es who logically should
have been brought forward by the prosecution on their side of the case.
Among these was the famous "Governor" Clough, citizen deputy and open
shop mill owner. David Clough unwillingly testified to having been
present at the deportation of twenty-two I. W. W. members on August
23rd, having gone down to the dock at 8:30 that morning, and also to his
interest in Joseph Schofield, the deputy who had been injured by his
brother outlaws on the dock just before the Beverly Park deportations.

Mahler and Micklin were recalled for some few additional questions, and
were followed on the stand by Herman Storm, who gave testimony about the
brutal treatment received by himself and his fellow passengers on the
launch "Wanderer." John Hainey and Joseph Reaume also gave details of
this outrage.

"Sergeant" J. J. Keenan, who had become a familiar figure because of his
"police" duty in the outer court corridor from the inception of the
trial, then took the witness stand and recounted his experiences at
Snohomish and Maltby, his every word carrying conviction that the
sheriff and his deputies had acted with the utmost brutality in spite of
the advanced age of their victim. John Patterson and Tom Thornton
corroborated Keenan's testimony.

A surprise was sprung upon the prosecution at this juncture by the
introduction on the witness stand of George Kannow, a man who had been a
deputy sheriff in Everett and who had been present when many of the
brutalities were going on. He told of the treatment of Berg after the
"Wanderer" arrests.

"He was struck and beaten and thrown down and knocked heavily against
the steel sides of the tank, his head striking on a large projecting
lock. He was kicked by McRae and he hollered 'My God, you are killing
me,' and McRae said he didn't give a damn whether he died or not, and
kicked him again and then shoved him into the tank."

The gauntlet at the county jail was described in detail and the spirit
of the free speech fighters was shown by this testimony:

"Yes, I heard some of them groan. They all took their medicine well,
tho. They didn't holler out but some of them would groan; some of them
would go down pretty near to their knees and then get up, then they
would get sapped again as they got up. But they never made any real
outcries."

The witness stated that "Governor" Clough was a regular attendant at the
deportation parties and so also were W. R. Booth, Ed Hawes, T. W.
