In spite of his conviction, however, the in- spector said, he did not draw his revo yer and did not know of any policeman who fired a shot during the outbreak which resulted in the fatality.
 Kelllher testified that the police had tried with their clubs to clear the streets of bellgerent strikers and had been jeered and pelted with ice and other missiles. Then he told of the fuslade of shots. during which the girl was wounded. kel- liner said he drew blackjack then and brought it down upon the backs of the excited mill workers
 Asked by counsel for the defense why he did not use his revolver. Kiliher re- piled: Because I concluded that I first would take another chance with my hands"

 Edward J. Griffin, another Lawrence policeman, corroborated the inspector s description of the riot. He, too, denied that he fired a shot or drew a revol- yer
 Policeman Joe F. Devine testified that he had seen the defendant Caruso many times during the strike, but never saw hin, do anything ont of the WnV"
