On Thursday morning tbe firt witness
In tbs greatest trial the world ha, ever
known took tbn stand at Wilkesbarre
Previous to this Attorney McGahren
delivered the opening address on behalf
of the murdered and wounded miners,
and an able and eloquent presentation
of tha ease it was. The attorney re
citad the facts and promised to show b\
competent witnesses that the shooting
was a disgrace t.o civilization; that thi
marchers were attacked by tbe deputies
In Wast Hazleton. whore one striker's
arm was broken by a blow from a thug's
gun; that the deputies lined up on Latti
mer road In a form calculated to do thr
most deadly execution; that before the
strikers readied Lattimer the deputies,
showed their eagerness to kill; that tin
sheriff was In no danger wbso the tiring
began; that the lirst mail to fall was he
who carried the American flag; that
after the slaughter the murderers boast,
ed of how many they killed and disputed
as to who sent the most men to the
ground; that five minutes after the first
volley strikers who were running from
the terrible scene were deliberately
picked off a hundred yards away, and
that malice and hatred actuated the
murders. After promising to prove
these things, Attorney Mctiahreu ex
plained to the jurymen their duty. Ht
said: "There are two indictments, mur
der and felonious wounding. Von mav
find them guilty of murder or nian
slaoghtar. or you may find some guilty
of murder first degree, others guilty of
murder second degree or manslaughter,
and you may acquit others if you find
nothing against them."
Andrew Civar. of Harwood. was the
first witness. He told a straightforward
story of the affair. lie was with th<-
marchers before they started and was
with them to their graves. His testi
mony showed that the Lattirner men
came to the meeting of the Unired Mine
Workers at Harwood on Thursday night
and asked the Harwood miners to come
over next day, and when the latter
neared the colliery tha Lattimar men
would strike. He told how this plan
was agreed upon and how every man
was warned at the meeting to carry no
weapon or club, to disturb no person
and to molest no property. He describ
ed the details of the murder and told
how he escaped death by dropping after
being shot in the side. He sworo the
sheriff snapped his revolver at. one of
the front men two or three times. His
testimony consumed three hours ant)
was given in an earnest and convincing
manner, and on cross-examination bis
evidence could not he shaken hy Attor
ney Lenahan, who is engaged to defend
the deputies.
Joseph Mulhala was the next, witness,
and his story corroborated that told bv
Clvar. He is president of the Harwood
branch of tbe Mine Workers and told ot
the orders he had issued to the men to
carry no weapons and harm no propertv.
Harry Dryfoos, Jr., of Hazleton, show
ed photographs taken at the bloody
scene after the shooting. He was fol
lowed by Uev. Father Aust, a Catholic
priest of Hazleton. who saw the dead
and Injured and assisted to relieve the
latter.
The next witness was Rev. Carl
Houser, of Freeland, pastor of St. Peter
and Paul's Lutheran Slavish church.
Ha told how he had viewed the bodies of
eleven strikers, laid on the floor of tbe
stable which was used as a temporary
morgue. Michael Ceslik was a trustee
of hit church, and three of the dead had
bnen in his flock. He had seen three
bullet holes in the side of Coslik's head
and another through his body.
When court adjourned for the day one
of the most important witnesses of the
trial was on the stand. He was Charles
Guscott, a school teacher at Lattimer,
who from his position at a window of
his sqhool saw tho preparations made by
the deputies to give the marchers a re
ception of leaden hail. His version of
the shooting corresponded in every par
ticular with that sworn to hy the men in
the ranks.
Mr. Guscott took tha stand again on
Friday morning. Upon request lie iden
tified about a dozen of the prisoners who
had guns in tlioir hands after the mas
sacre. He assisted in caring for the in
jured.
Miss Grace Coyle. also a school toacli
er at Lattimer, followed. Her testi
mony was practically tho same as Mr.
Gascon's. She sworo to having soon
men running from tho scene and drop
ping when quite a distance away. She
also assisted in relieving the wounded
and upbraided several of tho deputies
for their Inhuman work. She told them
"to go to t'nha. where butchers were in
demand." She is the only woman who
saw the murder of the strikers and all
tho talent, trickery and threatening of 1
the great Lenahan was unable to shake
her truthful story.
Dr. Keller, lain ol the Ilazlutnn
hospital, testified tu the nature of tho

