Immense and Eager Audience—The Disgusting and Contradictory Testimony—How Bud Bears Himself—nis Chances, the Testimony, Etc. Judge Rimes was ready at 9 o’clock thij morning to hear the habeas corpus application of W. R. Orman for bail, now under arrest for the killing of Bud Ilughston last Tuesday. An immense crowd had gathered in (he corridors of the court h„use at an early hour, and surged in and out of the hallways, wearing an eager, expectaht look. It was nearly 10 o’clock before the judge took ins seat on the bench, by which time the district court room was crowded with men a*nd women, the latter of the demimonde. Bud Orman was brought into the court room at 10 o’clock by Sheriff Harris. Orman looked rather nervous, but not as much so as might have been expected. His counsel, Mess's. Herring & Kelley andT. A. Blair were with him. The state was represented by Messrs. J. W. Taylor, county attorney, and C. B. Pearre. Some twenty odd witnesses were sworn, men and women, and put under the rules. Counsel for the prisoner stated _that to expedite matters they would admit, at the outset, that Bud Hughston was dead, and that he had been killed by W. R. Orman, now at the bar of the court. * A. H. KNOTT, policeman, was called. Ills testimony was substantially as given at the coroner’s inquest, and as already published in The Day. He was the first to reach Hughston after the shooting; ughston was not quite dead at that time. The defence did not question him. CHAS. NOEL, another of the coroner’s witnesses, had nothing new to tell. The defense did not question him. KATE HORTON, who was the occupant of ITughston’s hack when the latter was killed, and who had already given testimony at the coroner’s inquest testified she was being driven from the Central City HotSl to Stella Nolan’s. When I first saw Orman he was standing in the middle of the street, pistol in hand. He fired two shots. I didn’t hear any words: the hack was going in an ordinary trot. Hughston was drinking that morning. Miss Horton then described the wild flight of the horses, herself in the hack, to the circus grounds, where they were checked; didn’t know the state of feeling between Hughston and Orman, at any time. The defence told Miss Horton to stand aside. SUL DOWNS employed in E. Pugh’s saloon: I saw Mr. Orman in our saloon the morning of the killing, about ten o’clock; saw Hughston in the saloon drinking about five minutes before Orman came; Orman walked in at the back door and walked out again the way he came, without saying a tvord; he walked leisurely; went toward the square; fifteen minutes afterward I heard shots; I don’t know of any bad feeling between the men; Hughston said, while in saloon Orman had been talking about him (H.) and he wanted to meet him with the party who told him, when one or the other would get whipped, provided Orman acknowledged to such talk. Hughston was drinking, enough to show it by his talk; he said Orman said a negro whore was keeping him (Hughston) ; the woman was Annie Thompson; didn’t see Hughston have any weapons. The defence did not ask a question of this witness. LUKE MOORE. I went to the scene of the shooting; Hughston lay on his face shot and bleeding; helped to remove him; saw no weapons on him; don’t know anything of state of feeling between the men; saw Hughston at recorder’s court that|morning; didn’t talk with him. The defence did not question Mr. Moore. FANNIE ROBERTS, who also testified at the coroner’s inquest, had nothing material more to tell than on the previous occasion. The state didn’t ask her anything. LOUIS STERN KORB w as called and said i! I saw Bud Orman the morning of the killing, in the back room of Herring & Keley’s law office; I left him there; that was before the killing; Mr. Kelley was in there; I did not hear what Orman said, if anything; he seemed cool; I w£nt away; 1 saw him two hours before this, at his (Orman’s) restaurant; didn’t hear Orman say anything about Hughston. Witness said he didn’t know what Orman’s business was in Herring & Kelley’s office. The defense did not interrogate Sternkorb. At this juncture considerable delay occurred by counsel for the defense retiring to consuit with witnesses and have additional subpoenas issued. JOE LE1TO, summoned for the defence: I know Bud Orman and knew Bud Hughston. The morning of the killing, about 6:50* Bud Hughston drove up to Orman’s saloon and asked for Orman. The barkeeper said Bud Orman wasn’t there. Hughston said: “I wan’t to see him; he’s been talking about me, saying I slept with a coon; I want to make him take it back. Ilis sister sleeps with coons too. That’s all I heard. Hughston didn’t stay there two minutes and drove away.” Examined by the state. Hughston had two colored women, (one of them Amanda Jackson) in his hack; didn’t know the other; Hughston sat on the box of his hack. I saw Bud Orman that morning, a little later, perhaps fifteen minutes; he came into my store and asked me what Hughston had said about him. I told him nothing; I wanted to keep peace. Bud Orman didn’t say anything more; walked right out; if he had a pistol I didn’t see