In the trial of-Sheriff Martin -and his deputies, harged with the murder of strikers at Lattimer in September last, Judge Woodward took. occasion on Monday of last week tt denounce newspaper sen sationalism. He referred more espec ially. to a cartoon that was printed in the Xc-w York Journal. The vvit tiesses on Monday were George Yeager, a Slavonian, who required an interpreter; Thomas Hall, a hotel clerk, and Christopher Rrehen, a miner, and John CVstel'o. Yeaer recognized a number of the depvities who had done shooting, and alro a number of others who he. said were among the deputies. He weakened his evidence by- recog nizing as amonc the armed .deputies John Hampton, who was; in Haz'eton at . the time of the shootiAg. Hair de clared he had heard Deputy John Tur ner declare after the shooting:."! shot "nine of them,- and killed five." Bre hen . declared he had been urged by Deputy Bornheiser to join' the deputies in order to "go out and shoot the strik ers'. A few days, before the shooting Deputy Dodson said to hfm'We 'ought to get so much a head for shooting, down these stiikers. 1 wculd- do.it for a cent a head, and. make money at it." Cross examination failed to shake Bre hen's testimony. Costelio's testimony Was interrupted by an argument and adjournment. . On Tuesday of las.tiveek Judge, YYoodward announced that he had re ceived a threatening anonymous let ter, and vigorously denounced the sender.. " . .- Yhen court adjourned londay John -Costeilo had the stand, and objection had been taken by the defense to the admission -of his. evidence. He .de clafed that Deputy Hess, in reply to his .protest again&t the wholesale shooting. said: "Shut' up, or I'll treat "you the same way." When court opened Tues day Judge Woodward, sustained the de fense, -and this testimony Swas stricken 04it. Costeilo finished his evidence, say ing he had - seen eish't . wounded and three dead men lyim?-along the- road. He attended them, bfit .found no wea pons on them. ' y - John Lynch .'testified that : he heard one dpput'F say befriTe tbei'-shooting, "I could get a bead on that fel!ow" An other- said. "I'll get. even with thetr- ai Lammer. jeM'i'y .f erry told a man w ho . was syvi:: athizing with a striker that if he -did not shut ud he would blow his head off. Herman i'ottunger testified that Dep uty Henry Deihl threatened to ' Mow my brains out if I did nut get-off the road." He heard penuty Hall say, "1 d like to get Apop at them." An other; deputy said. "I. he,t I drop six. of them jvhen I get ov r there." John Fortschek. who required an in terpreter, said that lie was at West Hazleton with the strikers, and saw the sheriff threaten to shoot down sev eral men. He slated that the strikers had no -.clubs '.or . .-weapons- of any kind, . and that one of the deoulks pulled, the American flag and tore it. Simon Kowlski .said that when the sheriff stopped ' the strikers at Latti- mer he ?kc wltere- Aye were g.ang. "To Lattinrer, to st e bur fellow work men." he replied. "Then he. grabbed a man by the collar, pul ed -him out of line and pushed his revolver against his throal. Trie next, moment there was a shot, and' I rah as . fast "as I coiildJ- When I earner back Mr. Dodson, a dep uiy, came over as 1 was neimng a wounded man, and said: - 'You run Laway, or I'll shoot ypu, too." " . - dence, saying that. Sheriff if'artin fired iiis revolver, flirt,- and immediately the deputies began shooting Tie court, proceedings n ..Wednes day were opened by Judge' Woodward instructing the jury toV turn any anonymous letters they might receive over to the 'district attorney, .and" not be influenced thereby , The testimony of the day was cor roborative if that already produced J-onn 1 ourpnekovvK-z .. -testified that Sheriff Martin fijvd the' first shot, and that his shot -was followed 6y a volley from the deputies. This strengthens the claim of the prosecution that Mar' tin's shot "was to be the signal forva volley. Undertaker El Very Bonin, who buried 13 of the victims; declared that 10 were shot in the back. -The principal witn,.ses on Thursday were Daniel Ferry ,' a Haz e'.on grocer;. John Zajipa, one of ' the wounded men, August Catski and Jeseph Mekki. Fer ry, declared that .Sheriff ; Martin - was tiuite out of danger whe'h the deputies fired. Zappa told how no had been fol lowed and shot in the back 'while, run ning on the f arther -sideof the - rail road.., Catski heard cne oSrthe depu ties say: "Let them go until we get to Lattirr-er', and then w e'll slloct . them." Mekki testified that the depxi'ies called out at West Hazleton to foir.e of the strikers: ' "If you do not get cut of the road we will shoot you down like dogs." Daniel Murphy testified that he saw Deputy A. E. Hess, give f water, to a wounded" striker, and, . together with Alonzo Dodson and A. M. Eby. carry some of the wounded men to the cars. I Andrew Hannes .and-. Adam Lapinski.' two of the vyoundeel striker showed their scars. Both were vvunded . in the back while running away. Upon the calling of John X'lrich the defense, agreed to adroit the .following facts in order to hurry the trial alorig by avoiding a continued repetition 4f the same questions: ' First, the meeting of the strikers at.Haf wood: ' second, the presence of the deputies and strikers at West Hazleton;. third, the fact that the denu'.s 'were - armed : fourth, the fact When a -mm is s'ulb-ri-'g from an aching head a slm: uish body when his muscles an- lax and lazv his brain dull and hfstoma'-h 'isil'ai 11 ing food- he will'', if wise lv-ed" these warnings aiid resort to 'the right r' me'dy, before it ! is'. too. late.

