SUPREME BODY
HOLDS AGAINST
GEO. SHIELDS
Interference and Attack on
Klan Parade Was Not
Justified.

MADISON.-Convi of George
Shields, former night Waterman at
Boscobel, on charge of assault in
connection with Ku Klux Khan par
ade last August, was upheld by the
preme court Monday.
The court held there was sufficient
evidence to take the question whether
Shields was guilty of assault to the
jury and that it's verdict cannot be
disturbed. Speaking of the khan, the
court said:
"CitiZens Control Selves
"It cannot be doubted that the pub
lie demonstration of this order excite
resentment on the part of those class
es of our citizens whose Americanism
the principles of the order condemn.
But experience in our state does not
indicate that such resentment, justly
entertained, prompts reprisal by acts
of violence or leads to a tumultuous
breach of the peace. This fact testi-
fies most creditably to the poise and
self restraint of our citizens who are
under Ku Klux Khan prescription"
Shields has been at liberty under
bond while his appeal from a sentence
to a six months Jail term was pending
in the state supreme court. He was
convicted of charge of assault with
intent to do bodily harm by jury at
Lancaster last fall, it being alleged
that he pointed pistol at Bert Flesch,
Muscoda, in the course of Ku Klux
Khan parade in Boscobel last August.
Attack UnprOvOked, Charge.
Shields was knocked down and
arose, pointed his pistol at F1esch and
attempted unsuccessfully to fire it, ac-
cording to the testimony.
Counsel for Shields suggested to the
court that ito sustain conviction for
an act committed while in the perform
ance of his regular duties and under
circumstances as aggravated as ap-
pear in this case, would be to estab-
lish a precedent which might cause
every peace officer to hesitate in the
performance of his duties and believe
that unless he approached strange
bodies or mobs alphabetically he
would be held liable" 1t would also
make citizens feel safe in striking
down peace officers, it was argued.
On the other hand, the evidence
showed Shields guilty of the charge
of assault, the state contended. The
assault upon the Waterman was not
justifiable nor unprovoked, it was add
ed, and "Shields was evidently malic-
iously interfering with lawful and
orderly conducted parade"
