Sheriff Hepburn Maintains
Silence on Prosecutions
Next Move
DEFENSE IS CONFIDENT
BIZ a stor Correspondent

NJ Ola, Pa, Oct. 8.
Russian politics will figure in the habeas
corpus hearing before Judge johnson In
Common Pleas Court OF Delaware County
Monday morning to determine whether or
no, the two Russians held in the county jail
Tor murder in connection with the Eddy
stone munitions plant disaster shall be re-
leased.
Ernest l., Green, attorney for Nicholas
Iclekner and Mitchell Lagoda, the two men
accused declared today that the Common
ureaith will be unable to make "A prma
facIe case against the two accused men.
tTa 1vont farther and asserted that Klekner
,nd IaRoda so far from being desirouS of
destructlon of the Eddystone plant, we're
eager for its continued operation, because
thew were heart and soul with the new
Russian Government, headed by Kercnsky,
which was operating the factory.
Meantime Sheriff Hepburn. who filed the
complaints against the two, keeps silence as
10 tho evidence that will be offered Monday.
Sheriff Hepburn today declared he would
have nothing more 20 say about the case
until V A. Hajek. an agent of the Depart
ment of Justice attached TO the Office of
Chief Agent Garbarino, of Philadelphia, had
cone over a mass of'correspondence I'm Rus
sian. which was seized i'm several rooms
near Thlrty-third and Chestnut streets,
formerly occupied by Illekner, Lagoda and
Vincent Javoish. Javoish is being held In
the iail here on n charge OF larceny, II Is
admitted that this charge was preferred
merely TO hold him.
Mr.. Garbarino's statement beittling the
whole case was sharply answered by Sher-
in Hepburn today. When told that Mr..
Carbarino said mountain was being made
of a molehill, the Sheriff said:
I'VE will see when the evidence Is
presented whether a mountain Is belne
made out of a molehill or not. Regardless
of what Mr.. Garbarino says his assistant,
MIR. Hajek, Is working on the case and 1t
was on information from IIajet that 1 filed
the complaints"
Mr.. Green, attorney for the three ac-
cused said:
These men are not ]. W. W. men, as has
been charged. They are emphatically not
of that type. They are not radicals in the
common sense of the word. They are not
ignorant men. These men, II in Russia to-
day, would be holding responsible positions,
for they arc heart and soul with the new
Russian Government why should they
want to destroy tho Eddystone plant? one
can conceive tho possibility of their want
ing to destroy 1t when Russia was under
tho old autocratic Government but the
new Government was just what they want
ed They are wholly in sympathy with it"

TORS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL--FEARS
 BEING POISONED

Herman Fors, who was brought to town yesterday from Mile 9 on sus- picion of insanity, is now in the Sew ard hospital receiving treatment.
 Fors was formerly employed at La touche, and left there because he im- agined that attempts were being made to poison him. The same attempt was made on him yesterday at breakfast, according to his story, when an un- known hand put poison in his mush.
 Fors' troubles are due to state of mental confusion but whether or not this is brought on by some form of physical illness has not been definitely determined.
 He is under close surveillance, how ever and will be until the real nature and reason for his malady is known.

SEWARD MINUTE MEN WILL MEET
 NEXT SUNDAY

A meeting of the Public Safety and Defense committee was held last night and matters relating to the formation of the local military unit considered. It was decided to have all who have signed the roll for local military service to meet at the A. B hall Sunday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock principally for the purpose of organiz ing. It is possible, also, that fev minutes will be given to preliminary instruction.
 The committee wired this morning to Governor Strong, and to the secre- taly of the war department for arms and ammunition, with which to out fit the local unit, and also for the ap- pointment of an instructor It is thought probable that in the naming of an instructor some local man will be selected, as there are several who have seen considerable active army service and are fully qualified for the position.
