‘TRIGGER’ TRIAL ON WITH UNION MEN OUT OF BOX Judge Removes Two Jurors and Tension Is Revived in Murder Case. TESTIMONY IS BEGUN MINGO COUNTY COURTHOUSE, WILLIAMSON, W. Va„ Feb. 10.— “Order in the courtroom!” Three sharp raps with the lead end of a .45-caliber revolver cartridge, and Deputy Sheriff Medley Crum had the complete silence necessary for the “Oyez, oyez” litany. The "trigger trial" was on In earnest. Crum, who Is the official order keeper, always uses the bullet for rapping, but today's rap particularly was sharp and there was a peculiar ring to his voice. It was illustrative of the whole atmosphere In this packed courtroom and throughout Mingo County. Overnight the tension that reigned two weeks ago has returned. The commonwealth of West Virginia Is to put on Its first witness during the day in the case against Sid Hatfield aqd twenty others jointly accused of murdering Detective Albert Felts. On the jury are five farmers, two school teachers, a telephone manager, an electrician, a brakeman, a laborer aud a sawmill worker. The confident prediction, “They'll never get a jury in this county,” had been put to naught chiefly by Judge Bailey In applying the judicial steam roller. He removed the union Issue by excusing the two talesmen who were union men and whom the State desired to challenge on that ground. Witnesses for the State who dodge the court will be kept In jail till they have testified. Judge Bailey announced. He said one witness already had been ordered arrested on that ground.

BAFFLE STATE AS MYERS CASE GOES TO JURY (Continued From Fage One.) for the two step-children and maintain the photographic business. Mrs. Myers testified that she and Myers were married in June. 1910. She told how. in the fall of the first year ot their married life, they had their first serious quarrel. “I think it occurred when I attempted to hold him to his promise to buy a home,” she testified. “The next time he quarreled with me was when my parents sold the old farm In Marlon County. I attended the sale and on returning I cried. Mr. Myers ordered me out of the house and told me to go back to my parents. The boys began crying and h- allowed me to come back. ’ OBJECTION TO REMARKS. At this point, Attorney Arthur R. Robinson, chief counsel for Mrs. Myers, put a question which was objected to by Prosecutor Evans. After the court had •ruled, Robinson said: “All we want to do_is to get her story before the Jury.” Prosecutor Evans jumped to his feet and said: “I think that that remark of counsel is the plainest thing he has said under his breath during this trial. It Is unethical and unprofessional and such remarks should be stopped.” ' Robinson said that the “words just slipped out. as he should have said that all he wanted to do was to get competent testimony before the jury.” 'Judge Collins said: “These remarks made under the breath by counsel must stop. I will take prompt and strict action if the court's attention is called to the matter again. Proceed with the proper interrogation of the witness.”

Prosecutor Evans repeatedly objected tp the manner tn which Robinson put the questions to Mrs. Myers and In most Instances Judge Collins sustained the prosecutor. “Mr. Myers had a revolver when I married him. - ’ stated Mrs. Myers. •‘He used to carry it In the car, but kept It hidden at. home. That revolver can be produced as evidence if necessary.” HrSBASD SOCGHT BI'ICIDE FACT. Mrs. Myers continued: ‘‘About seven years ago I became afraid of him. About seven years ago, one night, he came to my bed and threatened to kill himself. He left and returned and he told me that if I would come upstairs with him he would kill us both. At one time he insisted that I sign an agreement to commit suicide. “He said that if I didn't sign the agreement to commit suicide he would kill me,” testified Mrs. Myers. Mr. Robinson said: “1 hesitate to ask you this question, but did the decedent threaten to kill you If you did not allow him to use your body unnaturally?” DESCRIBES ATTACK BY HCBBAND. She, answered: “Yes. Six or seven years ago, the first time. He came to me after being out nearly all night. He had been drinking. He said to me that I was his wife and he had a right to do what he wanted. When I repulsed him he tore my gown An another time he tore another gown and also tot the same reason he has torn two gowns.” Looking at the Jnry Mrs. Myers said: “I often woke up in the night to find Mr. Myers sitjing up in the bed with his bands fingering my neck.” “Were you frightened?” counsel asked. “Naturally." “I object to the answer and move It be stricken out,” said Prosecutor Evans. "It may go out.” the court ruled. “Were yon frightened?” counsel repeated. “Yes,” she answered. "When WBB It that you ceased fearing Mr. Myen?” Mr. Robinson asked. rirmly she replied: I never ceased fearing for my life until after the misfortune —the shooting.” Mrs. Myers testified at length of various cruelties on the part of her husband. inch as throwing her against the bathtub and bruising her. choking her, throwing her to the floor and driving her out of the house. She testified that on one occcasion in November, 1919, her two stepsons and a neighbor boy attempted to poll Myers off her when he was attacking her. TELLS OF TAKING BOY’S REVOLVER. Mrs. Myers testified to taking a revolver from her stepson, Arthur, after be traded a drum for the weapon. She said she placed the revolver in a drawer of her .desk and finally took the revolver uptown to have it “filled.” She admitted buying cartridges. She claimed that for a month or two she carried the revolver in her pocket on entering the “darkroom” when developing pictures, as Myers often attacked her on coming out of this room. Probably the most effective testimony given by Mrs. Myers was her calm recital of* the frantic efforts of her husband to compel ter to remove from her divorce complaint against him the charge of adultery. “On the night of the shooting,” said Mrs. Myers, “I want Into the darkroom to dq.< some work. Mr. Myers, who was sitting at bis desk peeling an apple and

