NOT SETTLED YET. — Bad News for Ferndale. NO. 4 PIT TO BE CLOSED. 800 Men Thrown Out of Work. We are authoritatively informed that at the meeting' of the Coalowners' Emergency Com- mittee held in Cardiff on Monday, Messrs. David Davis and Sons reported to their col- leagues on the committee that, in consequence of the continued loss sustained by them in carry- ing on No. 4 Pit, Ferndale, for some time past, and the serious expense which would be in- volved in its re-opening after the strike, the com- pany have resolved not to resume operations at this pit. About 800 men are thus deprived of employment. A PROCESSION DISPERSED. Can Strikers Armed with Clubs be on a Peaceful Errand. A large procession of strikers started from Pontypridd this morning to march through the Rhondda Valley to Pentre for the purpose of attending a mass meeting to be held there at midday. It is reported that an attempt was made by the processionists to cross Cymmer Bridge at Porth, with a view of going along the Dinas road to pass the Penygraig Collieries, where the men are working. A cordon of police and military were drawn up across the bridge in order to stop them. The men, it is said, took man- drils and other weapons in order to try and force their way across the bridge, but were repulsed by the military. The procession then took the snortest route along Cemetery-road, through Trealaw, avoiding Penygraig, and on to Pentre. It is understood that the police had taken precautions to guard Cymmer Bridge in the morning, because a rumour was prevalent on Monday night that the men intended passing the Penygraig Collieries, in order to make a de- monstration there, and that another section would go along the Tonyrefail-road to the house coal collieries that are working in the Ely valley. Whatever the intentions of the men, therefore, were in that respect, they have been frustrated, the contingent having been switched on to a quiet country roadway. Our Pontypridd reporter telegraphs :—On visiting Porth at midday I found all quiet, but ihere was a good deal of talk about the scene which took place on Cymmer Bridge in the morning. It seems that a very large procession was formed at Porth to ioin the lot coming up from Pontypridd. Inspector Davies and three police-officers guarded the Cymmer Bridge, and, in order to prevent the mob going to Penygraig, lest they might irifcrfere with the men working there, they directed that the proces- sion must take the high road through Trealaw. The men declared that they were going oil a peaceful march to Pentre, but the inspector pointed to the huge clubs they carried, and replied that those were not indicative of peace- ful intentions. Some of the procession insisted in taking the road they wished, and threatened to write to the Home Secretary. One man made a move as if to strike the inspector, who then called upon the military to back him up. The military closed up, but neither did or said anything except closing behind the police. The Procession Dispersed. The crowd still threatened and hooted vocife- rously, but ultimately turned and went up the other road. The police and the military tried to interrupt them again at Trealaw, lest they might interfere with the mass meeting at Llwynypia, but the procession reached Trealaw Bridge and crossed to Llwynypia, the police and military following. The Llwynypia men were gathering, but had not then attained any great numbers. The procession then passed through quietly to Pentre. It is not true that those in the proces- sion carried mandrils, as rumoured. It is now stated they will march on to Treherbert, where the Fernhill men are working, and the military from Porth have been sent up. I hear that the Llwvnypia men have decided to begin work to-morrow. The house coal men of Ely and Mid- Rhondda are working in larger numbers than on Monday. The Glyn Colliery is working to-day.

WHAT THE HAULIERS WANT. Twenty Per Cent-Nothing More- Nothing Less. One of our representatives on Monday inter- viewed a haulier who was returning from the mass meeting at Pontypridd, and the following •olloquy ensued What are you fighting for ?" Twenty per cent." Twenty per cent. advance on the standard, r 20 per cent. advance on your present .Jages p" We are asking for 20 per cent., and that's good enough." Then you are fighting for 20 per cent. only?" Yes, 20 per cent, we are out for, and we are going to have it." Have you any idea what an increase of 20 per cent. would mean in your wages ?" No. I don't trouble myself about that. Our leaders are working that out for us, and if you want to know anything more you bad better ask them." The man interviewed then turned on his heel and wended his weary way homewards. A MASS MEETING. Brynmawr Strikers Condemn the Ballot. A mass meeting of nearly 4,000 men, princi- pally from Blaina, and Abertillery, was held near JBrynmawr this morning, when resolutions were unanimously passed condemning the action of the committee who arranged for the ballot, and deciding to take no part in it, and deter- mining to strike until the 20 per cent. was con- ceded. Headed by a brass band, the strikers paraded through Bryumawr to Blaenavon. The military have passed over the mountain from Ebbw Vale, and, after parading Brynmawr, re- turned thereto, via Beaufort. EMERGENCY COMMITTEE. A List of Collieries Working To-Day. The emergency committee of the Monmouth- ribire and South Wales Coalowners' Association sat at the Angel Hotel, Cardiff, this morning.

Since the meeting of the emergency commit- tee was held this afternoon the secretary of the Coalowners' Association has learnt that the steam coal men colliers, as well as hauliers, have indicated their desire to resume work to-morrow morning, and everything will be made so as to admit of this. Intimidation at Llantwit. It will be remembered that on Monday morn- ing a. number of men gathered at the pit top at Llantwit to endeavour to prevent the workmen descending, but the crowd dispersed upon the appearance of Mr. Taylor, and the men went to work. In the evening, however, when the men were leaving, a large crowd collected, and a number of men were hustled, and some insulted. One man, named Morgan, was last night arrested on a charge of assault and intimidation, and is now in the cells at Pontypridd, Police-station awaiting the hearing of the case to-morrow morning. This morning again a large crowd collected round the pit tops, but owing to the prompt action taken on Monday night there was no disturbance. A Month for Intimidation. At Tredegar Police-court this morning a 11 mti-y labourer, named Edward Adams, was 3oiiimitted to Usk for one month, with hard labour, on a charge of intimidating Robert Wallis, a labourer employed at the Powell Duffryn No. 1 Pit, New Tredegar, by intecept- ing him while proceeding to work on Friday svening, the 25th inst. Adams was formerly a haulier.

BRISTOL EXHIBITION. The Mayor of Cardiff Makes a Speech at the Opening Ceremony. An extensive enterprise, in the form of an industrial exhibition, was opened at Bristol on Monday. The idea of holding the show origi nated with the late Sir Charles Wathen, who was mayor of Bristol for several years, and when Sir Charles was advocating the scheme before the city council in the early part of this year he, unfortunately, dropped down dead. With the death of the chief promoter the scheme was not allowed to lapse, but was taken up with the greatest energy, and the proceeds of the exhibition, which is one of the largest of the kind held in the West of England, are to be devoted to the medical charities of the city, A huge wooden structure, over 500ft. long and 110ft. broad, has been erected for the purposes of the exhibition on an open space made by the cover- ing over of the waterway between the Stone Bridge and the new St. Augustine's Bridge. From the towers, which are 70ft. high, a search- light has been placed and can be directed to any part of the city. The corporation supply the electrical power for lighting purposes, and on the front of the building, which is attractively decorated, are six shields, bearing representa- tions of the arms of the mayor, the high sheriff, the lords-lieutenants of Somerset and Gloucester- shire, and the cities of Bath and Gloucester, The exhibition buildings are divided into two sections. About two-thirds of the space is devoted to stalls for the display of manufactured articles and machinery in motion, and one-third, completely divided from the larger portion by a partition, to the exhibition of paintings and antique china, lent by Bristolians and others, and works of art and handicraft of amateurs. Every inch of space in the industrial division is occupied with goods and machines. Among the operations that will be daily carried on are tobacco-packing, printing, type-setting, paper- bag making', colour stamping, pin mak- ing, weaving, stone cutting, gold beat- ing and gilding, leather cutting,; rolling, &c., soap pressing, and lozenge making. The fine arts section of the exhibition contains upwards of 700 pictures and sketches, and is the largest and most complete collection ever brought together in Bristol. The exhibition was opened at three p.m. with an interesting ceremony, the mayor (Mr. W. R. Barker) being supported by the high-sheriff, the Recorder of Bristol, the Mayors of Gloucester, Bath, Car- diff, and Swansea, Mr. Charles Townsend, M.P., Sir Joseph Weston, M.P., the Revs. Canon Cornish, Canon Ainger, Monsignor Clarke, H. Arnold Thomas, and Dr. Glover, Colonels Salis Schwabe and Savile, Sir George W. Edwards, Kt., and Sir William Henry Wills, Bart., Aldermen Fox, Jose, Pethick, Highett, Lucas, and Cope-Proctor. Mr. W. H. Harford and Mr. Herbert Thomas magistrates and councillors, Dr. Ryan, Mr Bischopp Smith, Mr. John Weston, Mr. James Sinnott, Mr. Leighton, Mr. E. G. Clarke, Mr. R. C. Tombs, and Mr. Francis Fox.-The Mayor, in his opening speech, referred to the great aid the leading citizens of Bristol had given to the exhibition, and expressed a hope that much good would come out of the industrial section of the venture. The show would remain open for some months.— The Mayor of Cardiff, in responding for the visitors at the luncheon given by the Mayor of Bristol at the exhibition, thanked the company for honouring the town which he represented. There had been a close association between South Wales and Bristol for many years. Of course, Cardiff was a town of mushroom growth compared with the ancient and historic city of Bristol, but, still, it was acknowledged that Cardiff was going ahead. It had always been known that Bristol men slept with one eye open, and unless uiiey "winked the other eye they would find that South Wales had gone ahead at such a rate as to compete successfully with Bristol. They had had exhibitions at Car- diff on a small scale, but they bad not the num- ber of industries there that they had in Bristol. Still, they trusted the time was not far distant when they would find that at little Cardiff several new enterprises would be springing up, so that they would be able to compete with Bristol. He hoped that the exhibition would benefit the whole district, including South Wales, and that they would have a large number of visitors from Wales, who would learn sufficient so that in due time they might look forward to an exhibitior. at Cardiff which would outdo the one at Bri?1,1 (Laughter and applause.)

