WOMAN WRITER DENOUNCED Tnton Officials Declared by Jndye to Be in Outrageous Contempt and Counsel Repudiate ' Of fensive Publications. vowed the sentiments expressed In the article Pointing toward the, table where sat about ten attorneys for the defense. Judge Anderson said he had In mind certain persons who represented them selves to be attorneys, "and if I learn to be true, things which I have heard of these attorneys, the arm of the law will deal heavily with them," he added. Concerning Miss Field, who has been present In the courtroom for several weeks, District Attorney Miller said she had often been seen in the com pany of the defendant, Olaf A. Tvelt moe, of San Francisco, "who conducted the same sort of a publication as 'that which published Miss Field's article." Hockin Act as Stool-Pf arson. Lindsey L Jewell had testified that In August, 1910, the month before the I08 Angeles explosion. Hockin had been giving Information about the dy namiters, that soon after the explo sion there Hockin worked directly with William J. Burns, a detective, to whom he described fully Just who the dynamiters were; that Hockin, while still an official of the union worked for pay in trailing" the dynamiters about the country with Burns four months before the arrests were made, and that Hockin had sale, he overheard a conversation between J. J. MeNa mara and President Lynch, of the In ternational Typographical Union, about a proposed explosion on the Pacific Coast. The court's action in increasing Hockin's bond and in denouncing cer tain of the defendants for publishing articles In criticism of the trial came after the jury had retired for the day. Woman's Writings Quoted. An extract from Miss Field's article, to which the District Attorney referred as typical was: "On the 6th of October these 45 de fendants walked into court and pleaded 'not guilty' to the charges of the steel trust. Then began the farce of trial, a trial In which money, prestige, pow er, was the prosecutor of want and obscurity, a trial In which the steel trust masqueraded as the Government." The magazine had published this a few days ago and It was circulated in the courtroom. "In view of Mr. Jewel's testimony about Hockin and in view of what has happened here today, I wish to ask the court to increase to $20,000 not only the bonds Sf Hockin, but of all the other defendants who are mem bers of the union's executive board." raid District Attorney Miller, after the jury had retired. "I don't care -now to say what I am led to believe the defendant Hockin intends to do, but I think in the In terest of justice heavier bonds should be required. Woman Described Anarchist. "It appears from the articles criticis ing this trial, which I read from the union magazine this morning, that there is an anarchist In the court room, who has been meddling with these defendants. , "To whom do you refer?" asked Judge Anderson. "I refer to Miss Mary Field, and I ask that she be excluded from court hereafter. "She has been seen mingling with the defendants and talking to them In a manner which places her In con tempt of court. 8he goes in a-nd out of the court with the defendant Tveit moe. whoxalso writes for a publication similar to that In which Miss Field's article was published. Placed In the official organ of the union, most of whose officials are now on trial here. Miss Field's articles and the articles of the executive board put them all in jeopardy of contempt. They call this trial a farce. I ask that the bonds of the executive board members be in creased to $20,000 each." Judge Admonishes Counsel. Judge Anderson said: "I did not Intend to take any notice of the articles read to the Jury, but since they have been referred to I will bay 1 never heard of such an outrage ous contempt of court. If any mem ber of the bar here "present has given his sanction to that publication he is in contempt. If I find out that any attor ney has given his sanction, the hand of the law will fall heavily on him. Certain men representing themselves to be attorneys are here and if I learn to be true certain things it is reported they have said, the hand of the law will deal heavily with them too. "It appears that the friends of some of these defendants are determined to make It appear that the defendants are not to receive a fair trial. I want it known that this trial is being con ducted with absolute fairness, and no evidence has been Introduced not in accord with the law. " These men will set a fair trial and I am determined that no Innocent man shall be convict ed and no guilty one shall escape the consequences of his acts. As for that woman, I hope she will not appear in this courtroom again. You notice I say I hope she will not appear here again. Hockin ot to Be Trusted. "I will Increase Hockin's bond. The evidence has shown that he is a man who cannot be trusted by anybody at any time of the day. He has betrayed every person with whonf he has had to deal. But as it is Saturday I will not consider Increasing the bonds of the others. Hockin will be taken In cus tody." Mr. Harding, counsel for the defense, aid: "The court knows tht as an attor ney In this case I had no knowledge of the publication of the criticism of this trial. I put my seal of condemna tion upon them. I will go further and say had we wanted to commit suicide so far as this case Is concerned, we could not have dona It in any surer way. I was so surprised when I learned these defendants had published such an article I could not believe it. They could not have made a worse mis take." Others of the attorneys for the de fense who disavowed the articles were Senator Kern, Chester Krum, St. Louis, M. C. TiffU