by the jury OF tho evidence in the trial
Of the alleged publishers OF the Menace,
weekly newspaper of Aurora, Mo,
charged with misuse of the mails, be-
gan here i'm the United States district
court, early tonight.
A verdict OF not guilty in the case OF
Rev. Theodore c. Walker, one OF the
defendants, was recommended to the
jury In his charge by Judge A. s. Van
Valkenburg, who said that the aged
minister did not appear from the evil
dence submitted as having authority or
established connection with the Menace
Publishing company. Three men in ad-
dition TO Walker were named as de-
PENDANTS, Wilbur F. Phelps, known as
president and business manager Of the
company; Bruce NJ. Phelps, known as
superintendent, and Marvin Brown,
known as managing editor, and all three
were described i'm statements read in
court as principal stockholders OF the
company.
Interest in the case was heightened
because OF the infusion into the trial
of numerous references to religious mat
ters, the charges against the defendants
being based on articles referring to the
Roman Catholic clergy.
