All the survivors insist that so far as
they knew the mine guards had never
stopped citizens on the public road. but
the talk In Herrin and Marion is to
the contrary. The Southern Illinois

legal. for no public road can be closed
without the consent of the property

I'VE were halted. A heavy built man

rear ranks and talked with the leader:
OF the mob-I mean to the bunch oi
miners in front of us. First there was

The miner who had walked up from
behind retired after trying TO find out
who had operated the machine gun al
the mine. The prisoners told him they
didn't know. Then another man. heavy
dark haired. dark clothes. black fedora

hand. said: Listen. men. keep quiet:
want to talk to you. We can't take
these men to Herrin. but it will be all
right to take them out In the woods and
fields and start them on the run and
then you will all get shot at them"
So the mob herded its captives off the
road and past the power house into the
woods. The massacre at the barbed
wire fence has been fully described.
Jones says the order to run came from
the leader and the rest OF them-all of

chance to run several shots were fired.

Jones. Il got over the fence and ran
through the field. / could hear the bull

At this point Jones said that he saw
no union badges on any of the mob,
but they all said in the course Of the
march. I'VE are damned good union

Jones thus missed the slaughter as
the members of the mob searched the
countryside and swamps behind him and
pulling the fugitives from their holes,
shot them. 1t is pleasure to report
that the first man Jones encountered
befriended him. This was an old man
in buggy. He gave Jones a lift. He
started to tell his guest about the
massacre.

chance on him."
The old man was driving out to see
the wrecked mine. There was nothing
for Jones to do but accompany him.
They saw thousands OF people laughing
and joking all over the plant" Later the
old man lent Jones s1.20 and the use
OF his razor and directed him to a trolley
car bound for Centerville. He didn't
know who Jones was.
Ran Into Party OF Men.
Jones then walked toward Carbondale,
but ran into a party of men. He pre-
tended to be a drifter looking for work.
After searching him the leader said,
"Well, Jack, your story sounds as fishy
as hell There is one thing in your
favor !; you haven't got any OF that scab
coal dust in your clothes" One man
suggested Lets string the---up and
then we are sure we are right" Jones
exercised his ready wit until his cap
tors let him resume the march toward
Carbondale. There two men grabbed
him. They said. I'VE are looking for
some of those scabs that got away from
Herrln." Jones answered. Hell. / am
alright" and convinced them that he
was looking for road job. But they
kept watching him to see If he would
try to board a Chicago train. so he ig-
nored it. although he wanted to go to
Chicago. and started south on a passen-
ger train, beating his way to Cairo
Junction. There he took a freight.
which took him north to Centralia. A
Centralia policeman nabbed him, and the
strategy Of the moment moved Jones to
admit that he had been in the mine, but
he said he left when the first shot was
fired.
You must have got cold feet; you
must be yellow" said the police officer,
and I said.> Yes. I guess ] Will have to
admit it
The police advised him to get out of
town. and he grabbed the first north
bound freight In this manner he
reached Chicago.

able. but they vary only in detail with
this exception: According to the steno-
graphic records OF Coroner McCown,
Findley the guards timekeeper at the
mine, testified in the hospital at Herrn

several fellows If there was man stand
