Forced to Sell

Magee came to New Mexico in
1920 from Tulsa, Okla, because Of
his wife's illness. He started his
first paper and his fight at the
same time.
His bankers called in loans when
he exposed a deal in which banks
profited at the States loss. He
was forced to sell his paper. He
bought another paper, and, backed
by the Scripps- Howard organiza.
ton, continued the battle.
Magee. a rangy man with steel
gray eyes, is little worried about
his own fate. When he walked
into court to face Judge Leahy
the last time. he was asked il he
had any reason to offer why
sentence should not be pro-
nounced. he remarked in matter
of-fact tones, without any hint Of
being dramatic:
II deny that I am being ac-
corded due process Of law"
The judge suffered. so surprised
was he at this challenge to him
self. He asked Magee to repeat.
Then he found him guilty on
another count Of contempt. Now
Magee is out on bond, waiting for
the State Supreme Court to re-
view his case.

Magee The Fightinest Editor i'm america,
Stakes His Freedom i'm Fight Against Judge
By NEA Scrrice

By NEA ScrUice
JAS VEGAS, N. NJ, July 25.
Carl c.. Magee is stalking
@ his freedom and his future
on a fight.
He has been sent to Jail and to
the verge of bankruptcy. but he
fights on ne says, to:
Overthrow the political gang
that rules San Miguel County.
Establish the freedom of the
press in New Mexico.
He has earned the title of the
''fightingest editor in America"
He was given this title when he
defied the powers of Judge David
J. Leahy. boss of the Kingdom Of
San Miguel
Ever since Magee started pub
fishing his paper in Albuquerque
he attacked the judge as corrupt.
Once before he was sentenced to
eighteen months at hard labor and
to pay a fine OF $4,000. He was
fore he went to prison.
This did not deter him. He had
declared his war and he fought on.
Defies Court
He was summoned again. Under
this threat, he wrote:
"Leahy's court isn't a court.
1t is a salughter-house for the
blind goddess of Justice.
Abandon hope all We who
enter here could be put over the
entrance with great propriety. I
doubt whether a case, civil or
criminal, has been decided there
on its merits in ten years.
IF the time ever comes that I
can get Leany on an equal foot
ing with me in an honest court,
I'll take him to the worst clean
ing one man ever received. About
once in two weeks l have accused
him of being corrupt judge in
the hope that I could inveigle him
into suing me for libel. Then I'd
have him down on the floor of the
court with some one else on the
bench and a jury in the box"
So he was sentenced to -jai
again.
Even in his cell, writing on a
pad Of copy paper on the bottom
Of a chair. he continued his edi-
torial attack upon Judge Leahy
and his associates.

Sleep OIL Tracks

1--WE went to 81 7 along the
tracks in Brightwood. I told Err
nest to come up on the bank by
me, but he didn't. I ought to have
kept calling him until he came,
then he would not have been
killed. I wish I had made him
get off those tracks.
when he was killed we had
Just one cent between us, but that
didn't make a lot of difference, be-
cause we were getting near home
and felt we could get by some
how or other, by picking up an
odd Job. We made up our minds
that no matter what happened we
would not beg from anyone. 1
never did anything like that and
I never will.
IF I can just get home 1 can
either get my old job back or

Had to Sell Car

"a lot Of the boys were in bad
shape, too. A gang of hold-up
men in automobiles were making
lot of money in the wheatfelds
by driving along and asking some
fellow who had just been paid off
if they could give him a lift. Then
they would beat him and take his
money. We saw a lot Of boys who
had lost their money this way.
"At Wichita we had 70 sell the
car and got only $50 for IT, We
heard there was work in the oil
fields at Tulsa, Okla, and went
there. We found a lot of refin-
cries closed down and oil work
mighty slack. so we decided that,
after all. home was best and start
ed to beat our way back on freight
trains. I wish I never had left
my garage job in Gallon. then
Ernest still would be alive.

Since The Age-H eralds publication

tional committeeman, and probably
would be nominated by President Cool
idge for the Birmingham postmaster

gone forward to United States Senator

Many of these letters, as well as a
stream of kilograms, all containing
criticism of Bass qualifications, al.
ready have reached the senior Ala.
bama senator, according to dispatch
received from The Age Herald's Wash.
,ington bureau.
Action Delayed
Owing to the apparent dissatisfaction
in Birmingham and the determined
stand taken by Senator Underwood in
favor of r. B. Smyer, the incumbent
Washington reports now indicate that
the Presidents nomination of a post
master win be delayed for several
weeks,
According to word from Washington
Senator Underwood does not regard the
criticisms against Mr.. Bass as direct
charges.
The Washington bureau of The Age
Herald summed up the situation as
follows: -
Inquiry at the post office depart
ment brought the information that con-
siderable time would be permitted to
elapse before a nomination is made.

PICTURE AT STRAND
GIVEN HIGH PRAISE
Endorses .Scaramouche" For
Correct Background

High praise of the moving picture
'.Scaramouche." now showing at the
Strand theatre, is voiced by Fred A,
.Culley, superintendent of the, city de-
partment of public welfare. in a letter
to Mrs. Myrtele w. Smell, amusement
inspector. = d.
He comments the picture for its ac.
curate historical background and its
true depletion of social conditions at
the time of the French revolution. The
letter follows: hs,a
II feel that the attention of the pub.
lie should be brought TO the picture
nov showing at the Strand theatre
aScaramouche. = 1t seems to me that
this picture is so true historically and
the social conditions of the French
revolution, are SO wildly brought out
that any student of history should be
interested in it. 1t is so well presented
that anyone, who would be interested
in .high-class production, should Ger.
tataly see this picture.
1T seems To me that when good pic
lures are brought to the city that they
should receive the patronage of all
good people. Il feel that it is one OF
the best means Of censorship to attend
the good and absent ourselves from
those that are not first rate pictures. u

tablish her innocence by admitting that

Roderick Beddow, special prosecutor,
assisting Solicitor j. P. Mccoy, read
several excerpts from her testimony at
the former trial in which, she spoke
freely of shooting young Roberts, but
stated she did so to prevent him from
entering her home. When asked
Wednesday if these statements as read
had been made by her, she admitted
them, but added that they were false.
Denies Using Pistol

used in the murder was shown her, she
said she had not used it and was physi-
cally unable to pull the, trigger, al
though admitting she had stated in the
former trial that she had used it to
shoot Ralph Roberts while, he was in a
fight with her husband over payment
