Did This Thrifty United States Marshal Cunningham.
Charleston, W. Va., July 28.-Little of interest developed in the trial of District President John Richards and others in the federal court today, charged with contempt for violating the injunctions. Numerous witnesses were examined, but few of them could connect the defendants with the contempt action.
Deputy Marshal Cunningham testified that in addition to acting as an official he had worked for the Collins Colliery company as captain of the company's guards, drawing a salary therefor.
The defense will try to prove that the strikers were under the impression that Cunningham was serving injunctions issued by Judge Jackson in 1897, and that these injunctions were not in force.
