DECISION TO BE HAD TODAY. The Industrials' Trial in the Federal Court. Eridence Showing; How the Train Was Captured. an Important Casa Involving Legal Koss Reserved Decision Until This Marnlug. Judge Robs of the United Btates circuit court will decide at 10:30 o'clock tbis morning whether the 170 Industrials who took possession of an Atlantic and Pacific train and rode from Mojave to Barstow are guilty of contempt and a violation of an order of the court whereby the road was placed in the hands of receivers.

The whole of yesterday was occupied in the trial of the Commonwealers who filled the court room to the utter exclusion of almost all spectators. The men were marched in fours from their headquarters in the Murietta building on New High street to the court room in the postoffice building. Deputy marshale guarded tbe door way and allowed no one to enter except attorneys, officers and others with special permission. Mrs. Anna F.

Smith, who gained much notoriety from her connection with the army when it wae first organized iv San Francisco, was a witness, while Mre. Mary Alex was there as an interested spectator. Sho came into notoriety in connection with the Industrial movement several months ago when she kept Theodore Pinther in hiding at her home on Grand avenue. Pinther was afterward sentenced by Judge Otis of the San Bernardino eupreme court for sending a threatening telegram to the court demanding the release uf Vinette and other Commonwealers who were tried there for inciting to riot. Pinther was an onlooker at the trial of bis comrades yesterday.

Court was convened at 10:30 o'clock, when United States District Attorney Denis asked tbat K. N. Starry of Albuquerque, attorney for tbe Santa Fe, and W. J. Hunsaker, associate, be entered of record ac associate attorneys for the government.

Attorney J. Marion Brooks, for the defendants, asked permission to return an amended answer in the case of Martin Cooney and Thomas Bulfinch, and a separate answer for each of tbe other industrials. Besides Mr. Brooks, Attorneys Stephens and Dunlap appeared for tbe delendants. Mr.

Denis presented the documents for receivers, after which Mr. Brooks moved to try the men separately. The motion was denied, and the government called as first witness 11. B. Aldrich, trainmaster of tlie California division of the Atlantic and Pacific railway.

Mr. A dr.ch, upon the stand, stated that for the last two and a halt years he resided at The Needles, and has occupied tbe position of trainmaster for the California division of the Atlantic and Pacific during tbat time. He said that when he first heard of the men capturing the train he was at The Needles. He ordered his locomotives at Barstow to be run out to prevent tbe Industrials from getting any further eastward along the line. Traffic was a day.

Mr. Brooks a ked tbe witness if other employees had allowed men to ride upon the trains, to which he answered in the negative and qualified the remark by eaying that theie were instructions against it, but had known such cases ou his line. A ripple of laughter was caused among the Industrials by Aldrioh'a testimony, and Judge Ross immediately ordered the marshal to arrest any person making further demonstration, saying he would sentence any such to six months in jail. This was the means of keeping the men quiet tbe remainder of the session. Mtb.

Smith was called. She is a corpulent lady, apparently 40 years old, and wore spectacles and a little flowery bonnet. She has a determined look upon ber large, round, wrinkled face, and alter hearing her talk one would say tbat ahe is the "right woman in the light place," for she believes the Industrials have a miseion to perform. She testified that ebe in Oakland witb tbe army; that tbe army moved to Stockton, to Saoramento and down to Bakersfield. She was at Bakersfield when the men arrived there.

She worried tbe government attorneys by refusing to answer questions tending to criminate herself. She said little and looked aise. Tlie prosecution got little or no information irom her about the affairs of tbe army. J. B.

Bunnell, the engineer of tbe train which the Industrials captured, testified that on the morning ol the 7th when bis train was about a mile out from Mojave, he was signaled to stop by a torpedo on tbe track, and a short distance farther a lantern was swung across the track. He stopped the train and the Industrials climbed aboard, when he refused to move it any farther. Au engineer from the ranks of the Industrials took tne lever, aud the train sped on to Barstow, a distance of 70 miles, Conductor Newhall took tbe stand and said tbat he first beard of the presence of the Industrials when train was stopped, a mile after leaving Mojave. The men did not ask permission to board the train. When the train reached Barstow Newhall told tbem the road was in tbe bands of a roceiver appointed by the United States court, when they replied that tbey expected to make a tout case of it, and wanted to be tried at Leavenworth, where they wanted the government to take them on their way eastward.

