argued some questions of law to the court.
At tho beginning of his argument Mr.
Ritchie said ho would not know until the
beginning of the afternoon session whether i
they would put Crowe on the stand or not. I
If they did not. he said, there would be no
more witnesses for the defense.
Expecting the letter would lie read In
court, an eager crowd was present when
court was called to order. Judge Sutton
nt onee announced his decision to over
rule the objections and admit the com
munication. ''
Objections of Defease.
"I have endeavored as best I could." he
said, "to Investigate the udmtsHihillty of

In discussing the admissibility " of the
signatures of Crowe attached to the re
ceipt for his effects given at the police
station at d to an affidavit filed In a previ
ous case. Judge Sutton said ho would ad
mit the receipt because It was not a docu
ment required by law. Crowe, he said,
could have secured his effects through an
agent or attorney without signing his name
or he could have resorted to replevin pro
ceedings. In regard to the affidavit, the
court was not so sure. He therefore an
nounced ho would give the defendant the
benefit of the doubt and. rule the affidavit
out. He gave instructions that all the evi
dence concerning the affidavit should be
stricken from the 'files and disregarded by
the Jury.
Crowe Alts with Face Down.
During the reading of the letter to the
jury the defendant sat with his eyes down
cast and his head resting on his hand. Ito
appeared to be affected by certain passages
relating to his desire to reform and refer
ence to his purents, but did not exhibit the
emotion he showed Tuesday during the
reading of these parts 'by Mr. Ritchie.
When Mr. Fitch nad concluded, tho hum- of
conversation among tho spectators was so
loud the bailiffs had to rap for order. Tho
original letter and the receipt which bud
been admitted werf passed around to (he
Jury for comparison. '
At 10:20 Mr. Slabaugh announced the state
would rest, but Mr." Ritchie raised objec
tions, saying he wanted another oppor
tunity to cross-examine Frank Glynn.
Olynn was called and in reply to a question
said Friday of last week before he had
testified he had been in the Diamond sa
loon at 1313 Douglas street. There he had
met Matt Rutheford arid several other men
whose names he did not know and they had
conversed about the case. . .
"Did you not say tu the presence of Mr.
Rutheford that the man who came to the
livery barn and used the telephone was not
Pat Crowe, but Callahan?" Rfked Mr.
Ritchie.
"No, sir."
, "Did you not say you went to Pacific
Junction and around with the detectives
for the money or 'cash' there was In It?"
"No, sir."
"Did you not say you were for Pat Crowe
and would swear It was not Pat Crowe, but
Callahan, that came to the barn?"
"No, sir."' .
Mabnnah Rests His Case.
Rutheford, he said, asked him how he
happened to b around the place and he
replied he was going to testify and the
conversation about 'the case started. After
he had left the stand Mr. Ritchie insisted
that the state call Mrs. James Schneider
winH but 'Mr.' Slabaugh refused and an
nounced he would rest the caso.
Tim defense immediately called Mi's.
Sclineiderwind as the first witness. She
said she and her husband were the owners
of the Graver street houso und she had
rented the pluce to the aliened kidnapper.
"Ixok at this defendant here. Was he
the man yon rented the house to?" Mr.
Ritchie asked.
"No sir, he is not the man."
"Mr. Ritchie showed her the photographs
of Crowe used by the state to Identify the
defendant, hut she said she could not tell
whether they were pictures of the man

or not as she did not have her spectacles
with her. For the same reason she could
not tell whether she had ever seen them
before or not.
Ritchie Rebuked b Court.
Judge Sutton administered a rebuke to
Mr. Ritchie while she was on the stand.
When Bhe declared Crowe was not the man
who rented the property Mr. Ritchie looked
over toward Mr. Slabaugh and asked tri
umphantly, "Now how do you like that?
You don't seem to like It, do you?" Here
the spectators laughed.
"Now Mr. Ritchie,!.' said Judge Siftton
Interrupting the attorney, "this case will
have to be tried the way It ought to be or
the court will have to make Inquiry us to
why It is not. It can't bo made a show for
the entertainment of tho public".
