Although the plaza of Union Square was packed with thousands while Bundreds passed and repassed in Broadway and Fourth avenue, there was almost perfect order when the} Industrial Workers of the World-| Anarchist demonstration began this afternoon. Alexander Berkman pre- eided, and none questione! his right to do so, though before the meeting there had been promise of trouble in the selection of a leader, Lincoln Steffens of the Free Speech League had said that he hadn't made up his mind who would preside and Leonard Abbott of the Ferrer School had said just as earnestly that HE Badn't. Berkman had declared with- out hesitation that the post of honor should be his and so it was. Long before the meeting the plaza Bad filled with curious folk and there Was no room to move when Berkman began to speak from a small portable platform which had been brought from the Ferrer sof tho failure of the promoters the meeting to get a permit from the Park Department to employ the porch of the cottage which faces the Plaza from the south. This was used by the police. Chief Inspector Max Schmittberger b- @shed headquarters there and ovca- Bionally uniformed men carrie ports to him, Ie kept himself as lit- tle in evidence as possible, and the few uniformed men who were posted fn the square concealed their night- eticks as well as they could beneath their service overcoats.

The passenger who caused the trouble was Abram Sabah, a Syrian.

Before Justice Goff this afternoon lawyers for the four condemned gunmen produced two new witnesses to help prop their last attempt to get a new trial and stay the execution set for Monday. Karl Dresner of No. 147 East Fifty-fifth street swore he saw Webber, Vallon and Schepps Burwell of Waterbury, Conn., said he saw the actual shooting. A great crowd jammed in the court room to hear the final plea. The wives of two of the gunmen and the mother Under District-Attorney Whitman's relentless battering, Dreen + er, undersized, familiar type of the cast side, wavered perceptibly as pep: ‘*’ Club and saw the gray car pase, He “had an idea” that he reached his home near Lexin; first streot before 2 A.

It was evidently the Prosecutors aim to show that Dresner saw the gray car on this occasion and not after the shooting. . KEPT QUIET IN FEAR OF BEING KILLEO, Dresner speaks Engliah with the German formula, using “should” and “shall for the past tense, He wore _ & blue suit and white vest. He ham | blond hair which ts sparse on the top of his high forebead. Although he insisted that fear of death and the dread of being “croaked,” even on the steps of the Criminal Courts Building, deterred him from coming to the front before to-day, he quite nimbly fenced with the District-At- torney, whom he invarisbly desig- nated as “Your Honor." When pressed down to definite statements made in his affidavit, upon which the motion for a new trial for the gunmen was granted, Dres- ner pleaded that he did not have a watch and did not keep track of the minutos exactly. The impression of rellability which he created under Judge Wahle's direct examination was considerably shaken, During the long interrogation of the witness the two wives sat reat- leasly In their seats. Mrs. Rosenberg, always full of animation, leaned for- ward repeatedly, but her big blue eyes found little hope in the disturbed story of Dresner. Mrs. Horowits leaned back in her seat and made ne effort to see over the heads of the spectators who sat in front of her, Judge Wahble opened bis appeal wy relating what has already been pub- ished In reference to the contention of “Dago Frank” that he was nowhere near the acene when Rosenthal was shot. Then he took up the affidavits made by William Burwell of Water- bury, Conn, the billard player, and” Karl Dresner, the bartender. District- Attorney Whitman, who sat beside Judge Wahle, was another keen Het- ener to the plea and the leng reettal. Taem Karl Dresner was called
