the Up Country, attracted by its possi
bilities, move into that section"
The Trial of Hatfield.

!
I Considerable interest attaches around
/ this section in the trial of Sid Hatfield,
chief of police of Matewan. W. Va, and
eighteen others charged with the mur-
der of several Baldwin Fclts detectives,
May 10. last, by reason OF the fact that
Mrs. John S. James of Yorkville, is
1related by marriage to Albert and Lee
Felts,; brothers and noted detectives,
who were killed in the fight Mrs.
James is a sister-in-law Of T. L. Felts,
another of the Baldwin -Felts detectives
who still lives, Mr.. 'Felts marrying a
sister of Mrs. James. -.
MIR. Henry B. James, we'll known
stock dealer of Yorkville, knows well
Sid Hatfield and most of the other
parties interested in the trial now''go-
ing on which is attracting attention all
over the country.
"The Mateafwan community" Mi.
Henry James said the other day In
talking about the case. ''is one Of the
widest imaginable! In fact, it is al
most. beyond description. 1t is coal
mining region and there every man Is
almost a law unto himself while all
manner of outlawery is practiccd.
1.-THE fight last May which resulted
in the death Of Albert and Lee Fe!ts
Mayor c. C. Testerman and others was
the outgrowth of disorder which the
Baldwin -Felts detectives had been en-
ployed to put down. The Hatfield clan
is strong in that neighborhood and
don't think there is much chance OF
getting a conviction because Of that
fact.
albert Felts was shot as he came
out of q hotel where he ?iad been that
day. He had a premonition OF death
because he wrote to his wife snort
time before the fatal fight that he ex-
pected they would get him. AS ne
started out on the street the hring
started and he was killed. A numbe:
of others including :!is brother Lee,
were killed. Mayor Testeru1an was also
killed and this Sid Hatfield who Is no"
on trial for his life, married his widow
a very short while after he was killed.
81 understand" Mr.. James went on
to say, that the Baldwin -Fclts paop!c
had to pay their lawyers a retainer Oh
100000. A lawyer to a more or less de-
gree takes his life in his hand when 60
ing into that country to oppose the
Hatfield organization and hence the
heavy cost.
