@. How long have you lived in Sal
mon?
A. l have lived here just few days
over two months this time; over two
years before.
@. Where were you on November
IL, 1922, about o'clock in the after
noon?
A. was selling Red Cross buttons
and memberships on Main street in
Salmon, Lemhi county.
@. Did you notice disturbance of
some kind about that time?
A. Yes.
@. Will you relate what happened.
A. Someone said there was fight
up the street near the Pioneer Mer-
camille company, so / walked up there
and saw a crowd gathered around and
went up to see what the trouble was.
| saw Mr.. Melvin turn from this
crowd and start toward the Recorder
office. Some people got in between
me then, and the next time l saw him
was at the door. | went on down to-
ward the office myself and he was
trying to get into the office; the door
was closed, and some people were try
ing to prevent his entering. l was
not close enough to see who it was.
When | got in front of the office Mr..
Melvin had just gotten inside and the
door was closed and the crowd was
gathering outside, and spoke to them
trying to stop any trouble of any sort,
and these boys told me that they were
trying to make Mr.. Melvin join the
Red Cross, SO | told them we did not
want anyone to join that did not want
to join, and Bob Mcbride said if /
had heard what Mr.. Melvin told him
that | would be angry enough to make
him join. They seemed determined
that he should join the Red Cross.
Just a few minutes after that Mr..
Nelson came out and quietly endea-
vored to pacify the crowd, and some
one asked him if he had joined, and he
said he was going to join Tuesday, SO
that was satisfactory. The crowd did
not get inside the door of the shop.
Mr.. Melvin did not come out any more
and the boys were arguing among
themselves and with me concerning
this membership to the Red Cross, ans
Miss Laura Shoup came and stated the
same thing that l had, that the Red
Cross was a voluntary organization
and that no one could be made to
join. Then the crowd dispersed and !
went on back to Main street and con-
t:nued selling memberships for the
Red Cross.
Q. During that trouble did you see
any blows struck or weapons used?
A. No.
z. Did you notice whether Mr.. Mel
win was armed or had cane?
A. did not see anything of the
sort.
9. You were not right close to the
office when Mr.. Melvin got in?
A. don't remember that l was very
close, because | was interested in the

CURED at that time, do you know?
A. Yes; | saw Mr.. Melvin and some
men cut across in front of the Pioneer

Mr.. Melvin was trying to 20 ahead
with a two-wheeled cart, and man
on each side in front was holding the
cart 80 he could not go ahead, and
Mr.. Mcbride was standing in the rear
of the cart alongside of Mr.. Melvin,
who was making n lot of gestures
with his hands, and he tried TO back
