Both lads ran screaming into the hall. where they were met. by several teachers who, having heard the explosion, ran to investigate. LaMontagne collapsed and was carried into one of the rooms.

It is charged that the trio accepted $250. which was paid over by J. H.

States were in the vicinity, that travelers upon the public highway had been assaulted by the deceased and his associates. "In fact, we will able to show that the first of the deceased and his associates who were killed were taken from the line of march by a man not a defendant in any of the indictments returned in this county. He came from afar for the purpose.

he said, of wreaking revenge upon the man who had driven him and his family from their home and sent his little children out in the cold to starve. Calls Dead Men "Assassins." "Into 0 peaceful, quiet and orderly community of striking miners," Kerr said, "the Southern Illinois Coal Company brought its gang of hired assas. sins--not to protect property. Lester brought them in here with machine guns, high-powered rifles, with automatic destructive police pistols, with all the most firearms known to modern science. None of Lester's property rights was assailed.

There was a Sabbathlike calm from one end of Williamson County to another. With an equipment of men and guns, 'Lester established an army headquarters from which base he could invade and terrorize the community to the extent of murder. Among the gunmen we find the deceased, Howard a Hoffman, now said to this jury to be have been the 'peace' of the people when he was killed." Kerr enumerated 16 acts of violence by these alleged gunmen on farmers and miners from June 15 to June 21, when the three union miners were killed by mine guards. He quoted a statement made by Attorney General Brundage, now assisting the prosecution. "That was an open challenge to the idle, dissatisfied and in many cases hungry men for a battle, There is no surprise, therefore, at what happened.

"Who is morally and legally responsible for these killings?" asked Kerr. "Consider the unlawful entrance into the county, the unlawful attempt to mine coal, the unlawful bringing into the county of this band of murderers, the only. effect of which could he to stir up disorder, riot and breach of the the peace, first as we will show you. That was overt, unlawful act which led to the killings, and we will show you by reliable authority from the courts of the land that such acts are unlawful. We will show you that the prosecution is mistaken when it says that any citizen has a right to mine coal without question, especially when the mining of that coal involves the bringing into the county of murderers, We contend that that act becomes unlaw.

ful and that when one sets out upon an unlawful mission and accomplishes his mission by acts of violence, by murder, and then as a consequence of his murderous acts he himself is killed that the law justifies the slaying; that it is an excusable, justifiable killing. "The State has told you that 2,000 people or more formed the mob which killed the scabs. Out of 2,000 or more people the State has selected five whom it wants to make victims. Why, then, you ask, are these five indicted? Because the prosecuting authorities of the State of Illinols yieided to private infuence. Their place and their status are taken by a private organization composed of.

men of great wealth--the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. Actuated by a desire for vengeance, eager to do anything that will help destroy Organized Labor, the Chamber of Commerce is the organization that prosecuted this ease." Duty Outlines Peole's Case. State's Attorney Delos L. Duty outlined the people's case against the five defendants. He.

addressed jury without any formerly prepared speech. He is a. rambling though sometimes picturesquely eloquent speaker. Chief Counsel Kerr's manner is touched with a burning sarcasm. He is a heavy man, with curling lip.

His is by and large the eloquence of simple, direct statement. Five union miners, Otis Clark. Peter Hiller, Joe Carnaghi, Leva Mann and Burt Grace--defendants now on trial were indicted along with 1 45 others, whose indictments were later nolled. for the murder of Howard Hoffman of Huntington, Ind. The presence of United States secret service agents in this neighborhood for the past month has given rise to the rumor that Attorney General Daugherty intends to use the Herrin riot as the basis for an indictment against the United Mine Workers of America on the charge that it obstructed interstate shipping of coal during the recent strike.

It is said that the dynamiting of machinery at the Lester stip mine by the mob is a portion of evidence to be used in the event of such an indictment and that the prosecution of such a case is in keeping with the policy of, in the end, making strikes unlawful. RIVERHEAD COURT HEARS FIVE CASES (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead. L. Dec. 13---In the Supreme Court here Justice Mitchell May has granted a decree of annulment of the marriage of Elsie A.

Tacey of Southampton to Jonah Tacey, formerly a steward in the Meadow Club at Southampton. Mrs. Tacey testified that her husband disappeared several years ago and his whereabouts have ever since remained a mystery. Alfred A. O'Connor of Northport lost the suit he brought against the N.

The jury disagreed in the action brought by William J. Kraft as administrator against the Travis-Zelgler Company. Plaintiff said his son Joseph was killed by one of the defendant's trucks. The defendant alleged contributory negligence and added that the young man who was killed was riding on the running board of a car at the time of the accident.