Upon cross-examination he admitted tbat persons had ridden free on the road under similar circumstances. Thomas Prindiville, yardmaster of the road at Barstow, also constable and deputy sheriff, met the Induntrials at Barstew, He watned tbem to keep off the train, as they were "bucking" against tbe government. The men got off when he told tbem an engine had been sent out, and turned the water out of the tanks along the road. There were telegraph operators among the army, for they wonld lieten to the dispatches and impart tbem to tbe whole body of men. The railroad company ordered its operator to stop work, as the Commonwealers were learning the affairs of the company.

Traffic wae delayed and an eastbound and westbound maii train were delayed. Attorney Brooks elioited the information from Prindiville tbat he hud sent similar bodies of men back to Mojave from Barstow Upon oneoccasion he had shipped 68 men back upon authority of the railroad company, and had furnished them with $15 worth ot provisions, for which be expected the company to reimburse him. Martin Oooney, the spokesman for the had told him he did not know the road was in the bands of receivers. A. E.

Dorsey, a brakeman, testified to going back to Mojave after the train was stepped and notified the officials of tbe road. He warned the Industrials to slay off the train. S. K. Bordwell, a trainman, corroborated the testimony of the preceding witness.

Fireman Oliver Crawford testified to the came facts, as did the engineer. Marshal Covarrubias gave a graphic account of how he arrested tbe men, and tbis testimony brought the ease for tbe defendants up to the important point, for Mr. brooks asked a dismissal of tbe case without further testimony, on the ground that the men had not violated an order of the court, not having known that tbe road was in tbe hands of receivers. The motion was denied. Martin Oooney, the spokesman for the defendants, was then called to the stand by the attorney for tbe defense, and etated tbat he did not know the road was in the bands of receivers appointed by the United States courts.

Cooney aaid he was nnder tbe impression that the army was to be hauled to the county line, as the supervisors of tbat county had paid the Southern Pacific Railway company $400 to transport them to the line. Cooney had always gone ahead and secured arrangements for provisions for tbe men. He had asked the under sheriff how far the army was to be hanled, and was told to the county line. Tbe reason tbe army went a mile from Mojave to take a train wae tbat there is always a sort of an understanding between the railway employees and such bodies of men tbat tbe railway companies were made liable for damages by hauling a lot of men into a place from another station, and tbe men had to get off and on away from a station. Attorney Brooks presented an agreement entered into by all the Industrials to the effect that the men were sworn to snpport the constitution of the United States, and to not defy nor break any laws of tbe United States.

On cross-examination by Attorney Starry, Cooney stated that he thought there was no particular objection to taking tbe train on account of tbe agreement witb the Kern county officials to haul tbe army to the county line. He stated that be rode from Bakersfield to Mojave with "Col." Barker, but did not know where he is now. The defendants' attorneys asked the proaecution if they were willing to admit that all tbe defendante would awear tbat tbey did not know the road wae in the handa of receivers, and to ttie aame effect aa did Cooney, when Attorney sianv for the prosecution aaid he would not admit anything, whereupon toe attuJneya for the defense began calling up the defendants to testify one by one. The first witness called testified to all the statements made by Cooney, and went into minute details as to how tbe train wae taken. All of them stated tbat no one ordered them otf the train, and tbat they did not know tbe road waa in the bauds of receivers.

United Stales Attorney Denia aeked that tbe testimony given by the witneises that tbey did not know tiie road wee in the handa ol receivers be stricken ont, because, he said, tbe absence ol knowledge was immaterial, lie cited authorities on the subject, but after a abort discussion the court took a recess at 2 o'clock. When the court convened at 2 o'clock United States Attorney Denis took up argument in behalf of his motion, and said that if the court held mat the parties must have knowledge of the road being in the handa ot receivers, th -re waa no further uee of exaruiuiug each of the deiendante. Attorney Uunsaaer atated that under tbe court's order the receivers of the road were officers of the United States circuit court, aud that the Industrials nad taken poaaoasiou of tbe properly ol the receive id, preventing the operatiou of the court'a order. the men bad banded themselves together and captured trains upon more than one occasion, aad were pursuing an unlawful industry. Mr.

