First Edition. Octavo. Staple-bound pamphlet; 32pp. Mild external wear, with a bit of sunning at bound edge; internally clean, tight and unmarked. Very Good or better overall.

Wells, chair of the local Socialist Party and Editor of the local weekly Socialist Voice, was a first-hand participant in the events. The play uses direct extracts from the subsequent newspaper coverage and court proceedings, lampooning many of the individuals involved using thinly-disguised pseudonyms, including Publisher of the Seattle Times Alden Blethen, here presented as "Col. A.J. Blather" of the "Seattle Crimes." Ongoing tension following the episode resulted in cancellation of the play's one scheduled performance, at the Moore Theater near the Pike Place Market.
