Through the death bed confession OF

AS l said, l know nothing whatever
of this case, not even having read the
statements pro and con and | am
therefore not prepared to believe in
advance that the asserted conspiracy
on the part of the employers said to
be involved has any foundation In
fact This can only be determined
after fair trial, to which the accused
are entitled. If, after such trial, the
accused are found guilty, they should
be punished according to law, no mat
