BROWNSVILLE, Tex., .Tan. 8.—'The
Federal Court room this morning, when
the trial against those charged with vl<>-
latlug the neutrality laws, was resumed,
resembled an army commissary rather
than a hall of Justice. During the night
the alleged contraband seized by the Fed-
eral officers at Laredo and later shipped
here to be used In evidence, had been un
packed end taken to the courtroom. Great
plies of saddles, saddle pads, blankets
belts, arms, ammunition, telephone appa- j
ratus, field glasses, bombs, etc., all lagged j
for Identification were to be seen both in ,
side and outside the railing.
Today was spent chiefly in the introduc- '
tlon of character evldeuce in establishing
the fact that the goods on display had
been seized by the officers in the dis-
charge of their duty and identifyiug the
particular seizures made by the witnesses
called.
SHIPMENT OF SADDLES TRACED.
A shipment of saddles addressed to A
Magnon at Laredo was traced by wit-
nesses from the time of Its purchase of a
company in San Antonio to be delivered to
a small Mexican boy at Laredo. M. \I.
Matson, clerk for the International «Sr
Great Northern at Laredo, told of deliver-
ing the goods to the boy, and his testi-
mony was corroborated by F. L. Lancas-
ler, a special agent for the government. A
.small Mexican boy identified by Matsoo
, and Lancaster as being the boy to whom
j the goods were delivered, was put on the
stand, but denied emphatically having re
ceived such a shipment. The two wlt-
| nesses were recalled and corroborated their
identification.
Probably the most important piece of
evidence Introduced was a book seized by
A. J. Barthelow, deputy marshal at La-
redo. but Its contents were not read. Dis-
trict Attorney Lock Mc Daniel told ths
Jury, however, the book would show the
organization of the followers of Bernardo
Reyes, giving names, locations, etc., and
would Identify many of the defendants
with the proposed revolution. He Instruct
ed the jury to consider the book carefully
This book was seized in a room in a hotel
in Laredo.
ARMY OFFICERS TESTIFY.
Two of the chief witnesses of the day
were MaJ. Charles B. Ilogadorn and Lieut.
C. 8. Hoffman of Fort Mcintosh, who told
of arresting a number of the defendants
aud of seizing from them son.e of the
goods on display.
Other witnesses were H. H. Jeffries
customs Inspector at Laredo; Sam Mc
Ivenzie, ranger; M. G. Delluig, Immigra-
tion agent at Laredo; W. L. Holder, agent
