NO FIRST DEGREE
VERDICT EXPECTED
PRACTICALLY CERTAIN LUDDON
WILL ESCAPE HANGING.
All the Evidence Is Now In and the
Case Will Be Given to the Jury
This Morning Luddon's Defense
Is That He Thought the Mob Was
About to Carry Out Its Threatened
Vengeance, and Ho Mistook Raf
ferty and McKenna for the Load
ersThe Other Witnesses.
It Is ns good as u certainty that
Thonius l.uildnn will not bmiR. The
commonwealth, It Is understood, will
agree to accept a. plea of guilty uivl
liavo court fix the crime at second de
gree. All the evidence was In at ad
journing time yesterday afternoon, and
both sides rested.
Luddon's own story was the fcaturi'
of yesterday's proceedings. Ho was
called to the stand at 3 o'clock iind was
under examination by Mr. Murphy for
the defense, and Mr. Thomas, for the
prosecution, for nearly an hour. Se'.f
dvfense Is the excuse he gives for the
shooting. In answer to Mr. Murphy's
questions, he told that his home Is In
Mlnooka; that ho Is thirty-one years
of age, married, and tln father of three
children.
During the strike, he was a deputy
at Jerinvn, No. 1, and was assailed at
every turn with Imprecations and
threats. On the Sunday of the killing,
while Litiddon was reporting Incidents
of the dtiv to Foreman Powell, when
the latter said: "Oh, you're drunk,"
and when Luddon's buck was turned.
Powell pounced on him, crabbed the
revolver from his pocket, hut lost hold
of It, and ran away. Luddon denied
that he thte.Uened Powell, or that
Powell discharged him, explaining that
Ed. Jermyn, and not Powell, was hia
boss.
In making his tounds as watchmin,
about r, o'clock, Luddon met Matt Har
bor, Jr., and put him off the grounds
for trespassing:.
WENT TO srPPKH.
Shortly after this, l.uddon met "Cud"
nippen, a fellow-employe, and the lat
ter asieed to stay In his place for
awhile. T,uddon went lo Dumlnlck
Scabo's hotel to get something" to eat.
While there Luddon met Joe Jtogeis,
the Italian policeman, liogers taunt
ed him about his "scab" stur and s.ome
warm woids weie exchanged, ltogera
became highly Incensed and thteatened
to shoot Luddon. The latter left the
place and went em to the bieakei. ar
riving1 there between 7 and K o'clock.
Ho stopped for a time at another hotW
and partook of mote, drink.
At living at the bleaker, home vv oik
men were met with who told him not
to go near the shaft, as there was an
Italian up there who was going to
shoot him. "Yes," said one of them,
"he sent after a revolver." This had
refeience to Matt Barber, Jr., who had
sent Tony Commlnlgan, his brother-in-law,
to fetcli his gun fioin the house.
L.uddon was not deterred by this, but
went on to the shaft and encoiinteied
Commlnlgan. He had a levolver, and
Luddon disarmed him. Taking- with
him Fit emnn Munalno, who Is also a
special itlccr, Luddon inarched Com.
nilnlgan to the engine house, and bade
Murrains keep an eye em him while ha
hunted up "Cud" nippen, "All right."
said Murraine, "I'll look after hltn."
Assuring- Munalno that he would have
the fires attended to, Luddon Htaited
out, after hanging up his overcoat and
lighting the lantern, which, as several
times previously described, blazed up
In a sort of explosion and set fire to
the floor. Matt Uarber then approached
and Luddon made him a prisoner also,
and placed him with Commlnlgan in
the engine house In Murralne's charge.
THEY MADE THREATS.
Returning to search for "Cud" Klp
pen, ils substitute, Luddon found on
opening the door that n crowd was
assembling, which greeted him with
"Kill the scab," and like sallies. He
put the catch on the door, and blew
the whistle to call the fireman, and
took a station at the window to watch
for his approach. When nt the end of
fifteen minutes the foreman did not
come, he blew three blasts, which wan
the hurry-up call for any and all ths
bosses, The crowd outblde had giown
to laigo pioportlons and now weie at
the side door, shouting- "Throw out the
scab!" "Kill the scab!" and the
like.
Murraine. Luddon explained, was
with him till the crowd began to glow
apparently dangerous, and then he be
gan to hedge, fearing he would get
the same treatment they Intended to
give Luddon. Murraine started to talk
to tho crowd tluough the partly open
w Indow and Luddon ordered hlni away.
Fiom that time on, Luddon was not
counting on Murraine. As Luddon put
It himself, "He was with me till we
got Into a pinch and then ho turned
on me." Murraine advised Luddon to
let Commlnlgan go, but Luddon le
p'.led, "No, I'd die first."
Lud Jon's story of the shooting was
brief. Just as he blew the last of tho
tin oo blasts, tho side door flew open,
and the ciovvd rushed In. He supposed
at least It was the crowd and that
they, knowing1 the three whistles would
btlng some of tho bosses. had deter
mined to wreak their vengeance on
him. while they might.
WAS POUNCED UPON.
Ho turned to face them, and as
ho did ho was pounced upon fioin
the front, while Murraine grabbed
him from tho back. Ho dUchaiged
his revolver twice In rapid suc
cession and was then felled to the
ground with a dub. While lying pros
tiatc some one placed the tovolver to
his hpad and tried to shoot him. The
bullet carried away a part of his eyo
btow. Another blow from a club ren
deted him unconscious, and he knew
nothing more till he woke up In the
county jail several days later. Mur
raine. he said, wus the most vicious of
his assailants.
Luddon positively denies that ho
heatd Rafferty or MeKcnnn call out
their names pr that )u told them to
come on. He knew both of them well
and wns very friendly with them. The
engine loom was so datk he could not
recognlzo them,
Ho was subjected to a t-carchlng
cross-examination by iMr. Thomas, but
kept well to his story. Ho denied pos.
itlvely that ho had made any threats
that day against anybody.
The dofeiiFO rested In tho morning,
after calling Mm, Raffeity, who tea
tllied that her husband hud told her
on the day after the shooting that lis
nnd McKenna called out their names
to Luddon nnd thut Luddon said,
"Conic on."
