MRS. PARKER OUT OF JAIL.
Released on Bail to Await Trial in
Washington County Court.

Mrs. Isabella Parker has come to
Barre, having been released on bail
from Washington county Jail, where
she has been since last May. She
seemed, according to the physicians, to
be little better from the rest she has
been obtaining of late The report to
the court was that she might go
through a trial but that it maght be
necessary to take recess because Of
her health
This morning the court set her case
Of alleged keeping of a house of i'll
fame to follow the Graham trial, which
is set for next Wednesday afternoon.
1t was rtmored to-day that some new
action had taken place in the Graham
matter, but Attorney General F. c..
Archibald came to Barre this morning
and, with States Attorney +. R. Davis
was said to be working on the prepara-
tion Of the case at the latter's office.
He told officials that the state would
be ready for trial next week
Up to the present time no additional
jurymen have been called, but it has
been intimated that the state will sug-
gest the calling of a large number more,
for il is hardly expected that a jury in
this case will be easily obtained.
This morning when the Parker case
was set to follow the Graham case,
j. Ward Carver stated in open court
that if trial occurred he would not
participate in it, Just what is meant
by that statement is matter Of con
lecture.

TRYING TO SHOW
PROVOC4TION FOR
CENTRALIA SLAYINC
But Evidence Not Strong That Mem
bers of American Legion At
tempted to Raid |. w. W.
Headquarters.

Centralia, Wash, Nov IA tBy the
Associated Press Officers in charge
of prosecuting the 26 alleged members
of the Industrial Workers Of the world,
held in jails here and at Chehalis, in
connection with the shooting to death
of four American Legioners in the ar
mistice day parade Tuesday sought
proof of assertions that former soldiers
provoked the attack by leaving the line
Of march to force their way into the /.
w. w. hall. Testimony given last night
at the INCEST over the four victims Of
the shooting differed on this point
Immediately after the patriotic pa
rade was broken up by the !. w. w.
fusilades, reports were current that
several members of the legion had
started toward the hall before any
shots were fired. This version later
was denied and investigations reported
| finding evidence tending to show that
the attack by the l. w. w, was pre-.
arranged.
Dr. Frank Bickford, a marcher in the
parade, testified at the inquest that
| someone near MIN IN the line suggested
a raid on the l. w. w hall, as the line
came to halt near the building. Sew
eral took up the suggestion, he de-
clared, and one man put his foot
against the door Of the hall and forced
it open, before a shower of bullets
poured into and over the marchers.
In the opinion Of DR.. Herbert Bell,
another former soldier, the firing of the
first shots and the movement of the
legion men toward the |. w. W. hall
were "as nearly simultaneously as any
human acts could be"
/ The body of Ernest Everetts, who
was hanged by mob following the
shooting, was buried in an unmarked
grave yesterday by four of the prison.
