Therefore, we insist that th shall pany discharge any man we see fit to xpel from our union. Then, on the other hand, we do not intend | to let he co; man suffer the loss of time while be present and face the accused. That seems only just tv us, and we think the public will see It in the same light Now, we wish to say that the company has the right to disch any man whom they have enough evidence against, but w m seeing the evide That ‘is so be number of our men have been discharged | whom we do not believe should have been, nd the company has absolutely refused to give any satistac asons for dotng.

The charges of unofficerlike conduct against Corporal Fred Green were dis- missed, the complainant having left town, and it is understood that before his de- parture he attempted to ‘square” the case with the officer for $10.

Dimmick made considerable progress | yesterday in forging an Incriminating chain of circumstantial evidence Lround the defendant. Silas Ellis, thefvatch- man who was on duty on that night in March when it is belleved that the $30,- 000 in gold coin disappeared from" the Mint, told how he saw Dimmick, in the dead of night stealing from the receiving room, carrying in his hands two bags which he supposed were filled with coin. He described how he saw Dimmick enter the superintendent's office with the two bags and later come out carrying a dress suit case and leave the Mint. The courtroom was crowded during the time Ellis was giving his testi- mony. The crowd that filled the courtroom had come in the expectation that the prosecution jwould introduce the two m: terious women who are to testify regard- ing Dimmick’s -moral character, but In this they were disappointed. The testi- | mony that was given, however, was by far the most interesting and strongest since the trial has commenced. While Mr. on the stand Dimmick did not for a moment take his eyes from the face of the witness. Mrs. Dimmick, who has been a constant attendant at the tridl since its comméncment, was present. She was accompanied by several other women who sat behind her husband. Ellis was not called to the stand until | late in the afternoon and he was still | testifying when the court adjourned. | During the direct examination he said that he became watchman at the Mint in January of 1398. When the shortage was discovered in 1991 he said that he was on the shift from midnight to six in the morning and that his station was in the basement. He testified that he was ac- customed to arrive at the Mint from his home in Oakland at 11:30 or twenty min- utes to twelve. VISITED MINT AT NIGHT. “I call your attention,” said Attorney Dunne, “to the evening of March 18, 1901, and ask you what time you arrived at the Mint on that night?” “I reached the Mint on that night at twenty-five minutes to twelve,” replied the witness. “What did you do when you arrived there?"” “I started to enter the chief clerk’s room to warm myseif by the fire. I found that the door was locked and was told that the chief clerk was in. T took a seat in the corridor to wait until it was time for me to go on watch."” “Was there any one else in the corridor with you?” Mr. Decker, Mr. Healey and Mr. 1t were all waiting there. They. however, were not seated in the same place that 1 was, and consequently they could not see down the corridor to the receiving room as I could.” “Did anything occur while you were seated there to attract your attention?”’ “I heard a noise in the cashier’s room and I also heard a noise in the receiving room. These noises sounded as if some one had struck his toe against a chair, had snapped a lock and had jumped over one of the counters in the receiving room.” “What else did you hear or see?” Imost immediately after the noise the door of the receiving room opened and Dimmick, the chief clerk, stepped out. He was carrying something white in his hands.” “What was the something white?” ‘It was two bags. He walked the corri- dor holding the bags with one hand on top and one hand below and entered the superintendent’s office.” ‘“‘After this did you see anything more of Dimmick that night?” “I did.
