Asked for the clubs, the miners turned them over, the of- ficers testified. Gilbertson said e arresied Simon Graner and Lee Johnson and help- ed in the arrest of Harry Datoff. He pointed out several of the others in tHe court room as participants, ‘Junge named Ed Rennie, CHff Matthews and Mentor Peterson, “Markle said Datoff, Graner, Mat- thews, Frank Agoff, Alex Kupoff and Bill as men under ar< rest who had . seen taking part in the disturbance. ¢ Five of the 28 men arrestea as a result of the labor disturbance of June 25 were identified by wit- nesses‘ at *the preliminary hearing this mornirg before U. 8.

Mahoney and Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan identified Agoff, Farlin and Warner. Graner was named by Lloyd H. “Kinky” Bayers. Attorneys Clash The identification came after a sharp clash between Defense Coun- sel George Grigsby and District At- torney Willlam A. Holgheimer and Ni§ assistant, George W. Folta, which continued to bob up during the ‘hearing - and’ which was the cpuse of some strong and loud words between the attorneys in the hall after .recess was taken at The breach came when Robertson poitited to Daroff as the man he arrested. Folla asked the defend- ant his name’ and Grigsby immed- lately objected on grounds it was not. proper: procedure and the de- fendant did ‘not have to answer. The prosecution contended it would be' brought out anywsy who the men were and it was only wasting time to trifle over such matters, QOtigsby persisted with some pointed rémarks aimed af the District At- torney’s office: which brought Dis- trict Attorney Holgheimer to his feet with ‘the ‘statement that he was- not ‘going to stand for being insulted - by counsel. J Court Steps In Judge Mullen gnded the argu- ment when he sald he was inter- ested in knowing himself who the man was and asked Deputy Mar- shal ‘John McCormick, who was in the court: room, if he knew the defendant. MecCormick said he did and gave his name as Alex Daroff. | A similar situation camé up again in the identification of Farlin and | Warner and it was necessary to call Deputy Marghal Walter Hellan to make the idenrtification. Robertson sald in his examina- tion . that he saw a dozen men Jump on Speciai- Ofticer Jones and 4that he pulled Daroff from Jones and placed him under arrest. The Special -Officet, in deseribing what occurred as he saw it, said the Union miners formed a line across lower Front Street near the union hall and resisted the advance of the men marching down to the A. J. mine to register. He declared “that the unioh mén had been ord- ered to disperse but that they did not do. 80 but -began pushing the men who were, headed for the mine (Continied wi Page Two) s uneau During This Month; 30 Vesselsto Bein Fleet SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 5—Fourteen cruisers and six- {con destroyers are to visit Alaskan ports between July 19 and August 1.
