Hard job picking jurors to try Wobblies in Montesano case
In Montesano Washington on January 27 a fresh bid for changing venue in the murder trial of 11 alleged I W. W. defendants over the Armistice Day parade death in Centralia was denied at the end of the second day. More than a dozen talesmen were examined with only two jurors accepted. Defense attorney George F. Vanderveer pressed for venue removal arguing prejudicial Grays Harbor County conditions threaten a fair trial. He said he would renew the motion during the trial. Elmer Smith will testify for himself as an accessory before the fact as he joins the defense team. (Continued on Page 1, Column 4.)
