Court Does Not Regard IL
PalIiRtion.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 1.-THE case
for the murder of C. A. Ballard the crime
being largely responsible for the precipita-
tion of the recent race riot in Springfield.
went to the jury shortly before noon. The
court room was crowded to suffocaton
and the sheriff had a large force Of depu-
ties on guard to prevent any demonstra-
tion. States Attorney Hatch in his closing
address said that the evidence showed
beyond doubt that James entered the room
of Ballards daughter, that the father
drove the negro from the house, and that
the intruder rushed at Ballard after they
had reached the porch and stabbed him
to death.
Octavia B. Royal, a colored attorney,
made the defense of drunkenness seeking
to show that James knew nothing of his
having committed the crime and had no
motive for the same. The courts instruc-
tions to the jury said that voluntary
drunkenness could not reduce the charge
from murder to manslaughter
Immediately after the retirement OF the
jury, Judge Creighton ordered Abraham
,Raymer into court to begin his trial. Judge
Cr~ Shton evidenced in this order a de-
termination to rush all riot cases to trial
without delay. Raymer is the young He
brew alleged mob leader. indicted on sew
eral counts for melting riot, malicious mis-
chief and murder in connection with the

COMPERS TALKS AS WITNESS
Tells Of Issue Of His Paper After
Order Of Court.
NO EFFORT MADE TO STOP SALE
He Cautioned Omcers of FederatiOnist
Against Violating Injunction
Counsel Sought In Doubt
ful Actions,

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-THE taking Of
testimony in the Gompers- Mitchell Morri-
son alleged contempt case in connection
with the Buck Stove and Range company
anti-boycott proceedings against these Of
ficers Of the American Federation Of Labor,
was resumed by Examiner Harper today,
with President Gompers on the stand.
Mr.. Davenport again was interrogator
for the prosecution and sought espec. ally
to develop the facts concerning the circu-
lstion of the January issue of the Fed
erationist, the official publication of the
organization, which number Mr.. Gompers
has stated was expedited in order that It
might be gotten out before the injunction
should become operative.
Mr.. Gompers said that he personally at
tended to the getting out of the publication,
but he could not recall that an exceptional
large number had been printed. When Mr.
Davenport sought to develop particular
details about that proceeding. Mr.. Gompers
replied:
IF you'll tell me just what you want
I'll frankly tell you and thus save you the
time and trouble necessary to do so much
proddlng."
Continuing, Mr.. Gompers said that when
he gave orders for the expedition of the
mailing of the edition, he had not been
made aware that the injunction would be
made operative but on the contrary he
had considered possible that the stove COM
pany would rest satisfied after obtaining
Justice Goud's opinion and would not
further prosecute the matter. When the
injunction did become effective he had
taken the precauton to call in the officers
of the Federationist and caution them
against doing anything that might be in
violation of the courts order. This he had
done because he did not want any of them
to become involved in the proceedings. and
he had told them to refer all doubtful mat
ters to him. He said that after the in
junction went into effect he had not done
anything to head off the copies that had
been placed In the mails or sold to the
news companies.
Mr.. Davenport asked Mr. Gompers to
state his purpose in sending out the Janu-
ary issue after the Injunction was granted.

"The answer includes ali.'' said Mr. Com
pers there was danger of interruption by
