Ready to Turn States Evidence

Swallowed by Detectives.

! New York. Aug. 3l.-.W Whitley Lewis
and "Dago Frank Cirofiei, indicated as
/ the gunner in the Rosenthal murder
case are reported to be prepared to turn
states evidence on condition of receiv-
ing light sentences.
| A certain lawyer visited them yester-

with District Attorney Whitman to Sc
cure light punishment if they would

Assured it is their one chance to es-
cape the extreme penalty, the gunner
authorized the lawyer to negotiate with
Whitman. 1t Is said, owing to the

place in the grand jury room is ex-
posed broadcast" which the lawyer de-
clared was done purposely to prejudice
the public mind so that Becker will be
denied fair and impartial trial.
He also criticized Whitman and de-
MED that "Gyp the Blood" and Lefty
Louie" will be produced as witnesses
for the defense during Beeker's trial.
The public may be denied the priv
ilege OF listening to the revelations dis
closed by the John Doe investigation

Refreshed by pleasant dreams-the
first they had experienced since last
April--5,000 miners and thousands of
women and children awoke today,
believing that the day Of the mine
guards in West Virginia is over.
They had been told last night that
they would not be kicked from their
lowly cots by the guards. Through
the night they slep under the protec
ton Of martial law, proclaimed yester.
day for the first time in the history
of West Virginia's long and bloody
coal struggle.
At Paint Creek Junction, the head
quarters of the district under martial
law, seven machine guns and 1,50t
rifles were held today. The machine
guns had been confiscated from the
mine operators, the rifles had beer
taken from guards and miners alike
1t was the first time that West Vir
ginia had asserted its authority to thu
extent of dealing out equal treatmen
to the miner, operator and guard
Heretofore the miners have not beel
considered on the same terms.

socialist leader, who was commissions

Swiss socialists are hostile to the
visit but practically they are glad the
kaiser came because they think his
visit will promote Switzerland's

appearing in cutaway frock suit of

nominated
Have you been indulging in a new

encouraging but when they not only
hold their own but gain between 20

| Governor Wilson confined his COM

broad, delighted grin. When Smiths
declaration of belief In progressive
mess was read to him, the grin grew
broader and broader. Asked to say
what he or his friends proposed TO do
about the Smith candidacy, Governor
Wilson said:

probably be led by Governor Wilson
himself, on the stump.
