Wo talked there for a while and Garrett Keating eamo out and stood beside me. Ho said he was against tho tearing up of the track, but as they eamo with guns he would stand by tho borough and the action of the Council. Wo had quite a long conversa tion and Amour and the othor man put tho guns back in the car. Q. What was tho position in which the guns weie held at tho time the conversation was going on ? A. As near as I can recollect they were held at an angle over us. The guns were not pointed directly at ua. Stone had testified that the guns of Btlggs and Amour covered him and Reynolds. Ileynolds further testified, Amour then came out on the platform and aftr quite a conversation he admitted that thoy couldn't do anything there that night; that they would go home and ho would notify 1 Before the Celebrated Dr. Harvey Moore Leaves.

The illus trious had intended closing his otttce this week but to accommodate many from tho surrounding cities and villages who have been unablo to consult him and are con stantly writing, asking him to extend his tho stay, has decided to remain here until Jan 10. Many have thought and hoped ho might bo induced to visit Ashland or Maha noy City, but having Important engagements ahead makes that entirely imiwsslble. So those desiring to consult this eminent specialist must como here heforo the dato announced, and the quicker tho bettor, for fell. When I left the hotel I mot ono man going In the hotel with n gun.

The son resumed bis seat and the old-time calm expression which has covered his countenance while in court sinco tho beginning of tho trial reappeared. Tho mother retired to sat noar tho railing and almost directly behind tho son. Shodrow out a haudker rlii-.f and hurriedly applied it to each eye, Then sho settled herself down to listen to the trial. During tho scene Mr. Iirlggs, Sr., was almost wholly Impassive. When the mother first kissed her son he turned his face slightly toward them, but tho noxt moment his eyes wcro again ri piled upon tho Judge's bench. Upon his continued ro crosj examination Stone tostlfied that ho could not identify tho gun Briggs usod when ho fired. I. have seen tho gun sinco in Foley's hotel and my knowledge of it is based upon what I havo seen sinco tho riot. Two Springfiold guns wore produced, but the witness could not identify them. Tho other guns wero produced with like result, Thero was no shot fired prior to the 0110 fired by Briggs. Other shots fired in rapid succession, but Parflt dropped before tho second shot was flred. Stone said his memory was so bad ho wouldn't bo posltlvo aa to what ho swore to heforo the coroner's jury as to tho distance Parflt was from tho dlukoy whon Briggs fired tho shot. John F. Reynolds, of Malianoy Plinc, was the third witness called for tho Commonwealth. He testified that ho is tho president of tho Gilberton Borouch Counoll and held the ofllce at the time of the riot. On the night of August 31 1803. he was in East Gilberton. Ho went there at about 4 o'clock In tho afternoon and lomainod there until the whole of that evening. Ho loft there after mldulght. He was thero when tho dinkey arrlvod. That was about 10.30 o'clock. Tho oar stopped where tho track was torn up. Reynolds stood In frout of the ear when It stopped.iSomeono said, "Tho dinkey Is coming and they aro coming with arms." When the oar stopjied, said Reynolds, I noticed two men standing out In front of tho oar, thoy wore Richard Amour, and I don't know who tho other was. They carried guns. When the oar stopped Mr. Amour spoko and called, as near as I can recollect, Mr. Reynolds, and Mr. Stone and tho Chief Burgess to help him get tho crowd away aud proteofc them in relaylug the track I told Mr. Amour that I, for one, would re, fuse to act, or help him: that before that track could be relaid the street would have to be put in proper condition. Amour than said, "I command all t res pasters, or all people 8tandlug lu frout where this tnwk is torn up, to leave," aud at tho time tho gun was raised sclentluus gentleman.
