 MingO's Trigger Trial
,, E. Lvely's "Gat'' Played Grim Sequel to Grewsome Drama When sleuth Who spied on Union Men Killed
 Sid Hatfield "Hero of Matewan Giving Fresh Impetus Long Standing West Virginia Eye for Eye Feud
(By International News service)

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-"Sd Hatfield Killed in Gun Fight"
 A flood of memories released by the flashed from Wech w. Va where the youthful exchief of police of Matewan, central figure in the famous trigger trial shot dead August 1 by Detective C. Nj. Lively, an equally dramatic character in the Mngo miners murder 
 Making 'good job' of it while he had the chance Lively also bullet into the heart of Ed Chambers the baby of defendants at the trial which dragged along for eight weeks early this and ended the acqutta of Hatfield and his eighteen co-defendants
 Once the "gat has spoken where the law had said not guilty!''
 Lively stands avenger of the Baldwin Fets detec tve killed in the half minute gun battle the little mining town of Matewan May 19, 1920 Among the victims Albert and Lee Felts What their brother Tom Fets head of the detective agency failed to achieve with
 long and costly trial for which he had engaged of the most brilliant lawyers of the souh the bullets of his star sleuth have done for him.
 Tom Belts, dreaded by the outflow world from coast the relentless hunter who has crooks-robbers hghwaymPn feudststo the pententiay than any other individual in the United States tried to hide the fact that since the Maewan tragedy his whole life revoved around aovershadowing desre-o bring Sid Hatfield to justice.

miners 1t was LivelyS. But it was dis credited by the fact that he had played both ends to the middle" He was pilloried as a traitor" and 'in- former" and union spy" by attorneys for the defense, whose eloquent pleas turned his evidence into a boomerang for the prosecution.
 THE SOUL OF A DEFECTIVE
 Lively's identity as Felts deteC- tive was so cleverly hidden that no one except the prosecution knew of it until he revealed himself on the wit ness stand The hombshell effect this revelation had on the courtroom crowd is one never to be forgotten.
 Lively. too. is a fanatic But his fanaticism has little if anything to do tions. These things are side-issues to him; they happen to figure in the course of his duty; they interest him but little. His one obsession is-his work. He is detective and wants to be the best detective in the country. in the world Success in his work is his one thought. his one ideal. Men and women are pawns on his chess board, which is sleuth-wOrk. He is filled with fiery ambition He will suffer hunger, pain, humiliation - everything-to make good on what ever assignment he gets.
 My work is my love" he said one night. in a rare hour of effectiveness. When I made friends with Sid Hat field and his bunch I put my whole heart and soul in it. My work is chief ly a matter of auto-suggestion. When I talk to and associate with people from whom I want information. or on whom I want to get something talk myself into rock-like conviction that I actually am their friend for get all about being detective, clear my mind. my whole conscious self, of every dlUin Ol TtdIlEdllun DI lnE real identity. Thus I quickly begin to sym pathize with them. earnestly and sin. cerely, share their joys and sor- rows, am for them heart and soul.
 Not until my day-or night, for I do much night work-is all ended and am alone in my room do I remem- Der that had an ulterior motive, that I have been working. Then here he smiled shrewdly-"T lock the door. pull dowu the shade, take my pad and pencil and write my report to headquarters"
 Lively has literally flirted with death every moment of every day and night for ten years. But he knows no fear To look at him superficially | one would think him the last man in | the world capable of doing what he has done. He is an undersized man

HATFIELD FACED MORE CHARGES

HATFIELD FACED MORE CHARGES
 My whole life has been devoted to helping the law by hunting down crim- inals; I am not going to take the law into my own hands now. But shall spend my last cent. the last atom of my energy, in trying to se- cure Hatfield's punishment
 Hatfield was under six other mur. der indictments growing out of the Battle of Matewan." So was young Chambers. So are twenty other Mat wan miners.
 The killing of his two brothers made broken embittered man of Tom Felts. It robbed him of his best pals, with whom he had worked and played for nearly half century.
 A few minutes after the acquittal of the nineteen accused - there were twenty-four originally; one turned states star witness, and the cases against four others were nolle pressed the writer saw Felts in the latters hotel room. He lay in his bed, writh- ing in pain, threatened with pneu mOnia. He raised himself with diff culty on one elbow and said, amid half suppressed aobs:
 We lost. But we are coming back No conviction of these men seems possibly in Bloody MinGo. We shall try to have them tried in another county, and"-his clenched fist pound. ed the side of the bed with each word i've shall convict them the next time!"
 Thea he sank hack on his pillow and turned to the wall to hide his tears.
 The bloodshed, the suffering, the romance and adventure, the bitterness and the hatreds that form the back ground of the Trigger Trial" and it's sequel at Welch. and of many other tragic sequels that are sure to come, constitute a world within itself, end it is one that the great masters of fic- tion would reyel in exploring. for 1t is replete with facts whicI are indeed stranger than fiction
 HATFIELD's UNcANNY SMILE
 Sid Hatfield himself was q eharac- ter worthy of the best efforts of q Poe, q Hugo or Tolstoi. His per sonality was strangely dual. Even in his looks that duality was constantly apparent. Tall, lanky, raw-boned. rosy of complexion, with hazel eyes that glowed the full, fiery intensity Of his impulsiye being, this typical son of the hills seemed one minute like an awkward, harmless, kindly country boy and the next like a human wild cat. He would slouch out of the courtroom looking, from behind, as if he had not an ounce of pep" He would hear a remark or feel an ever so slight touch from someone walk ing behind him, and wheel around with the swiftness and agility of the black panther. And always in such moments, his large. yhcouth hand, with it's incongruously slender, nim- ble fingers. would by sheer instinct,
