CONSTITUTION
HutchesOn's Tools Make
Farce of Union Laws

The CONSTITUTIONAL" takers
who are dsfying the will of the
majority in Local No. 161, of the
carpenters union, gave another
example of how little they care
for the law of the organization,
last Monday night, when the
president refused to entertain a
resolution preferring charges
against the local president for
his violation of the constitution
of the international brother
hood.
The struggle in Local 1871, arose
over the illegal expulsion Of five mem
bers of the union by a ukase from the
president, acting under the instruc-
lions OF Harry Jensen, a member Of
he local and also president of the dis
trict council Jensen is the real "presi-
dent" OF Local 1S1 and attends every
meeting to guide his tools along the
thorny path which he has mapped out
for them.
Jensen fears that II he missed one
meeting. his flunkeys would not be
able to hold their own. as they have
less brains than he has. which is not
saying much for theri. At least ninety
FIVE per cent OF the membership are

Got A New Idea.
When last Monday nights meeting
opened. the chairman made a show of
being devoted adherent of the con
stitution and said the meeting could
not be held until the expelled mem
bers removed themselves from the
hall This was a novelty. as they had
attended all other meetings since they
were expelled" and had gotten the
password in the regular manner.
The new instructions from Harry
Jensen. prove that the takers are
getting nervous and are afraid that
the rank and file may not be able to
hold their patience much longer. They
have seen few takers holding up
the business of the meeting for sever
al weeks and they are going to stand
for 1t indefinitely.
The Cars Letter.
At Monday nights meeting. the
president read the letter from Hutche-
son which stated that the appeal of

ALLENTHORP is
FOUND GUILTY OF
I'd DEGREE MURDER

Wltdene Allentharp is found guilty
Of second degree murder in the case
of the People of Colorado VS.. Wildene
Allentharp. charged with the murder
of Sheriff Willis a. Davis last Oc-
tober.
The case was tried in the Lake
County Court, Tuesday and part of
Wednesday of this week, and was
given into the hands of the Jury
about 4:30 o'clock Wednesday. The
jury after deliberating about eight
hours returned a verdict of guilty OF
second degree murder.
Sentence will be withheld until aft
er ten days, which time is allowed the
defendant to file a motion for a new
trial. The penalty for second degree
murder carries a prison term varying
from ten years to life at the discre-
ton Of the court.
Judge welch made a very unusual
talk when he plead for the death pen
atty for Allentharp. THE only fault
we might find with Sheriff Davis"
declared Judge Welch, was that he
was little too slack, a little off
guard, a little too good natured, a
little too friendly to all. for Davis was
friend to everybody"
Considering the fact that Sheriff
Davis attempted to make the arrest
of Allentharp without the necessary
warrant in his pocket, the state feels
that it has achieved a distinct victory
in securing the conviction. Allen
tharp plead self defense and declared
that Sheriff Davis fired the first shot
which did not take effect.
Because Of the fact that the court
ruled out the warrant and other legal
papers in connection with the case
only one Delta witness was used. This
was Wliford Flaugher. who was with
Sheriff Davis when the tragedy oc-
Cured. The State examined about
six witnesses and the defense an eq-
ual number.
All the parties who went to attend
the trial with the exception of Mrs.
Davis, returned home last evening.
