TRIAL OPENS TO-DAY
State Rests After DevOting
Eight Days to Recital of
Massacre.
HUNDREDS TO TESTIFY
Counsel for Defendants Says
He Has Great Array OF
Witnesses Ready.
HUNDREDS TO TESTIFY

MARION, ILL.,, Dec. 21 (Associated
Press) After eight days spent in the
Introduction of evidence, the prosecution
rested to-day at the trial of five men
charged with murder In connection with
the Staying of twenty non-union miners
during the Herrin riots last June. The
defense will open tomorrow morning.
In the testimony OF its last few wit
nesses the State completed its evidence
Of the events from the time three mine
guards were shot while driving in a
truck from Carbondale to the Lester
Mine on the morning of June Fl to the
attack on the mine that afternoon. when
three union miners were killed. the SUR
render under a white flag the next morn
ing of forty-eight non-union men in the
pit, and the Staying of twenty Of the
prisoners.
All five defendants have been pointed
out In court as having been seen with
guns during the riots and some Of them
have been named as having shot down
some Of the Victims. Four survivors of
the massacre have testified.
The cross-examinations have been
brief and apparently designed to bear
out the defense contentious that the
non-union men In the mine and their
employers had melted the riots so State
troops would be called out to protect
the pits, that the guards in the mine
were armed. and that they disregarded
warnings that the operation of the mine
would result in outbreaks.
In their cross-examination attorneys
for the defense repeatedly referred to
the non-union workers in the mine and
the guards as "scabs." "gupmen," ''pri-
vate detectives and spies"
A. w. Kerr. chief counsel for the de-
fense. said he expected to prove the
guards or gunmen" were the aggressors
In the riots and brought on any attack
by their acts of provocation and chal-
1enge.
He said he would impeach the testi-
mony of some of the witnesses for the
State and would present hundreds OF
witnesses to testify the defendants now
on trial had no possible connection with
the killings
