he weapons were the removable legs of the street
speaking platform.

David Daniels, Arthur S. Johnson, Garland Queen, J. R. Steik, M. J. Fox
and, later on, Earl Shaver, all of whom were police officers in Everett,
gave testimony along somewhat the same lines as the other witnesses from
Everett who owed their jobs to the lumber trust. They stated that the I.
W. W. men deported on August 23rd, had made threats against McRae and
several police officers.

Ed. M. Hawes, proprietor of a scab printing and stationery company,
member of the Commercial Club and citizen deputy, gave testimony
similar to that of other vigilantes as to the trouble on November 5th.
When asked if he had ever known any I. W. W. men offering resistance,
Hawes replied that one had tried to start a fight with him at Beverly
Park. Having thus established his connection with this infamous outrage,

making an endeavor to escape, and when asked whether he blamed the man
for trying to get away, answered that he thought the prisoner was a
pretty big baby.

"You thought he was a pretty big baby?" queried Vanderveer.

"I weigh 260 pounds," replied Hawes.

Frank Goff and Henry Krieg, two young lads who were severely beaten at
Beverly Park, were suddenly produced in court and the big bully was made

plainly evident who the pretty big baby was!

Howard Hathaway, law student and assistant to the state secretary of the
Democratic Central Committee, was forced to admit his connection with
the raid upon the launch "Wanderer" and also upon the men peacefully
camping at Maltby. His testimony was mainly for the purpose of making it
appear that James P. Thompson had advocated that the shingle weavers set
fire to the mills and win their strikes by methods of terrorism.

Two newspaper reporters, William E. Jones of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, and J. J. Underwood of the Seattle Times, were
placed upon the stand in order to lay the foundation for an introduction
of an article appearing in the P-I on Sunday morning, November 5th.
Jones testified that he was prese
