Robert Kershaw, fcr the prosecution took the stand this morniug. Witness was in Beaver city when the train of emigrants who were massacred at Mountain Meadow passed through. They en- deavored to purchase supplieB but their applications were generally refused. John Morgan, a "Mormon," sold them some cheeso, and two weeks afterwards was cut off the church. One of the emigrants named Mathews loaned Col. Dame mules to go to the Meadow, Dame saying that he was going to save the emigrants. A few days after the massacre witness started to California, and passing through the Meadow early one morning, saw several naked bodies lying by the roadside. James Pearce sworn; At the time of the massacre was 14 years of age; with others went to tbe Meadows, but did not knew at the time for what purpose he went, nor why; there was considerable talk among the people in .regard to the emigrants; some said that the emigrants were talking of bringing soldiers from California to kill the "Mormons." Witness heard people talk of killing the emigrants, others spoke of arresting tham. Witness was at the Meadow two days', and during that time there was muoh of the kind of talk above mentioned. He did not participate in the killing, and did not know who the guilty ones were. Before the massacre witness sickened and remained in camp, but his comrades took their guns and Boon after witness heard firing. Next learned that the emigrants bad all been killed. Thompson, of Beaver, testified that he saw the train pass through that town. At a meeting. a letter was read telling the people net to sell the emigrants any provisions, as Johnstone's army was coming and no erepe might be raised for a couple of years, in which tase the people would need all of their breadstuff's. John MeFarlane, surveyor of Washington county, testified simply to the fact that Mountain Meadow was in that , county. Frank Ring testified that he traveled some distance with the emigrants. The train consisted of from twenty. five to thirty wagons, and a drove of loose cattle. Isaac Riddle, was living in Pine Valmiles from tbe Meadow, ley, twenty-tw- o in September, 1857; came to Cedar with a grist to the mill, while tbe emigrants were camped in the Meadow; saw Haight in Cedar, who told him there was a difficulty with tbe Indians, and be had bet. ter go back; left his wife, mounted borso and rode home; went pait of the way with the men from Cedar going to the massacre. William Roberts heard W. II. Dame preach at Parowan and tell the people not to furnish the emigrants previsions; had a conversation with Lee, who took witness for another man of the same name, who had been talking about and blaming him for his participation fn the massacre; Lee said what he did was done under orders, and that they were bad men, they had murdered the prophets, or me of them barf. ' The proseention announced that they would rest. Hoge, for the defense, moved a continuance till morning. The prosecution made no objection, reserving the right to introduce one or two witnesses that werr expected Sutherland produced a telegraphic affidavit from the physision of 15. Young and U. A. Smith, declaring that they were too feeble to travel, and offering to pay for a telegram to engage counsel for government at Salt Lake, and their fees, so that depositions might be taken. The court refused on the same grounds as before. The searoh of Lee's cell by the marshal discovered a knife, saw, file. butcher knife, batobet, twenty feet of rope, and a complete outfit for escape. ill-fate- d .... : SKC03ID I The finding of DZBFATCH. y : .

'75. : In answer to your inquiry yesterdar in relation to the complaint of the Evan ton Age that the Ogden officers did aoi Hewitt after leing arrest notified I wish to make the following explanation- i Hjnew notning ot lias aflair until last evening. I have been this city for several days, but my oW ty W. Henry Clark, has bem on hsnd to attend to official business On learn-inabout this affair I made inquiry gaj learned that my deputy hal received no despatch from Evanston, but that a telegram from Shuriff Hinton, adJrtssed to iue, arrived last Saturday, nJ wis given to Mr. Parry, officer of the d companies, who handed it to James Welch, captain of tie city police. Mr. Welch says he instructed officer Child to watch for Hewitt, but the latter did not remember about it. Mr. anything Welch had the telegram in his pocket this morning, asd I never saw it until I asked bim for it. I wish to say here, that no one is authorized to open letters or dispatches addressed to me, except my deputy, W. Henry Clark, and that if he bad receiv. ed the telegram, there is no doubt that Hewitt would have been arrested. Whta I receive any official instructions to watch or arrest any person, I alwaji shew the description of the individual to all the officers. It is true that Sheriff Hinton has been courteous to the officers of this county, but sot any more so than I have to bin, and I wish to disclaim all discourtesy towards him, as I do not consider myself at all responsible for this affair. g (Special dispatch to S.
