newspaper and the radio - to the

Wltoon could not remain so far
avway as Chicago s ba oasae to Capi

loom his brothers had . found for
hiav He bad a radio put in so he
eould notes In on the trial i '
Witneas after witnaca was ealled
by the District Attorney in the at
tempt to prove the presence of the
men charred with murder to the
mob that had. stormed, burned and
dynamited the Jail. The auto's wit
nesses swore to allbrr for the men
on trial. Even Sheriff Hummell
wore though the perjury came
V -
hard to Mm thai he had net
reeognized any members of the mob.
He aald they must have been men
from out of town. The bnsties at
aa imaavory inn teetifled that four
esT the defendants Dawson, Piper,
Lope and Dnrkin spent the en
tire oventoff; in the cafe of the Inn.
Defense attorney objected to al
most everything statement or Ques
tion from the District Attorney.
The Jndg threatened several times
to have the eourt cleared; a bu
billy waa thrown out of the room;
farmer fined for contempt. A de
fense lawyer Insisted that the State
produce facto instead of tittle-tattle.
"X did not put these representa
tive dUsens of Sage on the stand
eaeeept. on their oaths, to tell the
truth,17 said the District Attorney,
"and. so help them God, they are
all liars! X snail ask for their in
dictment for perjury, on the evf
dence that will prove the identity
of these defendants with that of
twenty-two active members of the
nob that burned the jail and lynch
ed Joe Wilaon. I shall introduce
that evidence how." .a
After Judge Hopkins had heard
the attorneys', arguments on the
admission of this mysterious evi
dence, a contraption covered with a
sheet was wheeled into the court
room by two attendants. It proved
to be a motion picture projection
machine. Against the back wall
had been arranged an Improvised
screen; The Judge warned the spec
tators against any demonstration
and ordered the District Attorney
to proceed. .-.-'..-...
