opened up with heavy artllleo- today
in the f'entralia murder trial when
Tom .Morgan, one of the members of
the I. W. W. arrested In the hall after
Armistice day shootings, testified re
garding happenings of that day.
His most telling testimony was the
statement that the first shols were
fired from the building across the
treet from the I. y. hall. Morgan
said: "Home soldiers were marking
lime and others were closing up
when the first shots were fired. The
first shots were fired from one of the
buildings across the street.

I While the former member of the I.
, W. W. was telling his story the II

flushed with anger. They showed
j more tense feeling than at any time,
since the opening of the trial. As the'
witness mentioned the part taken in !

The witness told of a visit which
Attorney diner Smith made a short
time before the parade. "I saw IJiitt i
Smith pointing out to him a rooming:

"Didn't he say something to BrKt
about doing bis duty?" the prosecutor
asked.
"Well, he asked Hritt If he had
enough men. Then after he left Hritt !
said: 'It's pretty nice to have an at
torney drop in and tell you to do your
duty. 3iwer Smith said he was go