Dress Suit Worn by $6-a-Day Solon Subject of Scandal Sharp parliamentary tactics were employed and numerous “aspersions” were cast In the Senate today In a spirited debate over a resolution demanding to know how Senator Alonzo H. I.indley of Kingman could wear a dress suit on $6 a day, the salary of a Senator. It seems the Senator appeared conspicuously in “open face clothes” at a recent affair. The resolution was Introduced several days ago and was referred to a committee of "farmers,” Senator Oliver Kline of Huntington, Senator Miles J. Furnas of Lynn and Senator Joseph M. Cravens of Madison. Senator Harold • Van Orman of Evansville Introduced a motion demanding that the resolution be recalled and acted on. Immediately there were protests from the special committee that It had not had time to go over such an Important matter. Things were lively for a time, but the argument was finally settled when Senator James J. Nejdl, noted parliamentarian, declared a resolution could not be withdrawn from a special committee, and when Senator Furnas assured the Senate the dress suit, which he said was “In hock,” would not be molested.

looking at some papers, called me twice. He was sitting at his desk. He said that If I didn't take out the adultery charge I would never live to get a divorce. He had been quarreling at the dinner table and I had asked him if we couldn't have one meal iu peace. Upstairs he read portions of the divorce complaint of mue and told me that if I didn’t have certain sections taken out he would kill me and the two detectives 1 had engaged. “He became excited and called me ‘gutter trash’ and ‘a G—— ’ and other things. I told him that getting a divorce was the last thing 1 wanted to get. I told him that I wanted a congenial settlement. He had often told me that my funeral expenses would be a cheerful expense. RECITED DETAILS OF TRAGEDY. "Mr. Myers had his pocket knife In his hand. He became more and more excited. lie told me that he would kill me and the two detectives. I knew mat he meant It. He advanced toward me with his hands up. He had the knife in his right hand. “I said to him, ‘Fred, don’t come any closer.’ I backed np against a cabinet. He came closer with his hands up. I was frightened. He said, ‘G— ryou will never put my own flesh and blood on the witness stand against me.’ “He came closer. I fired once. “I was stunned for a minute. “I attempted to go down the stairs. “He came at me again. I fired again. “If I had fired more than twice I do not remember,” testified Mrs. Myers as she fingered a string of pearls around her neck. The State had previously shown that four bullets were taken from Myers’ body. After the shooting Mrs. Myers stated she went downstairs and to’.d the housekeeper to call the police. She said she returned upstairs and then came down, again.

CORROBORATED BY STEP-SON. Arthur Myers, 12, one of Mrs. Myers’ step-sons, took the witness stand and testified of his father's cruelty. He spoke of Mrs. Myers as his “mother,” although his own mother, Mrs. McGrath of Chicago, was in the Courtroom. He told of aiding other boys in an attempt to take bis father off his step-mother Oct. 19, 1919. He was able only to give two specific Instances of his father attacking his mother. He claimed he saw his father peeling an apple shortly before the fatal shooting. Byron Myers, another step-son, took the stand and testified: “I believe he (Mvers) was peeling an apple and looking at some papers. 1 couldn’t see the haniße of the kuife he had. Mother told us to go downstairs.'' Arthur Myers was called back to the stand and the defense failed In an es fort to show that Mr. Myers had been Informed by an attorney that all Myers could do In the case was to "kill'' Mrs. Myers if she persisted in getting a divorce. Arthur claimed he feigned he was ssleep on an automobile tour and beard his father say that to an attorney. The court sustained the motion of the State to strike the testimony from the record. Many character witnesses were put on the stand for Mrs. Myers. Among them was Lew Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis, who testified that her repu tatlon was "first class." Prosecutor Evans objected and said, “Answer that question either by good or bad." “Good,” declared Shapk. “Yon know Todd Young, administrator of the estate?” asked Mr. Evans. “Yes." “You know him in a political way?” “I know him.” “You are frequently called Into cases to testify as a character witness?” “I am not.” “That's all, Mr. Shank,” said the prosecutor. The State had proved by detectives and the police that no apple peelings were found by the detectives and that no pocketknlfe was discovered at any time by the police. Evidence showed that no one entered the room of the tragedy from the time of the shooting, with th exception of Mrs. Myers, until the detectives arrived. Attorney Robinson made an effort to prove there were apple peelings in the room by introducing several girls who claimed they entered the room hours afterward ana found apple peelings in a small barrel used as a waste masket. They admitted this was after the detectives made their examination of the studio. SEEMS TO HANG ON POCKETKNIFE. Those who are closely watching the case seem to feel that the fate of Mrs. Myers will depend a great deal upon whether the jury will believe If Mr. Myers actually had a pocketknife In his hands when Mrs. Myers killed him. The , kuife has never been found. Those who testified as to the existence of the apple peelings were Miss Olga Just and her sister, Miss Rose Just, 1605 Bellefontaine street; Miss Katherine E. Lewis. 1810 North Aalabama street, and Miss Helen Henry, who lives near the Myers studio. Many other neighbors were Introduced by the defense as character witnesses. The defense was able to show by several witnesses that they had warned Mrs. Myers agalDSt her husband.

