PACIN MURDER IS
REHASHED IN COURT
Supreme Court Hears Appeal of Lang
for Freedom on Claims OF
Errors in Trial Here.
LBy snecial corresnondentl


Madison, Wis.-Appeal to the su-
preme court of Wisconsin for his free
dom on the basis of error in his trial,
was made today by Frank Lang, Keno
sha man, serving a term of twenty-five
years in the state prison at Waupun
following his being convicted on
charges of Staying Charles Pacini,
wealthy Kenosha theatre owner, on the
night of the 14th Of August, 1920.
The entire story of the Staying of
Pacini and the later confession of Lang
and his reputation of the confession
was laid before the court. The attor-
neys for the defendant, Albert E. Buck
master, Walter w, Hammond and Rob-
ert Verne Baker, all of Kenosha, con-
tended that the confession of Lang had
been forced from him by fourth de-
gree" methods of Kenosha police Of
ficers. They told the court that Lang
had made the confession to escape
further punishment on the part of the
police officers. They asserted that later
the confession had been repudiated
by Lang but had been admitted by
the court as evidence. They held
that the confession must be held as
an involuntary confession.
No New Evidence Presented
No new evidence was presented to
the court by the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT Lang, the argument for his
release being based entirely on the
alleged error of the court in admitting
the confession as evidence.
The state was represented by AS
sistant Attorney General J. 0. Messer-
schmidt of Madison, and Attorney Cal
vim Stewart of Kenosha. The district
attorney of Kenosha county did not ap-
pear in the court room during the ar
gument of the case. Attorney General
Messerschmidt in arguing the case,
declared that Lang had repeatedly re-
quested that he be allowed to plead
guilty to the murder charge in both
the municipal and circuit courts Of Ke-
nosha county. He declared that on
other occasions Lang had confessed his
guilt as the slayer of Pacini.
While the court gave no intimation,
as to what view it would take of the
appeal it was said that the decision
would probably be handed down at the
next sitting of the court.

ANOTHER CUT SEEN
FOR R. R. WORKERS
Clerks, Signal Men, Firemen, Oilers,
But Not Telegraphers, to Be Hit
in Third Big Wage Cut.
az Ass0ciated Press Leased wire.l

@ASSSNAs~HNNA ~-N~1S~A
Chicago Railway telegraphers will
not be included in, the third wage re-
duction order of the railroad labor
board, according to rumors today Of
the new contemplated slash from rail-
road payrolls. New wage cuts to fol-
low the $11O,O00,O00 already topped off
the pay checks of 100000 maintenance
of-way employees and 100000 shopmen,
will affect $4,000 railroad clerks, sig
nal men, stationary firemen, oilers and
marine department. employees, accord
ing to reports. Chief among the
groups are 100000 clerks, $4,000 men
in the signal departments, and 10000
freight handlers and truckers.
Although board members made no
direct statement regarding the next
cut, rumors were persistent in predict
ing smaller reduction for the clerical
forces than those affecting the shop
men. The reason for this was said to
lie in the fact that the clerks did not
receive increases proportionately as
great as other groups Of employees
when the wage scale was going up.
Delegates of Chicago and Northwest
ern local board No. II, representing all
crafts, issued declaration that rail
road executives are all wrong in say
ing that employees have adjusted
themselves to wage cuts. Their state
ment said:
"Any action taken by the railway
department. resisting the announced
cut will be backed up by the employ
ees. Without doubt this is the senti-
ment that prevails among the crafts in
general on all roads. AS to the state
ment of railway officials that homes
and surroundings of railroad employees
were better than any other class of
workingmen, if this be true, we have
got to hand it to such employees and
their families to do this under condi-
tions accorded by the roads in the last
two years. This last year, on this
road, the Chicago & Northwestern, the
average time was 80 hours per week.
Mechanics wages at this time are 70
and II cents per hour. Can anybody
live on. these wages and raise a
family?"

many of the families were still heavily

that thirteen cases of tuberculosis had

that undernourishment = had existed
