"Sid Hut- field Killed tu Uun KlBht!" t A flood of memories na .eleased by the news flash froirt Wek-h, W. Vu., were 'the youthful ex-chief of lurilce1 of Mutcwai), centnil figure 'in tWt fu- jnous "Trigger Trial," wus shot dead on August 1 by Deteetive C. M. IJve-i ly, nn equally dramatic clinructer lit the MhiKO minera' murder case. 1 i MBlcing a "good job" of It while ho had the chance, Lively also Bent a bul let into the heart of Kit Chandlers, the "baby" of defendants' row at the trial. which drugged l)wj for eiRht weeks early this year' and ended in the ac quittal of Hatfield and his IS co-de-, feudaiits. v Once more the ''Kiit hns Hpoken where the law had said "Not Guilty!" Uvely stands the avenger of the seven Baldwin-Felts detectives killed in the one-ami line half minute gun battle at the little mining town of Matpwan May 1, 120. Among the victim Were Albert ami T , lta What their brother, Tom Felts, head of the detective agency, failed to achieve with a long anVl costly trial, Jtor which he had engaged seven of the most brilliant lawyers of the south, the bullets of his "star sleuth" have done for him. Tom Felts, dreaded by the outlaw world from coasfMo coast as the most relentless man hunter; who has sent more, crooks bank robbers, highway men, feudlst--to the penitentiary than any other individual In the I'ntt l States, never tried to hide the, fact that since theIatewan tragedy nls whole life revolved around one all overshadowtng desire to fcrlng Sid Hatfield to Justice. He has hnd several chances to "pop" j him at sight, and he lias admitted to I this writer that his hand twitched each time, but ho added: Hatfield Faced Wore Charges. "My whole life has been devoted to helping the law by hunting .down Iorlminalu: I am not going to take the law into my own hands now. Hot I shall spend my last cent, the last atom of my energy, in trying to secure Hat j field's punishment!' , l ' Hatfield was under six other mur der indictments growing out of the "Battle of Matewan." So was young Chambers. So are twenty other Mate wan miners. 1 , ' The killing of his two brothers made J broken, embittered man of Tom Felts. It robbed him of his best pals, Willi whom he had worked and played for nearly half a century, i A few minutes after the" acquittal of the n'netecn aecHsed there were 21 originally: one turned state's star Witness, and tho cases - against four 'tthurs were nolle prosced the writer snw Felts In the latter's hotel room. He lay in his bed writhing with pain, threatened with pneumonia. He raised himself with difficulty on one elbow and said, amid half-euppressed nobs: "Vt'e lost. But we arc coming back. No conviction of these men seems possible In Bloody Mingo. We shall try' to fave them tried in another county, " and" his clenched fist pounded the side of the bed with er.ch word "we shall convict them the I next nine!" ( Then he sank back on his pillow land turned to the wall to hide his j t e: re; ' The bloodshed, the wittering, the romance and adventure, the bitterness and the hatreds that form the back ground of the "Trigger Trial" and the sequel at Welch last week, and of many Other tragic sequels that are sure to come, constitute a world with in Itself, and It is one that the great maaters 'of fiction would revel In cx r.lcring. for it Is replete with facts which are Indeed stranger than fic tion. Hatfield's riicanny Sml)e. f-'id Hatfield himself was a chatneter worthy of the best efforts of a I'oe, a Hugo, or aTolHtoI. His personality was strangely apparent. "Tall, ,lanky, raw-boned, rosy of complexion, with hazel eyes that glowed the full, fiery intensity of his Impulsive being, this typical son of the hills seemed one minute like nn awkward, harmless, kindly country Upy and the next like human wildcat. He would sloucn i at of the courtroom looking, from benlna, as If he had not an ounce of vey." He would hear a remark or fee' an ever bo alight touch from someone walking behind htm,, and Whftul around with the swiftness and agiiity of tho black panther. And al ways, in euch moments, his large, un couth hand,, with Its , Incongruous, slender, nimble fingers, would, by sheer instinct, fly to his hind pocket the same movement that Lively s ea gle eyes caught at Welch the other day, the hash-house sleuth's sight and trigger finger beintf Just a trifle quicker than Sid's. ' ' . ' ' ' .