CharlcB Town W. Va.?"The rulingB
of Judge J. M. Woods In the trial of
William Hllzzurd assure tho people of
Logan county that they will never
again l>e menuced hy such nn armed
attack hb was made upon them last
year."
Thus tho result of the flrBt of the
"treason trials" in tho Jefferson county
court Is summarized hy John Chufln. j
prosecuting attorney of Logan county.!
"When Judge Woods made his fam-1
' ous decision, oh the motion of coun- ;
Bel for tho defense, to take the case
from the Jury, stating In effect that .
the assembling and marching of such !
a body of men constituted tho crime
of treason, ho sot up a barrier to any j
, such attempts In the future which i
| only the most foolhardy would try to
overstep.
"A groat principle has been firmly I
established and hereafter It will bo'
too dungerous to tako up arms against
iiiu auuioruies or tho Btnto of West1
Virginia?dangeroiiH to tho loaders as
well ub to tho deluded followers who |
actually carry tho rlfloH?for such a
thing to be tried."
Logan's Vindication
That a victory for tho citizens of1
Logan county has been won in tho
Blizzard and Wllburn cases Is tho belief
of tho men who have been hero
during the two cubcs. While the crime
of troason was committed against tho
Btato it became noccasary, owing to
the depleted condition of the state
treaBury, for citizens of Logan county i
to advance tho funds to bring tho
cusob to trial. In so doing they felt
that they wero striving to end tho
warlike condition which had prevailed
on the borders of their county for
years.
i uu ihu uiHume points or 1110 rrinis
were: In the Blizzard case the do- i
clslon that the armed march of August,
1921, constituted treason and
that the men who instigated and took
part In it were liable to punishment,
and that In the Wilburn case that men
who take up arms against otllcors of
the law are not absolved from punish-:
ment because they may have been J
misled by false propaganda.
William Blizzard was acquitted on
an alibi, the state not having shown
beyond a reasonable doubt the com-1
mission of an overt act by him, but
this did not negative tho proof that
treason had been committed.
False Talcs Disproved.
"Tile trials at Charles Town have
given the first opportunity to demon
strate in open court, in a manner '
satisfy any fair-minded person the
falsity of tlies propaganda circulated
for years with regard to tho govern
incut anil people of Logan county," 1
says Prosecuting Attorney Chatin.
"It was the circulation of stu b false
stories, by men who had a selfish in
terost in trying to force the unionization
of tho Ligan mines, that stirred
up this armed march. Tliey said that
Ixigan county was overrun with "gun
men" and '"thugs" and "mine guards"
They charged tlint the common p
bad no rights there In court their
claims fell tlat; every tale of tho sort,
when sifted clown, proved to bo a
malicious invention.
"On tho other side, tho state showed
that tlier" are no private guards or
gunmen in Logan county; that there
are some deputy sheriffs regularly
appointed by the county court and
taking orders from no ono but the
sll- rifl Til C deputies client ttio P>"
servo in tlic sheriff's oliice, collect
taxes, guard pay-rolls and arrest
criminals. Tliis .mall force liail to do
polii ?> duty in a county of 400 squ ire
iiiilos area and having upwards of
50,000. How absurd it would be to assort
tl.at, in their leisure hours, this
handful of deputies was able to dominate
or terrorize the peojdo in 142
mining communities is apparent.
The Logan Defenders.
"Furtherimwe it was shown that,
when the army of union miners, who
had been assembled and inarched to
the borders of Ixignn county by the
orders of their leaders, and who had
b? en excited by all manner of extravagant
and absurd rumors and wickod
tales, enmo to the mountains north of
the Guyau Valley, tho citizens of Logan
county arose en masse to defend
their homes and property. The testimony
has shown that farmers, busi- I
ness nu n and non-union miners alike
took up their rifles and guarded those
mountains bravely. Several giving i
up their lives in tho struggle.
"Inasmuch as the motive in tho pros-1 I
ecutlon of these trials which arise i
from the ("Vents accompanying the
armed march was to secure Justice t
and vindication for the people and
government of Logan county, as well
as to secure punishment of the guilty,
the results so far have been regarded J
as a great moral triumph "
TREASON TRIAL JUDGE
BECOMES STATE FIGURE
MAY BE ASKED TO BE CANDIDATE
FOR SUPREME COURT
SEAT.