' - ' On Friday an, unsuccessful effort was made to secure an ackiioxvledgment from Adam Hapinski, the first witness, that his . evidence was influenced by a hope of recuring damages if the depu ties were convicted. Other witnesses testified that some of the deputies fol lowed the fleeing strikers, for 30 yards, shooting as they ran. Andrew Maier, who limped into the court room on one leg. having flost the other on account of r deputy's bullet! said the shooting con tinued for a couple of minutes after the fatal' volley. Martin Lachar said he law a deputy ick Maier as he lay, there wounded, "but cculd ; not identify the deputy who-did ' the kicWng. The de fense objected to the admission of this testimony, and Judge Vocd'"ard sua- tained the objection, as usual. The j tther evidence vas corroborative of that already giv;n. - . The most important witness An the trial on Saturday last was John Pe truska, a huckster. Petruska testified that he saw the deputies getting guns f.t a Hazleton hardware store, and tha men declared they were going to shoot. His story of the shooting coroborated that of previous witnesses. Mary Kbh- ler, a servant . girl, testified that the people cf Lattimer were, afraid the strik'ers would break into their homes. She said they also feared that the dep uties were, going to shoot. - TQE, TRIAL CF M. ZOLA. Oospite nil ArMtrary .Jndire. AT. Zo'n Maua;e to (Jet in Some Kvl'denee. Paris, Feb. 14. The trial of MM.

If the Hecnmmendatlon of a f:onfer- ence Held tri Boston Is Adopted, a 'Ilnudretl aiid Fortv-sven Thousand t - -Mill WorKBis. Will Quit Work. ;Boston,Feb. 14.-At' a meeting yes terday in thiS: city of 55 representatives of textile unions' in New Enarlnd if was unanimously voted to recommend that all unions call out the operatives iu every cotton mill in Ne4v- England. The meeting was practically the out come of - the recommendation which President Gompers made to the Feder ation of Labor on the 6th Inst., in which he urgeji the different unions to unite on some settled policy regarding the mill situation in New England. At that meeting a committee of three was ap pointed to take eharge of the matter, and after a conference this committee recommended that a general meeting be held to take definite action. 'Yes terday the representatives cf the vari ous national textile associations as sembled in the ; Wells Memorial HalL and for four hours discussed the situation-from eyery. standpoint. The pri mary, object of the meeting was to de-, vise some method of rendering assist ance to the New BecTford strikers. Tt -vas pointed out that if the strik ers at New Bedford could hold out four weeks without receiving more than 25 cents per operative a week in the way of outside assistance other mill operatives could stand a similar strain, and that if all went out it would precipitate a crisis that would have to be met within a short time by the manufacturers. It was also shfwn that the mule spinners 'were in excellent condition as regards funds; that the United Textile Work ers and the New England Federation of Weavers were also in good shape, but that the rent were short of funds. Not a-single vote was registered against the motion hat the different unions should order a general strike. - It now reniains for the various na tional unions to take action on the recommendations; but what action will be taken is a matter" of conjecture. If all should aCfiuiesce and' vote to strike 147,000 operatives would undoubtedly cease work, and the manufacture of cotton goods throirghout New England yould be at a standstill. If, on the other hand, only a few unions should vote to Strike therefusar of the others : would still keep a large portion"-of the mills in operation. Inasmuch. However, as the meeting was the outcome of President- Gom-. pers' suggestions, and as healmonishea- the mfnbers of the Federation of La-4 bor to join hands and assist the New Bedford strikers, it seems ,propablethat nearly every union; -yvill carry but the , recommendations, and .that one of .the greatest strikes eyer.seen in this coun try is impending. ; , From the point of! vie of the New Bedford strikers the action taken by the conference is scarcely likely to be received with joy. inasmuch as it is against the policy adopted at the meet ings of the executive committee of the National Spinners' union to wit, that New Bedford should ..be made the-bat-.JJeground. and until the conclusion of the strike.there the other textile centers should remain at work, thereby acquir ing the means to assist the New I'ed--ford Operatives in their "struggle. Then, at the conclusion of' New Bedford's fight, the plan was, whether New Bed ford won or lost, the strike against the general reduction should be extended in one district at a time until the whole of New England had been covered.
