The stock market continues fuctuating
with no definite trend and the volume
OF business rather moderate.
Every day one or two issues are indie
pendenty strong or weak and this is
resulting from professional buying or
selling.
The general list appears to be mark
ing time, evidently awaiting a new in
centive, with g likelihood that this new
incentive may come from the policies
both national and international that viii
be announced by the new administration.
There has never been a time when
greG ter world problems were pressing,
and the correct solution may mean vast
financial and commercial undertakings in
fusing new life into industry.
Meantime, defatiOn remains TO be com
pleted, and this should and likely will
give us sufficient irregularity in the mar
ket during the next month or two to af-
ford good trading opportunities, and in
vestOrs should take advantage of the re-
action in the market to accumulate the
stock they want.

NINE MURDER j
TRIALS OPENED
IN ARMED CAMP,
Soldiers Guard Courthouse for
Cases Resulting From
Matewan Battle.
THRONES PACK TOWN

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, Jan. 26.-Amid
the setting of an armed camp, the people
Of this town focked to the courthouse
today to witness the biggest and most
dramatic legal battle in the history of
this section OF the country.
Twenty four men are to be tried be-
fore Judge r. D. Bailey in the Circuit
Court on a charge of murder. They are
accused of having killed seven of twelve
baldwin Felts detectives in a gun battle
at Matewan during coal strike disorders.
Long before the court was scheduled
to open the streets about the court
house were crowded with men and
women. Soldiers of Company G, 10Th
Infantry, from Camp Sherman, Ohio,
were on hand for any emergency.
The courtroom could hold only about
a fourth Of the throng clamoring for ad-
mission. Hundreds had to content them
selves with standing in slush-covered
streets.
From Matewan, the little mining vii
lage nesting in the foothills on the
Kentucky West Virginia border, came
Sid Hatfield, chief of police Of the vii
lage and the central figure both in the
gun battle and the legal drama which
is now getting under way.
Smiling Sid" as he is known to his
friends, did not appear to think that the
fight was anything extraordinary, which
may be attributed to the fact that he
was a member of a famous old feudist
clan and was reared in a country where
gunplay is common.
The fight lasted less than two minutes,
but cost ten lives.
"Just a little free-for-all," said Hat
field.
Close to Judge Bailey sat Col. Herman
Hall. in charge of the Federal troops.
In a little chamber adjoining was a
sergeant ready to give a signal that
would bring a company Of regulars,
armed with rifles, into the courtroom.
R. B. Page, the only negro among the
defendants, could not be found and his
$4,000 bond was forfeited.
The first case called was that Of Sid
Hatfield, the 27-year-old chief.
The widow of C. C. FISHERMAN, mayor
Of Matewan, who was killed in the gun
battle, is now Hatfeld's wife.