Stephens stated that the question before tbe court waa whether a violation of the court'a order bad been comm.tted question of fact, not of law. Rosa stated tbat he was not prepared to pass upon thequeetiou as tv whether actual knowledge muat be nad of tbe court'a order, but that he would take cognizance oi the matter in mitigation of Benteuce. The judge recalled Conductor Newhall and asked him the exact conversation tbat occurred between himself aud the men at Barstow. Tha coudixuLor stated tOS ANGELES HER A LP: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1894 that two of the men bad aaid that "the reason they tackled the Atlantic and Pacifln road was because they knew it was in the hands of receivers and wanted to make a test case of it, and expected to be tried at Leavenworth." The conductor continued by saying that be had received no orders to transport the men from Mojave to any place. Yardmaster Prindinville was recalled and testified tbat he was the one wiio mentioned that the men would probably tie taken to Leavenworth.

He knew the men wanted to go that way, aud said be did it to pacify them. He told them the United States marshal was coming to arrest them, and they said they were glad of it. The prosecution recalled Marshal Covarrubias, who testified in detail as to the manner in which he went out to Barstow and arrested the Commonwealers. He told how he talked with one of the army members named Bulfinch, whom he had known 22 years, and how Bulfinch told him that the army did not know the road was in tbe bands of receivers. The defendants' connsel recalled Mr Oooney, who said that he did not remember being in tbe presence of Conductor Newhall, who swore that Cooney was in tbe crowd who said tbey wanted to make a test case of tbe matter.

He testified that he thought be was asleep on top of a oar when the incident occurred. C. K. Forest, one of the defendants, was called to the stand and testified tbat he did not hear anyone say anything about wanting to be taken to Leavenworth. A young man named Cole was called and stated that be and Forest were standing beeide Conductor Newhall, but did not hear Newhall say to tbe men that they were tackling the government.

Young Mundel, whom Engineer Bunnell said ran the engine to Barstow after the Industrials captured it, was called, and positively denied tbe statement of the railroad engineer that he took charge of the engine. All evidence being in, argument for the government was opened by United States Attorney whossid tbat the only question before tbe court was as to whethsr there had been a violation of the court's order. He said that for three months the Southern Pacific had asked him to arrest Industrials for taking charge of trains, but upon investigation he found that no act had been committed against the government, for they did not etop the United States mails. Mr. Stephens opened the argument for the defense by saying that the men bad in no wise placed themselves in contempt of the court; they had not obstructed the train; they were going in the same direction as was the train and when tbe railway's engineer refused to further run the train one of tho Commonwealers took charge and rushed tbe train through on time.

He made a strong appeal for the defendants and dealt strictly with tbe legal status of the case. Judge Ross then announced tbat be would render bis decision in court at 10:30 a.m. today, whereupon tbe men were marched to their quarters for the night. THE COUNT DE OCA. He Returns to -Los Aug-eles After a Prolonged Connt de O'Cb, who at one time wae chef of the California club, has returned to the city after a prolonged absence.

The Telegraph of laet evening says "It ie remembered that the "count's" enforced exile was brought about by a number of anonymous letters in which acurrilous attacks on the character of a number of prominent and respectable people were made, being traced to him. Many of the letters were sent into tbe beat families in the city, purporting to be Bigned by equally well known residents. Investigation showed of course that the writer forged the names. "All tbis oocurred after tbe California club's cook had won the heart and money of Mr. Saretield O'Reilly who, prior to an alliance with the O'Reilly, was known as Mrs.

Woodruff, having acquired that name by marriage subsequent upon a union witb one Thompson With the acquisition of wealth d'Oca discarded stew pans, broilers and the smell of tbe kitchen and looked about upon a plan of enjoying himself." The paper then goes on to state that detectivee were put at work aud at last brought the matter home to the count, who promised to leave the oity forever. The article concludes as follows: "Why has 'Count' d'Oroa returned to Los Angeles? and will the charges be pushed? are questions. An answer to the first is that he intends to try to show that the anonymous letters for the writing of which he was banished were written not by him, but by tbe anonymous letter writer who figures in tbe Crandall- Platt-Harris scandal." A BLANKET INJUNCTION. Another Move Made In tho Sfausrleld- Fratt Case. It will be remembered that the laet time tbe Mansfield Pratt case waa up before Judge Clark, Mrs.

UilU HER HUSBAND AT HOME IN BED. Mrs. Comstock the Alibi of the Roscoe Suspects. The Defense Has Made, Out a Strong Case. The Prosecution ths Allhl Will Be Broken by Kebuttftl T.itimiiDj, Brighton's Conversations Are Denied.

