GETS MURDER CASE
Court's Charge and Closing
Arguments Heard.
OUTSIDE GUARDS ILLEGAL
Knowledge of Premeditated Crime
. Declared Sufficient to Convict
Regardless of Acts.
'Continued From First Pae-e.)
crime, began his instructions to the
jury.
Interpreting the law of self-defense,
the court declared the right of any
person or persons to defend life or
property, and to arm themselves in
anticipation of such defensive meas
ures, but instructed the jury that
this right does not admit of the sta
tioning of armed defenders at out
side points as was instanced in the
defensive plans, and their culmina
tion by the Centralia I. W. W.
Outxide Guards Tnwarranted.
"You are Instructed," said Judge
Wilson, "that any person or persons
has or have the right to defend him
self, or themselves, or their property,
from actual or threatened violence,
and to that and to arm themselves,
but this right does not go to the
extent of stationing armed men in
outside places for the purpose of
shooting the persons, real or appar
ent, from whom force or violence is
exprcted.
"If you find that any -wo or more of
the defendants, in the manner and
form and at the time charged in the
information, planned to defend the
I. W. W. hall or the property therein,
or any of the persons therein, by the
stationing of armed men in the Ava-
lon hotel, the Arnold hotel and on
Seminary hifl, for the purpose of
shooting from those points, the plac
ing of such men and the shooting
from outside points, would not be
lawful acts.
Such Killing; Meld t nlanfal.
"And if you find that any two or
more of the defendants so planned
and any two cr more of the defend
ants carried out said lan, and as a
natural, necessary or probable result
thereof. Warren O. Grimm was shot
and killed, then such killing would be
unlawful and would be murder."
Further interpreting this instruc
tion. Judge Wilson declared that a
conspiracy may be established by cir
cumstantial evidence the same as by
fact, whether the identity of the indi
vidual who committed the act be es
tablished or not.
"If the jury believes in this case,"
said Judge Wilson, "beyond reason
able doubt that the defendants, or any
of them, conspired and agreed togeth
er, or with others, to do an unlawful
act, or a lawful act by unlawful
means, and that in furtherance of the
common design and by a member of
such conspiracy. Warren O. Grimm was
killed, then these defendants, whom
the jury believes were parties to such
conspiracy, are guilty of the murder
of Warren O. (Jrimm, whether the
identity of the incVvidual doing the
killing be established or not and
whether such defendants were pres
ent at the time of the killing or not.
.Evidence I DiNeunard.
"You are instructed," said Judge
Wilson, "that while the law requires,
in order to find all the defendants
guilty, that the evidence should prove
beyond a reasonable doubt that they
ail acted in concert in the commission
of the crime charged, still it is not
necessary that It should be positively
proved that all met together and
agreed to commit the crime; such
concert may be proved by circum
stances, and if from the evidence the
Jury is satisfied beyond a reasonable
doubt that the defendants are guilty,
they should find them guilty."
As Judge Wilson read his instruc
tions, which practically cut away the
plea of self-defense for all of the ac
cused, if the state's allegation of con
spiracy, be proved, the defendants
leaned forward and listened closely.
Mike Sheehan. grizzled old timber-
jack chewed gum vigorously. Loren
Koberts, who entered the plea of in
canity, had not the vestige of a smile.
His lace was tense and serious.
Insanity Flea Considered.
Concerning Roberts' plea of insan
iiy, me court instructed the jurors to
weigh the evidence and testimony be-
lore mem, Dearing in mind the de
meanor of the prisoner throughout
me trial, ine testimony of alienists,
wno were caiiea lo express opinions
on the mental condition of Roberts,
need not De accepted as final by the
jurors, instructed the court. The true
test, the Instructions continued, was
the ability of accused to determine
the Issue of right and wrong. In the
Instance of Roberts, the court In
structed the jurors that special ver
dict blanks would be given them
to his past and present mental con
dition or the likelihood of a recur
rence of insanity, should the jury de
termine mat he was not sane when
the crime was committed.
Attention Called to Witnesses.
