HEARING THE DEFENSE.
ATTORNEY FERRIS CLAIMS THAT THE
DEPUTIES WERE JUSTIFIED.
I'ronocutlon In tlie Martin Trial Closed
on Montluy and the Witnesses for the
Oilier Side Are Giving Their Version
of the Adair.
The witnesses for the defense are now
being heard in the trial of Sheriff Mar
tin and Ids deputies. On Monday morn
ing two men gave testimony for tin
commonwealth, after which the prose
cution rested its case. One of these
was James Ilcnahan, of Scranton, who
was on tlie scene immediately after the
shooting. lie identified several of tin
deputies and told of a conversation he
held with Deputy Samuel Price, The
latter expressed his regret for the affair
and said he was glad In l , did not shoot.
Tito other witness was Dottier Dem
shick, of Hazleton. who took the stand
to deny that his driver had been taken
from his wagon and pressed into the
ranks of the strikers, as alleged by the
defense.
The most important feature of the
trial this week was the ruling of Judge
Woodward, given when the defense
opened, which admits any evidence
tending to show that rioting and dis
order prevailed in the region before tin
day of the shooting. On a somewhat
similar question earlier in the trial tin
judge had ruled the opposite. His ac
tions, however, no longer cause surprise.
The opening address was made by At
torney George Ferris, Sheriff Martin's
private counsel, and the orator gave
free rein to his vivid imagination in
describing the condition of affairs in
this region previous to the massacre.
Among other tilings said to justify tin-
Lattiuier murders Mr. Ferris orated as
follows:
"Wo shall show you that during the
week prior to the Lattinier shooting acts
of riot and outrage were of more than
daily occurence. The regln of law iiad
given place to a reign of terror. Tin
highways were swept by surging masses
of armed and desperate men. Peaceful
citizens were forced Into their ranks.
Those who resisted were set upon,
beaten, clubbed and wounded—some of
them nigli unto death. Those who fled
from the fury of the mob were pursued,
stoned and fired upon. The sanctity of
the home was violated. Dwelling houses
were broken into and men dragged out
or forced to line t.o the woods for their
lives. Women were assaulted and
threatened with death. Robbery was
committed. Buildings were attacked
and windows smashed with stones, and
collieries taken by storm. Men were
driven from their work. The local au
thorities were powerless, and law had
been supplanted by anarchy.
"Sheriff Martin lias telegraphed to the
sheriffs of Carbon and Schuylkill coun
ties in which like depredation has
occurred, to meet liitu in Hazleton.
They did so. The three sheriffs pub
lished their proclamations, together
with the law relating to riots. These
proclamations called upon all people to
keep the peace and refrain from ail acts
of violence and lawlessness.
"On the same evening Sheriff Martin
selected his posse, lie did not choose
loafers, bar-room bummers, toughs and
thugs, but good, law abiding cit zeus,
men of good judgment, good character,
good standing in the community.
"When the crowd started for Lattinier
on September 10 Its members were armed
with clubs, iron bolts, bars and revolvers.
They freely announced their purpose to
bo to stop the works. They were
warned not to go there, as bullets might
be Hying. "The reply was: 'We no
'fraid. We got bullets, too.'
"Then, after being dispersed, the
strikers reorganized and, going around
Hazleton, resumed their march to Latti
nier. Their approach was heralded and
the inhabitants lied in terror. The
schools were dismissed. Boarding two
trolley cars, the sheriff and his posse
went to Lattinier and lined up along the
road. There were throe men behind
them, two were John Welsh and George
Yeagcr. As the strikers approached
Lattinier Mr. Martin ordered them to
halt, which some in the front ranks did
for a inotilent, those behind the sheriff
closing up, some crowding upon him,
others passing by and closing in behind
them.
"ll' l asked tlinin where they were
(filing, und several voices si ted hack.
