True to their word, they did come back, and helped. This time the deputized men walked the Wobblies all the. Chehalis, where the police there met them and escorted them out of Chehalis. The passage of time did not serve to endear the Wobblies to the people of small, conservative. Centralia. This was generally viewed as unpatriotic, if. Centralia didn't want these unpatriotic radicals in their town. In 1. 91. 7 the I. W. W. Halls were imperative. I. W. W. Unlike other unions, their membership was largely homeless, so the. However, once the landlord of the. Centralia hall discovered. I. W. W., they were evicted. Rather than give up, the I. W. W. They were convinced that Centralia, in the middle of. A year later, the hall was raided in the middle of a parade to support the Red Cross. Several. marchers left the parade, stormed the hall, led the Wobblies into the street, and proceeded to. The Wobblies were taken out of town, and similar to the events preceding the. Everett Massacre, forced to run a gauntlet between.

Local lawyer Elmer Smith, sympathetic to the. Wobbly cause, suggested going public about their fears of being raided in an attempt to gain.

This is the position you should be in if you’ve drawn your gun and intend to search your home or business for a possible intruder. The gun should be held in a. The M1919 Browning is a.30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century, especially during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The M2 machine gun is “an incredible story of longevity,” said retired U.S. Coast Guard Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate Maurice Poulin, who operated the gun. Centralia. It soon became commonly expected that the raid would take place during the November 1. Armistice Day parade, presumably hoping to mimic the success of the raid during the Red Cross parade . This parade was. to be a very patriotic event, with all marchers in uniform, and flags encouraged. The rumors of. an Armistice Day raid seemed so likely that the owner of the building that now housed the I. W. W. Elmer Smith advised that it would be legal for the Wobblies to defend themselves, if. The Wobblies then held a meeting, and decided to secretly arm themselves with. They even went so far as to decide in advance to place armed men in two or three different. Seven men were to remain in the. During the parade, not unexpectedly, the Centralia Legionnaires slowed to leave a gap between. Chehalis group ahead of them. The Centralia group stopped in front of the I. W. W. Much to their surprise, they were met by gunfire. There is little doubt, from. Dr. Frank Bickford who admitted leading the raid, that. Legionnaires initiated the conflict. It is less clear who fired first, but it seems likely. Wobblies fired first. In any event, shots soon came from all vantage points. Warren. Grimm and Arthur Mc. Elfresh of the Legionnaires were killed in this initial confusion of shots. It. is unclear, of the men posted at other stations, who or how many fired upon the raiding. Legionnaires. As the Legionnaires entered the hall, four Wobblies hid in the back, and three exited out the. Everest, still armed, was one who fled out the back and killed Ben Casagrande during his. Everest ran until he got to the Skookumchuck River. Trapped there, he faced his pursuers. Nonetheless. Hubbard leveled it at Everest, and demanded his surrender. Instead of surrendering, Everest shot. Hubbard and seriously wounded John Watt. Everest now had to reload his weapon, and was. Legionnaires while attempting to reload. He did not cooperate with. Rumors quickly spread that he was actually I. W. W. Mike Sheehan, Ray. Becker, Bert Faulkner and John Mc. Inerney had hidden in a cold storage locker, and surrendered. John Lamb, Dewey Lamb, and O. C. Bland were captured later the same. Lamb home. When the still- anonymous Everest was marched back into town, a group of citizens tried to lynch. Everest was taken to join the others in. Four men had been killed, and. John Watt, was in serious condition, although he would ultimately survive. That evening. someone pulled a switch at the power distribution site, and all the lights in the city went out. He was driven to a bridge over the Chehalis River, mutilated, hung, shot. Although it is without a doubt that Everest was the one who killed. Legionnaires, he was still anonymous at the time of the lynching. It is generally. suspected that he was lynched because of the rumor that he was leader Britt Smith. In reality. Smith remained safely in jail. Neither city undertaker would take Everest's body, so it was. In the. search for Wobblies, two groups of vigilantes, each unaware of the other group, converged on an.

George Vanderveer took the case over from. Pierce at this point. The trial was held in Montesano, since it was quickly agreed that a fair trial could not be. Centralia. Vanderveer did not believe a fair trial could occur in Montesano either. Olympia was denied by Judge John M. Vanderveer's. attempt to have the men tried separately, rather than together, was also denied, as was. Vanderveer's appeal of these decisions. Nor did the judge allow Vanderveer to discuss any of the. Wobblies in Centralia previous to this massacre day. The trial, held in 1. Montesano. Thirty- four.