it. MONROE STARR, called for the detence: I know Bud Hughstoil and Bud Orman; saw them both the day of the killing. I work in Orman’s saloon restaurant. About 6:30 a. m., Hughston drove up to the saloon and said : “Where is Bud Orman?” I said ;you know he is at home and don’t get down here until 8 or 9 o’clock. Hughston said: “well, I want to see him; he has been talking about Annie Brown keeping me. His sister sleeps with coons too, and G—d d—m him if he don’.t hush about me I am going to kill him or he’ll kill me.” Cross examined* There was nobody in Hughston’s hack; there were two ladies in our dining room; don’t know them; I saw them get out of the carriage; they left in Bud Hughston’s hack; I work for Orman; am his cook; Hughston and the ladies drove away down ihe alley; when they first drove up, he got down, opened the door, walked into the dining room, called to Charlie (the waiter) to wait on the ladies; then he went out to tie his horses. Majors Pearre crossquestioned this witness quite severely, the performance being amusing at times. Starr persisted, however, in his statement that Hughston said, ‘‘I’ll whip Bud Orman on this morning, or he’ll whip me; /’// kill him, or he'll kill me Bud Orman came down about 7 o’clock and eat breakfast. I didn’t hear him ask or say anything to me or anybody about Hughston. I saw Orman with a pistol shortly after he came in. I told Orman “a man has been looking for you.” He said “allright;” didn’t ask who the man was; he was in a good humor. MARTHA DOWNS, called for defence. I saw Bud Hughstou last Tuesday morning, about ’/ o’clock, in front of Bud Orman’s saloon. I heard him say he wanted to see Orman; that the latter had said Miss Annie was a nigger and was supporting him; that Bad had to take it back or he would whip him; that Bud Orman’s sister [Here the language is too obscene to be given. It was as severe on Orman’s sister though as language could be.] Hughston was talking to me. There was nobody in the carriage. The state here crossexamined, but Martha was not fazed in the least and stuck to her previous statements. She resumed. Later I saw Bud Orman in his restaurant, He asked me what Hughston said about hint; I would not tell him. Pretty soon, an hour later, he came to my house and asked me if he had me up as a witness would I tell him what I heard Hughston say about him or his sister. I told him I would tell the truth about it. I saw him go up in town after he left my house. Then I saw him a third time, about 9:30 o’clock; he was sitting in his saloon, behind the counter. He put on his coat and left the saloon; I didn’t see him take a pistol or any weapon. Just a few minutes afterwards I heard a pistol fire. I know Sis Orman, Bud’s sister, have known her ever since I have been here, and that’s as long as I can remember. I don’t know nothing about her reputation, but have heard people make remarks about her. A sharp contest ensued between counsel on each side to get witness to make a statement about Miss Orman’s good name. Maj. Pearre would interrogate and Capt. Herring object. The court was constantly appealed to by each side and arbitrated with decisions. Finally the witness said: 1 can’t say that I know anything about Miss Orman’s reputation. People generally say it is pretty rough; they say she is bad. I I saw her week before last. Maj. Pearre asked “what is Miss Orman’s condition now?" The defense objected to this question and the court sustained it. Another question was asked: “Have you ever heard of Bud Orman abusing his sister; and impugning her good name?” The court ruled Continued on Fourth Page. TELEGRAPH TOPICSBRIE? GLIMPSES OF THE DAI’S NEWS OVER THE WIRES. The Storm on the (treat LakesProtection for the Chinese—CaUIo Men Moring—Home nml Foreign Notes. THE STATE. Austin, September 9.—The preliminary examination of Charles Dick, charged wijh attempt to assassinate his wife, has been going on several days. The evidence is con Aiding. Mrs. Dick and her mother both say positively Dick made the assault. Mrs. D;ck states he had knocked her down several times before. He wanted her baby and she resisted his efforts to take it by force. On the other hand, his brotherinlaw and the man at whose house he boarded at Waco swear lie was at Waco at the time the murdc. r was attempted. IN GENERAL. Rock Springs, Wy., September 10.— Seven hundred Chinamen returned here yesterday under escort of four companies of troops. The miners, it is alleged, threaten to destroy the company’s buildings, all of which are under strong guard. Serious trouble is feared as soon as the miners think they have an opportunity to carry out their threats. Leavenworth, Kas., September to.— General Miles has returned from an extended trip through the Indian Territory. He states the cattle of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne cattle company, and others, will all be out of the territory within one month from this date. The general states that he has stationed officers at each post with sufficient command to protect the cattlemen. The officers will also see to the sorting out of any cattle belonging to the Indians which may have been absorbed by the herds. This precludes all possibility of any conflict between the Indians and the cattlemen. Chicago, September to.