Grimm, Centralia Armistice Day parade victim, unless the detachment of regular soldiers which reached here yesterday was withdrawn, was made in open court today by George F. Van- derveer, counsel for the defendants. Vanderveer Bald that if the case w to be conducted as a "drumhead court martial' 'and not as a law case, he would Immediately withdraw. When I first heard troops were coming here I did not take it serious ly," he said in oourt. Judge. Asks I :pla nation. Vanderveer asked that Herman Al len, county attorney of Lewis county, prosecuting the case, be punished for contempt of court. Judge John M. Wilson took no ac tion relative to the matter of the pres ence of troops pending the receipt of confidential Information from state counsel relative to Its reason for ask ing for the soldiers. The court said the coming of the soldiers was a surprise that he saw no apparent reason for their presence, but that he would like to have any reasons the state could give him In confidence. This Informa tion was to be furnished later today. Trial of the case proceeded, Vander veer making a statement that he would not proceed beyond today unless the soldiers wire recalled. nulliff's Rcmovul Demanded. Vanderveer also made a demand fur the removal of A. F. Jackson, one of the bailiffs guarding the jury, declar ing that he had Information which led hlmto behove that Jackson Was not to be trusted. Judge Wilson denied the request, saying he had Investigated Juckson and had found him to be v fair man. Vandarvcer, speaking of the pres ence of trops here, said he had learn- ed that the sheriff knew nothing or their coming until a hour before their arrival, "The sheriff tells nie he didn't ask for troops," Vanderveer said. "He letfs me there is no need for them, He tell me the governor's secretary did not believe It necessary. I learned that Mr. Allen is responsible for their pres. ence. He Is not an officer of this county and has no right to ask r troops to be sent here. "Why are they here? What Is the reason for their presence? I believe that Mr. Allen should be punished for contempt of court It It be his purpose to create an impression that the I. Vr. VV. Is a lawless element threatening to break up this trial. The jury Is bound to hear of It to hear the bugle calls. It would be misconduct. Jail lii-riik Idea Saored. "I have fought military bands until I am tired of It. I will not render my self as being a party to a judicial farce. I am the master of my own des tiny in this respect. There can be no Jail break nor Jail delivery of these defendants without their consent, and they cannot be persuaded to irave here until a verdict Is rendered In t!s case. Today I fear prejudice more than I fear evidence. This is for the purpose of creating prejudice. If we cannot make Mr. Allen tell why he asked for troops, I am through with this case." Vanderveer then asked the court to request the withdrawal of the soldiers "so that the proceedings can be con ducted deliberately, from from preju dice." He said he had heard that no Jury, on Its morning walk today, had been taken past the camp of the sol diers, saying he did not know who was responsible.

"I fear the Influence ot that man. " It is well known that he has been seen whispering to the employes of th prosecution In this case." Bailiff Is Retained. Judge Wilson, saying that defenaa counsel had refused to give the basis of his objections to Jackson, declared that he would not remove the bailiff at this time, nor until he had proof that the man was not perfectly trust worthy. Herman Allen, answering Vander veer, said he had certain Information which he made known to the governor, which, In his opinion warranted the presence of troops In Montesano. The governor sent Investigators here, Allen said, the result being that the troops were asked for, W. H. Abel, of state counsel, offered to give the state's on fldentlul information to the oourt. Judge Wilson, in withholding his answer on the request for the recall of the troops, Instructed the bailiffs to not permit any ot the federal uldlers 1) attend the court sessions. Insanity Is Pled. Witnesses were placed on the stand, by the defensor today In an endeavor to prove that Loren Roberts, one of the tend defendants was Insane at the time tit the shooting and at the time he Is alleged to have signed "a purported confession. Ralph S. Pierce, Seattle attorney, testified that he saw Huberts at the time of his arraignment in Che halis, a week after the shooting, and that Roberts refused his services as an attorney. He did talk with him a day or two later, Pierce said, again de clining his legal services. 'He told me that he had told the authorities that he had killed a man. but that It was a lie," Pierce said, "Roberts declaring that he had been 'framed.' He said he had heard con versations by guards outside his Jail window; that these conversations re ferred to the possibility of lynching other prisoners, one of the guards be ing quoted as suylnk they did not thlntt they would do anything with sn (Roberts) because they thought he would tell his story. He told me that these, conversations kept up all nlghc and that the guards talked of lynch ing of Wesley Everest." Witness Forgetful. Testifying of the alleged confession made by Roberts at Olympia, Plerc said Roberts told him he thought he was In court at the time. Blnee the beginning of the present trial. Pierce said, Rooerts has asked him to take ur his defense, saying he was dissatisfied With Vanderveer. On cross-exunina-tlon Pierce testified that'Roberts, dur ing his Interview with him In the Cen tralia jail, had not mentioned any spe cific statements he Is purported to have made, especially one Inquired about when his mother and sister are said to have been present. "Ha said he did not kill Grimm," Pierce said, "but I do not recall that Grimm's name was mentioned to him." Roberts believes Vandcrvcor, de fense counsel, Is Bruce P. Dlsque, who was In charge of spruce production during the wur, according to the tes timony of Hiitt Smith and Bert Bland, two of the defendants, who took the stand after Pierce. Brltt Smith sulci Roberts had claimed he had been "framed" and that he did not like "Dlrfijue." OWEN PALMER PERSHING POINDEXTER POMERENB TAFT WILSON WOOD
