfiaid,'
ho leplled, 'they are all empty now'."
AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER.
Harry Dryfoos, an amateur photo
giapher, who had taken several pic
tures of the scene of the shooting, tes
tllied to so doing and the photogiaphs
were gi en to the Jury for their exam
ination. Then came one of the most
impoi tant witnesses for the common
wealth, Chattel Guscott, who Is prin
cipal of the Latimer school, a frame
building about six hundred yard3 from
the scene of the shooting and In full
view of all that took place on tlv
eventful tenth ot September nt Lati
mer. Guscott said he was teaching
eh'col when he heard an unusual noIs
nnd going to the window ho found
that a numbei of men, some elghtv
were alighting from an electilc car.
They were the deputies. Miss Coyle,
his assistant, nls-o watched them and
while th"lr attention was thus riveted
the pupils rushed for the doc 'nd got
outside. Ho t-av, tho deputlts line up
across the road and then not satisfied
with the position they moved over tn
the side of the toad and formed there
1 with illles ready. The strikers weie by
this time coming over the blow of a
hill some two or three bundled yards
away. They weie marcnlng om flvp
and alx abreast and weie quiet and 01
detly. Witness could not s.ee that they
can led any weapons. They approach
ed slowly und as they diew neat the
sheriff advanced to meet them. As he
reached the first man a dozen or mj
foimd a ton of halt eliclo aiuund him.
Hf did not lunr the uheilff say any
thing nor did he see him iwtd any
paper A minute ifter the lino first
Bfpppd those behind pushed ahead to
s.e what was going on and got ahead
of tlui sheiltr. At that moment onn of
the deputies stepped out of tho line
und advanced some ten 01 twelve paces
as if he was going to lene the other
deputies. whteupon one Miout d "if
you do not come back we will shoot
you too" The tellow Jumped bask In
to the line and nhncst immediately
ufter the witness heard a thot It
oamo from tho left of the line of depu
ties. A moment later two moro shots
weie llred and then caiuo tho volley,

STRIKERS RAN.
The witness said that as t-oon as the
volley was fired the stilkers ran In all
directions and u great many of them
ion toward the school houso and that
between the read nnd tho school house
fifteen men fell, struck down by shots
filed after the voile-). Witness saw a
number of killed und wounded men ly
ing on tho'iond but could not say how
many. Ho saw one man shot and kill
ed while limning at full speed at a dis
tance of one hundred yaids from the
road The shooting continued for some
two or three minutes The witness did
not see any of the deputies lenvo the

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR ,
CONSTIPATION.
Regulations is to Diet. Exercise,
etc., as Prescribed by One
of the most Eminent
Physicians.
Constipation affects mostly those who
are d) sneptic or who sit too much or too
long. It cannot be cured by medicines
alone. The following Is the prescrip
tion of a leading physician:
1st, Take on rising .1 teaspoonful of
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in a glass of wa
ter as hot ns you can sip it. Then take
a brisk walk out of doors, if you can ;
if not, keep on your feet and move about
indoors. If the trouble is chronic and
serious, take another dose in from thirty
to sixty minutes. Wait at least half an
hour before eating your breakfast.
2d, Never sit down to read or work
after breakfast until Nature has found
relief. " But I haven'ttimc." You will
have time if you rise an hour earlier
than before, and a cure is worth that.
id. Use laxative food use a gruel of
rolled oats and water, no milk ; and use
honey with wheat griddle cakes or with
bread. Never touch toast, or milk ex
cept in coffee. Don't cat blackberries
or cheese, andncverdrink tea forbrcak
fast, Use coffee at breakfast, if you can;
if not, hot water. Chew all food thor
oughly and never use a liquid to help
masticate it. Never use acids or sour
fruits, and fruit when cooked is much
easier digested than if uncooked.
4th. Why use Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt ? Because, first, there is no reac
tion to follow it. You know what that
means, if jouhave taken physics and
found yourself worse off than before,
the second day afterwards; second, be
cause the Genuine Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt aids the stomach as well as the
bowels in their functions.
You can take the Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt less and less steadily as you im
prove; but never be without a bottle
handy. Be sure to use only the Genu
ine Carlsbad Salt, which is obtained
from the celebrated Carlsbad Sprudel
Water, and has the signature of Eis
ner & Mendelson Co., Sole Agents,
New York, on every bottle.

"The main fentuics of the local lion
and steel market this week Is the dis
position shown In some lines to con
tinue piesent pilces fuither than hold
ers intended a short time ago The
eahtern market remains about as it was
at last leboit, as In Now Yoik neatly
every lino Is lather dull. Tiallioad or
ders aie slow In coming In, and com
petition Is quite keen. Theie is no Im
provement in llnlshed branches, At
Philadelphia theie are feais of an ac
cumulation of pig lion stocks that Is
hurting the market The feeling in pig
iron Is better, as tai builders have
seemed good ordeis, and the bar mills
have better piospects. The sheet Iron
tiade Is Ineieaslng, while the plate and
tank lines show a vigorous demand. It
is the genet al opinion that bridge
building will be gteatly Increased this
year Chleugo reports pig iron sales
for delivery extending over the next
five months. Although an advance has
been made In bar lion ptlees, the old
figuies aie being paid In many in
stances. Hlg oulers for sheet Iron are
pending In tho western market. The
pig Iron trade at Cincinnati Is Increas
Ing and southern Iron Is steadier. The
low prices bring out more Interest In
the chaicoal lions. The sheet iron
tiade is Improving, and theie is a bet
ter outlook for structural material.
Cleveland reports the llrst Indications
of an oie-buylng movement. Sundry
grades of pig Iron are active, and bar
iron is strongor. Itods, wiio and nails
show quite an Improvement over ie.

shows little change, hut sheets and

a wager of $15 he ate four nnd a half
dozen eggs In twenty minutes,
The remaikable feat of gluttony was
carried out at a saloon at 241) Chicago
avenue. The eggs were eaten raw, und
no seasoning was nllowed, The bet
called for tho disposal of four dozen
eggs, but when Sham had finished that
number he tossed off half a dozen
mote, Just to show that he was a big
ger man than even his friends thought.
After eating the fifty-four eggs Sham
felt slightly Indisposed, bo ho topped
them off with a few rounds of drinks.
No provisions having been made for
the cost of the eggs, bliam was forced,
under strong protest, to pay the sa
loonkeeper 80 tents for them.
