was in jail. The discomfiture of the
youthful prosecutor was quite evident.

J. H. Buel impeached the testimony of state's witness Judge Bell who had
made the claim that a filer at the Clark-Nickerson mill had been
assaulted by a member of the I. W. W. Vanderveer asked this witness:

"What was the name of the man assaulted?"

"Jimmy Cain."

"Who did it?"

"I did."

"Are you an I. W. W.?"

"No sir."

"Were you ever?"

"No sir."

Louis Skaroff followed with a detailed story of the murderous attack
made upon him by Mayor Merrill in the Everett jail, his story being
unshaken when he was recalled and put thru a grilling cross-examination.

William Roberts, who had been beaten and deported with Harry Feinberg,
related his experience. The childish questions of Black in regard to the
idea of abolishing the wages system nettled this witness and caused him
to exclaim, "the trouble is that you don't understand the labor
movement."

James Orr then told of having his money stolen by the officials so they
might pay the fares of twenty-two deported men, and John Ovist followed
with the tale of the slugging he had received upon the same occasion
that Feinberg, Roberts and Henig were assaulted.

Attorneys George W. Loutitt and Robert Faussett, of Everett, stated that

every time, as fast as they were molested by the police, the crowd kept
growing until at last the meetings were between two and three thousand
people."

The witness said he had read considerable about industrial unionism, and
tho he was shocked at first he had come to believe in it.

"Until now you are satisfied that their doctrines taken as a whole are
proper and should be promulgated and adopted by the working class?"
inquired Cooley.

"In this way," answered O'Niel, "it was not the I. W. W. literature that
convinced me so much as the actions of the side that was fighting them."

"That is, you believe they were right because of the actions of the
people on the other side?" said Cooley.

"Yes," responded the witness, "because I think there are only two peo
