INDIANAPOLIS. April 1s.-Leaders
~ the nationwide coal strike turned
their attention toward non-union fields
or West Virginia o-day. where their
organization activities were cnjoined
by Federal Judge McClintic. Legal
counsel for the miners met at Charles
ton to perfect an appeal from the de-

direct slap at collective bargaining.
The open shop fields of West Vir-
gina are more menacng to the success
of the strike than any other single
factor IN the situation, it was said
They have been the center of unioniza-
ton work for number of years, cspe-
clally since the strike started April /.
Organizers Still Busy
1t was learned that the union agents

clared at headquarters here.
I'VE have no objection to being en-

Prison Doors Close
On Slayer Today
Ignatz Potz is Taken to Joliet to Start
Serving Life Term for Murder
of William Peterson,

The doors Of the state prison at
Joliet, Illinois, were to close this after
noon on Ignatz Potz, the murderer of
William Peterson, Winthrop Harbor
speed officer shot to death last winter
while in the performance of his duty.
Sheriff Green of Waukegan, planned
to take Potz to the Illinois state prison
today, where he will be confn-
ed with confessed murderers and
those, who have been found guilty of
manslaughter.
"The papers are all ready and there
is no longer any reason for delay" ex-
planned Sheriff Green. 1t is planned
to take Potz by motor to Joliet; he
will be amply guarded to prevent any
attempt at escape.
Potz, who was saved from the gall
lows by the sentiment of the governor,
is thankful that he is saved from
death, but feels that he is still the
victim of his ersecutors-State's At
torney Smith, his assistant, Mr.. Block,
and the detectives who captured the
murderer after his attempt to hide
from the authorities after his crime
sit is hard sentence" said Potz
this morning. 81 did not hurt anybody
and don't see why I should have. to
go to prison"
The man who killed Peterson not
only wants his life spared but believes
he should go free, and the consensus
of opinion is that before ten years
have elapsed, Potz will be free man,
despite the horrible crime of which
he is guilty.

they should be rejected; that the bur-
den Of proof that they were voluntary
rested on the state; that if they found
that the original confession was not
voluntary it was the presumption of
law that the coercion continued. Full
instructions as to the presumption of
innocence and other subjects involved
in the cases were given, and the trial
court evidently sought to give the ac-
cused fair trial.
Nevertheless we do not find in the
entire charge any clause which might
remove the inference to be drawn from
it that the falsity of the confession
was condition to its rejection.
Instruction Was Vital.
In considering whether the instruc-
ton objected to was prejudicial it is
important that there was no evidence
in any manner connecting the defend
ant with the crime except his confess
sions. The vital question in the entire
case was whether they were voluntary.
The charge was in writing and taken
by the jury to their room. It is not
improbable but they may have believed
that the all important question was
whether the confessions were true and
they may have given far too little at
tention to the manner in which they
were secured.
Errors were assigned.as to other por-
lions of the charge; the admission and
rejection of evidence, and the remarks
of counsel for the state in the argu
ment to the jury which it becomes
unnecessary to consider. Nor is it
necessary to discuss the motion for
new trial based in part on the claim
that there was newly discovered evil
dence and that counsel appointed to
assist the district attorney was inter
ested in the result. When the prose
cution rested, defendants counsel
moved that defendant be discharged.
Considerable testimony was afterward
received, and after verdict, there was
a motion for new trial but no re-
moval of the motion to discharge the
defendant.
On the whole record, we are com
PEELED to hold that defendant did not
have fair trial and that the judgment
should be reversed
BY the court-Judgment reversed,
and cause remanded for a new trial.
The warden of the state prison will
deliver the plaintiff in error, Frank
Lang, to the sheriff of Kenosha county,
who is directed to keep the said Lang
in his custody until discharged there
from by due process of law.

VILLAGE RALLIES
TO AID SCHLECHT
Silverlake Certain That
Bill" Schlecht Meant
To Do No Wrong.
ALMOST In MOURNING

Sliverlake never seemed 50 much in
mourning as it has been during the
past week." declared one of the uroni-
nent residents of the village TO-DAY
while he was in Kenosha. EVERYONE
seems to be downhearted. and every
one you meet seems to tell you the
same story: Bill Schlecht never took
any money for himself, and we'll never
believe that he did until it has been
proven without the least shadow of
doubt"
This is the way that Silverlake has
accepted the fact that William G.
Schlecht, for nearly twenty years
cashier of the state bank there. is out
on bonds, charged with violating the
banking laws, as a result of which
there is an alleged shortage of nearly
$4,000 in the funds of the bank.
eff he had wanted to get away, he
had plenty of time," they all say in
Slixerlake, "but he stayed to face it,
and as he sits in his room, bowed down
to the dust, broken-hearted and feels
that he cannot face his friends, we
feel more than ever that he never did
any of these things with an idea of
cheating anyone"
No One Blames Him.
give yet to find the first person in
Silverlake who blames him." continued
this man, who declares that he has
gone out of his way to make a canvass
of the village on the situation. eve
know he may have juggled the funds,
but, knowing him as we do, we can't
believe him wrong"
And if one goes to Silverlake and
sees the constant stream of people
coming and going from the Schlecht
home, not only from Silverlake, but
from other towns of the vicinity, one
becomes convinced that the alleged de-
faulting banker has the sympathies of
his people with him.
"No one in town was more loved or
respected than Bill Schlecht," another
man said "He may have made these
mistakes, but we have not changed; we
can encourage him by going to him and
by standing by him, regardless of what
happens. He would have done that, if
we were in his shoes. That's what we
still think of our bank cashier"
Hearing to Be Soon.
Silverlake was never greatly excited
over the investigation which took place
at the bank resulting in the arrest of
Cashier Schlecht. The bank went on
doing business, and there has been abb
solutely no change in ! the confidence
which the community places in it, The
village is now awaiting the outcome of
the preliminary hearing of Schlecht on
the charges of embezzlement, altera-
ton of bank records and forgery, upon
which he is now out under $4,000 bonds.
1t is declared that practically all of
the shortages have been made UP by
relatives of Schlecht, and that so far
as the bank is concerned, the episode is
practically closed sd
The legal end of the affair is yet to
be cared for, and this will probably
take many weeks.
