withdrew the bond and young Fur
was imprisoned in the Leesburg
Jail, where his father. Charles, his
uncle. Alex, and his cousin. Lewis
also are confined. The last three
deny any connection with the
killing.
All Loudon County is looking for
ward to the Forthcoming hearing
and hundreds are expected to at
tend. The hearing will be conduct
ed by three county magistrates and
will be held in Middleburg, where
Hatcher was killed.
On the advice OF their counsel,
the Furrs are maintaining a stolid
silence. Sentiment against them is
still strong in Middleburg.
Hatcher was killed at 10 o'clock
at night in front of MitchSll's gen.
eral store. by a discharge from q
shotgun. He was shot by some one
in the street, following an argument
inside the store with Alex Furr.

The wrists of the nine men were
cut and swollen. They had been
wearing their manacles for twelve
hours. The clanking of their chains
as they were marched through the
streets was as the dismal tolling OF
bells of war rather than the chimes
of peace. for in the arrival of these
men, West Virginia's bitter indus

on through bloodshed and violence.

Sole Cry of Protest.
The nine men, now lodged in the
Jefferson County Jail for trial dur
ing the coming week. are miners.
They are charged with murder and
treason. They came from Logan
County, scene of the mine wa last
summer, out of which the present
trials arise. Armed deputies ac-
rompanied them on their manacled
journey. After they were herded
of the train, Deputy Sheriff Cadle
cndeavored to remove the handouts.
but was unable to do so, miners as
sert. and police officer was called
in to take them off.
4 few miners were on hand to
greet their comrades, but made no
demonstration. One man left the
crowd to shout in protest.
Bail Refused Them.
Those men aren't convicts." he
cried. There's no reason fo- herd
ing them through the town like
galley slaves"
The guards only shrugged their
shoulders and kept closer watch.
The men now in the Jefferson
County Jail are among those charged
with the killing of Deputy Sheriff
Gore. The State. il is asserted, has
refused to accept bail in their cases.
although their alleged offenses are
no more serious than those of other
men for whom bail has been al
lowed. But here, in the unimpas-
stoned atmosphere of a farm COM
muity. both prosecution and defense
hope for fai-er trial than could be
had in the western part of the
State where the war between cap
itaI and labor keeps minds con-
stantly afiame. The trials will be
gin tomorrow.
Cruel Repression Charged.
The defense will endeavor to pu,
into the trial record a story of what
the labor element terms the "indus-
trial autocracy and local govern
ment by force" The Logan County
region will be pictured as owned
body and soul by the coal operators
and run with a steel hand by Don
Chaffin. deputy sheriff, commonly
known as The Gar"
Efforts will be made to show that
the now famous march on Logan
by armed miners was provoked by
acts of repression worse than those
of Russia
The prosecution declares the men
were guilty of treason for levy
ing war on the State"
"The State" retorts a defendant
lawyer, ''is in. this case the coal
barons of West Virginia and their
hired guards"