'We are going to Lattimer to stop tho
mines.' The sheriff told them, as ho
had at West Ilazloton, that tlioy should
not do tills, but must disperse and keep
the peace. He thou tried to read his
proclamation, but the mob was in no
mood for talk. Several shouted 'Goon,
go on, 1 while one, who was near the
sheriff, called out, 'Go ahead. Him no
good. 1
"The sheriff reached forward and
grasped the man to place him under
arrest, instantly there was a tumult of
yells. Five or six men pounced upon the
sheriff, seized him, shoved him Into a
ditch on the left side of the road and be
gan beating him, two of them flourishing
revolvers at him, and a third man made
a savage stab with a knife. The sheriff
in his struggles freed his right arm.and
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, IS9B.
drew his revolver and snapped it at one
of his assailants. It would not go off.
Instantly the man, Nevatanna, struck
hiui a vicious blow in the face with his
list and knocked him to his knees.
"The order to lire was given by whom
we do not know, but it was none too
soon, for the head of t in; charging column
had rushed within lifteen feet of the
deputies" line. Many of the men were
killed and wounded, while Deputy Trel
ble was shot through both arms by some
person in the rear of the deputies.'"
One of t lio lirst witnesses presented b\
the defense was Mrs. Rose (ilace. One
of the chief offenses committed by the
strickers on September 10 in Mrs. Glace'-
eyes was that they stole her bean poles
and used them as clubs. Incidental!)
they chased her husband through the
brush because he would not march with
them. "Three of the strikers went to
John Edmundson's house," said she
"and tried to make him join the crowd."
Two of them grabbed Edmundson b)
the arms and pulled one way. Mrs. Ed
mundson grabbed him about the waist
and pulled tin? other way. The poor
fellow was nearly torn apart, but the
strikers gave in and Edmundson only
suffered the loss of his shirt.
Mrs. (ilace declared that she saw the
strikers have revolvers and pieces of
iron in their hands. An effort to ex
clude a portion of this witness' testimony
on the part of the prosecution failed
after an argument that lasted an hour
or more.
Mrs. Rose Gillespie, a widow whose
home is in Harwood, where three of her
sons work in the mines, testified that she
saw strikers from McAdoo drive the
workmen out of the Harwood breaker on
Tuesday. "On September K) I was
afraid that they would trash my boys if
they would not go t.o Lattinier, so 1 sent
two of them into the brush and hid the
third in the cellar. When they started
for Lattinier every striker iiad a club
and many of them pieces of iron. They
chased men through the brush and I
heard several pistol shots."
Testimony corroborating this was
given by Mrs. Catherine Brennan. Miss
Catherine Neusenbaum, Mrs. Patrick
Gallagher, Mrs. Charles Miller and
Joseph Shultz, of Harwood.
Although Tuesday was a legal holi
day, Judge Woodward did not ad
journ court, lie. however, realized that
it would bo fitting if there were a brief
celebration of some kind in honor of the
day. Ho therefore appointed James 11.
Scarlett, one of the lawyers in the case,
to read the farewell address of Wushing-
The hearing: of testimony was then
begun. No witness was kept on the
stand a long time, and there was a ten
deuev to rush tilings. All the witnesses
examined gave very damaging testimony
against the strikers. On cross-examina
tion, however,, it was brought out that
many of them, or some of their relatives,
were holding good positions under the
coal companies.
The two most important witnesses of
the day were Mrs. Catherine (iraeber.
aged Hli years, and William (ierlock,
breaker boss at Cranberry. Mrs. (Irae
ber tesliiied that the strikers came
along like wild men, not like regular
people—a club in one hand and a pistol
in the other. She told of a man who
throw a stone at her. and exhibited a
stone weighing nearly a pound, which
she swore was the identical one.
The evidence of Oerlock was badly
shaken on cross-examination. He tosti
liod that on some day proceeding the
day of the shooting, tlio men on strike
acted in a very riotous manner. They
traveled in bands of from 100 to 200 and
visited various breakers, intimidating
and terrorizing the men at work. One
day be was so afraid that his employes
would meet with violence that he stop
pod work and sent them home.
