CHICAGO, H.. Dec. 10.-Prelimln
ary steps were taken in Chicago today
I TO organize a national fedora ton of
local employers associations in the
building lines. In the opinion of those
we'll informed as to the purposes and
scope of the movement. its Importance
can scarcely be overestimated. ln
plain words it aims to curb the exces-
siye exactiCns Of labor unions, from
which the building trades have suf-
fered of late perhaps more than any
other line. Other objects, such as the
Standardization of material and the
Suppression of unfair competition, will
bd kept in view by the new Organiza-
ZION. but all of these will be of second
airy Importance in comparison with
the main purpose Of advancing and
protecting the interests Of the contrac-
tors in their relations to the labor
unions.

Why did Morgan go to Jones room after

when one person kills another it Is
called homicide. There are five degrees

and justifiable homicide, the degree OF the
homicide depending upon the circum-

the killing.

men went to Percy Jones room to Kill
HIM, but they went there to do a deed
of violence, but In going there to do this
deed Percy Jones was killed, and it is
murder IN the second degree. These men
did not go there to do a felony, but g
-misdemeanor. and this Is why we ask for
a verdict IN the second degree.
IF Percy Jones was murdered, who did
it? These men all have homes, but
when Percy Jones soul was pre-
pairing for its flight they were all there?
Why cant any of them bring q single
man here to tell you where they were
when Jones was killed? When the bill OF
Indictment was read to them they said
they didn't do it, and when they go on
the stand they swear they didn't do it.
This Is the only evidence they offered.
Are these men Ishmaelites that they should
go around alone and have no one to tell
where they We're? Why IS it that five
men charged with murder can't bring one
man here to tell where they were7 II
such evidence can change a jury, let your
court house be burned and let your jail
be turned into a hospital. If this is so the
time has come to let criminals go free.
There Will never be a crime committed
When an innocent man can't show where
he was when this crime was committed
God does not dispense that kind OF
justice. And when the good people Of
Wilson will take the unsupported testi-
mony of a defendant, then your Justice
is gone, and the everlasting spring of jus
tice has gone. They tell you that Barnes
WAS swearing for his freedom. What, I
ask YOU, are these men swearing for?
Is his inducement any more thar that OF
these men? When w. w. arnes knows
that three months will intervene before
his trial and that if these men are ac-
quilted he will never be tried. dc
you think his inducement to swear falsely
IS any more than that of these defendants,
who are now on trial, and only a few
days between them and their sentence?
None of these defendants tell the same
tale. They go around and swear that
they did not see the other on that night
Free lances, standing apart they com
here and tell you different tales. What Is
more worthy to be believed Barnes cor
roborated or Rich contradicted? Barnes
corroborated or Allen contradicted?
Much has been said about Barnes
making different statements to Sid Wood
ard and others. What would have Barnes
life been worth if these defendants knew
that he was to turn States evidence? He
had seen Jones done to death. and he
knew that these men would do him to
death as soon as they did Jones. He knew
that his life would not nave been worth
a solled piece of paper. He knew that
the man who sent a ball crashing through
Percy Jones vitals would not have with
held his ham from him. If, when Sid
Woodland had gone to Barnes room to
get him to sign that paper he had not
gotten his signature he would have conn
back and told these defendants and Bill
Barnes soul would have gone to JOIN
Percy Jones. Do you wonder then that
Bill Barnes told ten Thousand lies when