ANTIOCH STUDENTS MIX WORK AND STUDY Mr. Arthur E. Morgan, president of Antioch College, at Antioch, 0., gave an interesting talk yesterday afternoon. Talking informally he explained how Antioch is trying to work out the educational problem.

Antioch is the first "working" colrege in the world, he said. Taking the argument that college unfits boys end girls for life in the community and that the period of readjustment hard, this college is working out a plan where the students work for five veeks at their studies and then 1or five weeks take a job and work at that. There is a double shift for ach position, SO that the working student takes the place of the studying student each time the shift is made. "What college should do for the student," Mr. Morgan said, "is what we are trying to find out, and to arrange our curriculum accordingly.

10 we could have a way of finding out what each student wishes college would do for him we would get nearer to that, but I believe it is safe to assume that everyone wants first of all to have good health and the ability to get on well out of their time in college. It 1g not only the amount of Knowledge a person possesses that makes him successful, but the ability to get things done, and we believe by finding Jobs for our students, we help to develop them in this caLacity and also to get them used to hard work and to sticking it out." Mr. Morgan said that the colleger requires every student to take a complete cultural course, explaining at some length that it is A mistaken idea that the successful engineer needs only a good head for matheand the mastery of the technical requirements. "There are 80 many other qualities essential for the high-class engineer. He must know how to express himself, how to get his ideas over, how hire men, to run them, he must know how to be an accountant, in short, he must be a human being Arst." Thig is the second year of the college run on this plan, and the students come from 40 different States.

There is one girl to every three boys the average intelligence of the girl students at Antioch comes up to the best of the boys. Mr. Morgan believes that five weeks is about as long as any student can work at high pitch at his studles and that the change to the more practical kind of work is welcome and brings the stulent back to his studles with' renewed zest. SOPHIE BRASLAU SINGS FOR CHARITY The Florence Nightingale Federation concert was given in the opera house of the Academy last evening, Sophie Braslau of the Metropolitan Opera Company as artist. The affair was a successful one with quite a military note added by the scarlet lined capes of the senior class of Sene" Methodist Episcopal Hospital, who assisted in the sale of programs and candy.

"Oh, Come Me Beloved," which showed the breadth of Miss Braslau's art in splen did measure. "Furibonda" followed. its quaint Handelian style finely brought out, and then 2 group of Schubert's nongs waS interpreted, with "Gretobennam Spinnerade" and "Erlkoenig." There was novelty in the way this number was handled which thrilled the audience and showed the big resources of Miss Braslau's interpretation. Charm WaS In the rendition of "Der Liermann" (The "Hurdy Gurdy and passionate feeling in the old Schubert favorite, "Rastlose Libbe."

TAXPAYERS LOSE 9 DAMAGE SUITS Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien said today that during the present month nine actions were defended by the City of New York in the Supreme Court Brooklyn, brought by property owners New Utrecht ave. and 86th for damages alleged to have been caused by the operation of the elevated railroad on these streets. "decided "Justice Cropsey," he said, all of these actions against the property owners and in favor of the city, Justice Cropsey stated in his decision that 'while the structure and the operation of trains thereon was exceedingly objectionable and in some ways a detriment to the properties in other ways, it is a benefit and the benefit fully offsets the "Proof was made upon the trial of thes nine actions that in the single month of December, 1916, there were 40,000 who boarded trains at the 20th ave station. "In the same month last year 027 people boarded trains at the same station, which clearly shows that the new transit lines are rapidly populating the vacant sections in Kings County.

"It was also shown upon the trial that people could now go from the outlying sections of Brooklyn to the heart of Ntw York City, Times Square and 42nd Manhattan, in elss time that it takes people who live in the Bronx to reach the same point. The corporation counsel was represented at these trials by assistants, Charles Blandy and Walter Scott Kennedy.

Ledger; Copyright, 1922.) Berlin, Dec. Stinnes, through a special article in his newspaper. the Deutsche-Allegemeine Zeitung, warns Premier Poincare that occupation of the Ruhr will terminate the Stinnes Lubersac agreement for the delivery of the building material to the devastated regions of France. The agreement only now is beginning to function through the delivery of brick in considerable quantities and some cement, slate and lime, but the plan is encountering difficulties oW ing to the opposition of the French building materials industry and the fact that German prices are higher than the French in many cases. The French are under the erroneous impression the agreement provided for sending an army of laborers to rebuild the devastated areas.
