holt, Gilbert, Roach and others were
shot. This time, even on cross
examination, she said Hendricks ex-
claimed, eve have shot," instead of,
as in the former testimony, "They
have shot" She insisted she didn't
remember her former testimony,
even when defense attorneys called
it to her attention.
Bought By Mill Owners.
Mrs. Neal was spirited away from
Gastonia after the shooting and is
brought back by the prosecution
only when her testimony is needed.
She is known to have admitted to
friends that the evidence was bought
and paid for by Manville-Jenckes.
Another discrepancy in her two
stories, both under oath, is that in
the first trial she said Hendricks
was accompanied by woman. Sat-
urday she alleges he was alone.
Another prosecution w tine S
whose story was mysteriously
strengthened between the trials was
Mrs. Grigg, who admitted in her
first story on the stand that she
called the police when mill thugs
/ started an attack on speakers at the
strike meeting preceding the piketing.
This first story smashed the prose-
ution's announced theory that the
strikers telephoned the police to lure
them into an ambush. In her testi-
mony Saturday Mrs. Grigg's story
assumed the form that because she
couldn't stand such carrying on"
she telephoned the police when the
piket line started for the mill. Her
testimony and that of her sister,
Mrs Tom Jenkins, and jenkins, told
in varying versions of BeaPs instruc-
lions to the pickets to "go to the
MILL" or $50 into the MILL or $50,
fellow workers, go"-no two of them
being able to agree.
Admits Seeing Mill Gunner.
She did admit seeing a number of
Loray gunner penetrating that
colony, with white badges on their
arms, and her exultation because
now she thought they would "clean
it out" (break it up with fire and
bullets, as nthe Ludlow massacre.
Mrs. Griggs and her statement
Saturday made an interesting admis-
sion that she "didn't have to tell the
police where to come, as they were
expecting her telephone call" When
Unison, attorney for the defense,
asked her "Then you had made an
arrangement with the police to send
this call?" she FASTENED to cover the
slip and deny this,
She made an attempt to prejudice
the unionists ntrial before the jury
of religious elderly farmers by say
ing that she "would have considered
it an insult to be asked to join the
union, as she saw hugging and kiss
ing on the union lot."
She testified that some girls
across the street yelled, "Guards, do
your duty" just before the shooting
started. She said Saturday that the
shot that killed Aderholt came from
behind the union buildings, whereas
other prosecution witnesses claim it
came from in front of the buildings,
and still others allege it was from
the side.
Scab Girl on Stand.
Grace Duffey, the witness for the
prosecution who was exposed in the
first trial as having been bought by
Manville Jenckes by being given a
job as private secretary when her
testimony was needed, appeared
again Saturday, and claimed she
heard som one say, "Shoot him."
but wa sunS-.e to identify the voice.
This scab girl had also kept her
information that she heard the
speakers the stand at the union
meeting before the picket lir0 was
formed say, go to the mill and into
the MILL" profounl secr-t. until she
got her price, good job from the
Loray management, one week before
the trial started.
In both trials, Duffey told of see
ing the picket line go toward the
mill and return, after being broken
up by police, and then of hearing
shots. In her first testimony she
said, $50 Shots" which sadly con-
tradicted the other prosecution wit
nesses, who told of about 16 shots.
Saturday, she said, "quite a lot of
Shots" noth'"y could bulge her
from that.
