The charges were called forth
by publication of letters seized in
the district attorneys recent raid
of the offices of "The Blast" a
radical paper published by Alex
ander Berkman. These included
a letter from George P. West, for
mer investigator for the federal
Industrial relations commission,
and a personal letter from Berk-

which was couched in endearing
words.

not the issue, which is whether
five innocent persons are to be
sent to prison"
Sunday Fickert announced that
in one of Berkman's letters had
been discovered an entry of $500
paid to George w." which he
asserted meant George P. West.
Four Jurors Selected.

the executive committee of the

is not George W." The man is
a special investigator, he said
whose identity cannot be revealed
now.
When the Mooney trial was re-

been finally passed and sworn. II
is expected the panel will be ex-
hausted before night and a spe-

defense.
