aspects OF the present organization Of

Wonders II Justice Hits On Al
Cylinders And Can Make
Grade"

Redwood City. Callfl Auns. co.-Pub-
lie and press have upset the theory
that a man is innocent until he is
proven guilty and 1t now rests with the
accused to prove his innocence. VIII
liam A. Hightower. accused of the
murder of Rev Patrick f. Heslin
Colma Catholic priest. said today In a
statement to the press. Tho state
ment was issued from the san Mateo
county Jail hero thru District Attorney
Franklin Swart. Hightower continued
AN accused man might also be
pardoned for asking II justice is hit
ting on all its cylinders when he Ia
confined to one little cell, where he is
not only unable to do anything for
himself. but is also unable to find out
what others arc trying to do to him.
while any one seeking to undermine
his interests can have as wide range
OF action as q German howitzer.
"Unfriendlv interests were ncver
known to have union hours or to be
ever fair in their methods.
Il Just wonder II the good dame
with the band cd eyes can always
make the grade when tho accused man

which he never had experience, is com
PEELED TO match his confused, unframed
mind against the keenest minds of a
great city.
Under the conditions with the icy
hand Of fear resting on his heart,
should he take counsel Of folly and like
scared rabbit run in the wrong di-
rection and make inconsistent state
ments. would such statements neces.
ssrily be conclusive proof OF his
guilt"
Hightower reiterated past declara
tions that he would be willing to be
tried by a jury Of Catholic priests with
tho one condition that no ono on the
Jury be less than forty years old The
oarnostnoss of purpose and calmness of
Judgment of priests Of this age,
would easily overcome their prejudice
against me" he said.
Tho one pleasant thought In connec-
ton with this unpleasant affair" he
said, "is the part that | played in get

statement issued to-day said
All industries reported decreased en-
ployment except those engaged in the
manufacture of food products, textiles,
leather. liquors and beverages, stone,

Detailed examination of the present
returns indicates clearly the funda-
