M|NCO MINERS
TODENY MARCH
AGAINST STATE
Rebellion Was in Protest OF
Operators Government"
Defense Will Contend.
BY WARREN w. WHEATON.
international News Service.

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va, May %
The main defense of the union miners
who are charged with treason for
marching on Logan county last
summer, was revealed in circuit
court here today.
Admitting the armed march. the
defense attorneys hope to disprove
the treason charges by showing the
alleged rebellion was against a
system OF coal operators govern
ment," and not directed against the
legally constituted government Of the
State OF West Virginia.
II. w. Houston, of defense counsel,
made ii plain today that the defense
relies upon this contention TO clear
the legal atmosphere of any tings Of
treason lowering over twenty-three
leaders and men of the miners army.
To free William Blizzard, first Of the
twenty-thTee to stand trial. the de-
fense relies upon an alibi.'
The feeling in that section of West
Virginia. which led to reputed insur-
rection and admitted war is charge
able against a system and not against
the government" Houston declared
during examination Of w. X. Thur
mond, vice president of the Logan
county opeTdlOTS ASSOCldlIOIi1 WHICH
disclosed that the coal operators and
not the Government paid Logan
county deputy sheriffs.
Thurmans testimony was obtained
only pIecemeal during lengthy wrang-
ling OF counsel over its admissibit:y.
Presiding Judge Woods was called
upon TO rule on practically every
question developed IN the maze OF
technical legal pickering.
AS the defense persisted its exani-
nation along this line the jury was
excluded.
Thurmond testified his operators
association contributed $4,000 to-
ward the prosecution Of the Biz
zard treason case. One thousand
dollars Of that amount was for at
torneys' fees.
A. D. Lavender, union organizer
and one of the treason defendants,
was the next witness. The defense
counsel persisted in interrogations
designed. they said. to add testi-
mony about the system" in Logan
county.
