FOR FRANK POLCAR
Sheriff Oakman Will Head Dep
utation That VIII Wait On
Governor Ferris

Convinced that the conviction and
imprisonment OF Frank Polgar. serv-
ing sentence of.fron. four to eight
years in Jackson prison. Is a miscar-
riage OF Justice. Sheriff oakman has
decided to enlist the aid OF a few
prominent men OF Detroit. and go with
them TO Gov. Ferris TO plead POL
CARS case. In the hope n getting a
pardon. Polgar was charged with
having attacked i7-yesrold Mary
Molnar.
Miss Molnar, accompanied by her
hsnce. went to Prosecutor Fraser's
once, two weeks ago. and said she
had perJursd herself In testifying
against POLAR In the recorders
court. She said her uncle. Peter Mol
mar, was guilty of the crime for which
Polgar IL now serving time. and that
II was her uncle who made her give
false testimony. BY threatening to
kill her. Molnar was arrested. and
was released on the order OF Frazer.
The prosecutor said Miss Molnar's
statements were conflicting and that
II would be NEXT to impossible to
convict Molnar on the testimony Of
his niece, because she already had
confessed she committed perjury.
Molnar made strenuous denials Of the
young woman's charges.

animation. 81 cannot say; have

question" were among his favortte
replies.
He denied that he has any an.
tipathy to organized labor. His tes-
|timony before the congressional COM
mittee which Investigated the Colo

he said. He believed that men should
be accorded . perfect right ito or
ganise for mutual protection, but az
TO whether corporations should rec
ognize and do business with them he
believed that . matter each corpora
ton should settle for itself.
Rockefeller insisted he knew moth
Ing Of the manner In which agencies
furnished strikebreakers. He said he
did not know that the Colorado Fuel
4 Iron company maintained detectives
In It's plants TO prevent the organisa-
ton Of unions. He also declared he
was against the policy Of q corpora
tion interfering IN politics.
Walsh tried to get Rockefeller to
say whether he should vote to dis
charge an ofacial who interfered with
an election. but the witness parted
the question.
Rockefeller was asked what the
commission could do to aid In pre-.
venting any further unrest in Colo
RADIO.
why, I should not presume to tell
this commission what It was TO d."
ssid Rockefeller. "Your commission
has been named to Investigate and
make recommendation. had hoped
that you would make certain specific
recommendations and II you did, to
try and cooperate with them"
In reply to q question Rockefeller
said he believed minister should
have absolute freedom Of speech.
Walsh then read letter from John
r. welborn, of the Colorado Fuel q
iron company to Starr ]. Murphy, In
which he said the minister at Sunrise,
Wyo., had expressed 'indiscreet senti-
merits" In discussing the Ludlow light
and saying II might be necessary to
change the minister"
what became of this minister"
asked Walsh.
81 don't know" Rockefeller an
swered.
Asked II he considered the letter
proper, Rockefeller said he did.
Replying to Walsh. Rockefeller said
he did not know that In certain coun-
tie, In Colorado no damage suits
against the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany had been tried In 20 years.
w. J. Dalton, No. SGT East One Hun
dred and Fifteenth-st.. Cleveland, o..
had written to the commission, say
ing he had been injured In the Rookie
teller plant and that his letters to
Rockefeller appealing for aid were
never answered. When Walsh asked
Rockefeller about the case the wit
ness said he knew nothing OF the
case.
Rockefeller declared the Colorado
corporation employed probably $4,000
men. When asked II he couldn't or.
gapixe q department to see how HE
employees lived away from the plant
as Henry Ford had testified he did.
Rockefeller said:
"You must remember that Mr.. Ford
said he was earning many million
dollars In profits. The Colorado COM
pany has not paid any dividends In 10
or IL years. 80 the comparison IL
rather unfair"
