was also shot. I wont out tho back of
UuMoll's house with three others and when I
got to tho railroad I took OH my shoo and
took the flattened bullet out of it. When
somebody said something about Oirerdvillo,
Uriggs came out of the car on a run,
Q. Who fired the first shot?
A. John llrlage.
Q. Do you know who shot .Tames t'arflt?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. WboT
A. John Ilriggs. At the same time I wa
wounded in the left heel, Parfit said some
thing when ho was shot, but I didn't hear
what it was. After the shot Maliony look

On cross examination by Mr. Ilrumm,

ltallerty stood betide l'arflt when the latter
whs shut. I was in tho Miners' Hospital
from August 22 to October 15. 18113, an ac
count of the the injuries lie received.
KLOBEOK MAIIUKV,
of Ollberton, swore: I was at tho sceno of
tho riot and went to tho dinkey. I went
over to whore Am nr was standing talking
with Garrett Keating and others. Keating
was advising Amour to take the things away.
told them that tho uioti in the car Bhnuld
be arrested and I got on the platform for the
purpose of encouraging the Chief llurgem to
arrest tho dinkey party and said if I was the
lilof Burgess I would arrest them all. Then I
got off the platform and stood about .1 or 1 feet
infront of tliedlukey.I stood watching Amour.
saw Amour, Weavlll and another party
from Uirardville standing on tho pUlfurm. I
saw Benny, tho motor man, iu the oar. Next
to me were soveral people. I couldn't see
who they were. I was watching Apiour
ight in the eyes. I didn't ongage in any
conversation at tho time. I hoard a conver
sion going on at tho time, but I couldn't
toll who it was. They were talking to
Amour. I only saw Weavlll on Iho car plat-
lorm with firoarms. I saw Briggi thero that
ight. I saw him coming outof the car with
the gun. J net before ho came out I board a
voice which I judged to be of a boy about 18
to 20 years of age, way back at tho church,
say "Whoro is tho Uirardville militia ?" and
Ilrlggs camo ruuniug out with his gun iu his
hand, put it over the railing of tho car and
said, "Here we are."' I don't remember
what oilier words ho mentioned, and tlicu ho
fired, at the saino time. I grabbed the gun
and we hustled fur it. I got the gun and
kept It iu uiy bauds for a whiio aud then
took it over to tho shop and examined it to
see what was in it. The shell fell upon the
floor. I afterwards took the gun over to
Foley's and kept tho aboil.
Tho witGvt Idontillid ouo of the rifles In
couitasthe one ho took from Uriggs. One
side of tho stock had upon it tbo letter "F"
and tho other side the figures "30."
Mabany continued: I did not say any
thing to liriggs when 1 reached for tho gun.
did not say any thing to him at any time,
don't remember ecoiug l'urllt auy time that
ight. I heard the railway people woro or
ganizing a lorce at Ashland to go to Gilbcr-
toit and relay tho tracks. I wai not coll
ected in any way with the tearing up or
laying down of the track, I wanted to see
them como up and lay the track and that
was what kept rue thero until the dinkey ar
rived, but I don't know why I wanted to see
tbcui do it. It is uOt true that when I hoard
they were coining I wanted to remain to help
resist tho relaying of the track.
Mr. lliurum: Maliany, did you grab
firings' gun before the ehot was tired, or after?
A. After.
Q. You are absolutely certain about that?
A. Yes, sir. It wae a few seconds after.
I buttled quite a. while with Uriggs and he
pulled me up on the bumper of the oar.
Then he let go. So far as I know there
was no preparation made by the peoplo of
Gllberton to resist iu caso tin attempt should
bo made to relay tho track that night and no
one sjKiko to mo about being prepared with
arms, or otherwise. I remained around Fo
ley's until 1 a. m. on August 22nd when I
was called to shave Holland, who had died.
Mr. Brumm read from tbo evidence taken
at tho Coroner's inquest iu which Mabony
swore, "I was searching for the gun just
about the time tho shot went off. I couldn't
say whothcr I had bold of the gun before tbo
ibot was fired, or not."
CJ Did you swear to that?
A. I don't think I did.
Q Makony, you swore In your examina
tion in chief that you didn't say anything to
Uriggs when you grabbed tho gun, now,
didn't you swoar before the Coroner's jury
that when you got hold of tho gun you called
Uriggs ?
