Foila on events which it is alleged transpired, Graner said he couldn't remember. Can’t Remember Asked why he had gone to the A. B. Hall that morning, the defendant testified he thought it was a meet- ing for A. J. employees. Asked if he had seen the public notices in The Empire calling attention to the plans of the men to march to the mine office to register, the appointment of special policemen by the city and the notice of the mine announce- | ment fhat registration for employ- ! ment would be accepted, Graner first __denied he knew anything about, them - although he had read the paper all b during the strike. When they were i called to his attention in a copy of The Empire, the defendant replied that he did remember seeing the no- tices but it had slipped his mind. ¢ Those portions of The Empire re- ferring to the strike were admitted in evidence in the case. The defendant said he didn't do anything at the A. B. Hall except stand around and then walked down the street to the Union hall where he stood around some more, but see- ing nothing in the way of violence, he stated. Denies Activity Government witnesses had testi- fied that Graner caused a disturb- ance at the A. B. Hall, was in the line of marchers going down the street, and left the procession and ran on ahead to join others in blockine +he street. This the defendant stead- fastly denied. He said tnere were a lot of people in the street when he got there but no union blockade as far as he could see. When tear gas was thrown he continued on down the left side of the street toward the A. J. office, he testified, and then Just stood around some more talk- ing to several of the men going to register and attempting to talk them out of going in. Near the sawmill, the defendant said Lloyd Ritter, a government witness, attempted to at- tack him but he had hit Ritter just once, after he had ducked the lat- ter's blow. He denied staging any mock battles in the street. Graner said he asked several of the men not to make ‘‘scabs” of themselves by registering while the strike was on. Albert Norman, a government witness who testified Graner struck him, attempted to at- tack him first, the defendant as- serted. He continued that was the time he had trouble with RalphButts. Graner declared Butts grabbed him by the throat after he (Graner) had struck Norman and then he and Butts started fighting. It was while in this tussle that the two were ar- rested, the defendant explained. Remembers No Violence Order Graner said he attended most of the union meetings prior to June 24 but couldn’t remember ever having heard the proposed march to the A. J. discussed. He might have, he explained, but he just couldn't re- member. He recalled, however, he replied in answer to query that Al Nygren, President of the union, had warned all the men on the picket line against violence, but he couldn’t re- member that that had anything to do with the morning of June 24. Rather, he thought it was just gen- eral orders for pickets. The defendant admitted he wore ploves that day but denied he had his knuckles taped. He further as- verted he saw none of the defendants use any force or violence at any timel during the day. In various pictures, Graner pick- ed out various defendants but said he never saw any of them doing a thing except standing around. He further said he heard no officers or- der the street cleared in front of the union hall, but he did hear some- body in the non-union ranks shout “hold 'em.” This, he explained, he be- crowd ahead. The Man In The Hat Bill Taroff described himself on June 24 as the man in the light hat, with his hands in his pockets and an overcoat on his arm. The de- fendant said, on cross examination, that he never had his hands out of his pockets-at any time during thei| trouble. He walked up to the A. B. hall that morning, with his light hat| and overcoat, he explained, stood on a bench to try to see what was going' on, then he causally strolled down Seward and Frant Streets to the scene near the union hall, ’ around there, he ekplaihed, hands in his pockets, reiterating that fice where he did some more stand- ‘ing around with George Kodzoff and others. There was a big crowd at both the union hall and the A. J. office and he was pushed around some near the union hall but it never was necessary for him to take his hands from his pockets, he testified, as he didn't see any trouble, just a he never once removed them, and then went én down to the A.J. of- Taroff wore his now famous light to court today, but when attorney Howard Stabler started to introduce it in evidence, the defendant objected when the court pointed out he would not be able to get it back until the. trial was over, so the hat just sat on the clerk’s desk for the jury to see that it was a light gray hat. Taroff denied that he ever once lost his hat on the day of the trouble, de- claring it was right on his Head all the time. Government witness Ever- ett Nowell had testified that he saw Taroff with his hat off and'a cut on his head which was bleeding. |4 Nowell said he recognized his bald head. The defendant asserted no- body ever hit him on his bald spot either on June 24 or any other time and that all the time of the fracas his head was well covered with the sacred light gray hat, which, it was brought out last Friday, was a new hat on June 24, because George Kod- zoff said he kidded” him about his new hat. Nary A Boo The defendant denied that he booed the remarks of U. S. Marshal William T. Mahoney near the union hall or that he booed anybody all day. Rather, he just stood around with his. hands in his pockets, wearing his new hat. He identified himself in pictures, as “the man with the light hat” and denied he had any fight with Special Officer Al Lundstrom, who had pointed out Taroff as the man he had trouble with. Defendant Taroff was still on the stand as court recessed at noon, and he was allowed to reclaim his fa- mous hat to wear home to lunch.