Juasro Wilson charged the Jurors
that it Is their duty to take into
consideration, in weighing testimony
the manner of witnesses on the stand
their candor and their intelligence.
ana to give creait accordingly.
Concerning the alleged alibi of the
defendant, Kugene Barnett, that he
was not present in the Avalon. hotel
at the time the state contends he
fired from an upper window. Judge
Wilson bade the jurors weigh the evi
dence impartially in an endeavor to
reach a true conclusion regarding his
whereabouts. But If the jury deter
mines that Barnett, regardless of
where he was or whether he fired,
was a party to the conspiracy, then
the defendant Is equally guilty.
"If you have a reasonable doubt
about the matter, said Judge Wilson,
concerning the alibi, "you will find
the defendant Eugene Barnett not
guilty, unless you find beyond a rea
sonable doubt that he was a party
to an unlawful conspiracy, the nat
ural and probable result of which
was to kill Warren C. Grimm."
Earn Caae Held Separate.
Judge Wilson Instructed the jurors
that they must consider the guilt or
Innocence of each defendant sepa
rately and apart from that of his co
defendants. The court also cautioned
the Jurofjs against permitting preju
dice to creep into their deliberations,
because of the fact that the accused
are members of the I. W. W.. and
instructed them that the organization
and its creed are hot on trial.
Concerning Elmer Smith, attorney
defendant, who counseled the L W, W.
to defensive measures, the court held
that if the Jury finds Smith did no
more than advise the other defend
ants to resist and endeavor to repel
assault, that it should acquit him.
The verdict with respect to Smith,
said Judge Wilson, must be either
first degree murder or acquittal.
Vanderreer Talks Two Hoars.
George F. Vanderveer. counsel for
the defendants, spoke for almost two
hours, beginning his arguments at
7:15. After a brief recess he was suc
ceeded by W. H. Abel, .special prose
cutor, who delivered the closing argu
ment for the state.
Addressing the Jury in a level,
rather tired tone, taat rose to ve
hement assertion and denunciation
before he had closed, the I. W. W.
counsel declared his belief that the
Centralia radicals obeyed the dictates
of manhood when they prepared to
resist any raid upon their hall. He
reiterated his belief that the evi
dence and the testimony shows that
Loren Roberts is insane, and bitterly
assailed Dr. William House of Port
land, alienist, who testified that the
defendant was "faking."
Alibi for Barnett Claimed.
Vanderveer also asserted that an
alibi had been conclusively proved for
Kugene Barnett, defendant, and that
the jury should be convinced that
Barnett was not in the Avalon firing
at the parade, that he bore no part in
the attack.
He charged the state to recollect
that. In his opening statement, he had
challenged state counsel to stand or
fall by the Issue of who was the ag
gressor, and that such had been the
agreement. Forty or fifty defense
witnesses, he told the jury, had testi
fied that the paraders rushed the hall
before shots were heard.
"You kick a dog around long
enough and he'll bite you," said Van
derveer, referring to an alleged com
mercial conspiracy against the I. W.
W. "They kicked this dog too long."
Opinion Is Held Shocking.
"To me it is a shocking thing,"
said the I. W. W. counsel, "that an
agreement among workingmen to de
fend their hall, their rights, freedom
of speech and assembly, could ever
have been held guilty of conspiracy."
"I say to you that if your verdict
stamps the seal of approval upon
raids, on mob law, then it will in
deed be the end of good government
In this country at least for the
workingman.
"Do not be Influenced by your
cowardice. If you haven't the cou
rage to do what I am doing, then
never again pretend to believe in this
cause."
State's Argument Henri!.
C. D. Cunningham, special prose
cutor. opened in argument for the
state at 4 o'clock after Judge Wil
son had delivered his instructions
to the jury. Determination not to
permit the trial to enter another
day caused Ju-J-re Wilso.i to ask the
jurors i they would consent to
night session in ordr that arguments
might be concluded and ".he case Ielt
to their delibcrition. A chorus of
affirmatives aiis.vered the court.
