F.ur Unrelated Witnesses Couti-adict the
PamaInz Testimony of George
Koc Asainst His Father.
Sieclal to TnE AstoriasJ
OrsTEitYn.i.n, Aug. 8, 1890.
At tlio evening session of tho su
perior court a good sized audience had
assembled to bear the evidence that was
supposed would conclude tho case
against JohnB. Eose, hut were disap
pointed. The court, lawyers and
spectators are cettincr tired, and
are longing for the case to ter
minate as soon as it can be
done in justice to tho prisoner and the
state. Tue defense has had. tour wit
ne&scs unon tho stand to-day, who
have testified with seeming truthful
ness on the question of alibi for this
prisoner. These witnesses are Mrs.
Smith, MissBellknap, Tom Brown and
Abel Darling. These witnesses are
opposed in testimony only by George
Rose, and none of them are related in
any way to John B.Bose, and can have
no possible motive for swearing to a
lie. The question resolves itself down
to this one proposition, that if JohnB.
llose was present at the killing of tho
Fredricksous, George Rose has made
a mistake in the date upon which the
crime was committed. But while this
is the case, it does not prove but what
John B. Rose was the instigator or ac
cessory after the fact The remarks
he has made at times since the trial
indicate beyond dispute that he has
had a knowledge of tho crimp either
before or since its commission. In
the light of tho testimony now in, it
looks as it the crime was committed
by George Rose and Edwards or
George Rose alone. Of course Gib
bons has not had his trial, but enough
can be proven to raise a question of
doubt as to his connection with the
crime. The attorneys in the case are
getting fretful and are ready to snap
at each other at any time.
JOHN n. EOSE
recalled: stated positively that he nev
er made the statement to Mr. Good
pasture that George had confessed
killing tho Fredericksons.
JUDGE HOI-COilB
recalled, stated the conversation he
had with George Rose in the court
house was made on tho 31st day of
March. Mr. Minton aud I came up
here. Laid to George I heard he had
made a confession; wanted to know
what it was. I said to him I did not
think that story was true.
JOHN WOODS
was again recalled and testified as fol
lews: The dirt was thrown on each
side of tho crave near the slouch. I
do not think the earth removed would
quarter fill the hole.
CKOSS-KXAMXXATIOX.
Do not thiuk there would be much
wash of this dirt by tho tide, as there
is considerable clay in the sou."
ATj. cjkeen
testified: I" Live at Sunshine. Am ac
quainted with Ed Gibbons aud George
Koso. ns iu company with them
from Bay Centre to Oysterville. Geo.
Rose said in my presenco and in the
presence of Turner that Gibbons was
innocent of this crime."
2. S. l'RICKKTT
recalled, states: " Georco Rose was
on the ranch and when I asked him
how the Dutchman's dog came there
he said the Fredricksous went on the
bay about two weeks ago on a stormy
Monday, and never came back.' About
three weeks ago in the presence of Tur
ner and Ward, George said the key to
Fredrickson's hoube was 4 in my vest
pocket at home,' and know Anderson
talked with him. Anderson said ho
had talked with George Rose here in
town.
CKOSS-EXAMns-ED.
Am living on Rose's place. Have
been a good mauy cattle killed there.
Have seen a good many bullet holes in
fences on tho farm. Have taken no
particular interest and got nothing for
my interest. Mr. Hardesty has ac
cused me of accepting bribe for evi
dence. There is no shot or knot holo
on the board in the pig piu where the
bullet hole is. Mr. Hardesty asked
me to bring tho board out of the door
but I forgot it

said.
PBOF. PBATT
recalled. Am acquainted with the
Rose ranch. The Fredricksou
house is about one-fourth milo from
the mud flat Could not see the Fred
rickson house in sailing on a lino
from South Bend to the Rose ranch,
only the roof of the building, while
sitting down in the boat I have been
to Fredrickson's house. Tho building
is on blocks about 4 feet high. From
tho channel cculd see nothing without
a glass.
OBOSS EXAMINATION.
From the channel to tho mud flats
is about three-fourths of a mile. I
found the tide marked logs up beyoud
the house. Do not know the -condition
of the tide when I was there.
It would make a difference about see
ing the building if it was a high or
low tide.
MB. snuiiES.

