been employed there during the
winter of 1918-1919. They had not
seen BARLEY or Burke about the

taken by William L. Corson Of Wa

torney Edwin s. Merrill. The pic
lures were offered as State exhibits.
They went the rounds, the jurors be-
ing very much interested in them,
the Judge viewing them and the at
torneys also looking at them. Dur
ing the recess period of the after
noon John Burke also scrutinized
them closely.
Judging by the progress of the
trial the States testimony will
doubtless be all in by Friday. bring

Sheriff Mooers testified on the
stand Wednesday forenoon that
careful search had been made of the
automobile which the State claims
conveyed BARLEY and Burke to the

Burke was shot and BARLEY disap-
peared. The only thing Of suspicion
found about the car was a small red
stain on the wind chield. in the right

which the shooting Of that night was
done. is just as much of mystery.
The shed in which Burke alleges
the 240 cases of bottled Canadian
liquor were stored. was brought into
the trial. Wednesday morning. when
a plan. drawn by Henry Crowell. sur
veyor, was presented as States ex-
hIbit. Very little reference has thus
far been made of the place where the
liquor was stored. Mr.. Crowell took
the stand and explained the draw

gall asked that he be given some
time in which to look over the chart
and get an insight of the newest bit
OF evidence offered by the State.
He stated he was not aware that the
plan was to be brought into the case
at that time.

Stray Shots

0VSAS
Skowhegan, Me, Nov. 10--Heark-
ening back to the old days when
court was held in CQburn hall and
before the late Judge Virgin, now a
member of Somerset's legal hall OF
fame, trials were replete with comb
cal situations. An old timer recalls
with delight the occasion when a
man, very deaf. was called to the
witness stand. 1t took the entire
lung capacity of the attorney to get
4 his questions over to the witness.
| The answers were not always con-
sistent with the queries and that
caused some very amusing situa-
tons. But the climax was capped
when the good wife of the deaf wit
ness, seated in the rear of the hall,
spoke UP and addressed the lawyer
thusly. You'll have to speak louder.
He's real hard of hearing"
An automobile going on the wrong
side of the road, Tuesday noon, Gre
ated some excitement among the
members of the jury as they were
about to cross the street at the juno
ton of Court and Water streets. An
eagle eyed deputy halted the driver
and made him go back and go around
the silent policeman in the proper
manner. The deputy was equal to
the occasion when he righted the
driver and proceeded to hustle the
| jurors along their way to dinner.
The endeavor of the county attor-
ney to keep out witnesses from the
court room except when they are on
the stand causes him to keep a sharp
eye out. Tuesday afternoon the
county attorney requested that those
witnesses if any in the court room.

or four men got up and went out.
The endeavors of the county Off
| Gals also include the keeping of the
| witnesses ready to be called in the

delay has been experienced due to
the absence of witnesses when sum-
moned to the stand. The deputies
down stairs in the court house have
/ been instructed to keep a watch on
| the witnesses and see that they do
not leave the building.

CALLS SOCIALISTS
UNJUSTLY TREATED
Representative Dallinger De-
nounceS Action of the New
York Assembly.
Especial Despatch to the HeraldJ

WASHINGTON. D. c., Saturday.-r'Un-
called for" "unjustifiable," 'high-hand-
ed arbitrary" .'unwise' and i'm
proper" are terms used today by Repre-
sentative Dallinger, Republican. Of Massa-
chusetts, in statement denouncng the
action of the New York Assembly in re-
fusing TO seat five Socialist members. Mr.
mittee which recommended the exclusion
from the House of Victor Berger of Wis
consn. and drafted both resolution in
which Mr.. Berger was denied his seat.
This action will bring the public to a
just realization of the dangers ahead il
the brakes are not applied" said Mr.
Dallinger. That these five regularly
elected Assemblymen should be denied
their seats, even pending hearing, be-
cause OF the simple fact that they are
Socialists is O most highhanded proceed
ing"
Mr.. Dallinger challenged American his
tory to furnish a precedent for the action
and said that "it is a Fundamental prin-
ciple of our law that man can be tried
and found guilty only for an overt act,
but that lin this period of hysteria five
men are stopped and asked, What do YOU
believer
I'm my opinion he continued, such
an exercise of arbitrary power by a egis-
lative body is as unwisc as it is improper,
If it can be shown hat these Socialists
were guilty of having given aid and COM
fort to the enemy. az did their chief,
Victor Berger, justification would exist
for the exclusion from the New York
Assembly But they have been charged
with no such offense. and are merely af-
frmed to be members of the Socialist
party and to have subscribed TO the
Socialist platform"
Mr.. Dallinger admitted that the New
York Assembly has the same power that
Is given the House Of Representatives
to reject a member. for having red hair
aor stttering." but added. unfortunately,
heretofore there has been no abuse Of this
power"
II notice that the Speaker OF the New
York Assembly is quoted as citing the
case OF Brigham y. Roberts of Congress
as a precedent for ;he action taken, "
continued MIR. Dalnger Let me say that
Roberts was excluded from the House OF
Represen tatives Of the United States for
the commission OF an overt act is a felony,
namely, po.ygamy. IL will be remembered
that Roberts as & Norman, had morc
than one wife. But Il was not because
of his religious or economic beliefs that
he was excluded. but because he Lad
violated federal lsw prohibiting poly
gamous marriages and was therefore con-
sidered by the House OF Representative
as unfit for membership in that body.

using the resources of the State for one
sided propaganda.
1T would have been just as proper for
us to ask that the State send out HILL
quits or Stedmans speech as 1t is for the
Speaker to send out Littletons speech
The speech at best contains wild sugges-
tions and a general promise Of evidence
to be adduced but which has not been fur
nished. 1t is evidently the intention of the
Speaker to establish pre-judgment in the
case.

fair play and the proper conduct of the
case, repudiate Speaker Sweets action

OF either accuser or defendant would war
rant punishment for contempt by the com.
mittee."
The announcement OF Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer that the Socialist party
is not on his list of dangerous organiza-
tions is considered by the Socialists as a
deathblow to the contention OF the Ju-
dietary Committee that the five ousted
men were servants of an invisible en-
pire." Persons high In Socialist circles as

ceived from Lester y. Barlow, chairman
