Greenwood, Jan. i5.---Taking of testimony was begun today at the trial of James Slankard and Bee Trout, charged with the killing of two mine guards uur1ng the rioting in the Prairie Creek coal mine dis trict last summer. The jury is com- posed of farmers.
 The non-union employees at the Bache-Denman plant where the riot ing occurred, testified they saw the Wo mine guards shot to death, but hat neither Slankard nor Trout wa" guilty of the crime. They say the shooting was done by man un- known to them. Both guards were shot in the back, they said. The wit lesses were Sam Thomas, EWeii an7 Mike Douthitt.
 Thomas further testified that he vas kidnapped by six men at Drexel, Mo-, on July 26, a few days after the shooting at the mine, ana taken in l motor car to Kansas City, and from here to ogden. Utah, where he escaped. During the entire trip, the witness declared, his captors kept his hands ard feet tied. At Ogden, he said, he was able to slip the bonds from his feet and runaway.

Because of European situa- tion, Decides to Refuse Aid
 for Quake Victims.
24 TOWNS REPORT
 27,8O0 ARE DEAD
Premier SaIandra Believes This is Exaggerated; That Many of Those Counted aS Dead Will Be F0tpd
 Alive in Ruins.

Rome, Jan. 15.--Official and semi official reports to Premier Sa1andra from q towns and villages in the 300mile belt stricken by the earth quake of Wednesday and the sub sequeni tremcrs which have wrought no little additional havoc report 27,- 500 dead. Forty-four towns have not yet been heard from with reports of casualties.
 Premier Salandra counsels con- servatism, saying this number like ly will be reduced considerably as hundreds Of those buried alive and given lp for dead are being rescued, and the semi-official estimates are based on reductions computed from the number found alive among the total population. These figures, he explains, are subject to revision downward because hundreds of the survivors fled from the devastated zone in the first panic following the initial shock.
 Making all due allowances and taking the reliable figures at hand as a basis, it is officially estimlted that the dead will not number more than 20,0O0. Premier Salandra states that this figure may even exaggerate the total loss of life, while King Vic tor Emmanuel, who has just returned from a visit to Avazzano and Sora, expresses the belief that the casu- alties will be much less than reports to Premier Salandra indicate.
 A statement from the ministry ot the interior says:
 "We are hopeful that the losses shown by the necessary fragmentary reports will be greatly reduced"
 12O Shocks Recorded.
 Since Wednesday the seismograph here has recorded 120 shocks. EX- cept for the first of the disturbances which was responsible for the maor portion of the damage, the shocks were light and scarcely felt.
 The property loss will amount to several hundred millions of dollars
