compromise agreement which was sub
mitted TO Illinois.
When Lewis took up his defense this
afternoon. tumult ruled John Mitchell
rose TO quiet the tide, but Lewis re-
scented this and said:
q can keep order Mr.. Mitchell. with
out any assistance"
The president read from documents
basing almost his entire case on his
statements in board meetings and
placed emphasis on the fact that at no
time had he said that the Illinois strike
should not be indorsed When he
closed his statement, former President
Mitchell. President White of Iowa and
President Walker of Illinois sought
recognition of the chair. Walker was
given the floor.
Walker. after replying to Lewis by