Matt Rutheford. a bartender; Walter rat
ten and Haxen If. Ilunklns, a I'nlon'ru
cic stenographer, were placed on the stand
and testified they were In the Diamond
saloon and heard Glynn say In reply to a
question by Rutheford that he was for
Crowe and he would testify that It was not
Crowe who camo to tho barn. They all
testified he also said he went around with
the detectives for the money there was in
It. The evidence was offered to impeach
Glynn's testimony, which was to the effect
that It was Crowe who called nt the barn
the morning after the kidnaping and called
up Mr. Cudahy by telephone.
After Mr. Hunklns had left the stand
Mr. English offered In evidence the' com
plete record of the Callahan trial, but
the court sustained the objections of the
state to Its admission.
The Jury then retired and Mr. Ritchie
began arguments to the court on the In
structions he wished to have the court
give to the Jury nt the conclusion of the
case. He contended the court should ad
vise the Jury that the securing of money
by putting In fear of a third party did not
constitute robbery.
Crowe Does ot Test If .
The announcement made' hy Mr. Ritchie
at the beginning of the, afternoon session
that the defense would not put Pat Crowe
on the stand and would rest the case as
far as evidence was concerned, disappointed
the record-breaking crowd that was In the
room In hopes of hearing the defendant.
The Jury remained out of the court room
while the arguments on the Instructions
asked for by the counsel were heard by the
court. Mr. Ritchie asked the court to in.
struct as to the slight value to be given
confessions unless corroborated and to the
testimony of police officers.
Mr. Slabaugh and Mr. Fitch both re
sponded principally on the question of
whether the crime proved constituted a
technical offense of robbery or not. Be
sides citing a number of authorities Mr. i
Slabaugh contended that question had been
decided twice, once In the Callaliuu rnu,..
case and once in the trial of Callahan for i
perjury. The arguments closed at 3:30
o'clock and the Jury was summoned. As
soon as the twelve men had filed Into the
room and taken their seats Deputy County
Attorney Fitch began his argument.
Fitch Opens tmuinenl.
He stated at the outset that the state
was charged with proving first, a crime had
been committed, and second, that Pat
Crowe had committed the crime. He spent
little time In preliminary remarks, but took
up at once the story of the alleged crime
as told by Eddie C.idahy. He asked the
Jury to note particularly young Cudahy's
description of the gasoline stove with the
sc roll work and an X-shaped figure at the
end. two burners, a red tank and a drip
ping pan near the floor, which lie had seen
while a captive. He then turned his atten
tion to the testimony of the elder Cudahy
to show that, fear for the safety of his son
prompted him to give, up the money.
He dramatically recited the fact of the
letter being picked up In the Cudahy front
yard und declared that fear and anxiety
were liun by Mr. Cudahy's refusal to
listen to the advice of Chief, Donahue and
General Cowln not' to comply with the de
mands of the letter. He reviewed in some
detail the getting of the gold fiom the bank
and traced its course from th. time Mr
Wullace turned it over to Mr. Sears until
it was deposited by the side of the lantern
on the Center street road, according to the
testimony of Mr. McGrath. The testimony
of Mr. Cudahy. he said, was corroborated
by that of William Wohlers, who met the
Cudahy buggy returning rrom Paddock's
grove and by the story of the Bick boys
who found the lantern with the black rib
bon attached to It the next morning. Me
said there was not a witness to throw
I doubt upon the story,
j Crowe's Alleavrf (oaaecWuu.
I He afterward took up Ciow.i. alleged
' connection with the kidnaping er.d pointed
cut he had been Identified as one of the
two men who hud rented the cottage In
Happy Hollow, which was abandoned after
Jhe police had raided It. The other man,
he said, had been shown to be Callahan!
People living about the cottage on Orover
street bad Identified him as one of the men
Been around there Just before the kidnap.
