The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-06-16


and still believes. that in justice to the
officers of shoshone county. a state
ment should be published showing
that they alone were entitled to the
credit for the Embree capture and
conviction. There was no reflection
upon the department Of law enforce
ment and Mr. Jones was specifically
freed from any unworthy motive. The
Miner sees no reason to modify what
it said
A copy OF the statement from Mr.
Jones, which was widely published in
the state press is not available 9TH
erwise it would gladly be published
as he has requested. In anticipation
of this situation, Mr.. Jones enclosed
copy of statement from him on
the same subject published in the
Boise Statesman and requested that it
be published in lieu of the first This
statement is not the same as the first
but the Miner is pleased to comply
with his request:
Robert O. Jones, secretary of state
and commissioner of law enforcement,
reported Thursday the conviction of
A. $. Embree on a charge of criminal
syndicalism at Wallace Embree is
regarded as the most dangerous Am
erican radical today with the excep- /
ton of Bill Haywood, in the opinion of
those who have watched the 1 w. w
movement, according to Mr. Jones
who returned Thursday from north
ern Idaho
"Mr. Jones in discussing the SEN
tence of Embree from one to 10 years
in the state penitentiary and the I. .
w w. movement said:
"T understand that Warden Cuddy
is sending an official to Wallace to
bring A. 5. Embree. recently convict
ed of the crime of criminal syndical-
ism, to the pententary. This viii
bring to close one of the most inn
portant chapters in Idaho's drive
against the J. w WIS.
"1 have Just returned from north
ern Idaho where the trial of Embree
has attracted particular attention
and there is general satisfaction that
a conviction was had in this case. A
number of the members of the l. w
w. organization have been sent to the
in the last Is months, but
no one has been convicted who is so
high in the cOunsels of this organiza-
ion as Embree.
'Embree at one time missed out by
D small margin of being elected exec
ltive secretary of the national l. w.
w. organization. He is considered by
'ederal officials, and by others who
nave been watching the l. w. w.
movement In this country as being
next to big Bnr Haywood, the most
dangerous American radical. His
.ounsel and advice have been con-
itantly used by the national l. w. w
,mcers.
"'The case at Wallace was stub
lornly fought One of the most e
prominent l. w w. attorneys appear
d for the defense Prosecutor Nc q
1vers was assisted by former Prose 3
.ltor Hull of Wallace and James A.
Wayne Idaho has made a great rec y
nd i'm its drive against the /. w. WIS,
nd this case Just closed represents a
otable victory for law and order.
"It is the opinion of many that the >
rip of Haywood to Russia and his j.
onsequent failure to begin the sem d
ence imposed by the federal court e
ogether with the conviction of En- u
rec and other leaders i'm the l. w I'd
" movement means the disintegra- Ct
ion of the T. w. w organization. 81
elieve there is no doubt that the T.
i. W. is weaker now than IL has w
cen for years The DISCRIMINATION. Z"
owever. is only partial Recent de- l'
have driven the so-called ''
wing out but the radi-
Al part is stin present The real
IDS will now get "redder." There
