WILLIAM KELLY TELLS OF
sHEA'o INSTRUCTIONS TO
THE PlckETs
GIVES ONE MAN PLENTY,
"Beat Upp Two Men on the Frist Day
One Driver Pulls Revolver, But
Shoots Wid-chase Him Into Hotel
and "Punch His Face"

Chicago, Dec. AT today's session
of the Shea trial William Kelly told OF
being sent by Shea during the team
sters strike, in company with Jerry
Mccarthy, after the driver of a wagon
which passed the headquarters of the
strikers with orders to Slug" the
driver.
1--WE overlook him and tried to slug
him. said Kelly, but he was too much
for us, and beat us off with a stake.
"Beat Up" Two Men.
Kelly frankly confessed that he had
beaten up" two men the first day OF
the strike. After that his memory
was hazy, as he said, it was difficult
to distinguish among so many fights.
He told, however, of an incident
which happened in the second week OF
the strike.
''Tom' Farrell and caught a fell
low near the Board of Trade Building"
he said, "and proceeded to give 1t to
him good and plenty. He pulled q re-
volver and fired at Farrell, but the
shot went wild and struck an innocent
teamster across the street. Then we
chased the man into hotel on Van
Buren, street and punched his face"
How "Wrecking Crews" Were Paid.
AS member of the finance commit
tee of the teamsters joint council the
witness described the methods of pay
ing the "wrecking crews" and other
picket squads. The other members of
| the finance committee Kelly said, were
W. j. Gibbons, Jerry Mccarthy, Geoy )
Golden, James Barry and T. ]. Ryan.
They used to take turns at paying Off
the squads" on Wednesday and Saturs
day.
The blockading of teams one rf he
conspicus features of the strh ., was
explained by Kelly, who had charge OF
this work. He said half dozen men
would go out to a busy corner and rush
in among the wagons and lead horses
into tangllng mass until 1t became
almost impossible for the police to ex-
tricate them.
The defense made sensational
move in the afternoon session of court
by attempting to have Schultz, the
states star witness on "slugging," ar.
rested for perjury. Application for a
bench warrant was refused by Judge
Ball. Attorney Cruice drew from
4 Schultz on cross examination the ad.
mission that he had testified differently
in court year ago last spring
when he was arraigned on charge OF
"slugging."

BRYAN COMMENTS
ON THE MESSAGE
NEBRAskAN SAYS THERE is
MUCH THAT is GOOD AND
MUCH THAT is BAD
Says It Has Warlike Tone-Finds
This in Manner in Which President
Deals With the Army and Navy
Endorses Other Passages.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 7.-Commenting
on the Presidents message William
J. Bryan says there is much that is
good and much THAT Is sbad. in ", but
it may be regarded as the Presidents
most important state paper. Bryan
says that the message contains much
that is democratic and for which the
general public may well thank him"
Bryan complains that what the
President says on government by in
junction will not be satisfactory to the
laboring men or to those who respect
the right of trial by jury. The Presi-
dents stand on the child labor is COM
mended, as is also the position he
takes on the eight-hour law and the
right of people to criticise Judge.
Deplores Warike Tone.
Bryan deplores what he calls the
Presidents warlike attitude. He says
in this connection: "There will be a
general disappointment at the warlike
tone of his message where he discuss
ed the army and navy. He speaks Of
the navy as the surest guarantor Of
peace which this country possesses.
Shame upon chief executive that he
should place an instrument of brute
force against the nations sense of
justice as guarantor of peace. The
best guarantor of peace is our nation S
principle to deal justly with other
nations. War ought to be the last re.
sort not the first consideration. 1t is
bad enough to have few professional
soldiers. 1t is not necessary the whole
nation shall be keyed up all the time
to the fighting point.