In his instructions Judge Wilson
had advised the jurors that the law
of self-defense does not admit of the
stationing of riflemen outside the
premises to be defended, and that if
Warren O. Grimm was killed in thi
fruition of any conspiracy so to lo
cate riflemen, then all parties to that
conspiracy were guilty of his murder.
Part of Each Analyzed.
Defendant by defendant, Cunning
ham held their participation up to
the jury, analyzed the share each bore
in the lurid events of armistice day
in Centralia and declared their guilt.
As for the insanity plea of Loren
Roberts, the special prosecutor told
the jurors that he held it as too
trivial to argue a matter which must
already have been decided in their
own minds.
Persuasive, eloquent, forceful, Cun
ningham asserted that each and all of
the defendants must have known of
the conspiracy to station riflemen
outside the hall, and that all, by rea
son of that knowledge, should be held
euilty of the murder of Warren O.
Grimm.
He scored the Rev. T. T. Edmunds,
defense witness, who admitted on the
stand that Grimm was without blame
in the tragedy, and who suggested in
a lotter to George F. Vandeveer,
I. W. VV. coirnsel, a line of apparent
testimony that would seem to Impli
cate Grimm in an overt act.
Hev. Timothy Flayed.
"So interested was the Rev. Timothy
in truth and justice,'' charged Cun
ningham, "that he devised a plan
whereby thee men would be acquit
ted. One of the most humorous fea
tures of this case Is that this very
plan, proposed by the frock-coated
preacher, has been followed by the
defense in this case. I do not charge
that counsel accepted It it was
merely the queer meeting of two
great minds.
"What .did Edmunds find, with re
spect to Grimm, after 35 days' investi
gation? He said, as Pontius Pilate
did 2000 years ago, 'I find no fault
with this man.' If these defendants
are turned loose as guiltless, such
action will mean that good govern
ment in the United States is at an
end.
"It will mean anarchy and red mur
der, such as I saw on the streets of
Centralia on the 11th day of Novem
ber, 1919."

XEW CHARGES ARE FILED
Defendants Now Accused of Mur
der, of Arthur SIcElfresh.
MONTHS ANO, Wash., March 12.
(Special.) At the close of the case
against the accused charged with the
murder of Warren O. Grimm, and but
a few hours before Judge John M.
Wilson was to give his instructions
to the jury, new information against
the defendants was filed at Che
halis, charging them with the murder
of Arthur McElfresh, one of the four
victims of Centralia's armistice day
tragedy.
Herman Allen, prosecuting attor
ney for Lewis county, present at the
trial, announced that the information
was filed shortly before noon today,
by telephone confirmation, the docu
ment having been forwarded to Che-
halis yesterday. The information was
to have been filed late today, but the
possibility that the jury might re
turn a verdict before new warrants
were received dictated the precau
tionary necessity for immediate filing.
The defendants named in the Mc
Elfresh Information are identical with
those now on trial, and include es
caped racidals who have never been
apprehended for their alleged parti
cipation in the Centralia crime.
These defendants are Britt Smith,
O. C. Bland, John Doe Davis (uncap-
tured), James Mclnerney, Loren Rob
erts, Elmer Smith, Eugene Barnett,
Mike Sheehan, Bert Bland, John Lamb
and Ole Hanson, the latter also un
captured. As in the present case.
Elmer Smith is charged with being an
accessory before the fact. The names
of 76 witnesses, most of whom have
testified for the state in the present
case, are appended to the information.
According to testimony incidental
to the present case, Arthur McElfresh,
youthful overseas veteran and Cen
tralia druggist, was slain at the cor
ner of the variety store, north of
the I. W. W. hall, as he sought shelter
from the storm of lead. A 22-caliber
high power bullet drove through his
brain, and McElfresh fell 'in his
tracks, one comrade testifying that
he had to leap to avoid striking the
plunging body. The defense, during
the trial for the murder of Grimm,
has by two or three witnesses sought
to show that McElfresh was killed
before the I. W. W. hall, but the testi
mony of state witnesses and even of
defense, who saw him fall or who saw
the body as it lay huddled in death,
is conclusive in demonstrating that
the legionnaire met almost instant
death at the corner of the variety
store.
