where West Virginia miners are on
trial for alleged treason. murder and
assault. growing out OF the Logan
county mine war last summer were
made by defense attorneys in open

The charges OF the miners came
after Prosecuting Attorney Beloher
objected TO furnishing a list OF wit

the grounds that "a number OF State
witnesses are being intimidated"
The air OF the courtroom was
tense as the charges were hurled
back and forth.
The usually urbane Chief Coun-

Red in the face he retorted to
Belcher:
