cy to do murder on November 5th.

Shortly after the attempted "frame-up" with Axel Downey there was a
strong effort made to bring pressure upon Harvey Hubler. A "lawyer" who
called himself Minor Blythe, bearing letters obtained by
misrepresentation from Hubler's father and sister, attempted to get
Hubler from his cell on an order signed by Malcolm McLaren, the
detective. With the experience of Downey fresh in mind, Hubler refused
to go out of the tank, even tho the "lawyer" stated that he had been
sent by Hubler's father and could surely get him out of jail.

The next day twelve armed deputies came into the jail to force Hubler to
accompany them to the office. The prisoners as a whole refused to enter
their cells, and armed themselves with such rude weapons as they could
find in order to repulse the deputies. The concerted resistance had its
effect and a committee of three, Feinberg, Peters and Watson,
accompanied Hubler to the office. Hubler there refused to read the
letter, asking that it be read aloud in the presence of the other men.
The detectives refused to do this and the men were put back in the tank.

That afternoon, with two other prisoners, Hubler went out of the tank
to wash his clothes. The jailers had been awaiting this opportunity and
immediately locked the men out. The gunmen then overpowered Hubler and
dragged him struggling to the office. The letter was then read to
Hubler, who made no comment further than to say that the I. W. W. had
engaged attorneys to defend him and he wished to be taken back where the
rest of the men were.

Meanwhile the men in the tanks had started another battleship. A hose
had been installed in the jail since the previous battleship and the
deputies turned this upon the men as soon as the protest started. The
prisoners retaliated by taking all mattresses, blankets, clothing and
supplies belonging to the county and throwing them where they would be
ruined by the water, and not knowing what was happening to Hubler they
shouted "Murder" at the top of their voices. While the trouble was going
on several members of the I. W. W., many Everett citizens, and one
attorney tried to gain admittance to the jail office to learn the cause
of the disturbance, but this was denied for more than an hour. Hubler
was finally brought back and the battleship ceased. The county had to
furnish new bedding and clothing for the prisoners.

After this occurrence the prisoners were allowed the run of
