"GOmpers Knew All, but Aided"--Burns;
WAS Misled by Dynamiters"- -Gompers

"Mr. Compers knew that Mcnamara was guilty and has
known it all along. When Mr.. Compers says he was surprised
and that the McNamaras had deceived him in declaring their
guilty at the time he and the heads of the international unions,
whose headquarters are in indianapolis. conferred here on the
question Of funds to defend the prisoners. Now they are trying
to get away from it by saying that they were deluded."

Greeley Justice Inflicts Fine
Without SemblanCe of III

VI
That he was absolutely robbed OF
SS.75, without the slightest chance
being afforded him for defnse, is
the firm belief of Geo. S. Kinney, of
Colorado Springs, who visited his
brother, j. j. Kinney, here yester-
day.
Mr. Kinney was arrested while
passing through Greeley on charge
of exceeding the speed limit. The
arresting officer, it is said. told Kin
ney that his arrest was a mere for
mality, and that for the first few
days of the city's campaign against
speeding, offenders were to be let
off with a warning.
Kinney declares that he was not
exceeding the speed limit. while the
officer who has just been furnished
with new machine and evidently
feels that he must make a showing,
stated that it was necessary to speed
up to 40 miles an hour to overtake
his quarry, although the fact that
the police machine took up the
chase from point several blocks
in the rear was not taken into con-
sideration by the court.
