"Did you hit any others?" inquired Vanderveer.
"No, not then."
"Why not?"
"They probably seen what happened to the captain and the other fellow for getting gay."
As to the holding of Mitten in jail for a number of days on a charge of resisting an officer, and his final release, McRae was asked:
"Why didn't you try him on that charge?"
"Because when we let the I. W. W.'s go they insisted on him going, too, and I said, 'all right, take him along.'"
"You did whatever the I. W. W.'s wanted in that?"
"Well, I was glad to get rid of them," remarked the sheriff.
