Workers There Early

The day force at the Marion mill
goes on at z. 1t is very curious
thing that the workers-despite the
charm of their company-owned

have seen them do so, at noon.
It may be quite true that from 6
to on the morning of Oct. 2, the
crowd Of mill workers gathered early
for a wicked purpose. But whether
they were wicked or good, whether
they inclined to the Bolsheviks or
the Rotarians, there they were at
6:45 in the morning.
You had there brick building,
not particularly large, employing
only 600 men, with decent grassy
yard in front Of It; you had a narrow
road, and across from 1t, the build
ing which combines the company
Office, the postofhce and the COM
pany store.
What happened then is case for
the sovereign state of North Caro-
lima to decide. I have sat for hour
after hour in the courtroom, at the
feet Of Judge Harding, trying to
make out from the witnesses Of
both sides just what did occur.
/ have heard somewhat conflict
ing testimony.
I have heard that Sheriff Adkins
shot down two men; and 1 have
heard that he never even had his
pistol loose from its holster.
Tear Gas Thrown
I have heard that the crowd of
strikers were an angry and heavily
armed mob, with sticks and revolt
vers, and I have heard that there
wasn't single gun among them.
But so much Is certain. The
superintendent of the mills, Mr..
Hunt, gave an invitation to all the
strikers who wished to work to en-
ter the mill. From the strikers
there were catcalls and curses. Tear
gas was thrown by Sheriff Adkins
and his men.
Then the shooting started. There
is great difference in the testimony
of the sheriff's men and in that of
the strikers as to who started the
shooting. The forces of law and

Sheriff Adkins, who brought with
him some eleven deputies.
Accounts differ enormously as to
what happened in the mill that
night.
There is an assertion, current in
Marion, that the sheriff and his
men drank too much corn liquor. I
have seen the sheriff's men. I do
not believe that they needed corn
liquor courage.
There also is discrepancy regard
ing what Indictment was given that
night to the workers to start trouble
in the morning. One version has it
that the mill foreman 50 tainted
the workers, so badgered them and
told them that they dared not quit,
that, without any orders whatever
from the malign, foreign" labor
leaders with Bolshevik names like
John Peel, they began to walk out
voluntarily at o'clock in the morn
ing.

dry chieftains were dubious about
making liquor law enforcement too
strict and too far-reaching. fearing
a reaction and possible repeal Of the
law.

VESTR|S WITNESS
HITS SHIP LOADING
Hoboken Methods Haphaz-
ard, Opinion of Vauban
Former First Officer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 9.-Criticism Of the
way ships are loaded at Hoboken. N. j.,
was voiced by Stephen Chester Southam.
former first off1cer of the steamship
Vauban. sister ship of the Inflated YES
iris, at today's resumption of testimony
at the Board of Trade inquiry into the
VeStris disaster.
Southam, who was called to the stand
by E. D. Digby. representing the ofncers
of the Vestris. said that he had held
masters certificate since July, 1924. He
had been in Lamport & Holt service
since August, 1919, and was experienced
in the manner in which ships were
loaded at Hoboken.
Asked If the loading was done salts
factorily from a sailors point OF view as
regards weight, Southam said:
1T don't think so. consider that
cargo is put in the ship in careless,
haphazard sort of manner and there
seems to be no consideration at all as to
the way they put weights in ship.
They are liable to put heavy weights on
top and lighter weights down below Just
as 1t strikes them at the time the cargo
comes along"
He added that they we're loading the
Vestris quite up to the last minute.
At the resumption of the hearing to-
day G. P. Langton. representing the
owners. said that he understood wit
nesSeS were to be called who would
make allegations against the owners and
he suggested that while one was giving
evidence the others should be out of the
courtroom. It was agreed that it was
desirable for the witnesses concerned to
leave the court.

Mrs. Hawkins has lived in Wash

giving her statement a few days ago
she said: Most of my trouble was
caused from chronic constipation,
and while I had used about every
laxative I knew of. none Of them
gave me any relief to speak Of. My
stomach was bloated or swollen, due
to gas that formed after I ate my
meals. I had pains across the back.

and also pains in my side and
around the heart. Then, toe, was
troubled at times with rheumatic
Mains in my knee. Some time ago
T began using this medicine and
have found it to be just as adver-
tised. and in the few weeks I have
used it I have found it to be salts
factory in every way. 1t Is flne for
constipation, and one good thing
about it is that after using 1t a
short time found had TO reduce
the dose instead of taking more.
NV stomach is in good shape, food
now agrees with me and the rheu-

81 KNOWN DEAD
IN SOUTHERN
TNSTERS

A series of tornadoes. cutting
across the southern part of the
United States yesterday, claimed a
known toll of 81 dead. scores
injured. and an untold loss property
The greatest damage was wreakad
at Duncan, Miss. where early to-
day 81 bodies had been recovered
from the mass of debris that coz.
cred the stricken waterless and
lightless city, patroiled by State
militiamen.
The twister struck two other
towns in Mississippi. At Alligator
six miles away. two persons were
killed and five injured. At Marks,
Miss, in the same area. two other
lives were claimed by the fury of
storm.
Two persons were killed at Van,
Ark, two at Grand Prarie, Tex.
and two at Cooper, Tex, by
twisters earlier in the day.
Indications that. the death toll
would mount steadily were adduced
from Mississippi reports, which said
many of the so or more injured At
Duncan probably would die. and
that all the mass of debris left in
the wake OF the storm had not
yet been searched for missing
bodies.
Reports indicated that the storm
had struck several rural com.
munities in Mississippi, from which
no definite news has been received
due to crippled communication.

W|DMYER

MARTINSBURG, W. Va, Feb.
26.-Deliberating less than an hour,
the coroner's jury hearing testi-
mony in the death of Earl M. Wild.
myer, city constable, returned a
verdict today in which it was stated
the jury could not determine from
the evidence whether Widmyer
came to his death by his own hand
or was slain.
No arrests have been made and
the prosecuting attorney stated
that none will be unless new evil
dence tending to show. that Mid
myer was murdered is brought to
him.
The verdict, in part, reads: "The
Jurors further say that they are
unable to determine whether the
shot was self-inflieted or fired by
another, as, from the evidence be-
fore them. either is possible"
Bare Teeth Marks
DR.. Wayne H. Crum. who was
called shortly after the body of the
officer was found in the home of
Dakotah White, 3O-yearold waitress,
declared that death had been in
stantaneous. He also testified that
certain teeth-marks on the arm of
Widmyer had been made within "a
hours proceeding his death.
With but one exception, the wit
nesses were relatives of Miss White:
1t was her brother-in-law, James
Wintermoyer, who first directly con-
tradicted the stories told by Miss
White and her father, George G..
White.
Wintermoyer testified that Miss
White and Widmyer had been in
the Wintermoyer's room on Sunday
night looking at pictures" Miss
White swore she had not been up
stairs in her home since returning
from Hagerstown, Md, Saturday
evening.
Father Tells Version
Then her father contradicted the
daughters story by saying that the
girl, who had returned from Hagers-
town i'll and tired, had undressed in
a downstairs room and had not gone
upstairs at all.
Miss White, in her version of the
events leading up to the death of
the constable, had said she took off
her bracelet and necklace in her own
room, later undressing in the Winter.

denying that she had been upstairs
at any other time.

Miss White stuck steadfastly to
her story that she came home from

days before the tragedy, Ill and
