STEWART VERDICT
FAIR, SAYS JUROR
{. B. Mcintyre Defends His
Associates-Hogan Attacks
Norris Statement.

Erwin b. Mcintyre OF the McLach-
len Banking Corporation, member OF
the jury which acquitted Col. Robert
w. Stewart. chairman of the board OF
the Standard Oil Co. Of Indiana, today
answered the criticism Of Senator
Norris of Nebraska In which he had
charged the acquittal to be miscar-
riage of Justice He issued the follow
ing statement:
MY attention has been called to the
statement issued by Senator Norris OF
Nebraska. who spent only a compare
lively few minutes at the Stewart trial,
which lasted 10 days to the effect that
you cannot convict millionaire, and
that IL man has enough money to
hire lawyers he can obtain his acquittal,
There Is no justification for Senator
Norris statement. The jury that ac-
quilted Mr. Stewart knew absolutely
nothing about his wealth or lack of
wealth. No evidence on that subject
was before them, No such considsra-
tion influenced them No man, wheth-
er he be Senator or street cleaner, has
any right to make such a statement so
far as this Jury is concerned.
Defends Verdict.
AS regards the lawyers. the case was
splendidiy tried on both sides. 1t is
hard to understand the statement that
defendant who can employ lawyers
has an advantage In view of the fact
that In this case, as we'll as any other
I know anything about. the proSecu-
ton was represented by lawyers Just
as we'll as the defense
THE jury found Mr. Stewart not
guilty because we were impressed by the
Slipshod methods followed by the Sem
ate committee and the Senate itself.
While the case did not turn on the abb
Sence of quorum, we did not believe
there was any quorum present or that
there were any regular minutes kept.
Moreover, we know that Congress can
delay matters of vital importance for
long periods of time and we saw no
great public reason why Mr.. Stewards s
testimony as to whether he had any
conversation with Mr.. Sinclair could
not very well have been postponed until
after the Sinclair trial.
I'VE listened TO more than 90 pages

oaths. Mr.. Stewart was entitled to the
benefit of any doubt.
mo member OF the Jury had intended
to make any statement as regarded our
deliberations, but the entirely unjusti-
fed attack of Senator Norris called for
this statement. Also erroneous state
ments regarding how the Jury stood
warrants my feeling, released from a
tacit understanding that we would not
make that known. The facts are that
the jury on the first ballot, within a
few minutes after the case was taken
up for cieiiberation, voted for acquit-
tai and for conviction. Within an hour
0 voted for acquittal and for con-
viction. Within another hour the jury
stood 10 for acquittal and for convic-
ton, and II was quite well understood
that those two would vote for acquittal
the first thing In the morning after
matters relating TO jury organization
were settled.
1.-THE vote was unanimous on the first
ballot taken In the morning. The jury
gave close consideration TO the case and
without any influence except the evi-
dence they heard, rendered their ver-
dict, for which am sure not one OF the
l2 has the slightest apology to make. "
Hogan Amplifies Statement.
Attorney Frank J. Hogan, enlarging
on his statement of yesterday concern
ing the Norris criticisms, said:
Senator Norris time-worn state
ment that a millionaire cannot be con-
vlcted in this country, and that de-
fendant who can hire a lawyer Is as
sured of acquittal, has been drawn out
Of the pigeon hole for publication every
time he and few others like him have
failed to dictate convictions against
those who have sdared to differ with
them. Norris would be humorous II he
we're not pathetic. interesting If he
were not vicious. His aspersions, sew
eral times repeated, upon honest men
and women of this city who have served
on juries are as contemplate as they
are unjustifiable, as indecent as they
are inexcusable This Senator volun-
teered the role OF star witness for the
prosecution In the case against Col.
Stewart, and the verdict makes 1t OBJ
vious that the jury rejected his testi-
mony.
1T is high time that Senators who
devote their time to prosecutions in
stead of to the legislative business for
which the people pay them should real
lie that while by abusing political
power they may attempt to make

and to constantly recall the expert
ence of the war of 1914 is the I'M
failing duty of all the sections and
of every member of the Communist
international.
In order that revolutionary work
and action may be properly led and
coordinated the international prole-
tariat must maintain international
class discipline which must be pre-
served above all in the ranks Of the
Communist Party. This interna-
tional Communist discipline must be
expressed in the subordination of
the partial and local interests of
the movement to its general and last
ing interests and the unfailing ex-
ecution of all the decisions of the
leading organs of the Communist
international.
Unlike the social democratic par
ties affiliated to the second interna-
tional which accept the discipline of
their own" national bourgeoisie
and their "fatherland," the sections
Of the Communist international rec
ognize only one discipline-interna-
tional proletarian discipline, which
guarantees victory in the struggle
Of the workers of all countries for
world proletarian dictatorship.
Communists do rot think it neces-
sary to conceal their views and in
tentions They openly declare that
their goal can be achieved only by
the violent overthrow of the whole
of the present social system.

before the Communist Revolution!

crossing over because of the develop
ment of the mass proletarian and
peasant movements, the Communist
Party must steer a course for the
hegemony of the proletariat, and for
the dictatorship of the proletariat
and peasantry, which will ultimately
grow into the dictatorship of the
working class. In such countries,
the Communist Party must concen-
trate their efforts mainly upon
creating broad mass proletarian or
CARNATIONS (trade unions) and revo-
lutionary peasant unions, and upon
drawing up demands and slogans
directly affecting the working class.
It must propagate the idea of the
independence of the proletariat as a
class which on principle is hostile to
the bourgeoisie, a hostility which is
not removed by the possibility of
temporary agreements with it. 1t
must Undue the masses with and de-
velop among them the idea of the
hegemony of the working class; adj
vance and at the proper moment APP
ply the slogan of Soviets of Work
ers' and Peasants Deputies.
On the basis of the community of
interest between the proletarian
revolution and the struggle against
imperialism in the colonies, the sec
tions of the Communist international
must be guided by the following pos
tulates:
The Communist parties in the i'm
perialist countries must render sys-
tematic aid to the revolutionary
movements for liberation in the
colonies. The obligation to render
the most active support rests princi-
pally upon the workers in those
countries upon which the oppressed
nations are colonially or financially
dependent Campaigns for the with
drawal of imperialist troops from
the colonies; propaganda among the
