TWO MORGAN STORES
BROKEN INTO LAST WEEK

Two business places in Morgan
The Big Store and the V. Kronfuss
harness shop-were burglarized early
last Friday morning. Entrance in
both cases were made through rear
windows. Appearances are that the
thieves were after money. Some cut
Jery was taken from the Big Store
and the new cash register was pried
open. At the Kronfuss shop the
register was pried open and some
eight or ten dollars secured. A leath-
er bag had been taken out of stock
and left on the floor. The safe door
was battered up with a sledge or
heavey hammer. Both cash registers
could have been opened by simply
pressing a key but the thief or thieves
went to considerable effort to pry
them open. The loss at both places
was greater from damage to the cash
registers than anything else it is be-
Iieved. Mr.. Kronfuss returned late
from a trip to New Ulm and was ir
the shop as late as 1870. The thief oil

WOLL'S OUTFIT

SACCO. VANzETTI
Civic Federation Wants
to Broadcast Wigmore

In an effort to drag Dean Wigmore
Of Northwestern law school, the only
legal expert in the country who has
been found to declare the Sacco-Van-
zetti death sentence just and war
ranted, out of the obscurity Of a Chi
cago methodist college, the National
Civic Federation has written to Gov
ernor Fuller Of Massachusetts, pro-
posing a debate between Wigmore and
Felix Frankfurter, Of Harvard.
Deriding as propaganda" the ef-
forts of the workers who have stayed
the hand of Massachusetts "justice"
from electrocuting Sacco and Vanzet-
ii for six long years, Ralph Easley,
chairman of the National Civic Fed
eration's council, has asked the gov
ernor if he has "any objections" to
the debate, which would be broadcast
by radio.
But the Civic Federation, Of which
Matthew Vol, disrupter of the Fur
riers' Union, is acting president, fell
into an open ditch in its letter when
Easley commended the governor for
not appointing commission to re-
view the case. Right on the heels Of
the Federation's pat on the back,
Fuller did exactly that thing when
he named three Bostonians as a COM
mittee to review the case.
81 only know what | read in the
New York papers regarding it (the
easel )" writes Easley, land since you
did not take their advice to appoint
"a commission of impartial men'-as
if there were any such thing il a case
of this kind-to 'thresh it all out
they seem to have lost interest in the
matter"