BOISE, Idaho, March 12. (Special.
Joseph T. Pence, former state chair
man of the democratic committee an
a prominent attorney of Boise, may
be the standard bearer of the demo
cratic party for governor during th
next campaign. This is the informa
tion that followed closely on the heel
of the gathering of Bourbons at Mos
cow in response to the call of Chair
man Jerome J. Day. That meeting
was for the state committee to nam
the places for holding the two state
conventions and to set the necessary
machinery in motion to select dele
gates to the national convention at
San Francisco and the nominating
convention which will name the
party's congressional and state candi
dates.
The leaders who gathered there
took advantage of the opportunity to
canvas the available timber for cand
dates. Mr. Pence is said to have been
one of the few men looked upon a
strong enough to draw to his support
all factions in the party. While Pence
has been closely allied with the po
lltical life of United States Senator
John F. Nugent, he is not considered
a factional man. The Hawley demo
crats here believe he would be
strong candidate.
Non-Partisans Losing; Gronnd.
The friends of Senator Nugent were
well represented at the conference at
Moscow. While it was realized that
a fight is likely to be made on the
junior senator within his party by
the anti-Nugent democrats, on the al
leged grounds that he was too closely
identified with the Non-partisan
league, this movement does not ap
pear to have gained material strength
during the past week.
The outcome of the conference is
summarized by Fred Floed, a war
horse of the party, secretary to Gov
ernor Hawley while he was in office
and until recently editor of the dem
ocratic state mouthpiece, the New
Freedom. "The distinctive and out
standing feature of the meeting." he
said, "was the sincere desire of the
committee men to get together. So
evident was this that the meeting
largely partook of a Gaston and Al
phonse dialogue, each speaker being
willing and anxious to defer to any
suggestion made by anyone.
"Beneath the surface could be plain
ly seen a determination to cut loose
from the Non-partisan league. This
is to be the sole price of harmony.
The state nominating convention
must be a democratic convention, con
trolled by democrats and made up of
democrats. The ticket must be made
without any bargaining for indorse
ment at the hands of the Non
partisans. The friends of Senator
Nugent, who apparently have control
of the party, recognize this fact. But
let the result be what it may, the
Non-partisans are to understand their
forcible alliance with democracy is
ended."
Apportionment Almost Doubled.
Instead of adopting the apportion
ment reached by the secretary of
state for the nominating convention
and applying it "to the delegate con
vention, as was done by the repub
lican committee, the democrats at the
Moscow conference, almost doubled it
so that it will seat 318 delegates at
the Lewiston conclave. The question
has arisen as to whether the new
election law permits the paying of
expenses of delegates to the delegate
conventions as it does for delegates
to the nominating conventions Attorney-General
Black has ruled that
such delegates can be paid in num
bers equal to the apportionment.
It was supposed by leaders of all
the parties that the legislature only
ntended to meet the transportation
expenses of delegates selected to the
state conventions which place in
nomination the congressional and
state tickets, and that the law does
not apply to delegate conventions.
Attorney-General Black seems to take
a different view. His opinion was
given to Dave Burrell, who is in
charge of republican state headquar
ters here and who asked for an in
terpretation of the law from the
slate's legal department. The legis
lature appropriated $7500 to meet the
expenses of delegates.
"It is clear," says Attorney-General
Black "that in no event are all actual
expenses to any convention to be paid
by the state, but only railroad fare
The more important question is as to
what conventions the provision for
the payment of railroad fares ap-'
plies. X cannot see that any argu
ment can be hinged on the fact that
more attention is devoted to one than
the other. It is therefore my opinion
that the railroad fare of a delegate
to any one of the three kinds of con
ventions mentioned in the act can be
legally paid, so long as the fund ia
not exhausted. It hardly seems pos
slble that ,7500 will pay such ex
penses for both parties for the bien
nium."
