MONTESANO, Wash, Feb. 26 (by Associated Press).-A sensation was sprung in open court today in the trial of the allegeded I. w. w. mem bers for the Centralia murders when Attorney Vanderveer, for the defense, threatened to withdraw from the case unless the troops ordered here from Camp Lewis were withdrawn. ..
 The attorney for the defense de- clared that if the case was to be con dueted as a drumhead court-martial instead of as law case he would withdraw. He had not taken seriously the first reports of the coming of the troops, he said, and asked the court to punish Prosecuting Attorney Allen for contempt of court in making the demand for their presence.
 Judge Wilson said that the coming of the soldiers was a surprise to him, and that he saw no apparent reason for their presence.
 Prosecutor Allen promised to give the court his reasons for requesting the troops in confidence.
 Attorney Vanderveer said he would remain with the case today but no longer while the troops were present.
 Sheriff Did Not Call for Troops , Vanderveer said the sheriff knew nothing of the arrival of the troops until an hour before they arrived He sNd the sheriff did not request the presence of the troops. In fact, he said, the sheriff declared he had no need for them. The governors secre- tary also, he said, did not believe that the troops were necessary.