Ing. Callahan, he asserted, had been shown
to be the other mau. He then discussed the
testimony of Mrs. Lena Wrleth. who lived
near Mrs. Kelly's house. Bhe had teat tried
. that Crowa m the man who called fr
I ajuontly tu see Callahan under the nam
of Johnson. John C. Rsbbe, he said, bad
also testified that Andrew Crowe bad
pointed out the defendant as his brother
Pat and that the witness had known him
previously as Johnson. Mr. Fitch spent
some time on the evldenco Intended to show
the Orover street house was the place
where young Cudahy was kept and rend In
detail from the evidence of witnesses to
the occurrences of that night. Munshaw,
he said, had seen two men go from a
buggy In front of the house up the steps
of the house and had Identified the de
fendant as one of the men he had seen
about the place a few days before.
House lard that Meat.
He also caned attention to tue testimony
of the other witnesses showing the house
hid been used that night and the day fol
lowing. The finding of cigarette stubs in
the house, the gasoline' stove answering
to the description given by young Cudahy,
the water bucket apct coffee grounds ami
sugar spilled on tho floor showed, he said,
that It was the house used by the kid
napers. The gnsollnc stove nnd the bucket.
he said, answered to the description of the
articles found in the Happy Hollow house
by the police In the raid two weeks be
fore the kidnaping and Crowe had been
Identified by two wltnpsses as one of the
men who had rented that house..
He then went Into detail about the testi
mony tending to connect Crowe with the
pony which was seen In front of the Gro
ver street house, according to the testl
mony and which was ridden up to the
Glynn livery stable by a man. identified
as Crowe, who called ud the Cudahy rest
dence, according to the statements of tho
Glynns, and was found at Pacific Junction
a day or two after the kidnaping.
Mr. Fitch was still talking at 6 o'clock
and, as he said he wanted at least a half
an hour longer, an adjournment was taken
until 9:30 this morning.
Mr. Fitch will be followed by Mr. Eng
lish and Mr. Ritchie for the defense and
County Attorney Slabaugh will close the
argument. The addresses of the lawyers
probably will take up the entire day to
day and tho case may not be given to the
Jury until late this afternoon.

PITTSHLRU. Fob. 14.-Tlie Pittsburg
district miners resssembled today with
President Patrick Dolan presiding. Na
tional I"resl(lent Lewis read a letter from
President Mitchell to the delegates. Ill
this letter Mr. Mitchell deals with existing
controversies, and says:
The question Involved, Is, has the regular
district convention of the mine workers
authority to impeach and remove any offi
cial of district organization who has been
charged witn malfeasance In office?
Tho president of the district alleges that
Inasmuch as he was elected by a popular
vote of tho miners of the district he cnnot
be removed from otttce except hy the same
power. I hold that a regular district con
vention has full power to Impeach and
remove from office any otrldal who may
be charged wltn neglect of uuty, diso
bedience in office or violation 9f instruc
tions. Entertaining these views as to the power
of the district convention, 1 have no other
choice than to decide in accordance there
with. It Is not my intention at this time to
make reply to the statement Issued al
though not written by Mr. Dolan, which
appeared In the papers, more than to say
tuat his allegation, that 1 said to him
during tho Pittsburg convention of the
American Federation of Laibor that I
should be satisfied with a renewal of the
present agreement. Is a deliberate, mali
cious and premeditated falsehood.
Made Xo Statement.
No such statement was made by me to him
at Pittsburg or anywhere else. If I had ever
entertained a sentiment In favor of the re
newal of the present agreement I should
have communicated that fact to my col
lesgueti in the International office or to the
members of the international executive
board. I certainly should not have gone
to Pittsburg and divulged my feelings to
one who has for years been unfriendly to
my administration. Since tho adjournment
of the international convention 1 have re
frained studiously from discussing publicly
the e.ffalrs of the organization and have
allowed to pass unchallenged many asper
sions and reflections upon myself. It is my
intention, however, at the proper time and
In the proper place to reply to all of these.
(Signed) JOHN MITCHEL.L.
At the close of the letter a motion was
made requesting the reading of the minutes
of last Saturday's session. The minutes
were read and a resolution was unani
mously passed not approving the portion
containing the report of the tellers which
showed President Dolan and Vice Presi
dent Rellinghnm's election by the miners.
