The Haddock Muarder Trial, Stovx Ciry, I, April ‘The defense is sending in evidence of a very positive aracter in the Arensdorf trial to-day, and it is startling, if true, and very bold, if false. John Diedrich, who boards at the Milwaukee house, kept by Paul Leader, one of the defendants, swears point blank that Bis- marck was not at the seene of the murder at all. He was with him when the shot was fired two blocks away. Swan Alexander testitied that he was west of the brewery about 200 feet when the shot was fired and could see no one run in the direc- tion of the brewery from across the bridge. J. C. Peterson swol saw the shooting and the man who did it wore a long rubber coat, & straw hat, and ran north no Water street. Lhe same witness was brought from his home in Norfolk last November by Marshal Bhanley and then stated that the man who fired the shot was & lheavy set man and after the shooting ran across the bridge to the brewery accompanied by another man. His testimony this morning was a complete surprise to the state and they were not in a position to cross-examine the wit- ness. They asked for an adjournment till after dinner and the court adjourned till 2 o'clock " T'he afternoon has been consumed in the Haddock case by the eross-examination of J. s Juhl, in which he has made y ory statements that the weivht of his evidence is badly broken. He made and swore to several statements con- cerning his knowledge of the case at various times since it occurred and to-day denied making each one of them as they were exhib- dted to him. Then he admitted signing them, but claimed he was foseed to do so and that he did not swear them. Twoother witnesses were examined just before the court ad- journed, but no material facts were devel- oped.

Thiese, however, were so trifling that they could be easily settled by the agents, The general passeneer agent of the nta Fe rond and the gzeneral eastorn agent of the Southern Pacific also stated that the new law was working evenly, ‘Ilie new rates liave been posted in the depots, according to thie law, and the traveling public could see atonce what the various classilications are. ‘The abolition of the free pass system is favorably received by that portion of the public that did not come under the privileges of the dead-head rule, now ¢ 3 PENNSYLVANIA'S WESTERN PiirsBURG, « April 5. the Pennsylvania comvany stated to-da the impression that the eastern traffic asso- ciations had boycotted twenty-nine western railtonds was erroneons.
