It is indicated that the defense yrill make another attempt to procure an- oiner change of venue, and further delay the case. For some days past rumor has been prevalent that Van derveer. as attorney for the defense, "would ask the state supreme court for a writ of prohibition, on the rrounds of prejudice, but the I. W. W. counsel has denied this. lhat he would attempt to procure m. chance of venue when court con venes Monday morningr was threat ened by vanderveer thi3 morninir. when he informed W. H. Abel of the defense that he would take such ac tion and that he already had prepared the affidavits of prejudice on which he will base his plea. Opinion is prev alent, however, that the defense Is fully prepared to meet this move and that upon its counter representations the charge of prejudice will be refuted And the trial proceed as set. Jury Difficulty Belittled. While the defense also insists that treat difficulty will be experienced in drawing a jury, and that more than a week will be consumed in this alone, Ihe prosecution is confident that this la an overestimates and that the jury, while difficult of selection, will be Completed within a few days. Of a previous venire, 80 names re main, while a special venire of 300, all from Grays Harbor county, rora pletes a long- list from which the Jury may be selected. Keenly interested in the case, which found its origin in the tragic death of four comrades, the American Le jrion will bo stronply represented among Montesano's transient visitovs. The legrionraires have gathered quiet ly, are holding- tholr own counsel, and are plainly resolved that order shall prevail and that no aut of theirs shall lend the torch to any outbreak. I'rediction is common that the trial of the accused I. W. W. will be un marred by any untoward incident. Lesion Opens Headquarters. Headquarters for the Legionnaires have been opened in the city hall, whore Lieutenant R. F. Vangilder, wiih J. C. Hempe as aide, both of Cen tralia, will be in charge. W. C; Schacht. also of the Centralia post, is secretary of the transferred quarters and is in charge of the commissary and is establishing headquarters in Montesano. The legion has also un dertaken the burden of seeing that the general public, as well as its own members, receive regular rations. In the fire department quarters of the city hall a huge eating house will be opened Monday, under the di rection ot me legion, tor local res taurant facilities are admittedly in capable of caring for the influx of transient guests. Plain meals will be served at a minimum price to all the hastily conjured caravansary. The case of the 11 accused will be heard concurrently, motion of the defense for separate trial having oeen lost. It is understood that in the instance of Loren Roberts, whose signed confession was made shortly after his capture, the defense will Plead insanity. The general plea of the defense for all of the accused will be that they fired in self-defense. arter the I. w. w. hall had been at tacked, during the armistice parade la Leutralia. Assault Held Planned. That the I. W. W. of Centralia, in eluding the defendants, planned the assault upon the armistice day pa rade three weeks before the parade was held and that the legionnaires did not rush the hall until the ranks had been fired upon will be the con tontion of the prosecution, which holds the signed confession of Rob erts, and is said to have other equa Important evidence to submit in sup port of such contention. The so-called Centralia case, which aroused echoes of protest throughout America, came to being in Centralia, "Wash., on armistice day, November 11. when a volley of bullets fired from ambush into the ranks of over seas veterans on gala parade killed four marchers. These were Warren O. Grimm former lieutenant, practicng attorney of Centralia; Krnest Dale Hubbard, merchant; Arthur McElfresh, drug gist, and Ben Casagranda, bootblack all men who followed the flag In the world War. Hubbard fell in the chase which ensued, when he was closing in for the capture of Wesley Everetts, one of the fleeing radicals. And Kvcretta in return expiated his deed by dangling from a little country bridge near Centralia, the victim of lynch law. Attorney Held Arrrssory. Of the 11 defendants, all are accused tit direct participation in the Centralia murders, with the exception of Elmer Fmlth, attorney who is equally charged as an accessory before the fact. The Information charging the Centralia murders covered -.13 men. Two are yet at large. These are Ole Hansen, companion of Bert Bland at the rifle ambush on Seminary hill, and John Hoe Iiavts. Hunted by posses for days following the shooting, they have been successful in eluding capture. Throughout the course of the trial the courthouse is to be closely guard ed by a force of special deputies, ap pointed by Sheriff Jeff Kartell, so that no outbreak may arise from the sympathizers of either faction in the Lssue at stake. I'ending the opening of court the anonymous penmen of the radical ele ment are busied at the writing ot threatening letters to those identified with the prosecution or with the ful fillment of the law. Unsigned, scrib bled on pages of radical propaganda and couched in terms that hint death if the demands for release are not met, the letters are tossed aside contemptuously. "I don't look for any trouble," said Sheriff Jeff Bartell. "at the same time we are ready for it." - y ' , ' " - r y , , u K4 r"j?um- ; 1 rri 1 L " -"-P i 1 r-w - A i X j i I - I mt..X&to& i iP t A i S ' ' ! ! ' li , - S i -V ?