Counsel for the defense in the trial of and Fitzsimmons con tinued putting in testimony all day yeaterday and announced in the alternoon that they would close today. There has been so much hilarity about the trial that it has taken away the idea tbat tbe men are on trial for a capital crime, Tbe counsel on both sides have boen good natured and they, au well as tbe jury, have had numerous laughs during tbe proceedings. Tbe defendants have never seemed, however, to consider it much of a joke and hav6 kept their eyee riveted on every witness and every word that tbey have uttered. Tho plan of the defense has been to account to tbe minutest detail for all the movements of the defendants since they have lived in the Little rejunga cefion, and before and after the hoid-up of tbe Man Francisco train at Hoscoe, the night of February 15th last, and to explain tbe suspicious circumstances which led to their arrest. They have made out a strong defense, especially witb reierence to their movements the day of the uald-up and the day after.

The prosecution say they have rebuttal which which will knock tbe alibi eky high, and which will be put in today or tomorrow. Tbe same general line of testimony was followed yesterday by the defense aa the day before. Witnesses were introduced to Bbow how tbe defendants came into possession of the overcoats, upou which such stress has been laid by tbe prosecution, and there were lew incidents of more than ordinary interest.

Louis Packwood, tbe 11-year-oid son ot the preceding witness, also identified the overcoat in a similar manner. John (4. Clark, an old soldier residing on Qlassell'a ranch near Tropico, teatiried that John Belt's repuiation for truth and veracity waa very bad. 'Wouldyon believe bim nnder oath?" aeked Mr. Ling.

"No, air," replied tbe witness, emphatically. "You don't like Mr. Belt," said Mr. Dillon on cross-examination. "I bave no feeling against bim," said Clark, "bat be is not the kind of a man tbat does a community any good to be in it.

When lie is around you need a shotgun." "That's tbe kind of man you are?" "That's the kind of man I am. lam my own the ranch." W. B. iianey, a farmer living in tbe Little Tejunga curl saw Comstock on the 23d of February. He told the witness tbat be had got a double-barrelled shotgun tbat day from Mr.

The wagons were oreakv affairs, and the nags as sorry a act as could be seen in a day's travel. The trial will be resumed tbis morning at 9 o'clock. BEN FOLSOM IN TOWN. The la Acquainted One, More. Buffalo Express, June 2: Mr.

Benjamin Folboiu is in town. The popular and affable ex-consul to Sheffield and his bride of a few months arrived on Thursday evening from a winter in Southern California and are located at the Niagara, where they will be for 10 days or so. This is really the first visit Mr. Folsom has paid to his native heath since be gave up bia mission in tbe English city of knives laet year, although he did stop over in town a few hours in the fall when he waa on bis way to Michigan to enter tbe ranks of the benedicts. Mr.

Folsom is not so young, of course, as be used to be, but be still looks young and bas tbe pleasant manner which haa always been a prominent characieristio of bia individuality. Buffalo and tbe whole country, in fact, have alwaya taken a peculiar and kindly interest in him. Mr. Folsom is an enthusiast on the theme of California, its possibilities and its wonderful climate. He bas an orange plantation in the celebrated Redlands district in San Bernardino ooun'y and believes apparently, like so many easterners who have followed Horace Greeley's advice, that tha west, or at least the land of the 'Golden Gate' is God's own country.

"To my mind," said be, "California presents to young men who have only a little capital to live upon the very best inducements for an out-of-dcor life in such profitable occupations as stock raising, fruitgrowing and agriculture in general. To poaeeas 10 or 20 acrea witb water in California is vastly better than to own a very large farm in any of the eastern states." A GRAVITY PROBLEM. The Sewer Committee end an Irrigation Company Puzzled. The members of the sewer committee of the council aud tbe representatives of the South Side Irrigation company held a meeting yeaterday morning and wrestled with a problem in gravitation. The irrigation company for a long time past bas been getting its main eource of supply in the shape of irrigation water from tbe San Pedro Btreet sewer.

They bave become alarmed recently over the fact that tbe building of the city internal sewer system in connection with the outfall sewer is likely to cut their entire water supply for irrigation purposes. This has been brought about by the fact that the Maple street aewer system is laid niue feet lower than the pipea of the irrigation company, and as tbey have not solved tne problem of making water ruu up hill, they aie fearful of loeing the water supply, and want the couucil to devise some means by which they can get water, which tbey say they are willing to pay as macb for as anyone else. They are now paying for 150 inchea of water, and it is said have been receiving 400 inches. As matters now stand the sswer committee feels tbat tbe irrigation company should do tbe brain work incidental to supplying it with water, as well as pay the expense attendant thereon. The company supplies the old Naileau ranch and adjoining property suutheaat of the city with irrigation water.
