SPY TACTICS EXPOSED ,
Lake Charles, La, Oct. 20
The way the Lumber Trust spied
on the Timber Workers Union
was further exposed at the Ora
bow murder trial today.
T. N. Harrel, Burns detec-I
tive employed by the trust, was
on the stand.
Harrel told how he joined the
union, how he attended the Hay
wood meeting at Merryville, july
3, where the Grabow meeting was
planned.
He told of attending a meeting
of the union in the woods the
evening before the shooting at
GraboW occurred, and how he
rode in the wagon to Grabow
with President Emerson himself.
He told how he took part in the
Grabow riot; how he fed from
the field with the union men after
the shooting; how he met and
talked with them afterward, and
he finally was arrested for partici-
patton in the riot, and even had
his statement taken by attorneys
for the defense.
During a recess of court Presi-
dent Emerson bitterly denounced
Harrel, saying that a man who
could swear, to what Harrel did
ought to be in hell three days be-
fore his death.
