he various parts
of the state of Washington, and camping down on us until we surrender to
you. We are going to keep you out of here.' Now, that may not have been
strictly legal, but it was human nature.

"There is not hint anywhere in the argument of either counsel for the
defense in this case as to what was ever done in the city of Everett by
the I. W. W. that would constitute new methods and new tactics. Do you
remember the testimony over a period of time there before Labor Day that
they allowed them to speak without interference and a meeting was held
there and every time they went up with a chip on their shoulder and were
not satisfied when no one interfered with them. When they were there
speaking on the corner of Hewitt and Wetmore somebody was going around
the city of Everett distributing a nasty stinking chemical in the

ever occurred in the city. It occurred there, known to be a phosphorous
fire, and within a period of two months at least two other fires
occurred, mysterious, the origin unknown because the fire had progressed
to such an extent that no one could tell how it did start."

Mr. Vanderveer: Didn't your detective go to work September 21st?

Mr. Cooley: Yes sir, he did.

"And they would have you believe that the detective was