Minneapolis, and Walter L. Ball, Muncle, Ind. ( Jewel In willing- Wltursa. Mr. Jewel's testimony was one of the unexpected Incidents' of the day. He formerly was connected with a steel construction firm in Pittsburg and In 1911 went to Panama as an engineer. He announced on the stand that he testified because he "had to," and DiBtrict Attorney Miller said It was necessary to take action through the State Department to Induce Mr. Jewel to appear. Mr. Jewel testified that Inthe Sum mer of 1910 before the Los Angeles explosion Hockin went to his office in Pittsburg and offered to give-Information about nitroglycerin hidden In an old cooper shop near Roohester, Pa. "Go to an old house beside the river and three paces beneath the floor yon will find 62 quarts of nitroglycerin.? was the Information Jewel" said Hockin gave him. "Hockin placed me under bonds of secrecy and I have never told anyone or repeated it until now," said Jewel. "He said explosions involving whole sale murders were planned by union officials, and be would not stand for it. I told him he might confide la me and I would never tell who told. Explosive Found Under Floor. "He then said a plan was on foot , juim tha Tltttihuror & Lake Erie bridge near Beaver, Pa-, under a loaded passenger train. Ha said ii J. wouia go to an old house along the river a P,-iBtr T would find beneath the floor at three points S3 quarts of ni troglycerin. Tne next cay we went iu Rochester on the same train, agreeing not to speak to each other. I followed Hockin along the river and into the houife. and, pulling up the boards, found the nitroglycerin. "I told Hockin our confidence was only as to his Identity. So the next ETTOB INSISTS OH ADDRESSING JURY Textile Strike Leader Says He Is Being Prosecuted for His Social Views. SELFISH MOTIVE DENIED "I Iake No Threats, but History lVoees". He Say Prosecutor Interrupted a He Accuse Defendant of Guile. 'SALEM, Mass., Nov. 23. Joseph J. Ettor. leader of the Lawrence textile strike, on trial as an accessory in the fnl plea. Life was sweet, he said, a wife loved him, a mother loved him and he had ideals that he loved. He felt the passion of living and did not want to die su-martyr, but to, live for the betterment, of men. If he could live he would go on as he hadsbeen doing. If he had to die, he took solace in the thought that he would go to a higher judgment seat. There was a hush over the courtroom as Glovannltti sat down. Not a man or woman moved for several tense mo ments. Then Judge Qulnn, apologizing to the Jurors, announced that he would be compelled to hold them further, as he would not deliver his charge in the case until Monday morning. i The prisoners were driven back to the jail through streets lined with their friends and followers, who oheered them loudly as fhey passed, FATHER AVERTS, TRAGEDY When River Engnlfs Team, He Swims With Boy to Shore.

Wendt his engineer, to take away tne explosive. "When I again met Hockin he re peated he was opposed to the whole sale murder of innocent people. I gave him my address, telling him to send me any further information. He agreed If he wrote- he would sign the name "Stone.' Peoria Explosion Forecast. "In September. 1910. I received a tnlenhone call from Hockin, saying something was about to happen at Peoria ill., and I would have to be quick. He said it would happea that night or the next night.' I called up Mr. Johnson, general manager of a railroad at Peoria, and ' told him an other attempt was to be made there and for him to get out hiswatchmen. Nevertheless an explosion occurred in Peoria September 4. "About ten days after tne JjOb Ange les Times explosion I went to Detroit to see Hockin." "You wanted to learn who the dy namiters were, did you?" "Naturally. By agreement I regis tered at a hotel in Detroit as L B. Stone and Hockin called on me. "We talked about the Times explo sion. I told him he ought to make a clean breast of it and tell all he knew. He said the dynamite campaign was being handled by only one or two men. I said that was absurd. He replied he was willing to tell all he knew, but he said he never would testify at any trial and the information, would have to come from outside sources. If put on the stand he would declare it was all a lie. . . Lynch' Name Brought In. "Then he said James B. McNamara Dulled oft the Los Angeles Times ex plosion and was to stop at Kansas City on the way back and cause an explo sion there. Hockin related a conver sation he said he overheard between John J. McNamara and President Lynch, of the International Typo graphical Union." The following is the verbatim ac count of a portion of Jewel's testi mony: Q. I wish you would proceed and tell the jury what that conversation was whether you like to tell it or not' doesn't make any difference; go ahead and tell what else was said, if you remember, at that time, in Detroit, If there was anything more said? A. Well. I tried to feet Information In regard to the Los Angelea Times explosion and I was told that Jim McNamara had pulled that Job off.. Q. You were told by Hockin tnat7 A. Yes,' sir. Q. Did he tell you where this scheme originated .about destroying the Los Angeles Times? Talk With Lrnch Alleged. A. Yes, sir. he said their Iron Work- erks' Union had no interest In it; that McNamara had taken It up just for the money he would get out of It. -Q. Could you tell of a conversation he overheard between the defendant, T. J. McNamara, and Lynch, the presi dent of the International Typograph ical Union? A. Yes, sir, he told me of a conver sation, i Q. What was that conversation that he said he overheard between J. J. Mc Namara and Lynch, the president of the International