Former Counsel Believes Client
Innocent of Murder
CONVICTED II YEARS AGO

Boston-The news OF the release,
on parole. Of Thomas NJ c. Bran.
better known as Mate" Bran, who
was serving life sentence at the At
lanta penitentiary on conviction OF
the murder Of Capt Nash of the Bar
kentine Herbert A. Fuller, II years
ago, has gratifed many men who
have felt that Brams guilt had not
been established by the evidence. The
trials were noted in criminal juris-
prudence, and the second was held
only after the United States supreme
court had found error in the rulings
Of the presiding judge in the first
trial. Bran was defended by James
f. Cotter and Asa p. French the lat
ney.
In speaking OF the case Mr. Cotter
said that both he and Mr.. French hEo
believed in the innocence OF their cli-
ent. They were so convinced by his
demeanor and by the fact that he was
not the only person who had chance
TO do the killing.
II has been pointed out that a Bos-
ton passenger, a Lester II. Monks,
was so convinced OF Bram's inno-
cence that he, with Bran, kept q
watch on one OF the sailors, a Charlie
Brown, also known as julius Wester-
berg, and remained on deck all night
with drawn revolvers lest they should
be attacked.
When the Herbert Fuller reached
port however, the sailor, Brown, de-
clared that he had been a witness to
the killing and that Bran had COM
mitted the deed He said that he had
stood at the wheel in such position
as to enable him TO see Bran XIII
Capt Nash.
There were three victims of the
murder, the captain, ms wife and Sec
ond mate. but Dram was convicted on
only one charge.
Mr.. Cotter said that It was appar-
ent that the others in the ships
company were prejudiced against
Bran because he was a West Indian
and the only one of that nationality
aboard.
Mr.. Cotter further explained thar
for the last two years he had been
forwarding to .Jram and to counsel at
Atlanta, the records and papers con-
sidered necessary in presenting the
case to the department of justice.
DIR. John Dixwell, who has been
close student OF the case, also e1N
pressed satisfaction that Bran had
been released.
Il always have considered Bran In
nocent," he said, for | considered
the evidence against him unreliable.
For instance, Brown, .--- chief Wit
ness, swore 10 what l believe an I'M
possible story when he said that with
out leaving the wheel he saw what
transpired in the captains cabin

Massage 10 Governors From
Commission of Rural Credits
RESULT OF STUDY ABROAD

Colorado Springs. Col.-Farmers Of
the United States speedily must come
TO an understanding OF the value OF
organization and union OF forces in
producing and selling farm crops and in
the financing OF agricultural opera
aions If this country is to keep pace
with the development Of European
nations
This was the message from the
American commission on rural cred
it's, delivered to the conference OF
governors here in report by Senator
Duncan Il. Fletcher OF Florida, chair
man OF the commission. The first gen.
eTal report upon the extensive Euro
pean investigation made by the Amer.
team commission, under joint author
ity OF congress, the governments OF
70 states and the southern commercial
congress, was lai dbefore the govern
ors by Senator Fletcher.
THE commission is deeply i'm
pressed with the vital importance OF
q thoroughly organized and united ru-
raj population said Senator bletch-
er, in an authorized statement from
the commission which he included in
his report.
"In this respect the countries OF Eu-
rope offer lesson which may not
long be disregarded in America with
out serious consequences. The agrlcul'
tural interests OF most European coun-
tries visited by the commission are
organized along one or more Of the
following lines: Credit, production.
distribution and social organization
for the betterment of country life."
Senator Fletcher made 1t clear,
however, that emphatic recommends
tions would be made for system OF
rural banking through which farmers
could secure better loans, and through
which they could finance their own
cooperative producing, buying and
selling organizations.
President Wilson's recent statement
that "a distinct system of banking
must be provided for, if rural credits
are TO be- successfully and adequately
supplied," was referred to by Senator
Fletcher as a promise that federal
legislation will soon be taken up with
a view to relieving the financial han
dicaps under which American farming
is carried on.
The commission on rural credits,
with representatives Of the American
government, 20 states, four Canadian
provinces and several independent
American organizations, went TO Eu'
rope in April a year after the south
ern commercial congress, and David
Lubin of the International Institute
of Agriculture had begun the move
ment for its appointment,
It's members studied the farming
and credit systems of Is principal Eu-
ropean countries, receiving the close
co-operation of the state department
Senator Fletcher in his report to
the governors urged them to under
take earnest cooperation with the
Rural Credits commission, which has
established permanent headquarters
I'm Washington. The first active steps
Of a national character, he indicated
will be toward the establishment OF
An adequate system of rural bank
ing. through which a great scheme OIL
cooperation and country development
can be built up.

Will Win Out

Many of the county papers of
the State are freely predicting
that Hon. John Walter Smith
will win a denomination with
ease. His latest opponent-Mr.
William l.. Marbury-has fall
len flat as "a founder. His rec
cord has been such that very
few Democrats will touch him.
In the past the Sun ridiculed
his Democracy and the News
pictured HIM as a man without
a party. He has been persis-
tent in his opposition to Mr..
Bryan. And it will be re-
membered that Mr.. Bryan is
the Prince of Progressives. 1t
will be remembered that nearly
every one of the so-called pro
gressive principles" that are
now being contended for are the
principles which Mr.. Bryan
stood for in every one of his
campaigns; and it will also be
well remembered. that Mr. Will
liam l.. Marbury opposed Mr..
Bryan and his Progressive plat
forms and upheld the Republi-
can policies of Protection and a
High Tariff. There are others
who did the same, who are now
yelling their heads off for Will
son and a low tariff.
When Mr.. Marbury gets cor
nered on the fact that he has
not supported the candidates of
the Democratic party, he falls
back on the plea that the pri-
maries were not fair. What
about Mr.. Bryan's candidacy.
Mr.. Marbury: What had he to
do with the primaries that you
should work against him and
turn your talents to help elect a
Republican President What
about lsadore Rayner and Will
liam Pinkney Whyte =: Were
they such poor Democrats that
you could not support them
You need not answer. Mr..

Maryland will answer in no un-
certain way.