A. Yes, sir ; I think I did and as my
recollection most have been better then than
now, that must bo true. I don't know
whether tho shot fired by Iirlggs struck
l'arflt. Just as Uriggs put the gun over tbe
rail of the car and before ho fired I grabbed
the gun about a foot or IB inches from the
lmuzlo. I had to grab tho best part of one
thiid of tho length of tho gun. I caught it
with my left hand. Notwithstanding I Bwore
twico that I called Uriggs a
when I grabbed tho gun I do not think now
that testimony was correct. Before closing
thlscross-oxaminatlou Mr. Brumm brought
out that a hole in one of the buildings on the
street where tho riot oocurred must have been
made by a shot towards tho dinkey.
BICIIARD AMOUK
Sworn: I am a detective by occupation and
at tbe time of the Gllberton riot I was in the
employ of the Schuylkill Traction Company
as a special officer and collector of advertise
ments for the company's cars. I reached
Gllberton on tho dinkey at about 10:30 p.m.
that night. I started from Shenandoah and
went to the power station at Rappahannock,
aud then went up to Gllberton. I also went
to Girardvllle. i first saw John Uriggs at
the Palace restaurant, in Girardvllle, kept by
a young man named William Lloyd. That
was at about 0 o'clock. When I first wont
into tho restaurant Briggs was not
there, but when I asked for him
he was sent for. When ho came
I told him I had received orders In regard to
the tearing up of tbe track. In fact I had
sjioken to him on tho same subject two weeks
before that day, aa threats had been made to
tear up the tracks then. That night (Au
gust 21st i, I told him I could not get the men
I had picked, as they were busy, and I asked
htm to go along. I told him wo would have
to do guard duty until the company could got
tho sheriff to tako charge I also asked him
If lie had a rlllo. Ho said yea, and I told him
to bring it along, llo wont away aud brought
another man, I think his name Is Brown,
and said ho was a good young man If I needed
any more and I said, "Tako him along if you
can vouch for Mm being a good, steady man.
He said he could vouch for blra. Mr. Uriggs
also said Weavlll was a good man and I told
Briggs ho could go along, too. Briggs said
Weavlll bolouged to tbo samo oornpany as ho
did and ho know him personally. Tho
dinkey had meantime gone on to Holmesville
to get some of tho rcpalrmou. I also went to
a hardware store to get sonio cartridges for
tho rifles. I had previously got some, but
they wcro tho wrong size I went to the
storo and left Briggs, Brown and Weavlll In
front of tho restaurant. After that wo all
went to the power station and loaded up the
repairmen with tho tools. Then we went to
Gllberton. When wo got there wo found
qulto a mob. Tho streets wero crowded. I
couldn't tell whether tho track was torn up
or not. Tho mob was so great I couldn't wo.
Q. Up to that point what, had you dono
with tho cartridge? ?
A. I loaded our Winchesters.
(2, What did Briggs do with his?
A. I don't know.
Q. Do you know bis own gun ?
A. YfS.
Amour identified a gun marked "F" and
"30" prodtio ! by Mr. Wadlinger as tho one
Briggs had that night.
Amour then continued : When I saw the
crowd there I turned to tho men in tbe car
and told them under no condition to attempt
to shoot until 1 said so, even if I was shot.
Almost as quick as the dinkey stopped I saw
Mr. Reynolds, the Chief Burgess, Mr. Stone
and several others that I know. I oalled on
them, In tho name of tho Commonwealth, to
help me maintain tho peace and help lay the
track. Mr. Koynolds said, "Dick, that won't
work to-night. This ain't Homestead.