The state then introduced F. O.
Fredrickson, brother of Jens Fred-
nckson, who tostined as follews:
"I know John Rose. Got acquainted
with him on the boat, going to Port
land. At Portland wo met my
brother. A year afterward my brother
and mjbeif met Rose on tho Roso
ranch; we were looking for laud. Wo
went up to the front gate and Rose
came out and spoke and said it was too
late now. Mr. Green who brought us
over was leaving with tho boat Roso
said we could not stay all night and
called the man, Green, back to tako
us away.
CROSS-EXAMINED.
"I told Roso on tho boat that my
name was Fredrickson, not Smith. I
went by the namo of Frank Smith
while in the army. I joined the gov
ernment post at Astoria as John
Smith."
A. Iu GREEN
was the next witness called: "I know
John B. Ro3e and Jens Fredrickson.
I was with them when they were to
gether at Ilwaco and wanted to get to
Shoalwater bay. They met at the
Rose ranch. Afterwards Jens Fred,
rickson shook hands with John Rose.
This was about seven years ago.
Tho cross-examination revealed tho
fact that witness was under the in
fluence of liquor when he remembered
this occurrence and told Hardesty of
it last joight, but said, "My mind was
as good to remember as it is this
morning."
ANDERSON BEOAIjIiED:

A. G. Hardesty opened the argu
ment for the state. Ho stated that he
never felt so embarrassed in the long
veara of his oractico as upon this occa
sion, as he was prosecuting an old
gray-haired man ana an oiu citizen or
Pacific county. He said tho prisoner's
face indicated his innocence.
Hardesty's speech occupied about
two hours, and he argued his case in a
masterly way, bringing out the details

Special to The Astouian.1
Albuquerque, N. M., Aug. 9. A
gang of midnight marauders, styling
themselves White Caps, are terroriz
ing San Migual and Santa Fo
counties with their depredations.
Yesterday they compelled all the em
ployees in the coal chutes and on the
section at Wallace, on the Santa Fe
road just above this city, to strike for
8L50 per day. Tho superintendent
granted their demands and they were
so elated over their success that they
struck again before going to work for
$2 per day. Men were sent from here
to fill their places at 31.50 per day.
Tho strike is still on at other places.
It is openly asserted that the White

have been received here this morning
to the effect that the temperature in
Minnesota fell last night to 30 above

Special by Tho Uxrrro Psrs3
New. York, Aug. 9 Despite the
denial of tho officials, the wholo New
York Central system is practically
tied up by tho strike, and the struggle
promises to be long and bitter, as both
sides are stubbornly determined not
to give in. Every Knight of Labor
employed in running the trains has
quit work and the whole lino between
this city and Buffalo is strown with
abandoned freight and passenger
trains. The commerce of tho state
and -country is in danger of being
paralyzed, as tho strikers will leave no
stones unturned to carry their point
In fact the leaders of the strike inti
mate that they will tie up every road
in the state before to-morrow night.
unless their demands aro complied
with, on the other side. Vanderbilt
is said to have issued an order to presi
dent Webb to crush out the strikers,
oven if it cost a million dollars. Many
thousands of train men, switchmen
and yard men are not in the
freight and passenger jards of
tho Now York Central in
tliis city. They say they
will extend the war to the West Shore,
tho Harlem Road, Lake Shore &
Nickel Plate if they are not met ami
cably. Hundreds of thousands of
tons of freight nro completely block
aded, and passenger traffic is greatly
delayed. Tho Blrikers so far have re
frained from acts of violence, and
have beeu given permission to work
in order to save perishable freight
Tho officers of tho road, however, have
taken measures to protect the men
they have hired, and have 200 police
reserves scattered about the Central
depot and yards ready for an emer
gency. A report comes from Albany
that tho militia has been ordered to
be held in readiness for active duty.
Tho strike is already being seriously
felt in this city. The wholesale price
of milk has advanced from $1.37 to S2
per can, and many people have been
forced to fall back on the condensed
articla Many trainloads of meat in
refrigerator cars are reported stand
ing on the tracks between this city
and Albany. Most of tho butchers
have supplies enough to last to-day.
THE CENTRAL TIE-UP.
"Western Traffic Interrupted.
Special to The Astobian.
New York, Aug. 9. The tie-up on
the Central road has delayed through
mail from San Francisco. This is one
of the largest and most important
mails that arrive here. It was due at
12:15 this morning, but had not
reached hero up to noon. It is feared
the lio-up will interfere with the
prompt distribution of tho California
fruits on route to New England points,
but the Now York and New Haven
road which connects here with all the
western roads directly or by ferry,
luckily, has a side line from Harlem,
which does not depend on its connec
tion with tho Central, and freights are
moving by that lino to New England,
though with some interruption, while
the passenger traffic to New England
is still largely suffering from tho in
terference.
Theemplojesof the New York and
New Haven road say that they are not
in sympathy with the tie-up, so, prob
ably, California fruits by this lino will
go forward fairly well. Tho weather
is cool, which is a favorable condition
under the circumstances.

