reder &. Robertson resumed his mar.
ratlve giving the legal proceedings he
adopted III behalf Of the imnri soned
miners n the difficulties he claims to
nave encountered from the military
authorities, state and federal. He saws
nc was refused permission to be present
at the inquest Of those killed during the
outbreak and was unable to commune
cate with the accused miners as to their
rights, although representatives of the
mining company were present. He
protested to the attorney general that
h miners were being denied the right
Of counsel.
Usual Forms Of Law Not Observed.
The witness said General Merriam
was III charge Of the "bull PEN" These
were i%mprovised quarters. as no prison
was available, and consisted of old
buildings and box cars surrounded by
wire fence. Mr.. Robertson expressed
the opinion that the United States forces
should have been used to preserve order
and uphold the civil authorities, but, in
fact. he declared, they superseded the
civil authorities and in some instances,
which We're detailed, arrested men in no
way connected with the outbreak. He
said there We're no warrants and none
Of the usual forms Of law, but when a
man was wanted he was stopped on the
street and sent to the ''bull pen" This
was done by deputies who acted under
