not much."

"Not enough to arouse any sympathy in you?"

"No," said the sheriff unfeelingly.

"Did you strike a little Finnish fellow over the head with a gun?"

"I certainly did!"

"And split his head open and the blood ran out, but not enough to move
you to any sympathy?"

"No, not a bit!" viciously answered McRae.

"Did you hit any others?" inquired Vanderveer.

"No, not then."

"Why not?"

"They probably seen what happened to the captain and the other fellow
for getting gay."

As to the holding of Mitten in jail for a number of days on a charge of
resisting an officer, and his final release, McRae was asked:

"Why didn't you try him on that charge?"

"Because when we let the I. W. W.'s go they insisted on him going, too,
and I said, 'all right, take him along.'"

"You did whatever the I. W. W.'s wanted in that?"

"Well, I was glad to get rid of them," remarked the sheriff.

McRae said that none of the men taken to Beverly Park were beaten on the
dock before being placed in automobiles for deportation, but on
cross-examination he admitted that one of the deputies got in a mix-up
and was beaten by a brother deputy. The sheriff stated that he took one
man out to Beverly Park in a roadster, and had then returned to Everett
to attend a dance given by the Elks' lodge.

In relating the events on November 5th, McRae's story did not differ

shoe, and coming out of the side. The shoe was then offered in evidence.
He testified that another shot struck the calf of his leg and passed
completely thru the limb. Both these wounds were from the rear. His
entire suit was offered in evidence. The coat had nine bullet holes in
it, yet McRae was not injured at all in the upper portion of his body!
The sheriff stated that he fired twenty shots in all, and was then
removed to the Sister's Hospital while the shooting was still in
progress.

McRae then identified Ed Roth, James Kelly and Thomas H. Tracy as three
of the I. W. W. men who were most active in firing from the Verona. In
his identification of Tracy, McRae stated that the defendant was in the
second or third cabin window aft the door, and was hanging out of the
window with his breast against the sill and his elbow on the ledge.
Vanderveer then placed himself in the position described by the sheriff
and requested McRae to as