REFUSES TO BARE JAP NEGOTIATIONS WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—" Substantial progress" has been made in the negotiations for anew agreement between thj United States and Japan, according to a letter which Secretary of State Colby sent today to Senator Lodge, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Secretary Colby, however, declined to transmit to the committee any paper In the negotiations. The committee had requested a "copy of the agreement,” which was supposed to have been reached by the United States and Japan. No agreement has been reached. Secretary Colby said, and thus It was not possible for him to comply with the request.

ASSAILANT OF GIRL RETAKEN Henry Phillips, Shown Leniency by Transfer, Captured After Farm Escape. An effort will be made today to have Henry Phillips, a fugitive from the Indiana State Farm, sent to prison for escaping from the farm. Phillips was ar. rested by Traffic Officer Gooch yesterday and gave his name as Clifford Morisy, but later In the day detectives identified hitn as Henry Philips. It was learned that Phillips escaped from the farm last November. Phillips is one of the seven your men who, last August, lured a 16-year-old girl Into a taxi and took her to a lonely place near Eagle creek and Kentucky avenue, where she was assaulted. The girl after the attack was taken to the city hospital by the police who had been notified of the case by the taxidriver. The police reached the scene of the assault so quickly that most of the men could not escape. All the seven were given prison sentences by Judge James Collins about a month later. Sonin months later, however, It was learned that three of the young men had been transferred from the Jeffersonville Reformatory to the Indiana State Farm. The transfer, said to have been made with the approval of (be court, had been kept quiet. Besides Phillips, George Schribble and Lawrence Nichols were transferred. Phillips told the detectives thnt Schribble had left the farm the same day he did and that they separated soon after escaping. Detectives Haley and Stewart say they have not been able to find Schribble, but that an effort would be made to have Phillips sent to prison instead of being returned to the Indiana State Farm.

At times I could hardly do my housework. I got medicine from the doctor but it did not help me. I saw Lydia E.

I recommend your medicine to my friends and you may publish my testimonial.”—Mrs. Chester A. Ball, R. 15, Fayette, Ohio. An Illinois woman relates her experience: Bloomington, 111. so weak I had no interest in my housework. I had such a backache I could not cook a meal or sweep a room without raging with pain. Rubbing my back with alcohol sometimes eased the pain for a few hours, but did not stop it. I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and six bottles of it have made me as strong and healthy as any woman ; and I give my thanks to it for my health.”—Mrs. J. A.McQuiTTY, 610 W.Walnut St.,Bloomington, 111. The conditions described by Mrs. Cassen, Mrs. Ball, and Mrs. McQuitty will appeal to many women who struggle on with their daily tasks in just such conditions—in fact, it is said that the tragedy in the livesof some women is almost beyond belief. Day in and day out they slave in their homes for their families —and beside the daily routine of housework, often make clothes for themselves and for their children, or work in their gardens, all the while suffering from those awful bearing-down pains, backache, headaches, nervousness, the blues, and troubles which sap the very foundation of life until there comes a time when nature gives out and an operation seems inevitable. If such women would only profit by the experience of these three women, and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the natural restorative for such conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappiness. There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlet in the United States wherein some woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this famous medicine. Therefore ask your neighbor, and you will find in a great many cases that at some time or other she, too, has been benefited by taking it, and will recommend it to you For more than forty years this old-f ashioned root and herb medicine hasbeen vestoring suffering women to health and strength. .