A LANCASHIRE OUTRAGE. Colliers Arrested for Throwing an Explosive into a Garden. During Church service on Sunday an inexpli- cable outrage was committed by colliers at the tillage of Euxtou, near Chorley. A large cartridge, supposed to be tonite, was thrown into the garden in front of Mr. John Driver's farmhouse. Mrs. Driver heard a man shout, It won't go off." Going to the door she saw something smoking, and, being afraid, she turned to close the door, when a loud explosion occurred. The front windows were shattered, and a considerable hole was made in the ground. Mrs. Driver had a very narrow escape. Four colliers were arrested.

A Youth's Fatal Fall. A Rotbesay lad, named Alexander M'Allister, was drowned in the Clyde this morning by fall- ing from the training ship Empress.

PENLLERGARE. The Death of the Popular Heir. FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. The funeral of the late Mr. W. D. Llewelyn will take place to-day (Tuesday) at Penllergaer Churchyard. The cortege will start from the house at 2.30 p.m, The churchyard is situated at the edge of the Penllerg'aer Park nearest the public roadside. Although the funeral willbe pri- vate from the house, Sir John has expressed his desire not to prevent any persons attending at the churchyard to pay their last respects to the deceased. A number of friends of the family from a distance are expected at Penllergaer to-day, amongst them being Lord Dynevor, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, and the Hon. Mr. Rice. The last-named comes down from Argyllshire. A Pathetic Picture. In a leader on the sad tragedy at Penllergare, the Daily Telegraph says :—" No element of pathos is wanting to complete a picture which must appeal to the sympathies of every human heart with irresistible force. The bridegroom who was about to lead his fair JiancSe to the altar has been struck down in death; and upon the tragedy which has laid her life waste we can but drop the curtain of silence, as her grief is too sacred to be invaded even by the most Sympa- thetic and tender of words. The heir to the Llewelyn baronetcy and estates was as manly as his ancient race, which traces its descent from the proudest name in Welsh history, and he was also as win- ning and gracious in manner as the young hero of Sir Walter Scott's charming Welsh novel of The Betrothed.' Mr. Llewelyn's approach- ing marriage to a fair daughter of the house of Dynevor had awakened the greatest rejoicings in the counties of Glamorgan and Carmarthen as, with the constitutional jealousy of their English neighbours for which the sturdy inhabi- tants of North and South Wales have long been renowned, there is nothing which affords them more gratification than to see their noblest and most respected families linked together by matrimonial ties. In an instant all these fair and promising hopes have been rudely shat- tered." Accidents in the Field. The Daily Telegraph, writes on the numerous casualties which befall sportsmen in the field in these days. During the last few years," it says "shooting accidents have been of such frequent occurrence, that in one of the most fashionable clubs of the West-end—a club not exceeding 800 members in number-there are said at this moment to be no fewer than ten members who bear in their faces evidences of having been maimed or marked by gunshot wounds. Since the substitution of the breech- loader for the muzzle-loader the increase in shooting accidents has been alarmingly great. In the more careful days of old, when shooting was confined to comparatively few, and when many owners of pheasant coverts refused to allow any of their guests to shoot with more than one gun, which each was com- pelled to load for himself, accidents were almost unknown. Those were the times when such such famous shots as the old Sir John Shelley- the racing confederate of the fifth Earl of Jersey -and Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, afterwards first Earl of Leicester, would compel one of their guests who had fired a dangerous shot to surrender his gun and walk unarmed with the beaters for the rest of the day." A Sad Record. Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, in the course of conversation with a press representative, said: It is just about fifteen years ago that I lost my eldest son, who was drowned in Caswell Bay in a storm which suddenly arose while he was bathing, the swell preventing him from reaching the shore, as he was not a strong enough swim- mer. I found his body myself as the clocks were striking midnight. His other brother died in infancy, and now Willie has gone, and only Charlie is left." Who can grasp all that is con- veyed in those few pathetic words ? Action of Volunteers. We understand that at the funeral of Mr. Llewelyn to-day (Tuesday) the bearers will con- sist of eight men of the deceased captain's com- pany of the 3rd Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers, and six workmen on the estate. A magnificent wreath has been ordered by the 3rd Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers, with the Prince of Wales's plume as the device, and the officers will all attend the funeral. Colonel Pike speaks in the highest terms of the young officer as one of the most hardworking and promising in the corps. He showed especial zeal during the week at Aldershot. In Volunteer circles his loss will be greatly felt.

