tackled the detectives testimony that
the defense would endeavor to show,
first that the time sequence as given
by all the police witnesses was I'M
true and incorrect, and second, that
the words attributed to Miss Flynn
had not been uttered by her, but
have been framed up by the police.
The next two witnesses, Detective
Sergeant William Elvin and James
Brooks, gave letter-perfect testimony
on direct examination Like their as
sociates, they said that Captain
Tracey had written out in his Office a
memorandum of the words Miss
Flynn had uttered shortly after they
had all returned to police headquar-
ters
While Elvin was on the stand Mr..
Force and Mr., Hunzicker clashed.
In answer to a question, Elvin had
said: Miss Flynn explained in her
speech that the 1. w. w. were the
doctors, the strikers were the patients
and that the patients must do as the
doctors said
Mr.. Force started to ask another
question.
"I want the prosecutor to stop MAX
ing motions to the Witness" shouted
Mr.. Hunzicker
MY name isn't Quinlan,' retorted
Mr.. Force, sarcastically
rs that why you think you're at
liberty to make signs to the witness p
demanded Mr.. Hunzicker.
The trial of Miss Flynn promises to
be hard fought from start to finish.
She is noted as a speaker herself and
proved a hard witness to handle in
the Quinlan case. Her testimony is
bound to be sensational
big Bill Haywood, head of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, will
probably be the next labor leader to
be tried.
The latest display of violence on
the part of the strikers resulted in
the fatal injury of a man, the shoot
ing of woman and the dynamiting
of one of the silk mills.
Vincent Madonna, of 305 Belmont
avenue. was shot while standing on
Totowa avenue at o'clock last night
watching the night shift going to
work in the geering plant of the
National Silk Dyeing Company. He
will die.
Mrs. Commatin De Napoli, of 23S
Belmont avenue was the other vic
tim. She was badly injured in try
ing to protect her husband from be-
ing shot.
The sound of a fight and calls for
help caused her husband to run out
into the street late last night He
fr;l n1f
bling Egfdion Cobianchi, of 242 Ed
mund street, weaver, who had found
work at a mill in Astoria. L. l., and
who had returned here to visit his
friends.
In the melee several of the strik-
ers began shooting. Cobianchi broke
away and started to flee and De Ma
poll found himself right in the line
of the revolver fire.
His wife, carrying her year-old
baby, had followed him out. Disre-
garding the danger to herself she
ran into the street, put her arm about
him and tried to drag him out of
range. In doing so a bullet struck
her in the thigh.
Two hours later a dynamite bomb
exploded at the Strange mill, a four
story brick structure covering the
entire block between Beech, Madison,
Essex and Morton streets, and one
or the largest in the city.
Herbert Upton and George How
ard the watchmen, who were in the
boiler room, fifty or sixty yards away,
were hurled to the floor and momen-
tarily stunned.
When they recovered and made
their way through the smoke to the
street, they found that section of
the wall had been torn out. The cell
lar was filled with smoke and the
planking of the first floor had been
raised. Some of the machines had
been raised, and it was feared, bad
ly damaged.
The force of the explosion was such
that it rocked the neighborhood and
startled the entire city. Captain
Mcbride drove to the factory in his
automobile Immediately. He found
fragments of a gas-pipe bomb of the
kind that has figured in all of the
many bomb outrages of the strike.
