other occasions. He said that he would not participate in
the beating up of anyone, and that when the affair started he went up
the road for purposes of his own. He was asked by Vanderveer as to the
reason for continuing to associate with people who had abused the men at
Beverly Park, to which he replied:

"Because I believe in at least trying to maintain law and order in our
city."

During the examination of this witness, and at various times thruout the
long case, it was only with evident effort that Attorney Vanderveer kept
on the unfamiliar ground of the class struggle, his natural tendencies
being to try the case as a defense of a pure and simple murder charge.

W. P. Bell, an Everett attorney representing a number of scab mills, a
member of the Commercial Club and a deputy on the dock, testified next,
contradicting the previous witnesses but throwing no additional light
upon the case. He was followed by Charles Tucker, a scab and gunman
employed by the Hartley Shingle Company and a deputy on the dock. Tucker
lied so outrageously that even the prosecution counsel felt ashamed of
him. He was impeached by his own testimony.

Editor J. A. MacDonald of the Industrial Worker was called to the stand
to show the official relation of the paper to the I. W. W. and to lay a
foundation for the introduction of a file of the issues prior to
November 5th. A portion of the file was introduced as evidence and at
the same time the state put in as exhibits a copy of the I. W. W.
Constitution and By-Laws, Sabotage by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Sabotage
by Walker C. Smith, The Revolutionary I. W. W. by Grover H. Perry, The
I. W. W., Its History, Structure and Methods by Vincent St. John, and
the Joe Hill Memorial Edition of the Song Book.

Herbert Mahler, former secretary of the Seattle I. W. W. and at the
time Secretary-Treasurer of the Everett Prisoners' Defense Committee,
was next upon the stand. He was asked to name various committees and to
identify certain telegrams. The unhesitatingly clear answers of both
MacDonald and Mahler were in vivid contrast to the mumbled and
contradictory responses of the deputies.

William J. Smith, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company was
then called to further corroborate certain telegrams sent and received
by the I. W. W.

pamphlet "Sabotage" by Smith, sometimes using half a paragraph and