Charley Town, W. Va.?Judge John
Mitchell Woods, who has presided
here In the trials of William Blizzard,
accused of treason against the state
of West Virginia, and James E. Wll
u^uncu ui me niuraer or Deputy
Sheriff John C. Gore of. Logan county,
has attracted wide attention and commendation
for the fairness of his rul
lugs and tho great legal ability and
breadth of view Bhown in his conduct
of tho case. There hus been such fu
vorable comment on his judicial fit
nesa that It la not Improbable that the
Democrats of the eastern panhandle
may present his name this year as a
candidate for tho Democratic nomlna
tlon for the supreme court to fill the
scat of James E. Meredith now hold
ing by appointment.
Probably no more difficult case,
from the legal viewpoint, has been
tried In West Virginia than that of
William Blizzard. It is said of Judge
Woods that he worked many hours
outside of court to Inform himself on
all points of the law of treason and
that IBs researches went beyond those
of the entlro corps of lawyers who
were counsel In the cuse. HIb rulings
were marveled at by the attorneys as
being models of precision, good Eng
llsh and for their lucidity.
111b most notable decision in th<caso
was that In which he defined th>
crime of treason, showed Its limitations
and ruled that tho evidence pre
aented In the state's case had clearly |
established the commission of treason
by tho army of union miners who
mnrched against Logan county for th?
purposo of ovorrldlng the legally
elected anthorlMou ?n,i ?wi_ ?

The Cure for Southern
West Virginia's Troubles
(Editorial In The Logan Banner)
In the treason trials which have
taken place at Charles Town the un
dorlying cause of the disorders which
have for years disturbed the southern
coal-mining reglous has been clearly
disclosed; and the cure has been as
clearly indicated.
At the root of the entire trouble lies
the ignorance of the individual miner
in certain of the districts of the state
with regard to conditions outside the
small community in which he lives
That ignorance lends Itself to exploitation
on the part of the cunning
and selfish leader who seeks his own
aggrandizement and the increased
power of his organization, and such
exploitation leads directly to lawless
ness.
The incidents of the armed march
of 11)21 are similar to those many
other lawless outbreaks in this state.
There is a coterie of union leaders
who have won their places by the gifts
of political cleverness; these leaders
understand the psychology of the ig
uorant and the credulous; they see. in
the non-union Holds of Logan and adjoining
countio.d the possibilities of
greater power and emoluments for
themselves if these fields can be j
unionized. And. as a first move, there t
is the industrious spreading of lngeni- ;
otis l>iit untruthful statements regarding
conditions in theso lields.
It is through appealing to the keen
sympathies of tin- union miners that
their partisanship is aroused. They1
aro made to feel that they must fight
and that thoy are lighting in a righteous
cause. Therefore the non-union
fields are pictured as ruled over by
hateful tyrants who hire pitiless murderers
to do their bidding Stories
based on that idea are told ov>t and
over. The credulous minors living in
secluded glens come to belh ve these
tales; they tonio to fear ; it their
own safety and that of the r women
and children is mennwri >?
. i III SL'
mythical monsters. Then only some
well-chosen and carefully-plnnned inciting
incident '.a uceded to tampedoj
thvm to rash and lawless acta.
Those who know I?gan inty, with
its well-built towns, its g schools.
its prosperous and conti nt<-u people,
can understond how funtast'c and ab
surd are the stories spread by the.
men who covet control of the labor o(
this rich mining field; lint the untaught
union miners over the monoalns
in another valley, less fortunate
n their surroundings, do not understand
these truths and are led astray
by wily agitators. i;
It may ho well that tho crafty plotters
who planned this nuMun ?
nil!>i
' -kod; it will bo well for West Virginia
if they be punished. Hut it is
much more important that the .state
of Vest Virgin a I' am the lesson that
a better educational system is needed ,
it) end, once and for all. the sad pro- ,
cession of disorders which arise from 1
ignorance und credulity In counties
neighboring on Logan.
When men receive their information
from the printed page instead of
from the whispered rumor; when they j1
learn from rending of conditions in
other counties to know the truth so
that they can no longer ho fooled by
the false and malicious assertions of
agitators; when tho isolation of the
mountain hollows 13 broken up by the 1
light of information through the mo- !
dtum of the nowspapors of the Btato; i
Lhon. and then only, will the disorders
of southorn West Virginia be onded
and the law reign in every mountain j'