Typographical Union?, A. He said they met In the lobby Of a hotel in Indianapolis and that Mc Namara asked Lynch: "Lynch, why in hell don't you fellows pull something off on the Coast?" and that Lynch made some reply that was inaudible and McNamara then said: "Well. 1 can give you a men that has got the nerve If you can get the money, ana they walked away together. Q. That Is. Hockin said Lynch' and McNamara walked together at that time? . A. Yes, sir. Q. Then what did Hockin say to you about Jim McNamara being sent to the Coast? Jewel said that after the Detroit conference he returned to Pittsburg and informed the chief of detectives what he knew. He was referred by the chief to WlUllam J. Burns, to whom Jewel at tha,t time (a few weeks after the Times explosion ) saio. ne gave a full description of McNamara and Or tie F. McManigal. The government here Introduced letters and telegrams purporting to have passed between Hockin ' and Jewel. Some of these gave accounts of places Hockin visited and exposed expense accounts. murder of Anna Lopizzo, insisted to day upon addressing the jury In his ow"n behalf when District Attorney Attwlll completed his closing argu ment for the prosecution. Rising in the cage, and trembling with emotion, Ettor declared: "I have been tried here not upon my acts, but upon my political and so cial views. I make no threats, but his tory does. History records things, with a little variation here and there, but nothing can efface the fact that because of my political and Socialis tic views' I am brought to the bar. I am compelled to speak because of that fact. Rlgbt of Speech Defended. "Mr. Attwill intimated that I did not know the traditions of Massachusetts and that I was treasonable because I spoke' to foreigners. Under the right of free speech guaranteed by the con stitution, I had a right to speak to these people. Have I not the right to point out how human beings had been outraged? "I did not understand when I went to school and when I read the Consti tution that such was treasonable con duct. In doing that I suddenly find myself accused of murdering my sis ter because I spoke to strikers who were not born in this country. I am accused of murder because of my speeches. By insinuation and by in uendo it is argued that when I smiled It was a signal for, someone to go and get a shotgun. Capitalists Held to Blame. "This is not a question of the com monwealth. The shame and blot does not fall on tne commonwealth, but on capitalists of Massachusetts who have taken human beings and reduced them to mere appendages of machines. "It Is true I have no relatives or property in Massachusetts, but I have what is dearer than that brothers and sisters who called me to aid them." ' The prisoner then told of the strike, the streetcar riots and the killing of Anna Lopizzo. Ettor interrupted the proseoutor in the early stages of the closing ad dress to the Jury. District Attorney Attwill, after reading from the by-laws of the Industrial Workers of the World, argued that they provided for revenue from individual members to finance the executive board and that Ettor had a motive to Increase the membership when he went to Lawrence, "No, air," shouted Ettor, half rising In his seat. The defendant's face flushed red with anger. Glovannltti, sitting beside him, grabbed him- by the coat. His attorney, s3. P. S. Ma honey, quickly beckoned to Ettor to re strain himself and? from someone In the crowd behind the rail there came suppressed applause . as the' Sheriff rapped for order and the incident passed. Innocent Intent Asserted. Ettor protested Innocence of murder or Inciting to riot, not only for himself but for his - companions. He urged that if the Jury thought . them guilty they should receive the death penalty, not be shut up. in prison where they could not continue their work for the betterment of the working class and ultimate attainment of their ideal, a condition where laborers would earn all the profit of their labor. He pictured the cross, the guillotine, the gallows and the electric chair as unable through all history to choke a righteous cause, and ended in a plsa for "simple Jus tice." " Then Glovannltti rose from his place beside his comrade. His face seemed swollen with emotion, his eyes welling with tears. He said he was about to make the first public speech he had ever uttered In "your beautiful lan guage." Leaning toward Mr. Atwill Glovan nltti said in a trembling voice: "'So solemn Is this moment, so full with clashing emotions am I now, that I do not know whether I ever will con clude what I have to say." . Idea Declared Preposterous. Then he straightened up in the cage and, for 20 minutes spoke as one in tha crisis of passion. He did not dis cuss the evidence, but what he called "the preposterousness of the i3ea" that such as he and his comrades could have been guilty of a murderous thought. Whirling around with a violent gesture, he said: "If there is a man in the courtroom who has murder in his heart, he Is not In this cage." Then he went on to tell of his life story, his ambition, his seizure upon the cause of Socialism as the solution of human. ills, and ended with a taax-, horses getting into soft bottom floun dered and forced the other horse into deeo water. Mr. Carter, realizing his danger, at tempted to swim the team across tne river and succeeded In doing so until "within a short distance from the oppo site bank, when a whirlpool caught one of the horses, taking it down and with It the mate. Both horses were drowned. 1 Mr. Carter, taking the little boy In his arm, swam to shore, but it was a struggle. -. .. CRIPPLE PLANS LONG HIKE Spokane s One-Legged.