NO UNPLEASANTNESS. There Will Not be a Suspension of Spillers' Mills. We have received the following letter with reference to the report contained in our columns on Monday as to the rumoured intended stoppage of Messrs. Spillers' mills at Cardiff :— SIR,-We, the undersigned employes of Messrs. Spillers and Bakers (Limited), desire to emphatically contradict several statements made in your issue of the 28th inst. with reference to the notice which has been posted at the mills, and purporting to emanate from an "an old and intelligent employe" of the above firm. Such statements would,if allowed to go uncontradicted, give an entirely erroneous impression to the public respecting the state of affairs at the mills. Now, sir, your informant states that the mills have been running night and days for years. Quite right, but he does not mention the fact that every six weeks the mills are stopped, when a thorough inspection is made and all necessary repairs carried out. He also forgets to inform your representative that a large and efficient staff of mechanics are kept in constant em- ployment to attend to and keep the mills in perfect working order, and the mills we never in better condition than at present. As to the furnace bars being burnt out, such a state ment is obviously too ridiculous to be seriously dealt with. Again, with reference to the rela- tions between the firm and employes, we can testify to the good feeling which exists at pre- sent, and are not aware of any foundation what- ever for the insinuating statements made to your representative with respect to unpleasantness existing between masters and men. The old and intelligent employe" gives it as his opinion that the stormy petrels" and lazy and inefficient" hands will be weeded out. We are inclined to think this old and intelligent employe "must be one of the lazy and inefficient hands himself, and fear your reporter's observing powers must be very defective indeed, or he would never have designated his informant intelligent. Old he may be, and possibly approaching second child- hood. We believe so, and are strengthened in our belief when he informs your representative that the stoppage of the mills will not involve any loss to the proprietors. It is clear to any one with an average amount of brains that a stoppage, even if the sales go on as usual, must involve loss, no matter how large the stock may be (and it is not nearly so large as stated by the old and intelligent employe." As to the piece work, the mill and warehouse hands never do piece-work, and they are in a large majority. In conclusion, we beg to thank you in anticipation for inserting this, and regret that we have tres- possed so much on your valuable space.-We are, &c., T. WADE, E. HUTT, E. WHITE, F. JENNINGS, F. W. POWELL, A. BALL, S. MARSH, A. GARRETT, E. BARTER, T. HALL, E. ROWLANDS, WM. H. HAINES, W. PITMAN, W. MULLETT, J. GARLAND, J. STONE, A. BUSSEY, E. HASLE, G. PARKER, EDWIJI BAKER, W.

