COURT HOUSE. Montesano. Wash. March 2. = With two witnesses ar rested for perjury on challenges of their testimony today conflicting is- sues in the I. W. w murder trial had reached a smouldering tensity to- night. Feeling between opposing counsel was bitter this afternon. The deeper hatred between the warning factions in the case expressed itself in several manners, for instance Geo. lF Vanderveer, defense attorney and Sheriff Berry of Lewis county, en- gagged in a heated exchange of compli- ments, which hardly could be called a fight because it consisted of slaps in, the vicinity of the wrist. The I. w. W. lawyer made a pass at the sheriff, and the sheriff. replied by knocking Vanderveer's cigar out of his hand. Later in the afternoon. de- fense counsel, after ordering an Ann erican Legion man in uniform from the rom reserved for defense wit nesses appealed to the court to pro tect the witnesses from being tamper- ed with.

 Judge Wilson adjourned court half an hour earlier tonight so that de- fense counsel might prepare an argu' ment on the law covering the point The two witnesses arrested for per jury were Guy Bray. Centralia dairy worker and Jay Cook, 41, farmer near Kopias. The complaints charge first degree perjury. The complaint against Bray was sworn out by J. R. Japkne, deputy prosecutor of LeWls county and the other was issued al the request of A. Hutchinson, deputy prosecutor of Grays Harbor county The point in Bray's testimony on which the charge is based consisted of the flat statement that Lieut. Frank O. Vangilder. who stood be side Grimm at the head of the parade was in front of the hall when shoot ing began. States eye witnesses had declared that Grimm and Vangildel were fully half block from the hal at the time.
