 LINCOLN, Neb., July Following clash at the county jail late today between County Sheriff flyers and members of the Industrial Workers of the World who came to Lincoln to effect the release of members of the order who had been detained, peace was effected through the release of two of the men held by the authorities and tonight there was an exodus of a hundred or more workers who have been here number of days The collision between Sheriff flyers and the 1. w.

 was knocked down by the sheriff, who drew his revolver and warned the dele gation to keep their distance The peaceably inclined industrial workers told the officer no violence was in tended and after a long barley, it was agreed two of the men against whom no charges were pending, should be released, provided the others left with them.

SIX. CASE MAY GO
 ID THE JURY TODAY

The case of Paul Stevens and Cyril Keddington charged with contributing to the dependency of a minor will probably go to the jury late this af- ternoon.
 Before the prosecution rested at two o'clock yesterday the prosecution, had, strengthened the case built the1 day before. Rolie Pomeroy, Alex Petrie, Officers Peyton of Tempe and Brown ing of Mesa and half a dozen others took the stand for the state. Practi- Cally all their testimony as well as that ot the previous day was contradicted hy Paul Stevens when he testified in his own behalf.
 Throughout the day, the bailiff re- fused admittance to one after another who sought to enter the court room. The public and witnesses were eX- cluded; only lawyers officers of the court and reporters being permitted to hear the testimony. Once only did the court have to call the bailiffs at tention to neglect of duty and that was when M A. Stanford. father of the presiding judge entered the room. Amid the interruption caused by the quiet laughter as Judge Stanford is sued his order his father said in a dig nified tone T must say to the court that ! was permitted to enter or I should not now be here" He left at once.
 Rolie Pomeroy who was called to the stand before the noon recess spoke of meeting the Mesa girl in front of the dance hall in Tempe where she had been brought by the defendants. He spoke of his offer to take her to her home and of the gun play that followed. The gun was introduced as evidence.
 Marshal Peyton of Mesa who arrest ed Stevens said he had difficulty in getting him to jail, that he cursed and swore and said when he arrested him he noticed that the girl was in a state of collapse, although he would not say that she was drunk Officer Gilbert corroborated his testimony saying that Stevens was abusive, scuffling and kicking when he was told to get out of the automobile, that he was under arrest. Officer Browning of Tempe told how Keddington had resisted the officers of law and that he had fired three shots and given chase before he had Keddington in custody.
 After calling some half dozen wit nesses whose testimony had little bearing on the direct issue, counsel for the defense called Stevens to the stand. Every juror listened intently as the young man told his story, a direct contradiction of all that had gone before He evidenced no ner- vousness and answered all the ques- tions in a clear, direct way.
 He said that he had met the girl on the street and she had asked him
