ocent associates.

After uncovering the previous record of Auspos, he was asked about his
"confession" as follows:

"Mr. McLaren and you had reached an understanding in your talk before
Mr. Cooley came?"

"Yes sir."

"The question of what you are to get in connection with your testimony
here has not as yet been definitely decided?"

"I am going to get out of the country."

"You are not going to get a trip to Honolulu?" asked Moore with a smile
as he concluded the cross-examination of Auspos.

"No sir," stammered the tool of the prosecution unconvincingly.

It was at this point that the prosecution introduced several additional
leaflets and pamphlets issued by the I. W. W. Publishing Bureau, the
principal reason being to allow them to appeal to the patriotism of the
jury by referring to Herve's pamphlet, "Patriotism and the Worker," and
Smith's leaflet, "War and the Workers."

The next witness after Auspos was Leo Wagner, another poor purchase on
the part of the prosecution. He merely testified that a man on the
Calista had said that the men were armed and were not going to stand for
being beaten up. Objection was made to the manner in which Cooley led
the witness with his questions, and when Cooley stated that it was
necessary to refresh the memory of the witness, Vanderveer replied that
the witness had been endorsed but a few days before and his recollection
should not be so very stale.

When this witness was asked what he was paid for his testimony he
squirmed and hesitated until the court demanded an answer, whereupon he
said:

"I got enough to live on for a while."

William H. Bridge, deputy sheriff and Snohomish county jailer, was the
next witness. He stated on his direct examination that the first shot
came from the second or third window back from the door on the upper
cabin. Black asked Bridge:

"How do you know there was a shot from that place?"

"Because I saw a man reach out thru the window and shoot with a
revolver."

"In what position was he when shooting?"

"Well, I could see his hand and a part of his arm and a part of his body
and face."

"Who was the man, if you know?"

"Well, to the best of my judgement, it was the defendant, Thomas H.
Tracy."

Under Vanderveer's cross-examination this witness was made to place the
model of the Verona with its stern at the same angle as it had been at
the time of the shooting. The witness was then asked to assume the same
position he had been
