During the past two days 20 alibi

rendered at the mine marched
through the streets Of Herrin to the
cemetery on the outskirts OF the
town. where they were shot down.

the crowd with the prisoners.
While witnesses for the state testi-
fed that the crowd jeered the bleed
ing, pleading captives. struck them
and made them crawl along the road
on their hands and knees. yae defence
witnesses united in declaring that
they did not see any abuse Of the
prisoners. and that only one Of them
was bleeding from slight bruise on
his forehead. as they marched along
in an orderly manner.