TO-DAY'S CRICKET. 6 DOINGS OF THE WILLOW WIELDERS RECORDED. LANCASHIRE V. NOTTS. In this match at Manchester the whole of Monday was occupied by the curious innings of Notts, in which although two men made over 100, the total amounted to only 289. This morning at 25 minutes to twelve the Lancashire innings was opened by Ward and M'Laren, who had to face the bowling of Mec and Attewell. Eight runs came from the first bowler's first over, and 10 from his second, but the pace slackened afterwards. The innings having been in progaess 2^ minutes, when the score stood at 33, M'Laren was bowled and Sugg was out first ball. Briggs came in next, and at once began hitting. whtlst Ward played a fine, resolute game. The score reached 50 at twenty minutes past twelve. Attewell atired in favour of Wilkinson, but the hitting con- tiAud. and at 76 Flowers took the ball from Mee, 80 rUIII being obtained in an hour. Score ;— NOTTS. First innings. Second innings.

The weather was again bea.utifnlly fine when play was resumed this morning at Brighton, at twenty-five minutes to twelve, and the wicket seemed faster and better than before. Having scored 51 for one wicket against Kent's total of 352, Sussex went on batting with Bean and Murdoch. Mason and Wright began the bowling, but they were punished with great free- dom Bean hitting with an amount of brilliancy that roused the spectators to a high pitch of enthusiasm. When he had scored 57 Bean was missed at mid-off, and he continued his hitting until 144, when he was splendidly caught at point with the' right hand. The partnerships had yielded 111 runs. Bean's most brilliant 89, which lasted an hour and forty minutes, included fourteen 4's, three 3's, and six 2's. Wil- son was thrown out by Marchant. One run after Wilson's departure Murdoch was easily caught at point for an admirable 54, in which he hit eight 4's, two 3's, and two 2's. Newham and Brann hit freely and well, and remained together until the luncheon interval, which was taken at half-past one. On resuming at twenty minutea past two there was a capital ring of spectators. Newbam and Brann again played exceedingly well, and increased the score at a rapid rate. It was not until 263 that Brann was clean bowled. Score :— KBNT. First innings. Second innings. J. R. Mason, c Bean, b Humphreys 48 Alec Heame, c Bean, b Humphreys 34 Geo. Hearne, b Brann 29 Rev. W.

Ferris was out to a superb catch in the long field at 35, and De Winton, after being in twenty-five minutes for a single, was taken at mid-on from 11 skyer. Lunelx was taken at half-past one, and on resuming after the usual interval Rice was bowled. He hit one 5 and four 4's in his capital 44. Town- send, after making 14 out of 17, was cleverly caught at slip. The inning's closed at half-past three for 127, Gloucestershire thus being 225 runs behind.

SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM. A Herefordshire Rectory Burnt Down. On Saturday morning the news reached Leominster that the rectory at Monkland was in flames. The fire brigade lost no time in repair- ing to the scene of the fire, only to find that it had obtained such hold of the premises as to render their services of little avail. The supply of water was most inadequate, and had to be pumped a distance of over 800 yards. The building had but recently been erected, but. owing to some dispute, it has not been inhabited by the rector (the Rev. J. O. Padfield). The house shows unmistakable signs of having been fired in five or six places, but, beyond strong suspicion, the police as yet have no olue to the perpetrator of the act. The damage done is estimated at about £ 1,500.

BABY IN THE FIRE. Nurse's Nap Costs the Littla One Its Life. A shocking occurrence is reported this after- noon from Comber, County Down. An old woman, who was nursing a two months old baby, fell asleep and let the child drop into the fire, where it lay until a neighbour, attracted by its screams, entered the place. When picked up it was found to be burned to a cinder.

MINISTERS IN COUNCIL. A Cabinet Council has been summoned to meet at Downing-street on Thursday.

Three Men Drowned Three men, named Pridur, Tewkesbury, and Hodges, were drowned on Monday night on the east coast of Guernsey by the capsizing of a punt in which they were proceeding to a sailing boat moored a short distance from the shore.

BreakapHOauses Stoppage. The 8.30 train from Nottiiigliom to Leicester broke down this morning near Keg-worth i ih a slight breakage in the engine. The >•.< r train stopped for the convenience of panci-; ^era at Leicester, but the ordinary traffic was delayed for some time.

