 Apprehensive over tho condition not only of Riggs but of several other members of the jury, counsel for de fense already mad planned to cut down considerably the mass of docu- mentary evidence anG verl al testi- mony, to prepare and arrange which il had required months of hard work The ruling made by the court did not alter their lates: plans for eXpcdiency, W.

 The entire afternoons session was devoted 10 the reading Of the pre- amble, constitution and history of the l. w. " organization. In further ance of their plans to hasten the con- clusion of the trial. the defense ex- pressed the desire to read the pre- amhle and history only, but A. A.

 The l. w. W, it's history, structure and methods" furnished the thrills of the afternoon. Written by Vincent St. John, one of the earliest members of the organization, the booklet contains much information on the revolutionary methods, doctrines and practices of the l. w. w.