The convention then adjourned to allow
the delegates and officers to attend the final
hearing In court on the temporary Injunc
tion secured Inst week by President Dolan
against the delegates, restraining them from
interfering with bis powers as president.
The hearing on the injunction was post
poned Indefinitely at 8:30 o'clock this after
noon, following a conference between coun
sel for the litigants. It was ii greed before
the court that either side may go Into court
any time In the future and request a hear
ing and that during the remaining sessions
of the convention parliamentary rules were
to be observed. The temporary Injunction
is still effective.
It was stated here tonight that John
Mitchell, president of the I'nited Mine
Workers, has called a special session of the
national executive board to take place In
Indianapolis early In March. Developments
In tho anthracite and bituminous coal fields
since the adjournment of the Interstate
conference will be reviewed. The board will
decide whether to call another convention
of the miners or to issue this ultimatum:
"An advance In wages or strike."

LINING UP ON HEPBURN BILL
Senate Committee Bpsnds Day in Discuss
ing Amendment!.
COURT REVIEWS BONE OF CONTENTION
Friends of Mensnre Are Kendy to
Report It Without Amendment
Opposition Claims Majority
of Committee.
WASHINGTON, Ftb. 14. In the senate
committee on Interstate commerce the line
between the faction which advocates the
parsage of the house bill and tho faction
contending for the court rev-lew feature has
been drawn so taut that all thought of
compromise has been abandoned. All con
ferences today were between senators
thoroughly harmonised for one position or
the other nnd have been for the purpose
of lining up for a passage at arms. Nearly
10U amendments to the house bill are pend
ing before the committee and nearly a
score of these bear on the Judicial review
of orders made by the Interstate Commerce
commission. If many of these amendments
are contended for with stubbornness, a
vote on the bill Itself may be delayed for
Severn! days, despite the agreement In
committee that a vote shall be taken Fri
day. It Is not Improbable that both fac
tions may be willing to transfer the con
teat to tho floor of the senate and that
no roll call will be had in the committee.
Poll I ver Stands Pat.
If outward appearances may be believed
In the face of the manipulations to corner
votes, the Hepburn bill cannot be taken
from the committee by a majority vote.
This Is not conceded by Senators Dolllver
and Clapp. although they admitted today
that they have not majority or the com
mittee votes corralled for the house bill In
its present fbrrrt." They asserted, how
ever, that they will not accept an amend
ment of any charactcv ' specifically pro
viding for Judicial review of the orders of
the commission and that they will bring
out a minority report, if a majority of
the committee cannot be secured. On the
other baud. Senators Aldrlch. Koraker,
Elklns. Iveali und Crane, the leader of
the faction demanding less radical legisla
tion, insist that ' they have enough votes
In tho committee to amend the bill. They
say. nevertheless, that they do not propose
to substitute a measure for the house hill
nor to adopt ah amendment which would
delay an order from the commission from
becoming effective.
Sltatnt Force Injuucllous.
I'nder the Hepburn bill It Is provided that
an order of the commission shall go Into
effect within thirty Cays. They say that
while it la not contemplated that a law
shall be passed which shall take away
the right of common carriers to apply for
an Injunction on the ground that the rate
fixed is confiscatory, the thirty-day provi
sion wilt have the effect of forcing in
junctions, as this limited time will not per
mit of a review hat wo.ild determine
whether tie order is confiscatory.
These senators ure contending for un
amendment that would correct what they
would term un Injustice, but insist that
they are not holding out for any particular
phraseology. Having ascertained that an
amendment of that purpose, no matter
how worded, will not be accepted by sup
porters of the Hepburn bill, It was agreed
today that con'crcnces between the two
factions are a waste of time.
Friends of tlie house bill say they are
ready tity a vole on the bill Itself, but it

cannot be said Just how great Is their
strength.
Conservative forces expect to reach an
agreement tomorrow. Tho abandonment of
attempts to compromise will hasten an
agreement on a court review feature. Sen
ator Elklns today proposed such an amend
ment in the committee and It was dis
cussed for some time and passed over to
Join a dosen or more others on the ssme
