ReconciIed With Girl After Jury
Ignores Impassioned Plea
of Prosecution.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct "a
The Rev. Edwin R. Stephenson
was found not guilty by a jury
here last night Of the charge OF
second-degree murder growing out
of the killing of Father James E.
Coyle, Catholic priest, on August
IL. The jury was out for hours.
Daughter Reconciled.
Before the verdict was rendered
the Rev. Mr.. Stephenson and his
daughter, who had been married to
Pedro Gussman, a native OF Porto
Rico, by the priest. became reconciied.
She entered the courtroom yesterday
with Mrs. f. J. Pratt, OF Loretta
Tenn, with whom she has been VISIT
Ing since leaving ner husband.
The entire day was taken up with
arguments by State and defense at
torneys, and the case went to the jury
at six o'clock last night.
Judge w. e. Forts charge to the
Jury began at 4.45 o'clock and was
not completed until six o'clock. The
Jury was then handed the indictment
of the grand jury against Stephenson,
the pistol with which he is alleged
to have shot the priest, and pair
of suspenders he wore at the time
of the shooting, which had been
offered as evidence by the defense.
Reviews Admissions.
Solicitor Joseph r. Tate argued
that at eighteen, Ruth Gussman'
Stephenson's daughter, was OF the
age of accountability and therefore
had a right to choose her religion
for herself Mr.. Tate said that all
that was necessary for the State TO
prove was the death, that 1t hap
pened in jefferson county, show the
means of the killing and that the
shooting occurred before the grand
jury had indicted the accused. Mr..
Tate insisted there was no religious
question raised by the trial.
Laying aside the evidence or all
other witnesses except the defendant
himself, DR.. Mason, and Charlie
Mandy. we have enough evidence to
convict the defendant" the collector
said. "The defendant admits that he
IOlu lnt utdh hOe W -
like a dirty dog. He told Mr.. Mandy
further that he called the priest a
dirty dog and therefore was not free
from fault in bringing on quarrel.
Told to Ignore Public.
"If you go into the fury room, kick
out the evidence, and render a ver-
dict of not guilty, you will have all
the narrow minded, fuzzy.necked peo-
pie come and pat you on the back,
but the remainder Of your lives you
will have your conscience to prick
and sting you"
Judge Hugo Black, for the dfeense,
told the jurors that they should not
be Interested in the "eyes Of the
world" to which the State attorneys
had referred as being interested in
the outcome of the trial.
"I admit that there are certain
localities where verdict OF guilty
from this jury would be looked upon
with favor" said Judge Black, but
these eyes have nothing to do with
the evidence in the case"
Mr.. Black pointed out that the
burden OF proof In the case rested
on the State and that the defendant
was assumed to be innocent until
proved beyond all reasonable doubt
guilty.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The status
quo" of the railway labor situation
was in the spotlight today.
Keen interest was being taken
here in whether the railroads and
the union leaders would comply
strictly with the orders of the
United States Railway Labor Board
to maintain strike affairs in their
present status or would flout the
authority of the board and proceed
with strike plans.
Order Forbids Strike.
The order of the board yesterday
which cited both the rail chiefs and
the union leaders to appear next
Wednesday for hearing on whether
the recent wage cut decision OF the
board is being violated through the
calling of a strike virtually forbade
the strike. 1t likewise is tantamount
to an order that no farther plans for
the strike, scheduled for October 80.
shall be formulated. II directs both
tain the status quo
One OF the developments that was
being watched with greatest inter-
est was the strike scheduled to take
place today on the International and
Great Northern. Texas road, where
six hundred trainmen have an
nounced they will walk out. The
walkout will be technical defiance of
the Labor Boards order.
IL was reported that the Texas
trainmen were determined to go out,
regardless of the action taken by the
Labor Board. There was a disposi-
ton In official circles, however, to
take a tolerent view of the situation
and to regard the Texas walkout
if 1t occurs, as the sporadic outcome
OF the strike propaganda that has
brought about the present situation.
Believed First Test.
In some circles, however, the Texas
strike was regarded as the first
test OF the authority OF the Labor
Board and as an indication Of a grow
ing belief that even the officials OF
the unions will not be able to hold
their men I'm check Strike votes
taken by the various unions have
been so overwhelmingly in favor of a
strike that the opinion frequently has
been expressed by union leaders that
the men, in many sections, will walk
out in outlaw strikes, even II an
agreement should be reached that
would postpone the authorized walk
out set for October 80.
Executives of the railroads have an
nounced that they will drop all plans
combating the strike and await the
outcome of the conference here next
Wednesday. The meeting Of the West
ern railroad executives here yesterday
voted compliance with the boards
order
Heads OF the brotherhoods also. &C.
cording TO reports from Cleveland,
have declared they will comply with
the citation OF the board, but there
were reports in railroad circles that
the brotherhood chiefs did not intend
to halt completely the strike plans
which they have been formulating
since the failure OF their conference
with the Labor Board here Thursday
TO avert the strike.
Tho only indication OF defiance on
the part Of the railroads was seen IN
the action Of the fremont and Gulf
railroad, a ss-mile logging hnantn

WOMAN IS
I AIKEN IN
BOMB PLOT,
Paris Police Still Without Clue
on Person Attempting As
sassination of Herrick.
BY FRANK K. MASON,
international News Service.

PARIS, Oct. 22.-The arrest of
woman Communist in connec-
ton with the bomb outrage at
Wagram Hall last night during
an anti-American mass meeting
has led to important revelations
which may throw light upon the
attempt to assassinate Myron T.
Herrick, tho American anfbassa-
dor, the Petit Parisien stated to-
day.
Documents Found In Home.
Following the woman's arrest her
home was searched and the police
found a number OF important docu-
ments which had been exchanged
between Communist and Anarchist
groups. The police refused to reveal
the contents of the papers.
SO far. however, no arrest has
been made on the direct charge of
attempting to murder the American
diplomat. The police have diligent-
ly combed the haunts of Cemmun-
lists and Anarchists and many well
known reds have been questioned.
Practically all the Communists con-
tend that the bomb outrage at the
was the work of an individual and
not part OF the general European
terrorist plot" to frighten Ameri-
can diplomats into demanding that
their government release the two
Italians i'm Massachusetts, whose con-
victiOn on a murder charge brought
about all the agita Sac
co and Bartolomeo Vanzetu.
Grenade Is Identical.
The hand grenade which was hurled
at a detachment of police at the con-
clusion of the Communist mass-meet-
ing at Wagram Hall was of the
same type that had been sent to
Amba ssador Herrick earlier in the
week, in the opinion of explosives
experts.
A group OF gendarmes was en-
gagged in splitting up the great crowd
into sections when someone in the
mob of 5000, threw the bomb. 1t
was a miracle that many were not
killed. Panic followed. The crowd
scattered with yells of fright and
in the melee many persons were
knocked down and trampled. The
police restored order and Cordons
were Immediately established in all
nearby streets to question all pass
ersby. More than twenty arrests
were made.
