TEN MEN INDICTED
IN MINE SLAy|NGS
Kentucky Grand Jury Returns
Bills After Original Ones
Are Quashed.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
MOUNT STERLING, KY, November
23.-Ten Harlan County miners, union
| officials and former Evarts officers were
/ indicted here today by a Montgomery
| County grand jury on charges of MUIR
der and conspiracy after murder indict-
ments returned against them by a Har-
Ian County grand jury had been
! quashed. -Four of the ten also were &C
/ cused Of aiding and abetting.
The action was the first maneuver
! in the legal battle between the Com
monwealth and the defense in the
trials of Harlan County indictments,
which had been set for today, and was
taken over objections of the defense.
List Of Those Indicted.
The cases were transferred here on
change of venue. Those named on
murder and conspiracy counts in the
new indictments were w. M. Hightower,
president of the local Miners Union at
Evarts; w. B. Jones, secretary Of the
same organization; Asa Cuisick, former
chief of police at Evarts: his former
assistant, Al Benson, and Jim Reynolds.
Floyd Murphy, F. M. Bratcher, Bill
Turpin, Bill Hudson and Otto Mills,
miners.
Hightower, Jones, Cuisick and Benson
also were accused of aiding and
abetting.
All the charges were based on the
killing of Deputy Sheriffs James Daniels
and Otto Lee, and Howard Jones, q
commiSsary clerk, in a battle near
Evarts last May 5. 1t was this battle
that brought more than 300 National
Guard troops into the Harlan coal fields
to restore order.
| Grand Jury Recalled.
The new indictments were returned
shortly after the original ones had been
quashed on motion of the States coun-
sci. A Montgomery County grand jury,
after completing its work some time
ago, was in recess and was reassembled
to consider the indictments.
By the Associated Press.
Included among the defense counsel
were Ben B. Golden of Pineville, KY,
representing the General Defense Com
m1ttee of Chicago, legal arm Of the
I. w. w. representative in the coal
fields; former United States Senator
John M. Robson of Barbourville KY,
and w. B. White OF Mount Sterling.
Former Gov. James D. Black Of
Kentucky, whose name had been an
nounced as among defense attorneys,
did not appear and it was understood
previous engagement might prevent
his taking part.
Golden headed the defense last week
here of william Burnett, a Harlan
County miner, acquitted by a jury of
charge Of having fatally shot Deputy
Sheriff Jesse Pace in another coal field
disorder last April.
The task of prosecuting the II men
fell on Commonwealth Attorney w. c..
Hamilton, assisted by r. L. Pope of
, Knoxville, Tenn, widely known through
out Kentucky and Tennessee as a
criminal lawyer; F. B. Jones, Harlan;
j. B. Snyder, Harlan, and Reid Prewitt,
Mount Sterling. Judge Henry r. Prewitt
was presiding.
Financial assistance was given the
defense by the General Defense Com
mittee and the United Mine Workers
of America. Attorneys for both sides
have admitted Communism and the
I. w. w. probably will figure prom
inently in the trials.
More than 125 witnesses have been
summoned.

vision. He has gone down as far as
BOB feet, and he tells me he has no
doubts about this plan of ours. 1t will
be easy for him, he says.
Once we get the end of the steel
tube firmly planted on the top deck.
Chilly will enter the air-tight chan7oeF
and. on leaving it, will start to recon-
hotter. He has said that he can COM
fortably work for an hour at a depth
OF 200 feet at any time and the fact
that ne can start freshly from the
tube, with an hour for work, will be
OF 1mmeasurable help. Usually most of
the time of deep-sea diver is taken
In being lowered and brought UP, and
this will be eliminated.
Safes Location Known.
The submergible tube for the divers
operating compartment is shut off
from the rest of the apparatus by
means of an airlock, which permits
ready passage to and from the surface
vessel under normal air pressure; it is
only in the divers compartment, where
the air is under pressure equal to the
compartments depth of submergence,
that the exit door is opened. This
arrangement eliminated the bends"
ordinarily great danger when men
are under water.
After Crilly has put in a shift he
need only come back to the compart-
ment for q rest.
We know exactly where the safe is,
and we will bring it out from the side
OF the ship by method which I cannot
explain at this time, secure it carefully
with heavy chains. and hoist it by der
rick to the mother ship
From then on, prevailing circum-
stances will govern our activities. We
wish to get everything of value. actual
or sentimental. and bring it back to
the world above from the sunken Lusi-
tania. And considering that we shall
be able to utilize about 10 days in any
Winter month, we expect remarkable
Photographic results.
The water in Winter is more free
from certain kinds of marine fauna,
such as jellyfiSh, than in Summer.
shall leave for England as soon as
am informed that the extension to
lengthen the steel tube is ready and
official approval given our plans Then
there must be trials off BrigLtIngse-A,
where the tube is being put together
Once these trials are successfully COM
pleted, we shall visit the JSs:taria.

Many Of Details Secret.
Usually, when We search for sunken
vessels, two boats are used, of the same
general type as the photographic SUBJ
marine. When wreck is located,
divers go out and examine it. If 1t Is
worth salvaging, its location is plotted
on q chart, and then the recovery boats
are sent to remove the cargo. I have
done much experimental work in locat-
ing Sunken wrecks and recovering their
cargoes. In 1898 and 1899 the Argo-
naut was sent out for wreck-f1ndlng
cruises, and a number of cargoes were
successfully and profitably recovered.
It is impossible to give all technical
details of our present plans, because
many Of them are secret, and because,
too, Great Britain has not yet given its
formal approval, but / will say this
From the mother ship, which is 1874
feet long, with a beam of "a feet, we
will send below a steel tube which will
rest on deck of the Lusitania.
The hydroastatic pressure there will
be rs pounds per square inch, but nc
one will feel il more than they do in
submarine. All must go down the
tube through a long stairway, until they
reach a room, IL feet wide, 8 feet long
and feet high. The tube itself Is
feet in diameter, and will be perfectly
supplied with air from the pumps
above. There will be no pressure fGr
the individual.
It is only necessary to walk down the
flight of stairs, inside the tube under
normal atmospheric pressure, until one
enters the observation or divers operat-
highlander at the lower end. This
operating chamber is fitted with look
out windows.
Various motor operated winches will
be on the exterior, also two doors pro-
viding exit for the divers when it is
necessary for them to go outside to do
their work.
Arrangement "FoOI-Proof."
Before these doors can be opened a
pressure of air must be admitted into
the. chamber, equal to the water pres
sure outside. This pressure increases
at the rate of 433 pounds per square
inch, for every foot that the divers
compartment is submerged beneath the
surface. So it is 43.3 pounds at 100
feet and 1855 pounds at 200 feet.
You might cali the arrangement for
preventing exit from this room fool
proof, as it is impossible to open the
divers door until the sea pressure is
equalized by admitting air to the COM
partment. When this pressure is equal
lied the exit door is opened downward,
and no water will enter the room. In
stead, the air flows outward from the
compartment
Once in the observation chamber
spectators will watch the work of those
on the LuSitania. Through glass win
dows and with the aid of powerful
searchlightS, all will know what is
going on except when the divers are
outside the ship. Vision Of from 40 to
so feet will be possible.
