labor troubles of 1921. Swanner is
the son OF a man killed in q fight at
Pomeroy, Ohio, which the prosecu-
ton contends was an outgrowth Of
the armed march.
! Swanner testified that Fred Mooney,
secretary Of District II. United Mine

ia meeting that they would have the
same trouble Mingo county union men
were having unless they abolished
martial law In Mingo and freed the
bers. swanner s testif R said 'a they f had
nothing with which to free them
selves. Mooney replied, he said, that
If they had no rifles, to get some,
and If they had no money. the local
union would guarantee the expense.
Local Funds Used.
: Thirty or forty rifles were obtained
through John and Harrison Taber,
the witness continued, and part of
thr bill was paid from the local
union funds, Of which his father was
treasurer. Permission to do this.
Swanner explained, was obtained by
his father and a man named Childers,
who went to district headquarters
and brought back an order signed by
President c. Frank Keeney and
Mooney.
Swanner testified that the only
time he saw Blizzard during the
armed march was the evening be-
fore Muhsy was killed on Blair noun
tain. AT that time, he declared, Bile

the council Is nearly 1--WE to one re-

Yet" he continued. they are now
urging that a contract be entered into
