The charge against the three workers was that they had attacked Max Divak, a member of the Right wing company union, on the night of October 30, 1928, The witnesses against the workers were Divak, Gindleman, another member of the scab union, and two detectives. The district attorney did everything in power to play upon the prejudices of the jndge and jury, declaring that the Left wing union was directly connected with the Communist In- ternational. When the two chief witnesses for the Right ~wing clique, Divak and Gindleman, were placed on the wit- ness stand, their teamwork proved to be so miserable and their state- ; ments full of so many lies and con- tradictions that upon motion of the defense attorney the judge dis- missed the charges against two of the workérs, David Wecker and Ko- varsky.