E. J. Lee this afternoon said if tho
Central shipped live stock and other
perishable goods over the West Shore
road in any considerable quantity, he

that road in two. Tho situation of the
strikers here is more firm- than last

engineers and a few firemen. The
only train arriving from tho south this
morning was the newspaper express
from New York an hour late. The
western trams came before noon
mostly.
The mail and baggage cars are still
here. On the first western train was
attached a passenger coach, having on
board General Alger and a party on
tho way . to tho G. A. R. encampment
at Boston. Only one train has started
for the south. It was made up of
mail cars and two passenger coaches.
The strikers, .when this train was
about to be switched over the bndgo
across the river, refused to let the
switch be set properly, and tho police
had to be called on to disperse them.
The tram moved out, but the strikers
said it would not get far. It is said
that tho West Shore omployes will go
out before to-morrow. Over 1,000
men employed in the car shops went

CALIFORNIA OPINION.
Oregon Should Have a Recount.
Special to TnR Astoeian.1
San Francisco, Aug. 9. Tho Ex
aminer to-uay says:
"Oregon appears to have juster
cause for complaint against tho cen
sus than almost any other part of tho
Union. Althogh Mr. Porter's cohorts
have succeeded in incurring a copious
supply of objurgation almost every
where, it seems that the enumerators
have been able to discover only 261,-2-12
Oregonians, while "Washington has
turned in 339,000 people. Judging
from the vote and other indications,
tho probabilities are that tho popula
tion of the two states is abont equal.
In that case, either the enumerators
have overlooked 73,000 in one case or
they have created that number in tho
other.
Practical results is as the Portland
chamber of commerce points out, that
while Washington will get two repre
sentatives in congress, Oregon may
have to be contented with one, a most
miserable ratio, for tho new appor
tionment will bo ono member to 180,
000 persons. At that rate, with 270,-
UUU people sho might get an extra re
presentative, but ono with only 264,000
would be likely to go without. "With
a recount, Oregon could certainly
scrape up a trifle over 6,000 more in
habitants.

mistake. Ho says thero is ono here,
and that tho executive board is now

such an order would cause an imme
diate strike. "Word comes from East
Syracuse at 5 p. ir. to-day that the
yardmaster thero had requested three
stock trains to be taken back to Os
wego Junction, but the strickers re
fused to comply with the request.

EFFECTS OF THE SILVEJi HILL.
Special by The Uxitm Press.
New York, Aug. 9. Tho Mail and
Express (Republican), which pays par
ticular attention to "Wall street doings,
has an editorial on the effects of the
silver bill. It says tho United States
lias for years been playing into tho
hands of Great Britain, which, being
the largest silver buyer in the world.
has had a very strong interest in mak
ing gold as dear as possible and hold
ing on to it. As long as we are buy
ing two million ounces of silver a
month, tho treasury was, per force, a
seller of gold, and in this attempt had
the cordial co-operation of Great Brit-
am. JNow tnat we begin to buy more
than twice as much the position is
changed and Great Britain is a com
petitor at a great disadvantage. For
many years the farmers of the "United
States have been selling their wheat
for gold in competition with wheat of
India which was bought with silver.
Tho British importer bought silver
with his gold and exchanged it for
Indian wheat. The prico rose to a
point at which it became cheaper to
pay for American wheat with gold.
Now that silver has risen and has
regained in seven months what it lost
in seven years, the prico of Indian
wheat is advanced just that mnch and
is handicapped by that percentage in
competition with American wheat. A
very considerable percentage of in
crease in tho price of wheat to-day is
due, not to fears of a short crop, but
to the fact that Englishmen find In
dian wheat virtually advanced more
than half way to parity- with Amer
