The prosecutions allegations
regarding a plot against the presi-
dent were voiced by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Edward Cunha in
his preliminary statement.
He asserted the alleged plot be-
gan a year ago and he quoted an
editorial printed by The Blast, "
radical paper, edited by Alex
ander Berkman, last March, head
ed Inciting Violence" saying;
But we want to warn the
weathercock in the White House
that it may not prove safe. Sup
preston of the voice Of discon-
tent leads to assassination. Vide
Russia"
Ridicules Official.
In statement commenting on
Cunha's charges, Bourke Cochran
today attacked teh district attor-
ney's office.
THE district attorney has con-
fessed in open court to the most
amazing incompetence | have ever
heard off, said he. "He tells of
conspiracy against the president
of the United States and the gov
eminent, which existed more than
year, and he further admits that
he did nothing to stop it, although
he is sworn officer of the law.
If the district attorney knew of
this conspiracy why is he just
taking action?"
