It 1ki« been further disclosed that j
one of tii' defenders of the hall. Wes- j
lev Kverett, :m overseas veteran, was
unmcntionably mutiiai- d when ho |
was lyni hed by a tn<*b of citizens dm 1
ing the following evening.
At the Montes; ' trial 1! of tie
defendants were quitted of the
charge of first degree murder Sever
ond degree. Two were acquitted en
tirely and the one from whom was ob
tained the alleged confession of a con
spiracy on the part of the I. W. W.
to attack the parade, was adjudged
insane by the trial purv.
. The state attorneys object to the
verdict on account of the implied pro
vocation of the attacking mob At
the present time a motion by the de
fense for a new trial is pending and
the r. W. W. will appeal i<> the high
er courts if the motion is denied.
The trial lasted two months and
was unique in that it held the head
lines in the worlds press practically !
throughout that period.
Conservative labor lnxlies and th»
unofficial jury which followed the pro
gress of the trial acquitted all defen- 1
dants and condemn tlie trial as "un
fair" on acocunt of the court refusing
i to ju t opt proofs of the former raids,
tortures and abductions of I. \V. W.
members and of the previously known
conspiracy to raid the hall on Armis
tice Day. The unofficial jury also
condemned the railing of troops and
the “atmosphere" doflfused l«v their
presence during the trial.

the charge of murdering Grimm will
probably be arruinged on new charges
growing out of the same occurence.
Eye witnesses of the tragedy sum
marize tlie attack as follows: As the
parade passed the building in which
the I. \V. \V. hall was located, it
hulted, with the American Degion
marchers directly in front, many of
them bearing side arms. Members of
the i x-soldiers division dashed for

Some of the shots were fired from
tlie hallway and others sounded as
tho fired from the rear of the hall
A man staggered from the entrance
nvn except among the (minders and
heard no shots other than those fire.l
in tlie hall entrance at the moment of
attack and those apparently

KNOWS TO WELL.
When the kidneys are weak.
Nature tells you about It.
The urine is nature’s index,
i Infrequent or too frequent passage,
other disorders suggest kidney ills.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for dis
ordered kidneys.
People all over the world testify to
thi ir worth.
H. M. Parker, prop, barber shop,
146 F street, San Dlegc, Calif., says:
"Doan’s Kidney Pills are fine and
there is no doubt about It. I believe
that too much standing, together with
little exercise, made my kidneys give
out on me. Ever}' muscle in my back
ached and when I lifted my hand
above my shoulders, a sharp, cutting i
pain always took me in my back. My
kidneys were awfully weak, too.
Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me and fix
ed me up in fine shape."
