The two matn w1tneses natnat Norton had been rrestc4 by the 1)011CC Saturday evening and : kept from commtinlcatlng with the oUt8ide World. This eircurntanco had fortultouBly q ieakcd nut anti DepUty County Attorney Phil Winter had been apprIcd of It. No hnrge whatever hltI ( icfl entered on the tnOk at the polka station and the men vere placed In IL cell Iiere their condition and WIinrcabouts wotild not ho given away. ; Fbece Inca were James PhlIllpe and John lIanen. They had testified in the case against IClrschbauin , Dwyer and 'Mnck flnrns' and bad been subpoenaed to give evidence against Norton , i'liLiip ; however , bad been away from the city since his tcstt. t inony in the other case , and tt telegram had ? been sent to him to Wichita , iCan. , whither lie hn0 gone. In rcsponso to this telegram he irr1vcd here Friday night , and the next night lietectivo Tom Ormsby arrested him nod hansen , who had been In the city all the tlnrn. I When they were needed Mr. Winter had . to go to the police station for them. lie saw t them yesterday morning for the fIrst tune I idaco the trial of FClrschbaum and the others. . The two men were sent lip to the court i house with I'ollcc1nan ICirke as a. guard ( luring the morning , nail for the afternoon . scssioii of the hearing , they were sent up I th a patrol wagon , nailer chirgo of Pollee- i man alover. They weic kept under guard , all the time they were in court by the 0111- cers who brought theii there. Just a little before 5 P. m. Captain Mostyn sent up . I'atrolman Itelgelman in cidlian clothes to relieve alover , but at that irnint Judge flax- Fl ter sroilcd the scheme of the police very nicely. 1Iu'.ter ft Ilnhtti. . / An effort had been made by Mr. Winter to get beforu the court the evident plan of ) the police to Intimidate the two witnesses , iflit inasmuch as an objection from the do- fens was made and Mr. Winter could not iositLvel connect Norton with the coarse work of the police , the julge had sustained the objection on the grounds of linmate- rinlity. However , when an ndjourmnent for the lay was taken , the judge concluded that , the county jail was a better place In. which to have the two men kept as witnesses. First ho told Itelgelnian he should walk the . t- two men down to the pollee station instead I of taking them down In the Patrol wagon , 41 but on second thought ho said that they , , . , would be turned over to the sherlffs custody , as witnesses for the state for the reason that tim county jail wns in a better sanitary condition than the Police station , taking care , before making this orde : . to ascertain from the two men just how they had been conflned and treated during their incarcera- tlon over Sunday. Judge Baxter then told Mr. Winter to make out a commitment In : . tltIe form and have Slit rift McDonald come ( loWit flild take charge of the two inca. , The judge dictated the commitment so as to makN It read that they were so held subject - ject to the order of the county court as witnesses in the case of the state against Norton , and advised the sheriff that they wore not to ho removed except on a demanl trom the police for their appearance at some hearing or examination by the police court , If any , and then only upon Judge Baxter's order. lie told Iteigeirnan he could go back I to the liollco station without. the men and I convey the message from him that the men were held iii the sheriff's custody , subject to ' L . the demand of the police for their appear- \ anee at a pollee court bearing. The pretext made by the police for arresting - resting the two men so opportunely and keeping them locked up and without corn- , 2nunlcatlon with the outside , not oven al- ] owing them to see thou' attorney , Is that they vcre suspected of the street car robbery - bery of Thursday night.