wounds of ths injured, of which the fol
lowing is a summary showing the direc

Rav. li. F. Stofflet, pastor of Hazleton
Reformed church, met the strikers on
their way to Lattimer. They were
marching peaceably, without noise or
demonstration, and had no weapons thai
ho could sno. An American flag was
carried at the head of the column.
The last witness of the day was An
drew F. Adams, a commercial traveler,
of Glen Falls. N. Y. Ho jvas in a car
going to Lattimer, when twenty or
twontv-five deputies armed with rifles
boarded it. He hoard a conversation
among thorn, but here his testimony was
stopped. The attorneys began to argue
the question of the admissibility of such
evidence. Mr. Scarlett, for the prose
cution. made a brilliant ploa that the
utterance of one or more members of a
posse, band or mubon trial for a specific
crime should bo admitted, without sepa
rate identification.
The commonwealth said they would
prove by tbe witness that one deputr
said on tiie car: "Why did the sheriff
not give us a chance to shoot at Hazle
ton?" Another replied: "This would
be a good place to mow them down."
It was a inattarof fact that this body
of men boardiog the car armed with
rifles was a part of the band of deputies.
Ex-Attorney General Palmer, for tbe
defense, argued that the defendant must
be proved to be such, and fixed by name
or recognition. Judge Wood ward sus
tained the objection and refused to
adaiit Mr. Adams' testimony.
The fifth day of the trial. Saturday,
began by calling to tho stand Michael
Nicholson, who rode on the electric ear
with the deputies from Hazleton to Far
ley's hotel. He arrived on Hie scene of
the shunting about five minute, after it
occurred. He heard Joe Costello say to
Deputy Hess; "It is scandal to do such
a thing to human beisijs," and Hess
raised his gun and said, "Shut up, or I
will do the same to you."
John Eagler, one of the strikers, re
peated the details which took place be
fore, during and after tho shooting. He
saved himself by lying 011 the ground
until the deputies had emptied their
guns.
As court was about to adjourn for the
day, District Attorney Martin called
for the commitment to jail of tbe mur
derers or else that tlioir bail be renewed
immediately. He said; "At the No
vember session tha bail In this case
should have been forfeited. It was not
done. These defendants are here now
without bail and I ask that the bail be
teeewed at once or the defendants com
mitted,''
The attorneys (or the defense objected
to this. Attorney McGahren, for the
prosecution, protested against allowing
their social standing to have any weight
in the question, but Judge Woodward
decided that ball could be renewed this
morning.
Tbe arguments 011 this point led to a
very disgraceful scene in the court room
enacted while the court was still In ses
sion.
Attorneys Lenahan and Garman were
disputing the matter w hen the former,
who bears the ex-district attorney con
siderable ill-will for having superseded
him as the representative of Luzeroe
Democracy in national and state coun
cils of the party, used language which
astounded all present and which was the
most disgraceful ever heard 111 Luzerne's
courts. Garman replied to the deputies'
defender with words similar to his own,
and both were about to meet in a fistic
encounter in open court when mutual
friends interposed.
The sheriff and deputies are la court
every day. Tho county officer Is tho
only man who seems to realize the
enormity of tho crime. He appears
careworn and worried, and many pity
him for allowing himself to be made a
tool of by the coal corporations of lower
Luzerno.
With tho deputies, however. It is dif
ferent. They are fair representatives
of that strata of society which looks
upon all beings benoath it as so many
creatures who are specially designed
and born to provide them with food and
pleasure, devoid of rights and privileges
tinder the law. and witli whom they
may do as their fancy suggests—even
kill them as tlioy did.
They sit in the court room like a lot of
chattering chappies, idiotical smiles
gracing their countenances as sonic
horrible detail of their brutality is sworn
to. When tho proceedings lag and
become listless, while their attorneys
haggle and wrangle over points of law,
they look bored and assume an air of
indifference.
Their general demeanor goes to affirm
the prevailing supposition that tlioir
faces will never bo seen behind prison
bars. While a dollar remains in plutocrat
ic coffers it will bo spent to defend these
men, for upon their eouviction or ac
quittal hinges future decisions of the
question of property rights vs. individual
rights. Tho former were by force
decided superior at Lattimer; to clinch
tliis claim by law is now the aim of
those who are back of the defendants,
FOSTER'S TROUBLES.
Political Contest Decided iu Paver of the
Richard*' Wing.
The objections filed against allowing
the use of th# Republican column of the
official ballot by the candidates named
at the second convention held by the
Republicans of Foster township were
aired in court on Saturday. Judges
Bennett and Lynch were ou the bench
and the decision of the court was render
ed by the first named, who sustained the
objections.
The objections to the Wood ring-Lesser
ticket, which was the first, ticket filed
in the commissioners' office, wera made
by the Richards-Hoyle wing of the
party. It was alleged that the dele
gates who named the candidates on thai
ticket were seeeders from the regular
Republican convention, and therefore
their nominees were not entitled to be
considered the candidates of the party.
Considerable testimony was heard by
the court, the case occupying two and
one-half hours. The regularity of the
Richards convention was proven, and
the irregularity of the second conven
tion was also shown, as the delegates in
the second withdraw and organized
another, instead of remaining in the
first convention and appealing from the
decisions of the chair and continuing to
do so until some parlimentary or party
rule was violated. As the first conven
tion did not overstep its limits, the
action af the Woodring-Lessor delegates
in withdrawing debarred them from ail
claims to regularity.
Attorneys John M. Can* and E. F.
McGovern handled the case for Mr.
Richards and his friends, while Lawyer
G. A. Ilalsey looked after the Interests
of the Lesser people. After the irregu
larity of the second convention was
proven, Mr. Carr called the attention of
the court to the fact that there were no
objections on record to the ticket named
by the first convention. This was found
to bo correct, and the decision of the
judges was immediately given in favor
of the Richards ticket-
It is understood that nomination
papers had previously been filed by a 1
the candidates named by the second
convention, and that throe full tickets
will bo on the ballot.

Firebug* Dura Public .Schools.
The people of Minors 1 Mills were
much excited on Thursday over an
attempt to burn their two public school
buildings. The upper district building
is situatsd on the hill overlooking the
town, and it was in this building that
lire first broke out. The local fir# com
pany responded very promptly to the
alarm. While they were lighting the fire
another alarm was sounded, fire having
been discovered in the lower district
building, over a half mile distance from
the other. The lire company by this time
had the first fire under control, and
before they hastened to the second build
ing they made sure tliey bad the fire
about subdued in the first. They then
hurried to the other burning building,
wlier# they extinguished the flames
before much damage was done.
The lower district school hous# con
tained the school library, which hat long
been th# bone of contention and litigation
in that borough, and for which the
Miners' Mills school board expended in
the neighborhood of 81,000. which sum a
number of citizens think exhorbltant,and
consequently brought suit against the
board. It is believed that this library
is the prime cause of the fires.

med up in the following paragraphs,
taken from the Wilkesborre NeietdeaUr:
On the side of the prosecution com
ment of the street is as follows:
First—That th# complexion of the

the side of the defendants.
Second—That with the firm of Wood
