CHARLES TOWN

STIRSCOALM MEN
Operators Fear Loss Of
Sympathy Through
TOwnspeople's Hostility
BLIZZARD DEFENDED
Army Captain Declares That Union
Leader Materially Aided Federal
Forces to Suppress Disorder

Charles Town, W. Va, May 9. Tran
scending all court proceedings yester-
day in the trial Of William Blizzard,
first defendant out of more than 100
on charges of treason, murder ana
conspiracy growing out Of the armed
march on Logan county last summer,
is the critical situation that has been
brought on by the alleged activities
of the West Virginia State Police mere:
Hostility to the State Police had
been expressed by the miners long
before this trial started, but this
doesn't seem to be particularly m
tense now. 1t is the residents ot
Charles Town itself who bitterly re-
sent the attitude of the officers.
The people here say the State troop
ers have arrogantly taken law en-
forcement out of the hands of the local
officers, have prosecuted unoffending
citizens and that their presence here
is a menace to the peace of the town
while the trial is in progress.
Lieut.. Mack Lilly, in command OF
the nine State policemen who have
been sent here, was arrested Saturday
night for obstructing the sidewalk and
refusing to move when Chief of Police
]. A. Smith ordered him to do so. The
trouble apparently, was adjusted
amicably at a1eonference last night be-
tween Chief Smith, Lieutenant Lilly,
Mayor William MorgOn and several
attorneys and coal operators.
About l O'Clock yesterday morning
Lieutenant Lilly, it is alleged. within
two hours of this conference, walked
down the street, met group OF
negroes and told them to get off the
streets and go home. An alteration
ensued, it is said. and Lilly knocked
down one Of the negroes. This negro
Edgar Snowden, today swore out
warrant for Lilly before Magistrate
II. V. Sheetz. The warrant has not
been served, the local authorities
marking time in hope that something
can be done without making an ar
rest that would precipiate more trou-
bic.
A partial list Of grievances held by
the townspeople against the officers
follows:
A series of liquor raids, eliminating
in the smashing of still Friday af-
ternoon in front of the courthouse.
Arrest of negro taxi driver, Les
ter Morgan, some days ago on a
charge of carrying a blackjack. Nor
gan. was promptly released by the
local authorities.
The act of State policeman Sat
urday afternoon in walking on the
baseball field during a dispute over
an umpire's ruling.
Two affairs in which Lilly has been
involved.
The declaration that the State Pol
icemen here are on the side of the op-
orators and resentment over their
constant appearance in front of the
courthouse carrying big pistols IN
plain view This is one of the biggest
sources of dissatisfaction. for, wheth-
er rightly or wrongly, the sentiment
in the town is strongly on the side of
the miners and the people are anxious
that thev get what they regard as a
square deal

Several organizations have signlfied
their desire to camp at Camp Rust

that he would ka pIased to have the
camp used as much as possible.
A distinct surprise was sprung IN
the "Y" Camp this morning when the
Ladies' Auxiliary made its report on
the meals served the campaign COM
mittee during the drive. The meals
had occasioned much comment be-
cause Of their excellence and when
the Auxiliary reported that the meals
had been served at an expense OF mt
tie less than thirty-nine cents per
tie less than 80 cents per plate.
However the bills and receipts were
positive evidence of the excellent man
aqement and economy of the ladies
who so magniicently cared for this
important element of the successful
campaign.