Everybody was talking and I can't say what
the others said. I talked to Mr. Reynolds
and ho came up to tho oar. lie said, "Dick
you can t lay that track to-night. We have
been waiting for you two hours." I said
"John, I sco it." Thero were a good many
men there intoxicated. Quite a number
drew revolvers. Reynolds and i mo shook
hands. I Bald, "John, wo liavo been
friends tor many years and wo
will bo many more. This is
no personal fight." Ho said, "No, but you
can't oome hem and lay that track with all
your hHiids We aro too many for you. You
can't lay that truck to-night. I said, "I see
that, hut wo will wait to see if auy of the
bosses como up in tho noxt car and perhaps
they can manage tho matter with the Coun
cil." Whiio wo wero having this convorsa
tlon Keating came and said said, "Dirk, I wai
opposed to tearing up the truck, but now that
it is up I am opposed to it bolng put down
again until thoy comply with the law.'
talked with Keating a few minutes arl wo
shook hands, lhcn ho walked towards his
house. Thero was qulto a loud hollering
about Homestead which I took no not ice of and
I walked on the north side of tho eRtern cud
of tho platform. I stepped down on tho step
Of tho car and I talked with some peoplo.
Ono young man said, "you ought to bo ar
rested because you aro blocking up the
street." I looked up and at tbe cross street
and said, "that is so;" and I turned to the mo
tor man n carotid sald,"Run)abovo the crossing,
we are blocking a part of the street," aud we
run the car back. I was standing on tho
step of tho oar with my back towards the
oentor of tho oar whon I heard some one say,
"Where Is the Girardvillo militia now?"
had to get back from an awkward step about
ID Inches high as I got around and got on tho
platform with my face to the out I saw Mahouy
struggling with Briggs with a gun. I
hollered, "Leave go I Tako that" I wanted
to say "Tako that gun back," but before I
could say "gun back" tho gun went off.
Mahony kind of fell back, and put his hand
to his side. Just then I noticed a man step
up osldo Mahony aud ho put his hand
through the front of the oar and shot mo
here (pointing to bis right breast). Tho 6hot
cuu.cd mo to fall back against tho sido of tho
car door, and as I did the man again shot me
here (pointing to his right thigh). It was
not 30 seconds after tho struggle with tho
guns. Tho same man shot mo twice. I went
to tbo west end of tho car and found no ono
thero. In going through tho car I passed
a man named Johu Sweeny, I think, one o
the rcpairsmen. I came hack and tried to
sit down on a seat in the oar, but as I did so
I fell off tho seat and 1 rolled from thero on
to tho floor with my head to the east and my
feet to tho wost. I laid tberesome 30 seconds,
as near as I can form any opinion, aud there
was no ouo else on tho oar then. A man
oamo on the car, got hold of my leg and
pulled me; then ho picked up one of tho
guus. I cannot swear which gun or to tho
identity of the man. Immediately after
was shot a sensation caino over me aa if thero
was a dark red light before my eyes and that
made it impossible for me
distinguish tmngs clearly. He was
tall man and dressed dark. He
laid on his elbow and sat on the seat with
a gun he had picked up off the seat pointed
through tho west window on tho south Bide
of tho dlnkoy. Ho fired moro than once,
His foot was against my stomach. The gun
must have recoiled for hia foot pressed against
my breast with so much force that it forced
the blood cut of tho wound and made mo
holler. He then stooped down aud tried to
tako my watch and chain which I have on
now. I throw my arm over aud gave
groan. He quickly Jumped up aud Uollerod
out of tho south side of the oar "lei
lows, Amour tho ie lying hero
shot. Wo ought to hang him lyooh
him." I thought then if thoy did
come it was time for me to try and defend
myself audi tried to get my band down to
got my rovolver, but I found my right arm
wm useless. Then I fainted. I remembered
Mr. Foley asking me wbre I wm shot and
ho could do anything for me. I askad him
for a drink of water. He then asked me
he should take charge of tho guns and I bo-
llovo I said "yea." Anyhow ho brought mo
water and a pillow which ho put undor my
brad, and I know nothing after that until
thoy woro taking mo out of tho dlnkoy at
Shenandoah, to tako mo homo. I know
nothing thou until tho noxt day. From tho
tlmo wo stopped tho dinkey at the end of tho
road up to tho shooting was from 15 to 20
minutes. I won't swoar positively to that.
told Mr, Roynolds I oxpocted a lawyer and
ono of tho directors of the company tocorao
p and if wo could make arrangements with
tho Council then tho mon woro to repair tho
track. They didn't como up to tho tlmo I
was shot. I never oxpoctod any troublo at
all.
Q. During that time what was tho position
f your armed mon ?
A. They woro insido the car, I suppose,
whero I ordorod them. Briggs, I guess, bad
charge of tho wosteru door. I to'd him to
tako charge of it.
