went on TO tell his story and spoke for
an hour without interruption. Ee told OF
the trouble with the strikers and how
on Thursday ne went TO Cranberry and
dispersed Some OF them who were try
Ing to prevent men from going 20 work.
He described his movements Friday,
when the shooting occurred. as follows:
"The mob swore at US when we ap-
preached, cursed me and would not
bulge when told them to do so. I
read my proclamation and walked
through them, asking them to so home.
One young man swore at me violently.
and said they would so TO Lattlmer In
spite Of me. arrested him. One man
picked up stone, but dropped 1t when
I pointed my revolver at him;
y told a crowd OF spectators to go
home, as the strikers were desperate
and there might be trouble. Finally
the strikers left the road and started OF
over some lots. Soon 1 heard they
were going to Lattimer and hurried of
with my deputies TO intercept them. I
told them TO keep cool, and not to shoot
unless their lives or mine were In dan
ger. After lining them up alongside
the road told them would 30 out to
meet the strikers and try once more to
d!sperse them. A deputy asked me II
he should not go with me. NO, re-
piled. I'll go alone thought one man
was enough to die ut once. i felt some
how there was going to be trouble. I
met the strikers about fifty yards from
the deputies and asked them where they
were going.

II told them they must not 60, and
tried to read my proclamation to them,
but they crowded around me, swearing
at me and hustlIns me to one side. One
man tried to grab me. and I then at
tempted to get hold OF him. but the
crowd jumped on nc and pounded me
about the body. dropped, my paper
and pulled my revolver. One OF the
men tried to snatch the revolver from
me, but failed. Then he struck me an
awful blow In the face and knocked me
to my knees. I tried to shoot him. but
my revolver would not explode. Then
the shooting commenced. 1t lasted
about a half minute. y.ft
IN the crowd I saw three men arm
ed with revolvers, and one with knife.
The latter made stab at me, but miss
ed. Two men were shot Just behind
me to the left. I was In the direct line
OF fire."
