e
boys who testified were Jack Warren, Palmer Strand, Rollie Jackson,
William Layton, Eugene Meives, Guy Warner, Tom Wolf, Harvey Peterson,
and Roy Jensen. Veitch, by this time thoroly disgusted with the turn
taken by the case, excused these witnesses without even a pretense of
cross-examination.

Completely clinching this link in the evidence against the citizen
deputies was the testimony of Miss Lillian Goldthorpe and her mother,
Hannah Goldthorpe. Miss Goldthorpe, waitress in the Commercial Club
dining room, picked up some rifle shells that had fallen from the rifles
stacked in the office, and also from the pocket of one of the hunting
coats lying on the floor. She took these home to her mother who
afterward turned them over to Attorney Moore. She also identified
certain murderous looking blackjacks as being the same as those stored
in the Club. It is hardly necessary to state that the open-shop
advocates who continually prate about the "right of a person to work
when and where they please" were not slow about taking away Lillian's
right to work at the Commercial Club after she had given this truthful
testimony!

James Hadley, I. W. W. member on the Verona, told how he had dived
overboard to escape the murderous fire and had been the only man in the
water to regain a place on the boat.

"I saw two go overboard and I didn't see them any more," said Hadley.
"Then I saw another man four feet from me and he seemed to be swimming
all right, and all of a sudden he went down and I never saw him any
more. I was looking right at him and he just closed his eyes and sank."

Mario Marino, an 18 year old member of the I. W. W., then told of the
serious wounds he had received on the boat. He was followed by Brockman
B. Armstrong, another member of the union, who was close to the rail on
the port side of the boat. He saw a puff of smoke slightly to the rear
of McRae directly after the sound of the first shot. A rifle bullet cut
a piece out of his forehead and a second went thru his cap and creased
his scalp, felling him to his knees. Owen Genty was shot thru the kidney
on the one side of him, and Gust Turnquist was hit in the knee on the
other. As he lay in the heap of wounded men a buckshot buried itself in
the side of his head near the temple. As the Verona was pulling out he
tried to crawl to shelter and was just missed by a rifle bullet from the
dock situated to the south.
