Trials of nine I.W.W. agitators are to begin before Justine Moorhouse in Tarrytown this morning. The prisoners are to be tried separately, and the building will be guarded heavily by the police.
Becky Edelson will leave the workhouse this morning and be taken to Tarrytown to appear as a witness and a defendant in the trials. She was subpoenaed yesterday.
All the other defendants will assemble at the Ferrer School in East 107th Street at 7:30 A.M. With their followers, they will take trolley cars to Hastings to Tarrytown by a New York Central train.
Miss Edelson's aged mother, Mrs. Lena Edelson, sat in the office of Assistant District Attorney Ellison, yesterday, weeping about her and denouncing Alexander Berkman and other anarchists. She cried out that the District Attorney ought to do something "to stop the hunger-striking foolishness." Mrs. Edelson lives with friends at 2,704 West Third Street, Brighton Beach.
Dr. Katharine B. Davis, Commissioner of Correction, said Becky Edelson's physical condition remained excellent, and that no forcible feeding would be attempted for some time. the young woman refused all meals offered to her, but early in the morning she took the whites of two eggs.