Q. Was Briggs out at all before the
struggle?
A. No,Blr.
Q. How did you have your gun ?
A. My gun was a Sharp's rlllo. I had It
standing alongside of mo. Whon tho oar
toppea, or was about stopping, and as I was
talking to tho Councilmcn, the thought
struck mo that tho car was short circuited.
Anybody might think I pointed tho gun to
them, but I did not. I simply throw tho gun
forward. The motion is exactly tho same,
but I throw tho cartridge out of my gun as I
thought that if tho gun was touched by any
lectrlcity from tho oar it might go off and
shoot me. I did not intend to cover any-
ody.
(J. Was there anybody else close at that
time, at that end ?
A. No, sir. Only those in tho car, that I
w.
(. At the tlmo you drew, that cartridge
out, was it loaded?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What becanio of it?
A. A young man, ono of the repairmen,
Csufield I think his name is, ho lives at
Homosvillo, picked it up. Tho gun was put
back and I shook hands with Reynolds
Q. Iu taking out the cartridgodid it make
click?
A. Yos, sir.
Q. In whoso hands did the first eho't come
from, do you know?
A. Iu the strugglo between Mahauy and
Briggs. Thoro was no shooting boforo that.
Q. Can you toll how many shots went off?
A. I cannot estimate I have boon in a
good many fights in tho last eighteen years
on military and police duty but this w.n tho
liveliest I have ever seen. I thought the
olectric lights inside turned rale with the
flashes of tho revolvers outside. After I fell
u tbe dinkey the crowd outsldo was shout
ing hang him. Thore wero rocks and shots
sent through tho windows of tho car. Somo
of the rocks struck mo In the stomach and
mado the blood spurt out of tho wound in
my chest.
Q. What became of Briggs?
A. Just as uick as his gun went off I was
shot. After 1 got tho second shot I fell in
tho car and got up and walked to the other
end.
Q. Whcro did your men get their ammu
nition?
A. I don't know whcro Briggs and Brown
got thclr's. I didn't supply them.
(J. Did you hear Briggs Eay anything
when ho caino out whera you taw the
struggle take place ?
A. They hollered about "Whore is tbo
Uirardville militia now?" I can't Bay who,
but some ono said, "Here wo are, what do
you want with them?" and that caused me
to turn around, and thon I saw the strugglo.
Q. Did you glvo any ordors to Briggs to
leave hie position?
A No, sir; I don't know how he como to
got there.
Q. Did you, about the tlmo of the shoot
ing, hear anybody say 1
A.- Yos, sir; I heard it right in front of tho
car, but I can't tell who it was. I didn't hear
Briggs say it.
Q. When you left Keating you had agreed
to go home ?
A. "Yes, sir; but wo couldn't loavc until
tho regular passenger car caino up and emptied
its passengers and went back. It was a single
track. Uaggcrty, I don't know his first name,
camo into the car after I was shot and I told
him I wanted to soo tho Chief Burgess and
asked him to get mo a drink of water,
don't know Jacob Frantz. I didn't see Jacob
Gillcspio at all and recollect having had any
conversation with him. Wo went to tho place
to prevent the track from being torn up and
to arrest anybody who attempted it. Wo
wont by orders of Capt. Bailey, president of
the company, received that afternoon at about
supper time. Tho track was torn up when
we got. thero. I had six men beside tho re
pairmen John Briggs, Arthur Wcavill,
Wrenu Brown, Edward Foley, David Williams
and William Doolcy. I don't kuowjust tho
arms of Uriggs or Wcavill, and Foley I wan tod
for special duty to find out who was engaged
in tearing up tho track. We had soven firo
arms on board two Springflelds, oneSpencor,
three Winchesters and one Sharp rifle.
CB048 KXA.MINATIOX.
When I was taken to Shenandoah two doc
tors examined mo. I didn't know anything
of It. I was unconscious until the noxt day,
Dr. Hamilton did the probing then and there
wero seven doctors.
By Mr. Ilrumm. Didn't the doctors tell
you you hod a slim chance for recovery?
Objected to.
Uy Mr. 'Brumm: We wish to show that
while in tbe fear of death this witness mode
a statement that was taken down and in tho
face of the .dissolution that was feared there
could bo no possible motive or interest in tbe
witness not telling the whole and exact truth.
It Is for the purpose of showing that tho
statement thus mado in tho material parts is
almost, if not exactly, the same as he has
made on tho witness stand. This is because
tbe testimony now given by him conflicts
with other testimony that the Commonwealth
has introduced, for the purpose of enabling
tbo Jury tho bettor opportunity to decide;
which of those witnesses have told the most
correct and most truthful Btory.
Mr. Whltahousos Tho .Commonwealth has
nothing to say,
Amour thou answered; I mode statement
In tho prcsonco of my brother, MIno Inspector
Stoin, Minister Proude and ex-Chief Burgosa
Smith.
In compllanco with a request to describe
the strugglo between Mahony and Briggs,
Amour said Mahony had hold of tho first
band of tho gun with his loft hand, his olbow
towards tho muzzlo and his right hand undor
Briggs' right hand at tho rear of tho hammor.
Briggs had a grip on tho stock with his left
hand. Thoy wcro pulling in opposlto direc
tions. Amour also ald he was confined to his bed
nine weeks by his wouuds. Four shots woro
fired nt him. One in tho breast, ono in tho
thigh, ono mado a load mark across his vest
anil went through his coat, and ono passed
through tho slcovo of the coat and passed out
of tho second button of tho sleeve.

Potthvillk, Jan. 0. This morning ses
sion opened with Thomas Kafferty, of Gil
borton, on tho stand. R-ifferty testified: I
was present on the night tho difficulty took
placo. I heard an uproar on Main street and
ifter eating ray supper I went up there, but
did not tako any parMn tho tearing up of tho
track. I was no official of the borough. I
saw Amour thoro that night. As quick as bo
oamo ho ordered the mon out of tho car to
lay down tho track and put his gun to his
shouldor and cocked it. The other man was
standing on tho north sido of tho door. Ho
walked to tho front and put his gun to his
shoulder. I didn't know him at that time.
but 1 have soon tho man sinco and I see him
now
Upon request of the counsel for tho Com
monwealth Rallerty left tho witness stand
and placing his hand upon Briggs' tight
shoulder said, "this is tbo man." Whon the
dur arrived these two men came to tho front
of the our and Amour put his gun to his
shoulder and ordered all people not Interest
od in tho road off tho Btreet, or ho would
hoot Ho then ordered tho men out to work.
The Councllmen told Amour it was no use
that they could not lay that track that night.
Amour called for Superintendent Jones who
camo from tho other car. Jones camo and
Amour Bald, "Jonos, we can do nothing hero
to-night. "Tho crowd is too big." Jonos went
back to tho other car and wont away. Amour
went Into tho oar, lit a cigar and camo out to
the platform. Amour spoke to tho Councilman
again and shook hands with ono or two oi
them and said they would bo friends. Some
ouo In the back hollered for the Homesteads
or a militia. Somo boys hollered. I don't
know who thoy wcro. Briggi camo out and
put his gun down over tho rail of tho car aud
said "Hero wo arc, you , tako that."
rben ho fired. As quick as tho shot was
fired tbo flush pasted over uy feet. Parfit
turned and said I am shot and he crawled
away. 1 looked at mm and whon I looked
up again I saw Mahouy and Briggs struggling
with the gun. After everything was quiet I
saw Amour lying in tho dlnkoy. Every man
in tho East ward of Gllberton was excited
aud wanted to tako rovengo for tho men that
were shot for no oause. Some thought they
should chop up Amour; that they should hang
him; that ho deserved it; it was his fault for
bringing tho men to shoot down peaceable citi
zensof the East ward of Gllberton, but Amour
Was taken away uninjured besides tho shots.
Thero wero no cries of chopping or hanging
before Briggs shot. I don't know what bo
camo of Briggs after tho shooting.
