his deputies began today In the Luzercio
county court. Attorney McQahren pre
sented the case for the 'commonwealth.
Andrew Slver was the first witness called.
Ho Is a Hungarian , but opcaks excellent
English. He proved the death of Mike
Cozlak. saying that ho saw him lying deaden
on the reid at Lattimer with a bullet In
his head. Witness saw the sheriff draw his
revolver and heard U snap and then the
.shooting commenced.
The defense attempted to show that the
witness had been engaged In terrorizing
men who did not want to strike to such
an extuit that they were forced to Join
the strikers through fear of Injury , but
the court would not allow It. Later the
defense asked the witness If ho had not
been engaged In or known of sundry ca.'ea
ct violation , with the strikers as aggressors ,
on the day of the shooting. This the wit
ness denied.
The second witness was John Mahala , wlio
was nt the time of the strike president o7
the Harwood local union of the United
Mlno Workers ot America. He told ot the
meeting where. It 'wos agreed to march to
I/ittlmcr at the Invitation of the miners
there , his counsels of peace nnd the start
the next day , all the men being unarmed.
At West Uazleton they were fitopped by
the sheriff , who ordered them to disperse.
URBAKING NO LAW.
Mahala. protested that they were break
ing < no low , whereupon ono of the deputies
grabbed the American flag he bore and
tore It In halves. "The sheriff pointed his
icvolver nnd threatened to shoot. The dep
uties pushed us around with the muzzle. ?
of their suns and swore at us , and ono j (
struck John Eustls. twice with his gun , '
cutting his head an'd breaking his arm la
two placs. " 1
"Then 'IlnrrpRs ' .Tnnos nf "U'psf TTnrrplJnn ro. i t
monstrated with the sheriff , saying ho could
keep the peace without using any weapons ,
that ho bed confidence In ua and would let
us marcti through the streets ot his borough
as much as wo liked. The sheriff and his
deputies then boarded the cars and wo
marched on tow.rd Lattimer. "
Witness was in the rear of the crowd when
the shooting commenced. He saw ten dead
morn and a number of wounded lying In the
road.
road.Rev.
Rev. Father 'Richard ' Aust , pastor of the
St. Stanislaus Polish church at Hazelton ,
chairman of the prosecuting committee , ws
called to prove _ that many cf the strikers
were shot In the back. He saH he had
examined a number of the dead , 'but ' could
not tell In detnil what their wounds wore , j
He had burled thirteen of the dead. | j
Rev. Carl Ilauscr. pstor of the Lutheran j i
church at Preeland. said that be had exi i i
amlned severaland _ found they were shot in I
thPsVio or back" . "I boarded a car , " ho said , j j
"which brought ten of the dead and u let I I
of the vounded from the scene of the shoot- i
Ing. There was a pile of rifles on a corner , j i
I said to one ot the deputies , Frank Clark : j ,
'I am afraid ot some of them falling and ]
exploding. ' 'You need not be afraid , ' ho re
plied , 'they are all empty now. ' "
NO COMMAND TO FIRE.
Charles GuFcott , principal of the Lattimer ! !
school , Q building about COO yards from ths i
sccno of the shooting , said he was teach .
ing school wVien ho heard an unusual noise ,
and going to the window he found that a
number of men. some eighty , were alighting
from aai electilc car. They were deputies.
Ho saw the deputies line up to the siJe ot
the road nnd form with rifles ready. The
strikers were by this time some 200 or 300
yards away. They wcro marahtag five and
six abreast , and were quiet and orderly.
Witness could not see that they carried any
weapons. AE they drew near the sheriff
advanced to meet them.
As ' 10 reached the first man a dozen erse
so formed a half circle arcund him. He did
not hear the sheriff say anything , nor did he
see him read any reaper. A minute after
they stopped those behind pushed nhead to
see what was going en , and got ahead of the
sheriff. At that moment one of the deputies
stopped out of the line and advanced , where
upon one s'.iouted : "If you do not comeback
back wo will shoot you too. " The fellov ;
jumped back into the line nnd almost Im
mediately after the witness heard a shot. It
A moment later two more shots were fired ,
and then came the volloy.
As soon an the volley was fired the strikers
ran Ici all directions. Between .tho road and
the school house fifteen men fell , stru-ck
down by shots fired after the first volley.
Hn saw ono man shot and killed whllo run
ning at full speed at a distance of 100 yards
from tfie road. The shooting csnt'nued for
two or three minutes. The witness did not
eeo any ot the dfoutles leave the line atid
run after the strikers. He knew n num
ber of the deputies , and saw them plainly
just before the shooting occurred.
Guscott will ' ontinue tomorrow.

LONDON , Feb. 3. Oer Incontrovertible nil
thorlty the Associated Press learns thai
Great Britain lias not packed down on the
'
question of making Tal'leh Wan n free port.
The marquis of Salisbury. Mr. Curzon. the
Parliamentary secretary _ ot the foreign office ;
the Russian ambassaOct nnd the Chinese
tnlnlflter , each said yesterday. In conversa
tion , that they had not 'beard of any back
down. The gponltid ot'Tallcii Wan , It Is
pointed out , was never JIM do A condition In
any sine qua ncn In'ctitiwtlon with the loan
to China. The preliminary negotiations on
tbo subject at the evening of the port of
Tallen Wan were couchnl "In neutral tints , "
Great Britain ally suggesting it as one con
dition favoring a epecdy completion of t'.ie
loan. It never demanded It and therefore
In no sense can bo said to have backed down ,
It the dcalro was not persisted In. The
Tallen Wan question was , however , with
other suggested comlltlcos of the loon , still
negotiating.
The bent of the Russian press on the sub
ject Is In no sense shown by the Russian
government In Its communications' which
have reached the foreign ofilce. Though
Russia has protested and means to continue
to protest in the stoutest manner against
Tallen Wan being opened b > British Influ
ence , It will not carry Its protest to the point
of making It a casus belli. Further , It Is
by no means Russia's intention to close
China to other nations In any concessions
made to Russia by China. The Irritation in
Great Britain , nnd the disappointment In the
United States over the so-called backing
down of the marquis of Salisbury Is there
fore not yet Justified , Great Britain Is actIng -
Ing strenuously In favor of Tree ports In
China and hopes sincerely to bavo the moral
support of the United States In this policy.
If events should push Great Britain from
this position with the/ / prospect of defeat
therein. It will ask for the support of
Washington.
