Crozier on Stand Crozier, defense and a former candidate for mayor, testified he had been in Ju- neau since 1929, coming here from San Diego after getting out of the Navy. He said he worked at the A. J. until the union went out on strike last May 22, The witness said he was a trustee of the union and was chosen to that position along with 18 others by a vote of the rank and file. The court upheld the objection of prosecution that the steps lead= ing up to the strike, humber of union membership and so on were imma-~ terial ‘to the present case. Crozier then testified that he knew Neil Heard, who at the time was Secre- of the union, and described Asked if he knew where Heard is now, the witness replied that he did not but thought that he was not in the Territory. Heard left Juneau veral months ago after being con- victed of criminally libelling Mayor Isadore Goldstein in an article ap- pearing in the Alaska Labor Dis- pateh of which he was editor at the time. Denies Reports Crozier emphatically denied that Heard had asked the men at the union meeting how many had guns or clubs and how many would use them as Government witnesses tes- tified. The witness declared that at 4 union meeting the night before the alleged riot, Heard had told the meeting that the city was putting on some 500 gunmen and what Croz- ier termed “clubmen” in connection with the effort of a certain group of men to return #o the mine to register for employment. Heard ask- ed, the witness said, if the union men, or those assembled in the Union Hall, were willing to face them, referring to the clubs and guns. Asked if Heard had said anything about a box being provided in the Union Hall for guns and clubs to be dropped in as testified by Gov- ernment witnesses, Crozier replied that such a thing was “silly” and denied Heard or any one else had said any such thing.