Mrs. James Kdtuundson, of liarwood.
said that on the day of the tragedy slio
heard a neighbor shout "Skin out. The
strikers are coming!" Continuing, wit
ness said: "The strikers all had clubs.
My man and my boarders hid behind
the shanty, and 1 went to protect my
sick boy in the house. Hut they found
my husband and tried to get him away.
I grabbed him and after a lot of words
they let him go."
Mrs. EdmHudson's husband testified
that the strikers dragged him along the
road several hundred years, until ids wife
rescued him. "They wore all armed,"
lie said.
Peter Wolfe, of liarwood, testified
that on the day the strikers gathered to
march to i.attimer lie locked himself,
with several others, in the company
store, hoping to elude tbo strikers.
"When J* came out one man chased me
with a big club for u long distance and
I finally escaped by jumping through
the window of my house."
John Boyle, of liarwood, armed him
self with a billy and hid in liis house
when the strikers approached. Ills
daughter told them ho was not at home,
and they satisfied themselves by calling
her names.
James Mcdraw, of liarwood, said lie
was pursued by strikers, and as ho
could not run because of his advanced
ago ho hid in the bush; and as he drop
ped two shots were fired at him.
Charles Mullen and two friends were

BETTER FACILITIES.
fleeting to Secure More Satisfactory Ser
vice froui the Valley.
The mooting held last evening under
the auspices of the Hoard of Trade, to
consider plans by which better railroad
and mail facilities can be obtained for
Freeland, was well attended, and there
are prospects that the service will he
improved as one of the results of the
determined stand taken by the business
interests of the town. The gathering
was a representative one. The Lehigh
Valley Company had a delegation pres
ent,. consisting of Station Agent James
Mcllugh and Division Agent Hernandez.
Both of these officials are in
sympathy with the object of the meet
ing.
After the purpose was stated by Presi
dent Williamson, a motion made by W.
H. ltutz was passed authorizing the ap
pointment of a committee to prepare a
petition praying for the return of the
(>. in a. m. mail train in particular and
better mail facilities in general. Messrs.
W. 11. Bntz. A. Oswald and J. C. Horner
wore appointed on the committee.
A general discussion on the subject
followed. A. Hrucningsen thought the
company would not heed the petition.
He favored looking for another railroad.
Dr. F. Schllcher was of the opinion
that President Walter was right from
his standpoint and was justified in try
ing to make the road pay. However,
he believed the petition would have a
good effect if properly signed. He also
favored sending petitions to the post
master-general and the United States
Express Company.
A motion embodying the latter sug
gestion was made by Dr. Schllcher and
A. Rudewick.
Daniel Kline spoke of the inconven
ience to the l'ress occasioned by the new
schedule. Many subscribers cannot get
their papers until the Monday after the
date of issue.
J. C. Bernor favored the idea of the
Board of Trade co-operating witli the
Hazleton Industrial Association in try
ing to induce the Reading to extend its
road to Hazleton and Freeland.
Postmaster B. F. Davis explained the
present mail schedule. Mails depart at
7.40 and 9.33 a. rw. and 2.33 and 7 p. in.
The second outgoing mail lies at the
Lumber Yard several hours.
Station Agent James MeHwgh inform
ed the meeting that since Monday morn
ing he has been trying to better the
condition of the mail and passenger
service. He suggested that a committee
see Division Superintendent Blakslee.
This being the lirst request ever asked
by Freeland people he believed it would
lie granted.
Division Agent Hernandez, of Hazle
ton. said the town should have the early
train if it was a convenience. He prom
ised to aid in presenting the matter at
headquarters.
It was agreed to make an effort to
meet Mr. Blakslee before taking
further action. Mr. Mcllugh will try
to arrange for a meeting of the com
mittee and the superintendent at the
Central hotel as soon as possible.
The sentiment of the meeting in re
gard to local trains was that they would
pay if the faro was reduced to compote
witli the trolley line.
