The proceeding grew out of rioting
and murder in what is known as the
"bloody Fifth ward" located on the
river front and peopled by a mixture
of all nationalities. They had been
brought to the city from New York
the day before the primary election
of September 10 for the purpose. it
was alleged, of intimidating voters
and workers opposed to the faction
favored by Mayor Smith and his po-
litical associates. But the intimida-
ton went too far and one of the
thugs killed q policeman who was de-
Tending n citizen from murderous as
sault. Public indignation was arous-
ed 20 high pitch and has been fur
ther aroused by q succession of sem
sational developments in the court
room where the mayor and his eight
codefendants surrounded by counsel
listened to damaging testimony
brought out by the prosecution.
In holding the defendants Judge
Brown said: 'T agree with James
Gay Gordon, chief prosecuting coun-
sci representing the district attorney.
that Mayor Smith is the chief and
prime malefactor in the murder con-
spiracy and the disgrace which the
country has witnessed"
