She arose. Officer llenntes, as usual
said: "Witnesses in this case come
forward." And the room rose in a
body. They crowded forward In
countless numbers. (Never has any
thing been so extensively witnessed,
exeept perhaps a circus, or the opening
of the Panama Canal.)
Only four were questioned. The
upshot of the matter was that Mrs.

It was a bane and an encumbrance

Serene midnight had been filled with

J. H. Whittle, who Is out of his Job
in the King Mill through the strike,
yesterday stopped to speak to one
Mertin, a witness, who stated: “Whit

place to w-w-work? You ought to
have your da-da-damn brain busted
out! I says: "Nobody ain’t goin’ to
bu-bu-bust It out!' ” And so forth.
Whittle on the other hand told a very
straight story of having had a per
sonal altercation with Mertin. It Is a
case of such a serious nature that
Judge Irvine put off hts decision till
Saturday to gain time for reflection
and the finding of possible further
evidence.
Judge Irvine said that any threat in
the nature of Intimidation would have
to be severely dealt with. The facts
seem to point, however, to unnecessary
panic on the part of Mertin In this In
stance.
Lily Stevens, colored, was up for
