McLaughlin said that after the | first lihe was broken’ when tear gas bombs were thrown, Graner, Beav- ert and Rennie tried to form a second | line but wete not’successful. Says Beavert Hit Him Testifying as ‘to the assault, Mc- | ! Laughlin’ said Beavert called out: | |“Get the Fink” and then advanced toward him, striking him'in the mouth with his fist. The Witness said he stumbled back over the curb anid another man kitked him in lhr‘ back. He continued on to the A. J.| | office, he related, but near there-was | advised by other men to go to the He said he | felt badly and did go to the hos- pital. | McLaughlin said he saw Mike Div- "yak, orie of the indicted men but one not yet in custody, with a rock in| his hand. A stir went through the court room when the witness, in reply to ques- he heard a man say, “Now it’s time to get the guns” This was after ed cn this point at the time by either defense or prosecution. Explain¢ “Unemployed” Asked on cross examination what he meant by ‘“unemployed,” Mc- Laughlin said he meant men who had not been working at thé mine | at the time of thé shutdown. Effort | was made by the defense to bring from the witness admission that m the march were against going back to work, but McLaughlin denied that it was only a few of the union men who were attempting to break up the meeting. The witness testified a has Finlay, that there were no wea- pons on any of the men in the| marcher’s ranks. Sharp reprimand was given De- fense Counsel Goodman by the court | when the' latter at this point at-| tempted to introduce pictures for! identification, | “You must be more familiar with court procedure than to attempt to introduce pictures here without shewing them to the court,” Jud: George F. Alexander stated. The| urt has repeatedly cautioned! | again inciting the men not to let the ‘p‘.aced him under arrest and turned this morning to tell his version of the June 24 trouble. The Marshal said he arrived at the alleged riot scene in front of the union hall just avout the time the marchers were stopped by a line of union men from- (‘d across the streét. He told how he had got up on an automobile and warned thé men to disperse as they could not block the street. His re- marks were met with boos and jeers, he said, and directly fighting started. Marshal Tells of Arrest then took action, taking hold of sev- eral union men and leading them to the sidewalk and ‘dllng them to stay there. He told pnmcularly of taking Frank Agoff, oné of the defendants, to the sidewalk and repeatedly warn- ing him. “I told him I would arrest him for inciting a riot if he went out'in the street again,” Mahoney testified. “I icoked around a ‘moment or two later and there he was out in the street marchers through. T went over and him over to Folice Officer Markle.” The Marshal related how he had been gasesfl by the tear gas bombs' and was unable to continue on to the | A J. mine office for some little | time. ‘There was no cross examination | of Mahoney. Tdentifies Men Wort Newman, who has' werked at the 'A. J. mine since 1916, was the | last witnéss on the stand before court | récested at noon. He identified Nick Kobak, Roman Eilers. Jack Romer | and C. W. Farlin from among the | cefendant: as men who, he said, had | a “sap” which he explained was about two or three inches around, peinting to lamp stand on the court's desk. He described to the jury how | Kobak had held the club aloft as if | about to strike when he saw him. Eifort was made by the defense to Thé Marshal’ explained how he|seen in' the fray. The Chief picked up evidence this afterncon in the riot hearing of 25 men in Fedéral district court when Chief of Police Roy Hoffman and Jack Brown, an employee of the Alaska Juncau mine, both identified some of the defend- ants as some of theJmen they alleged took part in the street’ disorder on Lower Front Street June 24, last. Hoffman named Ivan Diboff, War- ren Beavert, Roman Eilers, Frank Agoff, Bill Taroff, Martin Peterson and George Kozdoff as men he had the men out, some of them by name, from among the defendants and then identified six of the men in a picture reputed to be a photograph taken at the scene of the trouble near the Al- aska Mine Workers Hall. Saw Dateff Wield Club Several of the men were charged with acts of violence by government withess Brown. "He said he saw Har- ry Datoff, one of the defendants, hit Ted Danielsen, one of the. men marching to register for employment at the mine, over the head with a club. “Nick Kobak was going to hlhf Danielsen,” Brown said, “but Harry! Dateff beat him to it, and knocked ™ Danielsen over against me. Danielsen’ was marching right alongside of me.” Asked what Datoff did after hit- ting Danielsen, Brown ‘said “they sneake1 off,” meaning Datoff and Kobak. He said Simon Graner, another de- fendant, hit a man named’ Albert Nerman and that he saw Nick Kobak | with a bolt in his hand. Defense Counsel tried to confuse the witness | on how he happened to know it was | Kobak with so many people around, ‘ but Brown replied simply that he | had known Kobak for 10 years and thers was no mistake in his mind. He named Beavert and Jack Romer and other union men who attempted | to stop the marchers, declarihg that show that Newman was not sure of | seeing Kobak, but the witness ex-| plained that he had known the man and met him many times and plac- es “around town.” Asked if he knew there was a strike on at the time of the street trouble, Newman replied there was not. Asked why he had not gone back to work after May 22, date of the walkout, Newman said he had | been told by his foreman not to re- turn for the time being, and that he! did return to his job in the shop on| the night shift of June 24, the day of the trouble. Mention Reynolds First attempt to'connect Percy Reynolds, well known Juneau busi- ness man who served as a spec- ial officer on the day of the alleged rict, with the case was made today by defense counsel. Questions were put to both McLoughlin and New- man asking if they knew him. Both said they did but stated they did not see him at the scene of the trouble. Goodman on remarks and methods of procedure. At the cross examhina tion of Finlay, Goodman comment- | ed “You only saw what you wanted to see, didn’t you,” which brought re- Jjoinder from the Court that such methods would not be tolerated. No Vofe Taken ! McLaughlin also denied that any official strike had been called and |in reply to question as to whether anybody had kept him from voting on a strike, the witness replied: “No cne kept me from voting and no one atked me.to vote ither.” U. 8. Marshal Willlam T. Ma~ honey was called by the govermnent I Government witnesses related sev- ral times thus far in the trial that the so-called union men, or the men affiliated with the Alaska Ming Workars Union, had run along side of the marchers part of the way from the A. B, Hall, and then had gone on ahead to form the human barri- cade. Witness Newman said he heard men shouting “come on ahead, union men,” and that the union men responded. He explained he was in the second line of marchers and saw the union form in the street in front ' of the Union Hall.

He said both Romer | /and Beavert ran on ahead when | they neared the Union Hall and took | up positions with the group blocking {the street, which the government charges was made up of the defend- ants and others. Knew of Strike line Asked if hie knew there was a strike | on’at the time of the trouble, Browh said he did, as he was a member of | |away from him." the Alaska Mine Workers Union, but added that a large number of the' men in the miné did not belong to the union and were not in sympathy with the walkout. He said he did not, and later became a member of the Juneau Mine Workers Associa- tion which was composed of men | wanting to return to work. Chief Hoffman told of how he and his officers had attempted to clear the street but without success. He finally called the Fire Department and later' the police released tear gas bombs to disperse the alleged rioters, he explained. Hoffman de- clared the first man he saw at the scene was Frank Agoff %ho “was raving mad” and “running around talking and pounding himself on the chest, declaring he was an Amer- ican citizen or something like that.” Took Club Off Datoff Asked if he had seen Datoff, who was. accused of hitting Danielsen, Hoffman said he had and that Da- toff had “one of our clubs in his hand,” and “Junge ‘and I took it Officer Kenneth Junge.
