WILLIAMSON, w. Va, March IL.
On the eve of the final phase
of the trigger trial" the CORE
spondent is able to set forth the
basic points of the case as seen, on
the one hand, through the eyes OF
the prosecution, and, on the Other,
through those of counsel for the sew
enteen defendants on trial for their
lives.
INFORMAL CONVERSATIONS.
The subjoined resumes are not to
be credited to any of the attorneys
connected with the case. However.
from informal conversations with
| lawyers on both sides and from a
close study of the evidence and pre-
| liminary arguments over vital points
at issue. 1t is possible to summarize
the position of prosecution and de-
fence as follows:
THE PROSECUTION
ALBERT Felts, Lee Felts, c. b. Cum
| bingham. c. T. Higgins A. J. Booher,
| II. Powell and J. w. Ferguson were
| foully murdered at Matewan.on May
| 10, 1920, as a result of a conspiracy
| Matched among the defendants and
others, the final plans of which cul-
minated in the store of Mayor Cabell
| FISHERMAN about five minutes before
their murder. when a number OF the
defendants and others were sworn In
as special police.
."The purpose was to kill and get
rid of all the detectives. as has been
shown by The way some of these de-
tectives were chased all over Mate
wan and ruthlessly shot down from
the rear while fleeing.
Albert Felts, though warned that
something was going to happen, did
not expect or anticipate anything
more than an attempt to arrest him
and his men, to which he was willing
to submit, as was shown by the fact
that he had all of his men take a
part and wrap up their rifles, and
that all Of his men who did not have
pistol licenses put their pistols away
in grips. Not over four or five of the
Baldwin-Felts men were armed at
the time of the shooting, and they
were the ones who had pistol licenses.
Albert Felts never fired single
shot and was shot down from the
door of Chambers hardware store
while talking to Mayor FISHERMAN.

TINE father of Millard Fill.

TINE father Of Millard Fill.
more was a soldier in the
Revolution and fought as.lieu.
tenant under General Stark at
Bennington. He was farmer and
moved to Cayuga County, New
York, where his son Millard was
born. Having lost all his prop
erty by bad title to one of the
military lots he had purchased, the
father removed to Erie County.
where he cultivated a small farm
with his own hands. The narrow
means Of the father deprived Mill
lard of an advantage of educa-
tion beyond what was afforded
by the imperfect and ill-taught
schools of the county. Books
were scarce and dear, and at
the age of fifteen, young Fill
more had read but little except his
common school books and the Bible.
At that period he was sent to the
then wilds of Livingston County to
learn the clothier trade. He re-
mained there about four months,
and was then placed with another
person to pursue the same business