The maIn vltness against Norton was I James Phillips , who , with John Ilnnscn , had been arrested at the place on the evening of the date mentioned simultaneously with : the arrest of Ktrschibaum , Lwycr and "Jack I hitirns' at 311 North Sixteenth street. $ I'bihhlps was also the principal witness , , against Kirschbauni nail the other two inca KINGSFORD9S SILVER GLOSS ' STAHOII I Unsurpassed for fine Linoim MuaJins and Laces , - - - - - In the case against them which resulted in their being held ovorto the district court. lie nnt hansen are joint defcndsnts In a separate ease' which has been ' cOntInued until the October term of the distrIct court at the request of the vrosecution , Mr. Winter placed Phillips on the stand as the first witness. The buren of his testinion' was that after he had quit the employ of Iirsclibaum , Dwyer and Byrne at 314 North Slatconth street , In the black' smith shop , where ho had been conducting the "pin game" for them , Norton had met him on the street in front of where Ed Smith , formerly of Arkansas , bad been running - ning the "race track game , " namely , at No. 2l , and engaged him to put his "pin game" In the place there In the stead of the "race track game" which SmIth had been operating. The way the arrangement Was inatl was likn this , ho said : Norton caine up to me in front of the place and said to me : "You are just the lana I want to see ; I want you to go to work for me. I want you to Put the pins In there insteal of the race track game. " I said "All right ; I'll ' go to work , " Norton told in I'd "be treated right. " Viit 10 Vork for % ( , rtoJi. There was no stipulated compensatlin , the witness explni neil on cross-examination. Norton had asked him if he had quit the other vlaco becaUse ho had not been paid enough for his work. Phillips had replied that such had been the reason , lie worked there that afternoon , and in the evening he was arrested in company with hansen , who , at the time , was In the front Part of the house , whIle he ( l'hiilips ) vah ; operating the "pin game. " Smith was not caught because he bad quit the "race track game , " and it was no longer running , For that reason , too , Smith was not present at the time. Witness contiuued In his tea- tiniony : I was working for Norton at time time of limo arrest. I was running the ala tramp. When I went in with Norton ho told the man who vaa running the "race track ganic"-it was Turner I think-to turn the lunacy over to Inc. There was about 360 In silver. I asked him it he did not have some paper money-some $5 bills. lie asked moo if I hatl any on inc. I told him I had $50 in paper money. flo turned to Burnett and asked how much ho hind , i3ur- flett said 25. Thus money altogether con- stltuted the bank roll , The "race track gnimio' hail been closed simultaneously with the opening of the ' " 'pin game. I was running the "pin game" on the annie cloth and with the same pins I had used at time other place ( in time blacksmith shop for Kirmmchbaum and time others. ) Norton told miie to take tim "money mit time wheel" when I started In to work. In answer to some questions from the court , lie explained the exact location of No. 2i North Sixteenth street. Air. Keilcennoy subjected hint to a severe cross-examination , but the witness seemed on the alert for catch questions and answered every interrogation as though h did not prqpose to let the other side catch him happing.

In reply to nimnmerous qur'stions , Phillips said lie had followed circuses ever since 1886 , and generally , operated time "pin game" whenever he had an occasion to do so , He did not limiow that hIs testimony tended to criniinato himself. lie ilid not know lie was going to testify against Norton until this very morning , Then Mr. Winter hail told him be would be called upon.

Q.-Yott expect to be tried and prosecuted - cuted ? A.-Yes , sIre I do. At ithis point Phillips was recalled for redirect examination and the apparatus used in the "race track game" was admitted as evidence. It. is a curious device , consisting of a sliding rod in a slender cylinder , tIme latter beimmg grooved spirally so as to allow - low the "horses" to rotate , There is a spring attachment to the rod and by means of a lover under the floor the do. vice can be operated at vil1 so as to cheat the player. The "pins" and cloth used In the game Phillips ran , ho said , lie had simb. stituted for others that bail been there in the hlacksmith shop before ho went to work for the three men. The "pins" there originally were "clumsier , " he explained. Nortoim I'romniel Protection. While lie had Phillips on the stand Mr. Winter made the most of the opportunity to show that Norton had boasted of police protection , Phillips testihleml : I asked Norton about protection and was told everything would be all right. Q.-Who told ybu so ? A.-Norton ; he said I would be protected - tected , Q.-When and where did lie tell you this ? A.-l can't Just exactly remember time time. but it was when he asked me on Sixteenth - teenth street If there was anything wrong with me except that I had not been paid enough by the other three men , I said no , Ho asked it everything else was all right. I told him yes. Ho said : "There can't anything - thing happen to you. " Ho told me if I could fInd a place on Sixteenth street he'd go and rent It and declare the other peo. plo "out ; " that ho would put me "In with him. " My understandIng was that we would divide up the proceetis and that Kirsch- baum , Dwyer and Byrne would be "out. " Q.-Did you not hear something to the effect that if there was any Interference there "would be h-I a-popping ? " A.