Investigation of Shooting

BIZ Tho A associated Press
CENTRALIA, Wash, Nov. IL
Efforts of officers charged with the
duty of prosecuting the twenty-six
alleged members of the 1. w. W. held
here and at Chechalis In connection
with the shooting of four American
Legion members during an Armistice
Day parade Tuesday was centered
today on learning whether former
soldiers in any degree provoked the
attack by leaving the line of march
to force their way into the l. w. W.
hall. Testimony given last night at
the inquest over the four victims of
the shooting hinted on this point.
Just after the patriotic parade was
broken up by the /. w. w. fusilade
reports were current that several
members of the Legion had started
toward the hall, used as headquarters
by the radicals, before any shots were
fired. This version later was denied
and investigators reported finding
evidence tending to show that the at
tack by the l. w. w. was pre-ar-
ranged.
DR.. Frank Bickford, himself a
marcher in the parade, testified at
the inquest that some one near him
in the lines suggested a raid on the l.
w. w. hall as the line came to a halt
at the corner where the building
stands Several took up the sugges-
ton, he declared, and one man put
his foot against the door of the hall
and forced it open before n shower of
bullets poured into and over the
marchers.
In the opinion of DIR. Herbert Bell,
another former soldier, the firing of
the first shots and the movement OF
the Legion men toward the I. w. w.
hall were "as nearly simultaneous as
any human act could be-"
The body of Ernest Everetts, who
was hanged by a mob following the
shooting, was buried in an unmarked
grave yesterday by four of the pris-
Dners under guard after undertakers
had declined to prepare 1t for burial.
