OF KILLING PRIEST,
READY FOR TRIAL
Tragedy Becomes Issue
In Birmingham, Ala,
Elections. y 4,

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Oct. IA
Preparations were completed today
for the trial of the Rev Edwin r.
Stephenson. Methodist minister, who
will next Monday begin his fight for
liberty in the face of an Indictment
charging him with the murder OF
Father James E. Coyle. Catholic
priest.
Stephenson. in the county Jail,
continued his refusal to see news
paper men. His friends, however.
declared today that the accused
minister is confident of acquittal.
Tragedy Factor In Election.
Tho trial, around which centers a
bitter religious controversy. will
begin on the same day as a city
commission election, in which re-
ligious issues have also played a
leading part. This fact, friends OF
Stephenson intimate, may prove IA
vorabIe to him. While candidates in
the coming election. through news
paper advertisements and speeches
openly presented anti-Catholics ar
Euments. Stephenson's supporters, II
was said. was prepared to do the
same thing in the trial and per-
haps TO capitalize whatever bitter
ness the city campaign creates.
Close watch was being kept for
the return to Birmingham Of Mrs
Ruth Stephenson-Gussm daugh-
ter OF the accused minister. whose
marriage to Pedro Gussman. q
Catholic Porto Rican, precipitated
the tragedy This ceremony was
performed by Father Coyle in Au-
gust. A few kours later Stephenson
shot the priest to death on the
porch of st. Iaul's Parish House.,
Rely on Daughter ns Witness.
Mrs. Gussman. who later de-
serted her husband and went to her
home at Loretto, Tenn. wrote let
tiers to local newspapers declaring
she would stand by her faith and
testify against her father. How
ever. no word has come from hel
for several weeks.
state officials still expect that she
viii return in time for the trial
Her testimony is depended on by
them to show that Stephenson was
bitterly anti-Catholic and had made
threats against Father Coyle and
tKc Catholic Church prior to the kill
ing. On these alleged threats thu
State will build its claim that tht
killing was premeditated.

PENROSE PREDICTS
TAX BILL PASSAGE
Ashurst Says Agricultural
Bloc Will Demand Proper
Protection.

Senator Penrose. chairman of the
Finance Committee. believes that a
unanimous. consent agreement for a
vote on the revenue hill can be OBJ
tanned and will result in its passage
within short time.
The situation among the Repub-
licans, he said. is satisfactory. now
that the committee has agreed to
amendments.
1T is my belief" said Penrose,
that we can pass the bill with the
Republican vote without concession
or alignment with the minority,
which. has shown a decidedly parti
san spirit"
Amendments TO the hill other than
those approved by the committee
will have no chance OF passage,
Penrose said.
Senator Ashurst. of Arizona. 4
Democrat. took umbrage at deTisiv"
remarks directed at the agricultural
bloc. and made a rather heated
speech during which he declared 1t
is better to belong to the agricul-
tural bloc than to the blockheads
of the Senate"
The agricultural bloc Is deter
mined. he said, that Wall Street
shall no longer control fiscal legis-
lation. He said the agricultural in
dustry would demand proper pro-
lection in the tariff bill.
Ashurst warned of trouble. with
five million men out Of work. with
the farming and coal Industries de-
pressed. and freight rates in effect
which he said were ruinous
The Senate yesterday voted to re-
peal the tax on parcel post pack

their meeting in the Postofftce
Building. He declared he saw a
revival in the faith of government"
and stated that it was a mistake
for anyone to enter public service
for compensation alone, that ideals
of service must go along with the
work if it is to be successful.
Representative NJ. Clyde Kelley.
of Pennsylvania. emphasized the
fact that the country postmaster
could play a large part in making
the cost of living lower for city
people and in increasing the amount
of money the farmers receive. by
acting as collector for foods which
could be shipped by parcel post.
This would also improve the parcel
traffic for trucks. The flow of par
cells is too largely out from the
city. and the city needs the parcels
from the country, to lower food
costs.