- : "Smiling Sid" Hatfield's smile' was, the most uncanny thing about him. It seldom came off ; : when It did the youth's face took on a wizened, with ered look, and ho seemed seventy years old instoad of twenty-six. - The Hatfield smile' was more of a grin than a sialic; there was nojnlrth In It. It was on his Hps continually through out the trial as he sat there, in the tdhvlow of the hangman's noose, Hie leader and "heVo" of that band of ac cused murderers. Wltneonis of the M'ttewan battle say It never left his lips during the bullet orgy. When It was over seven men lay dead In front of him, three others; MatewanCans. behind him. Hatfield alone was suld to have killed five of the defectives. The first thing he said was: "They shot a hole through mah hat and they shot one of mah guns out of n.ah hand. Ah reckon they all was excited. ' ' I The major pad. of uT!T people of Mutenan swore by Sid Hatfield. He w as their hero.. He was known to "go brough hell" for a friend and was equally luteii" ur nis antagonisms, lie never forgot and never fcriav. Ho was Intensely proud in mountaineer fashion. Beneath his grinning, unso phisticated exterior hn hid a world of shrendnesa and cunning. ' He was In- ten.'tetv Ausnirious and iealnas. ' Married Mayor' Widow. By his side throughout tho "trigger trial" sut Ills wife, a. handsome young woman vho hart been made a widow by tlio Mntewnn battle. Her first hus-biuid-. Mayor C. C. Tcsterman, of Ma tewan, was killed in that fight. She married Sid less than two weeks after ward. Opposite the Hatfield pair In the courtroom one day sat a reporter who lias eye trouble. When He takes off his glasses and the light shines in his eyes they twitch, . They happened to do It on this occasion.. Mrs. Hat field whispered something to her hi)n band... As if stung by ii tarantdln. Sid shot up from' his sent, bent hla tall tlg uro over the table tlmf separated him from the reporter and hissed: "The madam says uu winked, at her!" V. ,. ... V The dumbfounded scribe was speechless for a momen thon merely answered, "Hell, no!" Hatfield, his face lobster-red, eyes hurling fljflnes at the newspaperman, went oil: . ' s "If you do it ngnln I'll take you out and beat you up!" When Sid Hatfield spoka of "beat ing up" he meant the only kind he knew bnllet-bentlng. ' The reporter later explained his eye trouble to the Hntflelds. The latter said not ft word, merely grilled. The rajjortcr after that choso a seat of less propin quity to the Hatfield tjouple." Whatever may have been t!he right or wrong In the murder case, Hat field himself believed In his heart that he was a great man, a horo, a defend er of his townspeople. Ho was a fa natic on two things tho miners' union and the Baldwin-Fells Detective Agency. . , ,. . IT'nirYal Ft'tlcnics. " The Matewan battle was the result of evictions ofunlon miners carried j out that day' by thirteen Felts detee- uves. leu Aioert nna i.ee Fens. Since thitt battle all olj feud and an tagonisms In Mingo have been over shadowed Tiy the fetid between the. union miners and the Felts men.

E. Lively.' The reason Is that he executed a master piece of deception of Whh-h they no tably the accused slayers and more particularly ld 'Hatfield were the victims.. For nine years he had been a membor In good standing" of the United Jt'nA Workers of America, while, at the same time he was report ing its plans and doings to tnlt Felts agency, of Which he was the ''star" operator. The detective 'concern 1ms been for years engaged in work ' for the coal operators. Immediately aft er the gun battle ho was sent to Ma tewan to "sPe what you' ran dig up about Sid HJJtfleld arid the rest of the bunch." ; - "My boss told me," le said one day to the Writer, in telling his full story for International News Service, "to try to get the inside story about the battle, to be used against those fel lows at the trial, of each of them Theno "confeKMlohs"' Lively 1il I got the,confoHslons the witness Bland tn the Muigo county court luiuse.

If there was any evidence that might have convicted the accused uil- ; nors It was Llvely'sl But it was dis credited by tho fact that he had "play ed both ends to the middle." Ho wns pilloried as a "traitor" and "Informer"' and "union 'spy" by attorneys for the defense, whose eloquent pleas turm-d his evidence Into a boomorang for tho prosuciitlon.
