 Statement by one government witt ness that he had seen six or eight men running into the union hall shouting, Let's get some ammuni- ton" at the time of the alleged riot ing on Lower Front Street last June 24 and the pointing out by other government witnesses of defendants they alleged took part in the trouble were highlights in the trial this morning of the 25 men charged with rioting on that day. Today is the ninth day of the trial which began on November 12 and so far only gov ernment witnesses have been heard.
 Wayne Young, an Alaska Juneau employee and former Seattle high school boy, was the witness who as- serted he heard the ammunition expression Young, who said he was in the line of men marching from the A. B. Hall down Front Street to the A. J. office to register. declared he heard the statement during the time of the trouble in front of the union hall. He was unable to say the exact time although Territorial Senator Henry Roden, one of the de- fense counsel, tried to get him to fix the time either before or after the tear gas was thrown. This the witness said he was unable to do.
 Senator Draws Warning
 The Senator, who already has drawn one reprimand from the court, was given another warning this morning when he accused the wit ness Young of seeing Assistant Dis trict Attorney George w. Folta move in his chair when he started to an- swer question, the implication be- ing that Folta's movement might have some bearing on the answer of the witness. Folta was on his feet instantly challenging the tactics of the Senator, who was told by the court such things were entirely un- called for.
 Young said he hao spoken to no one relative to the case since he was subpoenaed Monday.
 You talked to no one?" queried Roden.
 No" was the reply, and then Young added, except the District Attorney"
 You saw MT. Folta move in the chair just now when you said that" shouted Roden. pointing his finger at the witness. The witness denied that he had and as Folta objected to such methods, the court issued a warning to Roden.
 Protests Newspaper Accounts
 The Senator started the court ses- sion off with objections today. In a personal statement before the court and jury, Roden indicated he had been reading the papers and he asked the court to direct the news paper reporters to make their re- ports conform more closely with the testimony that was being given from day to day at the trial. He implied that as one of the defense counsel he was not at all satisfied with the reports in the papers and took particular exception to the accounts appearing in The Empire. Assistant District Attorney Folta rose to re- mark that he saw no occasion for Roden's unsupported statement and he felt there was nothing before the jury, and suggested the trial pro- ceed.
 Judge George F. Alexander said he had seen nothing in any of the accounts that were wrong but that he would ask the reporters to stick to straight reporting of the trial and not attempt to interpret in any way If that was satisfactory with the defense counsel He said he was satisfied 1t was the purpose
