"Yes, determined that they would uphold the spirit of the Constitution; if not, go to jail. There were men in Everett who would refuse the right of workingmen to come and tell the workers that they had a way whereby the little children could get sufficient clothing, sufficient food, and the right of education, and other things which they can only gain--how? By organizing into industrial unions, sir, that is what I meant. We do not believe in bloodshed. Thuggery is not our method. What can a handful of workers do against the mighty forces of Maxim guns and the artillery of the capitalist class?" "Did you consider yourself a fighting member?" questioned Black. "If you mean am I a moral fighter? yes; but physically--why, look at me! Do I look like a fighter?" said the slightly built witness. "Did you or did you not expect to go to jail when you left Portland?" asked the prosecutor. "My dear Mr. Black, I didn't know and I didn't care!" responded Wimborne with a shrug of his shoulders. Wimborne joined the I. W. W. while in the Everett County Jail. Michael J. Reilley, another of the defendants, testified as to the firing of the first shot from the dock and also gave the story of the death of Abraham Rabinowitz. Vanderveer asked him the question: "Do you know why you are a defendant?" "Yes, sir," replied Reilley, "because I didn't talk to them in the city jail in Seattle. I was never picked out." Attorney H. D. Cooley was recalled to the stand and was made to admit that he was a member of the Commercial Club and a citizen deputy on the dock November 5th. He was asked by Vanderveer: "Did you see any guns on the dock?" "Yes sir." "Did you see any guns fired on the dock?" "Yes sir." "Did you see any guns fired on the boat?" "No sir." "Did you see a gun on the boat?" "I did not." "You were in full view of the boat?" "I was." Yet the ethics of the legal profession are such that this attorney could justify his actions in laboring for months in an endeavor to secure, by any and all means, the conviction of the men on the boat! Defendant Charles Black testified that McRae dropped his hand to his gun and pulled it just as one of the deputies fired from a point just behind the sheriff. Black ran down the deck and into the cabin, passing in front of the windows from which the deputies had sworn that heavy firing was going on. Leonard Broman, working partner with Abraham Rabinowitz, then took the stand and told his story. When asked what were the benefits he received from having joined the I. W. W., the witness replied: "They raised the wages and shortened the hours. Before I joined the I. W. W. the wages I received in Ellis, Kansas, was $3.00 for twelve hours and last fall the I. W. W. got $3.50 for nine hours on the same work." Ex-deputy Charles Lawry told of various brutalities at the jail and also impeached McRae's testimony in many other particulars.
