 Trial NearS End

Jasper. September Special ~- The defense rested today in the triai of Charlie Allen, negro, charged with the murder of Leon M. Adler, general manager of the Corona Coal company. last September. and a mum Der of witnesses were presented by the state in rebuttal.
 Accompanied by Judge T. M. Sowell and Sheriff Claude Cutlery, the jury will visit the scene of the fight in which Adler lost his life near Pat ton Junction tomorrow morning.
 Following testimony of numerous defense witnesses that the first shot in the battle was fired by Edgar Edgill deputy sheriff and member of the Adler party, the state offered to- day to disprove this. Edgill was mortally wounded at the same time Adler was killed.
 John Edgill, Richard Bates, A. M. Self and Mir. Meredith were the prin- cipal rebutta1 witnesses. They tes- tified that Deputy Edgills pistol. a Colt automatic, and his automatic rifle were locked by them in vault after the shooting. They further testified that the hammer of the pistol was resting on an empty chamber and that the magazine was full of loaded cartridges, indicting that the revolver had not been fired. The rifle magazine, they declared, was filled with unfired cartridges. When they drew a rag attached to a string through the barrel of the rifle, they stated 1t came out without being soiled, indicating that the gun had not been fired since 1t had been cleaned.
 In answer to the claim of the de- fense that undue influence had been used in procuring an alleged confess sion from the defendant while ne was confined in the Jefferson county Jail at Birmingham, the state put on the stand Ben Reeves. a warden at the jail who testified that no undue influence had been permitted.
 Present indications are that the case will reach the jury late Friday afternoon

UNION WANTS FULL MINE WAR PROBE Miners Head Protests Senate Decision to End West
 Virginia Query
By Associated Press

2 Indianapolis, Ind, September l4 Protesting against the decision of the Senate committee, on education and labor to discontinue it's investi- gation of conditions in Mingo coun- ty, w. Va. John l.. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers, sent telegram to President Harding to- day requesting that he urge thS Senate committee to reverse it's ac. ton of this morning and proceed with it's promised investiga
 In his telegram. Mir. Lewis said The action of the committee will be taken by the mine workers of the country as complete surrender to the non-union coal operators" He added that the mine workers were anxious to have only the truth de- veloped.
 Mir. Lewis telegram said further:
 Operators Fear Disclosures
 T am firmly convinced that the coal operators fear disclosures of the real truth affecting existing condi tions in Mingo, Logan, Mcdowell and Mercer counties. Their frantic and hysterical appeals for delay of the investigations convicted them before the court of public opinion. The mine workers are anxious to have only the truth developed and have been looking forward with hope and anticipation of relief to the coming of the Senate committee. As a mat ter of public interest and as a mat ter of justice and fair treatment to the oppressed miners of West vir- ginia, trust that your excellency will urge the Senate committee to re- verse its action of this morning and proceed with its promised investi. gation.
 Can it be possible that every ap- peal for relief from the persecuted miners in West Virginia Is to be de- nied by every accredited agency of the government? It is a matter of public knowledge that the county governments in West Virginia in the aforesaid counties. are in the hands of the coal operators, mine guards and Baldwin Felts detectives. It is further matter of public Knowledge that the state government of West Virginia has broken down and that the executive officers of the common wealth are in league with the non- union coal interests and the mine guards.
 Request Claims Heard "Where else can our people now appeal for equity except to the fed erai government through your hon. orable office? In behalf of the 600,- 000 men who are members of the United Mine Workers of America and who bitterly resent the wrongs in- flicted upon our people in West Vir- ginia, urge as their spokesman and the influences ow your high office as citizen of our great nation that be exercised to insure a hearing of their claims"
