Judge Hayden Tells Why
Judge Albert F. Hayden, of the Rox-
bury Municipal Court, whose home at
IL Wayne Street, Roxbury, was wrecked,
issued a statement to-day, in which he
declared that revenge for the sentences
he imposed on Roxbury May Day riot
ers was the motive which prompted
the anarchists to single him out. Judge
Hayden and his family escaped injury
through the fact that they had gone
to their summer home in Plymouth:
Two children of Representative
Powers were cut by flying glass in the
explosion and more than $4,000 worth
of damage caused to his residence.
Representative Powers was singled
out as a victim of the bomb terrorsts
because of his activities on the anti
anarchy bill which he had pressed in
the Legislature.
Governor Coolidge prepared to-day
TO ask the Legislature to enact an
, emergency statute providing for sterner
penalties for bomb outrages. Under
the present ant-anarchy law indivd-
uals convicted are subject to a fine of
$1,000, three years Imprisonment or
both.
Attorney General Attwill said that,
as no life was lost in last nights ex-
plosions, any persons arrested in con-
nection with them would probably be
held on the charge of the destruction
of property. In that case, their maxi
mum sentence, under existing laws,
would be ten years in prison.
Governor Issues Statement
Governor Coolidge issued q state
ment characterizing the bomb outrages
as calculated to injure ultimately the
wage earning class.
Every effort" said the Governor,
"should be made and will be made to
apprehend the perpetrators and bring
them to justice. This is not a crime
against a particular individual, nor is
it what the perpetrators claim, namely,
that this viii effect distinctively those
who own property, and bring about a
new order of things. It is a crime
against the people Of the Common
wealth, and if carried to its logical
conclusion, the first sufferers would be
those of slender means who live by
their daily toll. 1t would stop every
business activity, paralyze all industry
and bring to the verge Of destitution,
as it has done in Russia, every person
without independent means.
The wage earners OF massachusetts,,
know, viii especially support the
authorities in the effort to prevent such
action in the future and to punish
all who are guilty CT the outrages of
last night"
Mayor Peters said he believed that
our present social and industrial con-
ditions must be improved. He Said
there must be q more equitable dis
tribution Of the results of labor, but
our form of government makes it pos
sible to bring about these improved
conditions in an orderly and sane man
ner, and in accordance with the will
Of the majority.
