All of these men, with the exception of J. H. Beyer, were heavily
handcuffed and secretly transferred to Everett, forty-one being taken in
the first contingent and the balance later.

Meanwhile the I. W. W. branches in Seattle had communicated with the
General Headquarters of the organization and steps had been taken to
secure legal aid. Attempts to enlist the services of Frank P. Walsh,
former chairman of the Industrial Relations Commission, were
unsuccessful. For various reasons other well known attorneys refused to
ally themselves with the defense.

Attorney Fred H. Moore of Los Angeles, responding to the call from
Seattle, reached Seattle just one week after the tragedy, on Sunday,
November, 12th. Moore acted as chief counsel for the defense. He had
first come into prominence thru his connection with the great free
speech fight waged in Spokane, Wash., during the fall of 1909 and the
spring of 1910. During that fight he handled the legal end of the cases
of many hundreds of free speech fighters whose arrests ran into the
thousands. He was also connected with various other cases in connection
with the Industrial Workers of the World, notably that of Jack Whyte and
others arrested in the contest for free speech in San Diego, Cal. and
the famous Ettor-Giovannitti case that developed from the great strike
of textile workers in Lawrence, Mass., in 1912. His sympathy with the
workers and his understanding of the class struggle made him invaluable
to the defense.

Of equal importance was attorney George F. Vanderveer, who was called
into the case a little later than Moore. Vanderveer was formerly the
prosecuting attorney for King county, in which position he won a
reputation for clever and merciless cross-examination. One of Seattle's
most prominent and brilliant lawyers, his wide acquaintance with all
classes of people and his comprehensive knowledge of conditions in King
and Snohomish counties, coupled with his keen satire and compelling
logic, gave a force to the case that cannot be underestimated.

Attorney E. C. Dailey of Everett, Caroline A. Lowe of Kansas City, Mo.,
and Harry Sigmond and J. L. Finch, both of Seattle, completed the list
of counsel for the defense.
