Testimony Presented by De
fense as to Shooting of
First Union Miner
MARION, 111., Dec. 22. (By
the Associated Press) -The' kill
ing of the first of the union min
ers slain during the Herrln riots
was described today by Edward
Crenshaw, one of the first wit
nesses for the defense at the trial
of five men charged with murder
in connection with the slaying of
20 non-union workers during the
outbreaks.
The defense began introducing
Its testimony at the opening of
the morning session.
Stock is Killed
A number of the first witnesses
called' testified that the ' teritory
surrounding' the mine was peace
ful and quiet until union workers
had been discharged and non-union
men and armed guards sent
Into the pit by the coal company.
' Several witnesses testified that
the guards had gone up and down
the public highway near the mine
in a motor truck, each one car
rying two pistols and a rifle, that
they held up and searched peace
ful travelers, shouted at women
and warned everyone to stay off
the road ater sundown.
Other witnesses told of hiding
In their cellars when the shooting
began at the mine between 1:30
and 2 p. m. the afternoon of June
21 and after having their stock
killed by shots from the mine.
Sees Miner Shot
It was during this shooting that
Edward C. Crenshaw . who testi
fied that he was a former union
miner and had lived a half mile
from the Lester mine all his life.
said he saw the shooting of Jardy
Henderson, the first union man
killed.
Crenshaw said he was standing
in front of his home when he saw
Henderson, who was unarmed.
Bullets began to come from the
direction of the mine.
"Did you see any one shot?"
"Yes; they said his name was
Henderson and he fell about 100
yards from my house. He must
have been killed Instantly."
The cross examination of Mr.
Crenshaw as postponed until to
morrow. -

Plan First Suggested by Of
ficials of Chamber of
Commercei of U. S.
WASHINGTON, i Dec. 22. (By
the Associated Press.) The sit
uation relative to extension of
American aid toward an Euro
pean reparations settlement con
tinued today to present a badly
beclouded picture on which little
light was thrown from any quar
ter. American officials reiterated
their denials of government back
ing at the present 6tage for the
American commission ' plan spon
sored by commercial leaders and
ofvarious published, statements
regarding the direction in which
American official opinion was
tending.
No Denial,
But there was no plear-cut de
nial that high officials in Wash
ington had discussed the commis
sion "proposal earnestly among
themselves and with others and
no one attempted to give the im
pression that the United States
government .'would be displeased
should the discussion now in pro
gress result in any agreement.'
In all of their negative com
ment on the subject, state depart
ment authorities seemed most
anxious to deny that the govern
ment itself, despite' the close
touch it is maintaining with the
situation, was in any way a party
at the present time to the plan
for a survey commission, suggest,
ed first in this country by officials
of the Chamber of Commerce: of
the United States.
Prediction Offered
The only inkling as to the
hopes of the American govern
ment 'in its efforts to find a way
to a reparations settlement was a
prediction made today that if it
ever became -possible to announce
any official plan, it would be
found to be a very practical pro
posal, lacking in any sensational
Qulity. Anything that is being
done officially in theway of get
ting a clear understanding of the
governmental attitudes abroad, it
was indicated, was aimed at such
a conception of the problem to be
solved. -

Fred Erixon, Who Has Been
Working it Three Years,
Is Feeling Elated
Aha! Who's T this gentleman
stalking down the street with a
trigger smile broader than Santa
Claus ever wore, With his chin in
the air and a general air of "We
won!" sticking out all over him?
It is Fred Erixon, and he has
something to smile about. His
Highway addition Is bought and
paid for, and he has the deeds in
his pocket. What looks like a
puff chest is the roll of papers
and receipts, every nickle paid for
and the new road ready to deed
over to the cityC
The two deeds from the origin
al landowners were taken up Fri
day, the money being paid over,
and the property now being ready
for Te-deedlng to Its new owners.
This will be done as Boon as the
plats can be officially approved.
They have to go" through a rather
elaborate series of examinations;
the county assessor, the city en
gineer, the city council, and the
county commissioners. But all
these are masters of clerical form
mostly. The road plats and dedi
cations are ready to file1 and deed
over to the publie, and when that
is done the matter will be settled.
Mr. Erixon has worked on this
road-opening for three years, and
be feels that now be' has earned
the right to crow k bit, or at least
to take a good long. breath and
call the finish his Christmas gift
to the city of Salem and the trav
eling public ai large.