—The easterly gale which swept over the lake Tuesday and yesterday, was more severe and greater in area than any other gale of the season. Returns thus far show that the damage to shipping exposed was quite general. The lake, on the west shore between Chicago and Milwaukee, is filled with floating lumber, shingles and laths, and in various places small pieces of wreckage have been seen. A number of vessels are long overdue here and their coming is anxiously awaited. An unknown vessel was wrecked at Five Rivers, Wis., yesterday, about five miles north of the harbor piers. Nothing was found to indicate the name of the vessel nor have any bodies been discovered on shore and unless the crew abandoned the vessel or vessels wrecked and sought safely in some other craft, they must have perished. Reports are still coming from all along the lakeshore of vessels driven ashore and wrecked. Several towing steamers were obliged to drop their tow lines to save themselves and numbers of vessels which were abandoned have not been heard from. It is feared the loss of lfie and property will be very great. Washington, September io.—Representative Mills, it is reported here, has been engaged during the entire summer in the preparation of a tariff bill which he purposes introducing soon after the convening of congress. It is stated that the measure will provide for the reduction of the revenue to such a sum as is necessary to cover the government’s expenses. It is proposed that this revenue shall be derived, in the main, from that class of taxable articles known as luxuries, and that taxation on the necessaries of life shall be reduced to the lowest possible sum. Lima, O., September io.—Tuesday night, an attempt was made to blow up with dynamite, the hotel, saloon and residence of Neal and Bidwell in the village of Westminister not far from here. The saloon had recently been opened and its presence was hotly opposed by some of the inhabitants and this opposition is credited with inspiring the efforts. The whole front of the first story was blown away and the interior wrecked. Neal and his family occupying an upper room were thrown from their beds and bruised. —At the Garland tonight Mr. John Kelj Iy will play on a violin over 300 years old, formerly owned by Ole Bull. —U. S. District Attorney Pearre received a telegram this afternoon from U. S. District Attorney Bliss, of St. Louis, saying: “Writ of habeas corpus signed today by Judge McCormick, who has Just arrived here. The prisoner Lucius A. White will be started to Waco to night.” White, it will be remembered, is generally regarded as the principal in the Brazilian counterfeiting scheme. VIOLIN AND SONQ. The Grand Concert at Garland's Opera House ToNight. The grand concert at the Garland opera house tonight will present unusual attractions to lovers of music and the public in general.

About 2:30 o’clock thisfafternoon, while a man was cleaning out an old well back of the Union hotel, the earth about ten feet above him caved in, covering him about one and onehalf feet. While under the earth he was distinctly heard calling for the negro who was drawing out the dirt to go for help. In a few minutes, Ben Hilliard, the colored boy, had a crowd and they commenced digging him out, at the present writing (3:30 p.) they have uncovered the man’s head and arms. No one seemed to know him, but he called out that his name was Robert Jenkins from Dallas. On being asked if he was suffering any pain, he said he was not, but there was a terrible pressure on his legs and back. He says he has been covered up before while well digging.

People generally say it is pretty rough; they say she is bad. I I saw her week before last. Maj. Pearre asked “what is Miss Orman’s condition now?" The defense objected to this question and the court sustained it.

Chicago, September to.—The easterly gale which swept over the lake Tuesday and yesterday, was more severe and greater in area than any other gale of the season. Returns thus far show that the damage to shipping exposed was quite general. The lake, on the west shore between Chicago and Milwaukee, is filled with floating lumber, shingles and laths, and in various places small pieces of wreckage have been seen. A number of vessels are long overdue here and their coming is anxiously awaited. An unknown vessel was wrecked at Five Rivers, Wis., yesterday, about five miles north of the harbor piers. Nothing was found to indicate the name of the vessel nor have any bodies been discovered on shore and unless the crew abandoned the vessel or vessels wrecked and sought safely in some other craft, they must have perished. Reports are still coming from all along the lakeshore of vessels driven ashore and wrecked. Several towing steamers were obliged to drop their tow lines to save themselves and numbers of vessels which were abandoned have not been heard from. It is feared the loss of lfie and property will be very great.
