today in closing the trial of alleged

NJ E. Barnhardt, arguing for the

charged with violating the states
espionage act, said the verdict was
of great Importance to the entire
country. He asked that the men who,
witnesses said, desired the overthrow
of the present system of government
be given the maximum penalty, five
years in Jail and $4,000 fine.
Judge Oscar Hebel refused the de-
fense's request to read into the rec
ord a statement by Secretary of La
Dor Wilson bearing on the communist
labor party. He admitted an opinion
by Federal Judge Anderson, Boston,
that membership in the communist
labor party is not illegal. The state
countered with an opinion by Federal
Judge Farris, ST. Louis, that such
membership is illegal.
