THE DEBS TRIAL. Witnesses Tell Stories of -Violence of tho Mobs. I Chicago, Sept. 18.—Tuesday morning' the United States circuit court. Judge Woods presiding, took up again the contempt cases against the officers of the American Rail way union. General Superintendent Charles Dunlap. of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, was the first witness sworn. Witness was very sure that if there had been no violence the Rock Island would have had no trouble in filling the strikers' places. Plenty of men canje voluntarily, wanting work. Many who were eager ,to work were timid, because of fear of. violence, ' lie had h*ad twentysix years' experience in the management of railroads. He had known of various strikes during that time, but he never knew. of one that was not' accompanied byviolence. Mr. Gregory conducted the cross-ex-amination. After some general questions Mr.-Gregory' began a series of interrogatories that seemed to indicate a purpose on the part of the defense ' to bring intp court the telegrams and correspondence of the General Managers' association. Ife asked many questions as to the General Managers' association. Judge Woods said that he did' not., see the relevancy of the testimony which Mr. Gregory was trying to elicit. Mr. Gregory replied that he considered the matter very important. “If the court .will admit the testimony, and the witnesses who know most about'the facts'will be obliged to testify, we can show. I think, that this j General Managers' association was preparing to reduce .the wages of the employes of these railroads j' and to do so by a combination, and that this was the real j cause of the strike. From one end of this country to the other we have heard the. sympathetic strike denounced. It is said that some strikes may .be all right, but the present Strike is Wicked and criminal. Judge Cooley, said .that no beard 1 , of arbitration—and 1 add that no injunction of a court.—can compel nien to -work if they do not want to. Since the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the constitution no bian can be kept in involuntary servitude unless for a crime of which.he has been properly convicted. i'Now, these employes on*' the i Rock Island had' a right to quit worjt. No injunction could prevent them from ' quitting ■or from advising others to quit. The i government .has offered certain tele-' grams sent.by these defendants; they have proved violence; but there has been no proof, of• connection between the facts. A man has a right to quit work whenever he wishes." In the afternoon Elmer E. Clitheroh. an engineer on the Burlington, gave a long account-of. .his adventures July 6 I with engine 466, which the mob de- • railed and ditched at Millard avenue ■ by laying steel rails across the tracks : when he was going 20 miles an hour. j t'ni<A>;o. Sept. 14. —ln the Debs . trial several messenger boys testified to'having delivered telegraphic messages addressed to E. V.: Debs to varil ous persons, but only a very few to Debs t ersonally. They had been instructed to deliver all messages I marked “personal" to no one but Mr. Debs. Among others to whom telegrams hail been delivered were 'Messrs. Hogan,Howard. Kelihe.randßogers. In receipting for them the gentlemen named ywould sometimes sign their own names and sometimes that of M,r. Debs. ' ■Chicago, Sept. 15.. —All of the testimony in the Debs contempt case is in. - Much to the,surprise of everyone, the attorneys for the defense announced I Thursday afternoon when the last witi ness for the prosecution had been beafd that they would stake their case i on the evidence before the court. This was apparently a great surprise to Mr. Walker and his associates who represent the prosecution, Mr. Miller and Mr. Bancroft, of the Santa Fe road. However, after some preliminary stipulations as to the prepara tion of papers. J udge \Vpodsadjourned court to Tuesday. September 25, when ! the Arguments will- be heard. Wallace Rice, a newspaper reporter, who said he w s also a membe’r of the A R. I’., testified to several inter views with Mr. Debs in which the latter had used language indicating that he had full charge an l control of the strike; that he had set fiie date when the boycott against various roads- should take effect, and that he had personally ordered the men bn several lines to quit worlj. ~-s~ Alfred f. Weinsheimer. secretary of Pullman's Palace Car company, was called and identified two contracts—one between his company and the Eastern Illinois * road, and the I'other.'between his company and the Santa Fe road. ThCy were the e®n- • tracts about which there was so much conjecture during the I strike.
