rather out
of his logical order in the trial by reason of the fact that he was
about to leave on a lengthy fishing trip to Alaska. His testimony was
that he purchased a regular ticket at the same time as his friend
Carlson, but these tickets were not taken up by the purser. The original
ticket of this passenger was then offered in evidence. The witness
stated that the first shot came from almost the same place on the dock
as did the words "You can't land here." He fell to the deck and saw
Carlson fall also. Carlson tried to rise once, but a bullet hit him and
he dropped; there were nine bullet holes in him. Nordstrom was asked:

"Did you have a gun?"

"No sir."

"Did Carlson have a gun?"

"No sir."

"Did you see anybody with a gun on the boat?"

"No. I didn't."

Organizer James Rowan then gave his experiences in Everett, ending with
a vivid recital of the terrible beating he had received at the hands of
deputies near Silver Lake. Upon telling of the photograph that was taken
of his lacerated back he was asked by Veitch:

"What was the reason you had that picture taken?"

"Well," said Rowan, in his inimitable manner, "I thought it would be a
good thing to get that taken to show up the kind of civilization that
they had in Everett."

Dr. E. J. Brown, a Seattle dentist, and Thomas Horner, Seattle attorney,
corroborated Rowan's testimony as to the condition of his back. They had
seen the wounds and bruises shortly after the beating had been
administered and were of the opinion that a false light was reflected on
the photograph in such a way that the severest marks did not appear as
bad as they really were.

Otto Nelson, Everett shingle weaver, gave testimony regarding the
shingle weavers' strikes of 1915 and 1916 but was stopped from going
into detail by the rulings of the court. He told also of the peaceful
character of all the I. W. W. meetings in Everett, and stated that on
one occasion police officer Daniels had fired two shots down one of the
city streets at an I. W. W. man who had been made to run the gauntlet.

H. P. Whartenby, owner of a five-ten-fifteen cent store in Everett, said
that the I. W. W. meetings were orderly, and further testified that he
had been ordered out of the Commercial Club on the evening of November
5th but not until he had seen that the club was a regular arsenal, with
guns stacked all over the place.

To establish the fact that the sidewalks were kept clear, that there was