Casualties at Sea. The Italian barque Vicerzo Galatola, from Charleston for London, has been abandoned. The Russian barquenfcine Livauia. from Riga, is aground in the river at Bridgwater. She expects to dock this evening. j

SPORTING CHAT, Gossipy Paragraphs of the Turf and the Field. The odds on Monday rose to 85 to 40 on Isin- glass for the St. Leger. Ravensbury was quiet in town for the St. Leger on Monday at 100 to to 14, but Phocion was well backed at 100 to 8. Bar three, 25 to 1 was freely offered. Tom Emmett and George Ulyett, who have both served Yorkshire for 21 years, are doing duty in the first of the Scarborough Cricket Fes- tival, matches which commenced yesterday. The Australians met a mixed team at Black- pool on Monday and had much the best of a short day's play. Going in first they completed an innings for 205, while six of the home side have been got rid of for only 203 runs. Although a very moderate lot of horses ran behind Glengall in the Kimbolton Welter at Huntingdon last week he won easily enough, and his victory has enhanced the chances of Phocion for the St. Leger. Backers should remember that it is not diffi- cult for horses to reach Derby at the eleventh hour, and the overnight arrival list published in the morning papers is, therefore, hardly a strict criterion as to what is on the spot. Mr. Henry Kimber, M.P., is offering for com petition to the various football clubs in Wands- worth a Twenty-guinea Challenge Cup, to be held by the winning club for one year, together with badges for the individual me bers of the successful team. In order to allow clubs play- ing either Rugby or Association rules to oom- pete, it has been decided that the cup shall go the club scoring the highest number of points during the season.

THE ENGLISH COAL I WAR. Miners and Navvies in Conflict at Chesterfield, SEPARATED BY POLICE. The Press Association Chesterfield correspor dent telegraphs :-The miners of Killamars* created such a disturbance on Monday that th police were on the scene early this morning t prevent any recurrence of the rioting. It ap- pears that on Monday a number of men, chiefly navvies, were loading stock coal into trucks at Holbrook Colliery when the miners, several hundred strong, assailed the loaders wit'lav,_ stones, causing them to beat a hast; w* retreat. Some policemen were soon 01 the scene, but they, too, were receivec with volley after volley of large stones, ant several were injured. The rioting did not ceasi until midnight, by which time the collieryofficea had been almost demolished. This morning- thi miners are marching about threatening whal they will do if the navvies make any furthei attempt to load, but as the police are being .agp gradually strengthened the chance of a reneWiu. vSSa of the disturbance is diminished. Outbreaka are, however, feared at other collieries, especially while the distress is so keen.v« COALOWNERS MEET. They Discuss in Private Resolutions ¡ Submitted by the Men. A specially-(;(}uvened meeting of the coal, owners' federation was held this afternoon a1 the Westminster Palace Hotel, in order to con- sider the resolution submitted to the coalowners by the representatives of the men at the recent conference of the miners' federation of Great Britain. The proceedings were strictly private. A committee meeting- was held at half past one, and the conference of the coalowners, which will not commence until three o'clock, will probably last for about an hour. Northerners Object to a Levy. The Northumberland miners this morning, bj a large majority, voted against any levy being made in aid of the federation colliers 011 strike. The proposals to grant a donation were a led vetoed. Distress in Leicestershire. In the Leicestershire cuaiheids great, distress prevails, but the men express a determination to fight to the end. It is complained that coal is being raised from some pits, and the federation are urged to call the enginemen one.

A POLICEMAN SUSPENDED. His Case will be investigated by the Watch Committee. At Cardiff Police-court this afternoon (before Mr. T. W. Lewis, stipendiary Dr. Paine, and Alderman D. E. Jones) Charles Fisher, a re- spectably-dressed young man of 23, was brought up charged with being disorderly and assaulting Police-constable George Thompson (134), in St. Mary-street, about 10.15 on Monday;] night, the 28th of August. st)r Police-constable Thompson said the prisoner, with a couple of other men, was annoying aa old man in St. Mary-street on Monday night. Witness told them to desist when prisoner came up and put himself in witness's way. He asked prisoner to move, but he refused, and then he kicked witness down. The officer afterwards succeeded in arresting prisoner. Detective Stephens said he saw the prisoner" deliberately kick the previcus witness, causing him to fall.