CKObS EXAMIXATIOS'
I have lived in Gllberton over 30 years. I got
to tbo place when they wero tearing up tho
tracks at about dusk and I Btayed there until
11 o'clock. Somo motor men said tbe trucks
would be laid thero again and I stopped with
tho crowd until tho dinkey would como bo
cause I thought thero would bo a squabble be
tween tho Councilmcn and tho men wl.o
w uld como in tbo dinkey. To havo some
lur, if thero was anything going on. I am
sixty years of ago and havo a family and
havo grand children, but I stopped to soo tho
fun of tho squabble I didn't drink any
thing and saw no ono under tho iufiuenro of
drink. I heard no threats and stw no ono
outside of the dinkey with any Unarms. Af
tor tho shooting was over I saw Frantz with
a gun. I didn't sco a shot or a flash except
what came from tho dinky. I couldn't say
that I heard any shots besides them. I taw
after the fight thattho windows of thodiukoy
were broken. I heard tho glass crash. I was
not tho least excited by Briggs' shooting, but
when two men camo out of the dinky and fired
I got a littlo excited and got out of tho way,
I walked backwards, south, from the dlnkoy,
keeping my eyes on tho dinkey. When
got there I was safe. They would havo to
shoot through tho corner of tho house to hit
me, but I reached ray head out aud watched
it. I was Bouth of tho south corner of the
building and tho car was eighteen inches
oast of that corner. When Parfit was shot ho
stood right behind me, his right shoulder
bolng against my loft shoulder, both facing
the dinkey.
This did not conform with ono of the
photographs produced, which showed a figure
to represent l'arflt standing in front of
Rafl'crty, although lUfferty admitted he
arranged the group when tho photograph was
taken. A mistake was made in tho arrange
ment, Parfit should havo been standing a
littlo behind Rafferty's shoulder. Parfit was
standing about two or two and a half feet
from Briggs' gun whon it was fired. I only
know Jones was at tho scene by heariug
Amour call him. I didn't know the man
and don't think I would know him now,
Tho car Jonos camo from was west of the
dinkey, but they wero close together.
Amour was on the east platform of the car,
Jones sold nothing, but turned back.
Q. Do you swear that Amour, standing on
thet platform of the dinkey spoke to a man
in the oar that was wost of the dinkey.
A. Yes, sir. Thero was laughlug in
the crowd before the shooting and
I laughed with the crowd. When
Amour threatened to shoot in the
crowd, did not move. Wo didn't Jeer and
howl or use abusive language that I know of,
I laughed at the Idea of them coming with
guns to Uy the road, I am positive that
Briggs said whon lie shoutod, "Here wo aro,
you , take that," My recollection
was better at tho Coroner's inquest than It is
I now.
I Q, Did yon swear before the - coroner's
jury 'And this follow ran out of tho car and
I was standing within six foot of him, I
should Judge, and l'arflt-young l'arflt was
standing right along sido and was about tho
width of himself in front of mo, and ho
(Briggs) said, 'Hero I am,' and I couldn't
xactly say whether ho said
or what ho slid, but 'Hero wo arc,' ho says
and lot go.' Did jou swear to that?
A. 1 now swear that I didn't like to say
nt the coroner's Inquest. I
didn't think It proper to uco such lauguage.
Q But you did use it.
A. Did I? I didn't swear as you havo
road to mo. I also used tho words "tako
that."
Rafforty continued: Whon I said tho
peoplo wanted rovengo all I moant was that
they wanted the men who fired the shots
arrested. That is all I heard them shout, I am
cortaln of that. Somo partlos did eay whon
Amour was lying In tho car that they wanted
to chop up and hang the mon who did tho
shooting Yos, they did want to chop up and
hang Amour, As near as I could judgo tho
muzzle of Briggs' gun was no more than two
feet from Parfit. I am sure Parfit was closer
to the gun than I was. He was behind mo
but ho was nearer tho dinkey than I was. No,
ho was not standing behind. He was stand-
ng besldo mo. I didn't say wo both faced tho
dinkey. Yos, I kept my eyes on the dinkey
all the tlmo. I had no firearms that night
and novcr owned a gun. I didn't shoo
Briggs. When I saw Mabany and Briggs
truggllng with tho gun I turned my head to
look for Parfit and when I turned my bead
gain they wero gono and two men woro on
the platform with guns. I didn't see whero
Mabany or Briggs went. I didn't soo Mabany
on tho bumper of the car.
As a perusal of the evidence abovo given
will how Rafl'erty's testimony was of a very
conflicting character. At times tho witness
beoamo snappy in his answers to Mr, Biumm,
A. Wonderful Kaniedr.
