having been in Jail short time be-
fore the shooting.
Thus the testimony of the states
star witness conflicts with all the
known facts and contradicts his own
previous testimony.
The spectators in court will be
made up of the workers and their
enemies. The questioning of the
Veniremen, taxpayers according to
North Carolina law, and therefore
not including a fair proportion Of
workers, still has given a good idea
Ct the class division and the reac-
tion of businessmen and workers, to
the right of union men to defend
themselves, and their organization,
from murderous attack.
For instance, during the question
ing, C. H. James, a mechanic, once
a member of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists, stated; 81
am absolutely convinced of the in
nocence of the defendants. l believe
that they had a perfect right to de-
fend themselves. The police were
interfering with them, and had no
business to do So"
Hates MONA. F. L. Union.
On the other hand, local member
Of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks for 16 years stated: II am
prejudiced against the radical union
that the defendants belong to be-
cause it is not affiliated with the
A. F. OF L., and that prejudice would
influence my verdict" In other
words, this A. F. L. member would
send 16 union members to electrocu-
ton because they are organizing g
militant union and fighting not only
bosses but A. F. L. bureaucrats who
are agents of bosses within the labor
movement.
Another venireman, J. H. Pruett,
Il carpenter who has started a small
grocery store, and whose customers
are all mill workers, said: Il don't
think any Of the defendants are
guilty. l have talked to workers
from Gastonia in my store, and 1 be-
lieve that the union people were
right to defend themselves. Also
I know one of the officers who was
with Aderholt when they raided the
union grounds and that makes me
more sympathetic with the defend
ants. No, I could not be impartial,
would vote to acquit them"
Knows They're Innocent.
C. A. VanDyke, now a farmer,
but who worked for 25 years in the
mills declared, "From what I have
read and heard l don't think they
could possibly be guilty of murder.
am opposed to capital punishment
on circumstantial evidence, too. But
I would vote for conviction if the
evidence showed conclusively they

TONS invariable questions. If the
venireman is a business man or if
the Manville-Jenckes lawyers have
confidential information from their
detectives that the venireman is
OK" these are the only questions
and the venireman is "passed" to the
defense for questioning. But if he
is a worker, or a farmer, ne is asked
care you a member of any labor
organization Do you read the Daily
Worker or any other labor paper?
Are you a church member? Do you
believe in capital punishment?
Would you render verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree when
it means electrocution, upon circum-
stantial evidence only?"
1t is remarkable that a very large
percentage of the veniremen, espe-
cially workers and farmers, have
conscientious scruples against cap
ital punishment, especially on cir
cumstantial evidence.
There have been only very few
that are not members of some
church-mostly Presbyterians and
Methodists. A great many have ad-
mitted that they could not believe
the testimony of the defendants in
their own behalf, "if it should ap-
pear that they hold radical religious
beliefs or none at ALL" They would
be more ready to convict a labor
organizer who is an atheist or ag-
|nostic than a good Christian"
Just Fair" Conviction.
The prosecution pretends to want
only a fair trial." but when ven
fireman states frankly that he be-
lieves the defendants are guilty, the
prosecution readily accepts him as
juror and passes" him to the
defense counsel. Then Frank Flow
ers, Tom Jimison or Thad Adams
asks the following question: What
papers have you read?" The answer
being "the Charlotte Observer or the
News, the defense asks Have you
formed or expressed an opinion from
what you have read and heard about
this case that any or all of the de-
PENDANTS are guilty? Would you
carry your opinions into the jury
box with you? Would it take evil
dence to remove your prejudice ~
About sixty per cent of those exam
med thus far have admitted pre-
JUDGE against the defendants. This
corresponds almost exactly with the
percentage of business men, sales
men, professionals, executives and
wealthy farmers. About fifteen per
cent have expressed the opinion that
the defendants are not guilty. Near
ly all of these are poor or tenant
farmers or unskilled workers; a few
small storekeepers and skilled work
ers and here and there an unusually
intelligent and liberal white collar
slave" will express sympathy with
the defendants. A still smaller
number of workers or farmers will
be prejudiced against the defendants.
But these are rare exceptions-one
can prophesy with startling accuracy
what the answers will be as soon as
the venireman takes the stand, by
his appearance, occupation and social
status.
About 25 per cent say that they
have no fixed convictions, and can
be impartial jurors. Out of these,
twelve have been selected as jurors,
acceptable to both prosecution and
defense.

Of course it is probable that many

impartial, are prejudiced against the
