Chicago, July 24. The taking of testimony in the trial on 20 mem bers of the comrnunist labor party ended Friday in flares of feeling from attorneys and witnesses. At one point Ole Hanson, former mayor of Seattle, was led from the courtroom to end a controversy be tween him and Clarence Darrow, of counsel for the defense. One of the keenest legal tilts of the hearing was brought on by the defense's motion to strike out all testimony about the general strike in Seattle on the ground that it was not an effort to overthrow the gov ernment, which is charged against the defendants. The motion was overruled. Mr. Hanson, who was recalled by the state in rebuttal, recounted a visit to his office in January be fore the Seattle strike by Duncaa The labor leader presented him with a copy of "Soviets at Work," by Nicolai Lenine, he testified. "I said, 'what are you trying to do?' Duncan said, 'read the book, and it will show you what we are trying to do.' I answered him that the farther organized labor kept away from Russian methods the better." Duncan was promptly recalled and was asked by the defense if he had heard Hanson's testimony. He replied: "Yes. It is i lie out of whole cloth." The prosecution objected and Judge Hebel warned Duncan that it was an unnecessary characteri zation. Charles D. Davis, exalted ruler of the Elks lodge of Seattle, tes tified that 250 members of his lodge served as special policemen dur ing the shipyards and, mass cction in Seattle, Another defense witness was Mrs. Viola G. Graham, a Seattle club woman, who said Seattle streets were peaceful during the strike. Situation at Dromore, in Ireland, Grows Serious Dromore. County Down. Ireland. July 24.
