Two hours after the interview was printed
Martin was arrested mt the instance of T..
V. Powderly. who alleges that Martin
libelled him in the interview.
That part of the interview of which
Powderly complains Is as follows: "Mr.
Powderly has been suspended from the
knights of Labor for refusing to turn
over To his successor the property OF the
order in his charge. This paraphernalia
relates TO the secret work of the organiza-
tion-books, documents and other arti-
cles. do not know what reasons were
given by Mr.. Powderly for not turning
over the property 10 the order, but they
were not good reasons"
Powderly claims that he turned over to
Sovereign all the books, documents and
property OF the Knights of Labor that he
had In bis possession, and that Sovereign
acknowledged the receipt Of the same.
Martin was taken before an alderman
and held in $1,000 bail for court. Powderly
now threatens TO proceed against all the
officers of the Knights of Labor who
claim that he refused to turn over the
property of the order.
