TORTURE SUSPECTED
BEFORE MURDERS
Public Sentiment to Revolt
When Facts Are Known,
Claims Coco.
AWAIT MEDICAL REPORT
One Man Held In Jail Believed
to Have Seen SIayers
Without Masks.
BY SAM BLAIR

Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
MER ROUGE, La, Dec. 25.
This tiny town lolled under a tepid
sun today-waiting for the public
hearing that will be conducted
January at Bastrop, the parish
seat, which may develop against
those responsible for the slayings
of Watt Daniels and Thomas
Richards.
WAITING FOR REPORT.
All are waiting the formal an
nouncement at the hearing OF the
reports Of the New Orleans patholo-
gists VINO examined the bodies OF
Daniels and Richards.
In the words today OF Attorney
General Il. V. Coco, when these
reports and our other evidence is
presented, there will be a prodigious
revulsion of sentiment on the part
Of persons who have been tolerant" !"
In spite Of efforts al secrecy
many saw the bodies of the men
before their burial yesterday. Ana
1t did not require pathalogist to
determine the direct action at the
time Of the slayings.
Murder is one thing. Torture
is another.
CHANGE OF VENUE.
That's why Attorney General Coco
said further:
There is an ancient statute in
our Louisiana code which gives
the State a right to change
of venue when it appears an un-
prejudiced jury cannot be drawn.
This statute might be invoked
in this case, but 1 don't believe
it will be necessary. No Amer
ican can listen to the evidence
we've gathered and fail to give
the State just decision.
BROUGHT IN SECRET.
Witnesses against alleged mem
bers Of the mob that kidnapped Dan
iels and Richards have been
brought secretly and at night from
all parts of 76O square miles Of the
Parish to the office set up here by
Department of Justice operatives.
They will be rushed into the ma
chine gun protected courthouse at
Bastrop and held under guard while
they tell their stories.

dent of Mer Rouge. is now being

States witness became known, and
it was at his own request that he

cell behind steel walls.
SAW MEN UNMASKED.
He chanced upon a hooded band
just before the kidnapping of the
men later murdered. He saw the
features of many who had for a
time removed their masks. He
recognized most of those whose
faces he glimpsed.

~WE must aid Europe, or
" risk . new war" says
Senator Borah. What new war?
Who will start it, fight It,
finance it?
How will it affect us, If we
mind our own business, this
time, and stay out Of it?
Is any European going to at
tack US? What worry or basi-
ness is it of ours-much as we
regret it-if European nations
Insist on fighting each other,
after the last lesson?
THIS NATION will not "risk
another war" It will have
nothing to do with another war.
1t will not have Woodrow Will
son for President when that
other war starts. The Kaiser
will not be in a position to noti-
fly US that the seas are closed
against US, and no one else will
repeat that mistake of "All
Highest"
Does Senator Borah imagine
that the people of this country
will let themselves be con-
scripted, and tapped again, by
Europe, to the tune of ten bill
lions? If so, he is mistaken.
