|. SHOUTED, LYNCH HIM. 7
Thomas w. Fisher of Malvern, Pa.
Admits Seditious Talk, But
Insists He's Loyal.

MALVERN. Pa April >
After he had heard himself arraigned
as a man whose citizenship should be
taken away from him and as one whose
conduct was properly the subject OF an
investigation by Federal agents. Thomas
W Fisher. wealthy resident OF Malvern.
last night faced an assemblage Of more
than 800 of his fellow citizens who had
called an Indignation meeting To protest
against remarks which he admitted he had
made in Philadelphia on Thursday He.
AZ that time. announced that he would not
support the third Liberty Loan nor the
war savings campaigns and that he
would work to prevent Others from taking
part in them.
Mr.. Fisher IS affiliated with the So
ciety of Friends. and is a member Of the
firm Of Fisher d Haines, grain dealers
Lynch him. The rope for YOU,
"Sit down. '-Traitorn' Hit him with
a chair" were some Of the cries audible
through the howls that greeted him
as ne arose to explain his utteranc's
which were printed Thursday in a paper
in Philadelphia.
Robert Hutchinson, who presided, said:
Malvern is IN bad position through
Mr. Fisher utterances. The Department
1t is a very grave affair think personally
this man should be punished by losing his
citizenship
Cheers greeted these remarks, and
further cheers punctuated Mr. Hutch
inson's later appeal for the utmost sup
port of both the third Liberty Loan and
the war-savings campaigns.
Malvern Borough Hall was damned
to the doors with men and women when
the meeting was called to order at 3
b clock. Special invitations and posters
had been the advertising matter used to
inform the populace of the little town
of the protest.
1t was while the ovation which fol-
lowed MIR Hutchinson 5 address was IN
progress that Mr. Fisher, who is about
sixty years old, arose and asked per
mission to speak.
When his voice could he heard above
the cat calls and Kisses Mr.. Fisher sand
that the remarks published as having
been made in a speech before the Society
of Friends had not been made there, but
he admitted that they were substantially
the same as uttered by him in an inter
view with the reporter after the meeting
u am against war, he told the hostile
throng, "and can't consclentlously have
my money go to buy bullets to conduct
war
lie said that while in his heart he
favored the Allies and was opposed to the
Germans that, nevertheless, hls con
science would not allow him To buy
Liberty bonds or war savings stamps
~ will give Sl75 TO the u NJ. {. A., he
said, but can give nothing for bullets.
After telling that he had been a resident
Of Malvern for thirty-fve years, although
born in England: that he had two nephews
in the war and that another relative was
engaged in experimental work for the navy
he sat down amid a din Of Kisses and cat
calls and explosives
