BEGIN TRIAL OF TWO
 STRIKE LEADERS
Charged With Being Access sOries to Murder of
 Woman

Lawrence, Mass February 9.--Joseph J. Etter and Arturo Giovanniti, who, un- til their arrest, were in charge of the strike of the textile operatives here were arraigned in police court here to- day charged with being accessories to the murder of Anna Lopizo, who was shot during the riot on January 29. After hearing few witnesses the court adjourned the case until Monday.
 District Attorney Atwill. for the prosecution, said he proposed to show that Etter, as a leader in the Industrial Workers of the World an organization which desired social revolution and the destruction of the wage system made speeches and gave advise to the strikers which inspired them to use vio- lence This, the district attorney de- clared, resulted in the riot in which the Lopizo woman was killed. Giovanniti, he said, had assisted Etter in his ef- forts.
 He said it would be shown that the bullet which struck the woman had been intended for police officer and that when the person who fired the shot, whom he described as tall 1tal- ian. saw that he had missed his mark, he stabbed the officer.
 Two letters written by Vincent St. John, general secretary of the Indus trial Workers of the World. at Chicago, figured in todays hearing. One was addressed to Etter and the other to William D. Haywood, the western labor man who is here assisting the strikers. In one letter St. John wrote:
 "A win at Lawrence means start that will only end with the downfall of the wage system"
 In the letter to Haywood, St. John said:
 T want to suggest that if the strike is to be of any length the practice of trying to carry it on by paying strike benefits and opening commissary must be cut out. There is no chance to win anything that way. These are out of date methods. Get these 16,000 or 20,000 organized to break into the jail and make the county feed them while they are on strike. Organize them to back into the mills and fight there. Get them back as an organiza- tion with the understanding that they are to continue to fight"
 That Etter in one of his speeches urged the strikers to keep the gun shops busy" and declared that he was going to get gun himself was the testimony of two newspaper men called to the stand.

that he was authorized BY Montenegro 10
negotiate war loan. The amount ne
named was $4,000 francs.
Asked what guarantee he could offer
that war would be declared by Monte
negro If ne furnished the loan, the man
invited Rosenberg 10 accompany him TO
Vienna, where. II he were disposed to ne
