THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. X FIVE OF ALLEGED A MEIER & FRANK MERCHANDISE ORDER SOLVES THE GIFT -PROBLEM ISSUED "AT BOOTH, MAIN FLOOR. E 1 1 - ....- it w n CHIEFS IDENTIFIED mm vujmc TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1922. HNKAC Marion, uu, vec as. The prosecu tion pushed its offensive in the Herrin faassacre trial today with telling j ef fect. IJalf a dozen witnesses were in troduced who Wwbfe they Identified' the five men ion trial as leaders in j the mob. " : . j "A touch of romance was Interwoven with the "tale of horror unfolded in the courtroom wnen ' Peter Hilton."! youngest ofc th defendants, and Anna Campbell were married in the county jail. The ceremony was performed im mediately after Hilton had been taken from the courtroom where he had been identified for the first time by wit nesses as one of the slayers. j Hilton was described by Prosecutor Duty : in his opening statement to the Jury ' as the "throat cutter," the man who- went from one to the other of the wounded " victims and cut their throat. DESCRIBES DEATH MARCH As the trial progreses one fact stands out the state has inspired con fidence amdng- the better citizens and they no longer refuse to talk. And the names moat frequently mentioned as the slayers are not the names of - foreigners but good American names old family names. Dr. O. O. Shipman was one of the state's strongest witnesses Monday. He repeated the ' account of the death march from the strip mine to Herrin as related by witnesses last week. i and then identified Leva Mann as one of the leaders in the mob. "One man was holding his hand to keep- the blood in at a wound in his wrist," said 3Tr. Shipman. "Another was holding one forearm which was soaked with blood. An order was given to 'swing arms. LEADER IDENTIFIED "Who gave those orders," asked the prosecutor. "Leva Mann," the doctor replied. "The man holding his forearm did not swing his arms as ordered and a man reached through and hit him. I went ahead of the crowd. I saw them make the prisoners get down on their hands and knees and bend their heads and crawl from 10 to 20 yards. Then the order was given, 'Up and march.' " It was the march of death, according to the witness. A little further along, at the edge of the wood, some one called for a rope. "Dr. Shi pman, do you know who called for the rope?" uie witness was asked. i SIX SHOT TO DEATH "I am positive it was Percy Hall," the doctor replied. Hall is under in dictment, but not now on trial. Tied witn ropes about their necks the victims six of them were matched a little further and shot to death. Percy Howard, for whose mur der the five now on trial stand charged, was slain with this squad. Dr. Shipman said he saw 10 to 20 men shooting at the victims. "Did you recognise any of them?" "There were four I saw Joe Car oaghi, Leva Mann, Percy Hall and a man named Galligar." he replied. Car naghi and Mann are among the de fendants. SURVIVOR TESTIFIES Four survivors of the massacre ap peared today Ub testify. ' Joseph O'Rourke, left for dead on the road near the Herrin cemetery, one of the six victims tied together with a rope around their necks, was the center of interest. The four called today were O'Rourke, Wilbur Gairus, Bernard Jones and Robert Officer. The first three were armed guards sent here by a Chicago detective agency. Officer was book keeper for the mine. The four wit nesses are under heavy guard and, ap parently, anxious to get away from Williamson county at the earliest pos sible' moment. Officer was the first called to the stand. "There isn't a chance of conviction.'' That impression still prevailed in Marion and Herrin today in spite of the fact the state has practically com pleted a very imposing case against the five union miners charged with murder as a result of the Herrin massacre. Danby Asks Denby To Find Out What Can Be The Matter fcy United News) Los Angeles, Dec. 19. Sherman Dan by, manager for M me. Johanna Gad ski, has. asked that Secretary of the Navy Denby conduct an investigation to determine whether officers of battle shins at San Pedro knew of, or coun tenanced participation of enlisted men of the navy in the demonstration against Mme. Oadski last week, which caused her to cancel her engagement to sing here. Danby asserted that at a meeting , with city officials, American Legion officials here said they could produce proof that 200 sailors would join in a demonstration in case Mme. Gadskl sang. He also declared that there were many sailors in the crowd which conducted a "peaceful demonstration" before the auditorium after Mme. Gad ski withdrew. j .
