Ell Sr. Bird, al parecer, sufre una

Muy chocante es, VI de este vamos a

Marion, ILL.,, Jan. 1S.-The Herri1
massacre trial is at an end. When the
circuit court reconyened today, Judge
d. T. Hartwell began the final charge
to the jury. By tomorrow morning, at
the very latest, the five men on trial
since November s for the tragedy Of
the Williamson county drift mine on
June % last ought to know their fate
Emphatically indicative of the senti.
ment of the community was the fact
that while waiting for the jury to re.
tire wagers were freely offered at liberal
odds with no takers, that the verdict
either would be acQuittal or else that
the jury would disagree. Even the
sources closest TO the prosecution ad-
mitted that they had little hope the
verdict would be. one of guilty.
Sensational throughout, the excite
ment continued right up to the last
moment. Although States Attorney
Duty addressed the jury at great length
in demanding a verdict that would carry
with it adequate punishment" the de-
Tense eliminated all oratory. The bat

cused and the United Mine Workers of

fabric of the states case rested on six

entirely destroyed" by the other wit

Bitterness Still Evident.

argued. "and .hese have been shown to

The bitter feeling in the community
has not abated. In fact suggestions
have been made that there will be fur

Williamson county seem to feel that

feeling against this procedure guards

EXPELLED PAPAL
DELEGATE WILL
Be HERE FRIDAY
Monsignor Ernesto Filippi
Ordered Out Of Mex
leo by Oregon.
BISHOP TO. MEET HIM
Large Delegation Of Cathol-
les Also to Greet Apos-
tolic Representative.

Monsignor Ernesto Filippi, apostolic
delegate 10 Mexico, who has been ex-
PEELED by President Oregon for par
ticipating in religious ceremonies con
trary to federal law, will arrive in San
Antonio from Laredo Friday evening, en-
route to New York and Washington.
According to Bishop A. J. Drossaerts
of the San Antonio diocese, he will be
greeted by large delegation of Catho-
lies. He will remain in San Antonio
less than an hour.
Monsignor Filippi, who has been
apostolic delegate TO Mexico for the last
fourteen months, was the head Of an
outdoor service near Silac when the
cornerstone of a monument to Christ
was laid ON Thursday of last week. The
laws of Mexico prohibit church digni-
taries from practicing their beliefs at
public ceremonies, giving the privilege
only to clergy of Mexico. Article 81 OF
the constitution. applying to the ac'
tivities Of pernicious foreigners, IL is
stated, was invoked as authority for
the expulsion.
The papal delegate will arrive in San
Antonio on the q go o'clock l. & q. n.
from Laredo, according to information
received here. He will be met ct the
station by Bishop Drossaerts, Catholic
clergyman, as well as large number
of the laity. He will make no public
address during the few minutes that
he is in San Antonio, Bishop Drossaerts
said.
The papal delegate arrived in Mexico
City from Guanajuato last Sunday
morning. Shortly after his arrival he
was informed of the executive order
for his expulsion.
He is being accompanied to Laredo
by Count Mani De Moonigo, the Italian
minister to Mexico. According to press
dispatches, the Italian minister is wait
ing for instructions from his govern
ment before entering a formal protest
with the Mexican government.

the herding of the guards and workers
like cattle, their being shot down in
their tracks, beaten, spat upon and left
lying in the dust Of the road, begging
piteously for water to cool their parched
lips and quench their raging thirst.
The state also justified the guards in
shooting and killing three union miners
who fell in the first assault. They
were engaged in an unlawful enter
prise, it essayed to prove.
The defense was a combination OF
alibis for the accused and justification.
Through it's witnesses it got before the
jury stories of "outrages" by the mine
guards upon unprotected citizens and
built up a case designed to prove that
the majority of the guards were GRIMM
ais and murderers.
Upon the result Of the present trial
probably hinges action in the more than
200 indictments-forty-e of which
arc for murder-which were returned
by the special grand jury which investi-
gated the case. These five were al
lowed to remain in Jail by the union of
ficials and attorneys TO complete their
case. All Of the others are out on bail
and practically every business man in
Herrin qualified on the blanket bond
with which their freedom was secured.
The evidence against these men whose
trial ended today was the strongest in
the possession of the state. More than
one witness-mine guards-has posi-
lively identified the accused and sworn

FATE Of ) At
HERR|N TRIAL
IS WITH JURY
Can Declare Individual De-
PENDANTS Guilty or
Innocent.
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN
at Is Murder or Nothing, !"
Judge Says After
Jurors Retire.
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN

Marion, Jan. 1S.-The fate Of the five
men charged with the murder of How
ard Hoffman, one Of the victims killed
during the Herrin riots. was given to
the jury at IL 10 a. m. after lengthy
instructions had been read by Judge d.
T. Hartwell.
In his instructions to the jury, Judge
d. L. Hartwell said:
at is not against the law to mine
coal without being a member Of the
United Mine Workers of America. AS
sault or Staying for no other reason
cannot be justified.
Before the jury was brought in at
10 80 a. M, Judge d. T. Hartwell said
he did not believe any instructions
should be given regarding manslaughter,
self-defense or justifiable homicide, as
the defense had pleaded alibis for all of
the defendants.
Murder or Nothing
The Judge instructed the jurors that.
il they were convinced BY the evidence
that the defendants had engaged in a
conspiracy to do an unlawful act which
led to the killing of Howard Hoffman,
they were guilty OF homicide, whether or
not they had actually taken part in the
Staying.
"If one of the accused men commit.
ted the crime charged in this indict-
ment, and if the other defendants stood
by, aided. or encouraged the crime, it is
your duty TO find all of the defendants
guilty." the court declared.
After the jury retired, Judge Hart
well said: Ut is murder or nothing"
Can Return Individual Verdicts.
In his instructions, the judge indi-
Gated that any one of several verdicts
might be returned for each defendant
He said the jury might find the indiyid
ual defendants guilty or innocent, and.
il guilty, might fix the penalty from
fourteen years imprisonment to death.
Judge Hartwell declared the mere
number of witnesses on either side
should have no weight and that the hor
ror of the crime, or the wide nOtoriety
given it, should not influence the YER
dict.
The court also said that the fact that
the defendants had not tai the stand
and that no argument had been present.
ed in their behalf should not be consid-
cred as evidence against them.
In referring to the law regarding
conspiracy, Judge Hartwell said the
United Mine Workers had a right to
try to induce non-union workers to quit
by peaceable methods,
