Seattle, June 12.—Charles E.
Houston and John H, Bullock, the
Seattle coal men convicted of a
conspiracy to defraud the United
Slates government, were cited to
day to appear before the United
States Court of Appeals in 30
days, to which the men have ap
pealed to*have the judgment of
the court reversed. The men
were sentenced after one of the
hardest fought trials in the his
tory of the United States court
here on November 18, 1912, to
serve one year in the King county
jail and pay a fine of $2,000 each.
Their attorneys filed with the
clerk of the court this morning
106 assignments of error, cover
ing 52 typewritten pages. Every
ruling made by the judge was as
signed as an error.
To prepare copies of all the pa
pers and exhibits will cost thou
sands of dollars. It will be al
most a physical impossibility to
l make all the necessary copies
r within 30 days and if they are not
completed then, an order will have
to be obtained for continuance.
The circuit court of appeals
will meet in September in Seattle
and it is more than likely that the
appeal will be hdard then.

Captain Morgan, of the slate
troops, who lias been in command
of tiie National (iuard on duly at
the coal mines since the present

tigating committee.

of the military commission he
had violated all the state laws
because in reality a slate of war
existed in the coal district and it
was the only means id' preserving
order and protecting properly.
The miners, he asserted. were
foreigners who had been led to
believe if was right for them to
redress any real or fancied
wrongs by killing the guards or
burning the mines, and the police
were unable to maintain order,
therefore military law had been
proclaimed in the coal counties
by the governor and the 'stale
troops had prevented destruction
of properly and loss of life.

trial of -19 miners at. one time lie
admitted having done so, as the
men were captured when an at
tack had been made on one of the
properties.
