The judge limited the arguments of counsel to one hour for each side, In his argument District Attorney Vernon Stoll demanded conviction of the accused men, C. E. Circle, James Vassion, Roy Staton, Henry Yuen and Peter Zderich. Defense Counsel George Anderson asked for their acquital. In the event of conviction the maximum penalty’ for each of the defendants would be one year in the county jail and $2000 fine. District Attorney Stoll called only one rebuttal witness yesterday. That was Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen, who testified that he had not used profane language in addressing the Murthie mine pickets on the morning of the rioting. The testimony of eight witnesses Wednesday completed the defense’s case shortly before 5 o'clock. At that time Defenpe Attorney Anderson moved for an instructed verdict to the jury but Judge Tut‘tle overruled it stating: “There is sufficient evidence td uphold a conviction in this case.’”’ The witneesses who testified for the defense yesterday are: Carl Rowley, Mrs. Margaret Green, the only woman witness during the trial; Defendants Vassion, Circle, Zderich and Staton. Grant Spear, a sixth picket held on the riot charge, who will have a separate triah and Scott Erwin, international organizer for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, a CIO affiliate. Circle testified the sheriff told the CIO pickets, who were massed in the Murchie mine road, preventing the automobiles carrying the miners from moving to “Get the hell out of this road, I demand you open this road.”’ “T told him,’ Circle said, “we were standing ‘on ‘our constitutional rights and the Wagner Act gave us the right to peaceful picketing.” Circle stated while he was getting out of the tear gas he was knocked down four times by high-way patrolmen. He said when he went over the brow of a hill on the Murchie road and down toward the mine he accosted General Manager Robert Henhdricks of the Murchie mine.
