DEPUTIES GIVE MINE EVIDENCE Two F o r m e r Deputy Sheriffs Testify In Harlan Mine Trial London, Ky„ July 8. —fIJ.R) I - Two former deputy sheriffs testified In the Harlan conspiracy trial today , that it was by sheer coincidence . that they and other deputies arrived at Evarts, Ky.. nt the same; time United Mine Workers were. holding a huge union rally. Three other deputy-defendants ‘ called by the defense in the trial of 1G coal corporations and 40 In-> dlvldnals on charges of violating | the Wagner labor relations act,l had testified previously that they just “happened" to arrive at Evarts i the afternoon of July 7, 1935. Today Earl Jones, mine guard-' deputy for the Mary Helen Coal Co., testified ho and Brutus Met-1 calf, another deputy, drove to Black Mountain and returned toi find the way blocked by the union meeting. Neither he nor Metcalf had any ’ previous knowledge of the meet-, ing, he said, and neither made any | effort to Interfere with it. Prosecution witnesses have testified the rally was broken up by I a squad of deputies, including j Jones and Metcalf. I It was just a coincidence also that took him to the Lewallen, hotel in Harlan when eight union i organizers nnd 13 deputy sheriffs were registered there, ho said. Ho ( denied knowing that other deputies also were there. Jones emphatically denied he ■was at the hotel to help "bottle up” the union organizers and said he had no idea why state troops went to the hotel at midnight and . escorted the United Mino Workers agents to safety. Meanwhile the mysterious death | of Frank White, former Harlan; county deputy sheriff and defend-' ant in the mine conspiracy trial, sidetracked interest from the trial itself today. White was shot to death Thurs-1 day night at a tourist camp near ; here. Chris Patterson, a govern-| ment witness, is held in the Laur-' el county jail charged with murd-; er, hut officials expressed “grave j doubt" that he could have killed I White. Patterson was arrested at the ] scene of the shooting within a few j minutes after it had occurred. Po-| lice said he is hardly able to walk : because of an artificial leg. No' gun was found in his possession I or near the scene of the slaying. , Officers said it would have been ; impossible for him to dispose of j l the gun without assistance, if he'i was the slayer. Another mystery is the disap- i pearance of one of the bullets that I • killed White. The bullet went j through a wall behind White and ! fell to the floor. Investigators i ‘ have been unable to find it or any

In answer to the queries of many persons, as to whether the equipment can be regained by the theater owners, the warrant significantly states in closing, “seize and keep securely the same until final action." Charges of “acting as agents for a lottery” are now pending against the theater owners in justice of peace court. The charges were filed about two weeks ago and the affidavit signed by Jesse Leßrun, owner of the Cort theater here. The owners of the Adams and Madison entered pleas of not guilty and posted bond until the trial date, which was originally set for last Wednesday. However, on the trial date, the prosecutor asked for a continuance on the grounds that a state witness could not be immediately loaded. The trial was then reset for next Friday, July 15. D. Burdette Custer, of this city and Sam Jackson of Fort Wayne, represented the defendants in the action. Mr. Custer was immediately notified of the confiscation. Meanwhile, the registration

During NRA days, Nelson became acquainted with Sidney Hill-1 man, vice chairman of the committee for industrial organization and active supporter of the new measure designed to put a “floor" under wages and a “ceiling" over hours. Hillman called on Mr. Roosevelt last week and urged him to appoint a wage-hour administrator before he left on a trans-continental trip last night. The wage-hour administrator's term is indefinite. The salary is SIO,OOO per year. Commissioner Isadon Lubin of the bureau of labor statistics estimated the act will raise the pay of about 200,000 persons under the initial minimum of 25 cents an hour, and more if industry boards fix higher rates. Hillman hoped to get a 30 cent minimum initially for the textile industry. At 30 cents, Lubin estimated the

RELATE STORY OF MONOPOLY Government Lawyers Tell Grand Jury Os Alleged Milk Monopoly Chicago July 8-(UP)-Govern-ment lawyers went before a federal grand Jury today with the story of an alleged monopoly and price I maintenance conspiracy in the vast milk Industry, particularly in the ' Chicago area. U. S. district attorney Michael L Igoe said that he and Leo F. TierIney, special assistant to attorney ' general Homer S. Cummings, out- ' lined briefly to the jury what they I expect to show in the case, which is expected to be one of the largest | trust inquiries by the government in recent years. Presentation of evidence gather- ' ed by the department of justice in a year-long investigation wi’l begin July 18 at a secret session of the jury. Igoe said presentation of voluminous data ’probably would require the rentander of the summer. The investigation was said to j have been broadened to embrace I every phase of the industry and includes the Chicago board of health which was accused by the department of justice yesterday of aiding in control of milk production and j prices by limiting the number of farms that could ’be inspected and ’ certified by health authorities. In its statement from Waehing- ’ ton, the department said "it appears that as a result of price mainten ance the producer receives an extremely low price for milk in spite of high prices 'paid by the consum- ' er.” The price of milk to Chicago consumers was raised from eight cents per quart in 1934 to 13 cents in 1937. In May the price was reduced to 12 cents. “The information now in possession of the government,” the denartment of justice announced, “Indicates this condition is not accidental but is caused by conspiracies and agreements in restraint of trade.” The government has subpoenaed records of numerous organizations and dealers in connection with the case. o ■—— Townsend Inspects State Cop Cadets Bloomington.
