ATTORNEY BROWNS
lETTERA SURPRISE
TO LOCAL FRIENDS
"Plurdering" Intimation Is
Regretted.

The Journal is in receipt of the
following communication regarding
the Rodgers matter:
July /, 1922.
To the Editor of the Journal,
Martinsburg. W. Va.
Dear Sir:
In your issue of Friday evening
you mention what purports to be
and doubtless is a copy of letter
from the Hon. II. A. Brown, United
States Attorney, to DR.. G. P. Nor
ison, bearing on the Rodgers case
| am considerably surprised at
the statement by MIR. Brown that
he proposes to appeal from Judge
Bakers decision. Upon at least
one occasion Mr.. Brown told the
writer that he had informed DR.
Morrison, Mr.. Trump, Mr.. Whitmore
and Mr. Cohen that in his opinion
the case was not one that ought
to go to the grand jury and that
he, Mr.. Brown. was thereupon adj
vised by them that if they or some
of them were not accorded the priv.
elge of presenting the facts in tte
Rodgers case to the grand jury then
in session, they as representing the
American Legion would take it up
with the Department of Justice and
would see that such pressure was
brought to bear on him as would
result in the presentation of tbs
case to later grand Jury; and, Mt.
Brown continued, rather than get
,,,4 l. s,,.t
ment he had consented to the case
being presented. ....,.s.s.s,s .vz,s,rzs.a
I -If Mr. Brown and his assistant.
Mr.. Matthews, had been ia court
last Saturday morning when Judge
Baker rendered his decision | feel
sure they would have been CON
WINGED of tine absolute lack Of merit
in the governments case and would
have agreed with Judge Baker that
the Act of Congress does not and
was not intended by Congress to
condemn the admitted facts in the
Rodgers case. The universal ap
prevail which the lawyers present
accorded the judges decision is the
best proof of its soundness.
1t is regrettable from the stand
point of fairness that Mr.. Brown
uses the language attributed to him
in the concluding sentence of his
letter Judge Baker characterized
Rodgers charge as merely nomi-
nal" Certainly nothing in the Rod
gers case indicates a "plundering
of the benefciaries of an eX-service
man; no disinterested person has
even intimated such thing.
Yours very truly,
c. Y. CAMPBELL

Philadelphia, July /. - The rail

HERRIN TRY TO
SHIELD NURlERERS
Grand Jury To Make Inyesti--
cation.

Herrin, Ills, July IA conspir-
acy Of silence, unparalleled in
American criminal history, exists
today in bloody Williamson coun-
ty."
II is announced that a conspiracy
to shield from punishment every
guilty participant in the dreadful
massacre of nine days ago when
at least a score of despised strike
breakers were slaughtered.
Some local authorities conserva-
lively estimate the number slain at
about forty.
So far, but one puny effort to APP
prehend the guilty is in prospect. A
grand jury investigation which is
to be started at Marion, the coun-
ty seat, after the July term of cir
cult court is to begin on the tenth
of this month. 1t is purely a coun-
ty investigation.
The state Of Illinois has taken no
steps to definitely fix the respons1-
bility for the massacre; neither has
the Federal Government.

ton was Rawls widow. who saw