-I heard it second-handed. Mr. Winter then brought up the whole cIrcumstance of the arrest of Phillips upon hits arrival from Wichita to give testimony in the case In response to a telegram sent hIm by Mr. Winter , and , to meet Mr. lCd- kcnney's objection , he offered to show to the court that an effort hail been made by the police to prevent the witness from testifying - fying against Norton. There had been no charge lodged agains Phillips up to 3 o'clock that very afternoon. The police were endeavoring to intimidate the two men , said Mr , Winter and had kept them from coin- inunicatImig with anybody in hopes that they could bo prevented from testifying against Norton. The court had to sustain the ob- jectlon of Mr. Kelkenney for thu reason that Mr. Winter could not dictly connect Norton - ton with the acts of the police , Norton 'Wouiit See About It. " Mr. Winter then recalled Hansen , and In redirect examination , interrogated him on the point of the police protection of which Norton hind boasted , Mr. Hansen said : On the day before Nebraska day Norton was asked if they were going to work. lie said : "If they don't , I'll sea about it. " Mr. ICeikennoy tried hard to shako the testinmony of the witmiess on this poInt , but hansen was not to be caught In any trap and reiterated several times that such had been the utterance of Norton in subslanc.e , 110 said he was quIte well satisfied as to what Norton had meant , seeing that there had been a great deal of talk about closing hmini lip. lie explained further : I think it was Burns who asked hIm , though I cannot say for sure. I knew what was meant by it because they , Kirschbaum , lwyr nail hums bail been working right along , Time conversation took place right in front of time bar at Norton's place. I made it known to Phillips and It was after that that he wont to work at 215 North Sixteeimtti , Again Phillips was put on time stand by Mr. Winter and his testimony became still more damaging to Norton anti time police. lie said he hind gone to work for Norton otter that because of this assurance of protection - tection , anti he related n conversation had with Norton , "Norton said the money had to go in so immany different directions , ' was the startling inormnation ( ho gave to the court , "dint it hail to go among a good many people. Once more Mr. Winter endeavored to have the court allow him to Produce testimony to show that the arrest by the police bail been because of the "pull" of Norton witn them ; that , to use Mr. VInter's words , "the irotecilon guaranteed is changed Into persecutIon - secutIon , if a man squeals , and every manner - nor of indirect intimidation was resorted to to prevent anyone froni exposing the hmrovalcnce of gambling. " lie would show that Nortoim had boasted of his connection with higher powers nail had therefore made uironmises of protection and Immunity , But stilt Judge Baxter felt conipelied to sustain Me , ICelkenney's objection unless Mr. Winter was able to connect Norton directly or in sonic satisfactory way with the mactb- oils resorted to by the polIce. Nortou Soul it , On cross'exampation Phillips tolil bow Norton had conic to make the statement about time "money having to go in so many diffcrat directions , " It was madq at the Iliac lie ( Phillips ) was running tIme game In the bhicksmnlthi ahop , and 'vita in the rooni over oron'l saioon In ttiepresenco of Rirsci1jjuip and , Uurqr , Another effort was made by Mr. Keikonney to eunice it appear , lust I'hilllpa bad seine animus agatnst Norton because norton had V - - not bailed him out whenhe was arrese4 at Norton's game. "Had he not promised to get you , out of jail if you go In ? " Mi' . Kelkenney asked A-Yes , Sir , Q-lliit he didn't do it ? A-so , sir. Q--'Stili you think he Is a pretty good fellow ? Adon't know anything about him hieing a good fellow. Phillips denied that he hail come bore by pro-arrangement to run the "pin. game. " A man named I1atlmawtt had been employed on the opposite watch at. the pin game in the blacksmith shop , Hathaway was working - ing at that before Phillips went there , Thmo prosecution had need of Burnett , tim South Omaha saloon maim , but , though he hind been subpoenaed , ho was not present. Judge Baxter signihicantiy asked Mr. Win- tcr if be wanted hinm rouglmt to the court. Mr. WInter said ho thought ho had enough testimony without , but. upon explaining the character of the testimony lie had expected Burnett to give , the defense showcil light and it was apparent that a continunnce of the case until next day was necessary , A brief statement was made by the attorney foe Norton , Mr. iCelkenney , in which he ndmitted that lie would submit the case without argument atid simply ask it reasonable - able bond until the matter would come up in the district court , i'hmis was taken to mean that the ( lefenso admitted that the evidence was stimcient to have Norton bound over , lii the Slierlff"i Charge , Time court then turned the two witnesses , Phillips and Ilnmmsemm , over to the custody of Sheriff McDonald. Ono reason given by Judgq Baxter for not allowing Me'Intcr : to make the damaging showing he hind threatened ngaimmst the io. lice was becnuso his province as an exanm- ining magistrate wits merely to ns crtain If there was probable cause of Norton's guilt sufficient. to hold him to the district court. and the acts .of the police were not materiatin , the preliminary hearing. When Phillips anti linnsemi are through giving. estnmony in the county court they will probibly be arTested by the police on warrants imurrledly made out yesterday nmorning charging them with vagrancy amid being suspicious characters , It was on these warrants that they wore to be held at time police station despite the fact that they vero wanted as witnesses in tIme county court , The verbal order for their appearance was disregarded by the police and only time peremptory subpoena from the county court caused their transfer to that court , It was with much reluctance that the mnen were sent to the county court yesterday afternoon - noon , When the time came for their transfer - fer they with three others were. filing inti the police court to answer to the charge of vagrancy. Hiul not the oillcer from the county court put in his appearance the mon would have been 1mm the midst of their hear- Ing. Ing.Time other mon arrested with Phillips and Hansen on suspicion of having been mph- cated In the street car holdup are men who are said to be gamblers and frequenters of Norton's place.
