The socialists last night invited
four deputies to attend a ma.«»
meeting at 2«12 Westlake ar., at
which they discussed phns to con
tlnue the campaign against the
Judge
The deputies were told they
would be introduced to some of th»
men and women for whom they
held warrants.
Deputies Are Introduced
After the meeting Millard Price,
who preflded, called upon those fop
whom there were warrants and who
wanted to go to Jail to come up and
meet the deputies, who were offi
cially Intn-duced.
Vm "g t!>e first to sttp up wer#
Mr. :;nd Mrs. William McNally.
I-.ach had a child in their arms.
"We are ready." they said.
Hoth had signed the letter of d«-
fiance #f the Judge.
The deputies, takm aback by
this unusual spectacle, held a brief
caucus and decided not to arrest
them.
It Isn't In Hit Line
.Arresting a whole family. babies
and all. one of the deputies said,
waa not In his line Mr McNall.v •
fuller a:;< 1 mother. It later dev'el.
oped, also signed the pledge. Mc-
Nally, Sr.. is a veteran of the civil
war.
As the deputies Were unacquaint
ed with those whom they came to
arrest. Price nskrd the crowd to
fall In line behint| the deputies and
follow tluni to jail. The crowd did
with n will.
Five hundred socialists followed
the doputies through the streets In
a quiet, orderly m iner, arriving at
the jail about 11 o'clock.
Deputies Embarrassed
There the deputies wrre puzzled.
They had no idea how many in the
crowd they held warrants for. So,
climbing on the courthouse steps,
Deputy James Sullivan addressed
th? audience:
Come on in, all of you that ara
coming in, and those of you that
aren't stay outside."
Eleven answered the Invitation
to come In. The rest remained out
side to sing a parody of the
scliaise and to adjourn.
At the meeting last night It was
decided that If found guilty of con
tempt the socialists should remain
in jail rather than pay fines.
A new list of 180 pledged to makes
a Joke of Judge Humphries waa
sent to him today.
OPEN FORUM TOMORROW
The open forum will meet at City
Hall park Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock. I-OKned-off lands and the
