Launch New Efforts to Free Man
Given Life for Having a Pint
Michigan Supreme Court to Hear New Plea of Prisoner
Sent Up As Habitual Criminal

Jackson. Mich, May 2l-(NEA
Service)-On. June the black
robed justices Of the supreme court
OF Michigan will consider the case
OF Fred Palm, who is serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary here
because police found pint Of gin in
his home.
On that date Palms case will
come up for final review. Present to
plead for him will be Clarence OAR
row. famous criminal lawyer; Louis
|Cuvillier. New York assemblyman.
and other attorneys.
As the time for the hearing ap-
proaGhes, Palms friends have been
busy marshalling facts to support
their plea for his release. They out
line their case something like this:
Has Criminal Record
Palm drew a life sentence under
Nichigan's habitual criminal law,
which makes life term mandatory
on the fourth conviction OF felony.
In 1914 he served a term in prison
for breaking and entering; in 1920
he was sentenced to the federal
prison at Leavenworth for passing
counterfeit money: and in 1925 he
vas sentenced to six months 10 one
year in prison here for violating the
liquor law. The subsequent finding
Of the gin in his home made the list
OF four offenses complete.
Yet, on the record books of the
state prison, there are names of
men, sent to prison since Palm
was sentenced. who had been con-
victed OF four felonies but did not
receive life. The judge that sem
fenced Palm said that he had no
option but to impose life term
yet these others. some of them in
for burglary. others for larceny,
were let off with sentences rang
ing from Is months to seven
years.
In addition, Palm insists that
ne pleaded guilty to the charge of
possessing liquor without being
warned that it would make him
liable to life term. He also as
serts that the police who searched
his house did so without search
warrant.
His attorneys have prepared an
attack on the constitutionality of
the habitual criminal law and are
ready to assert that the law class
ing prohibition offenses as felonies
is null and void
That is the outline Of the fight
Palms attorneys will make. His
friends are particularly stressing
the cases of other fourth offenders

MEMORIAL PARADES
Banned BY Police
Afraid Of Repetition Of Ku
KluYers Riot

repetition of the ku klux Khan

Last year so persons were slightly
injured when police endeavored to
divert 1000 unmasked klansmen. in
robes and hoods, from the parade in
Jamaica. directed by the Citizens
Memorial Day association. The as
ISOLATION was notified this year that
no blanket approval would be grant
ed. and that each organization in
tending 10 parade must apply in
dividualIy.
Police Commissioner Warren dis
approved, without comment. the APP
plications OF the Citizens associa-
ton. the Major Emmett D. Smith
Khan, No. IS, knights OF the Ku
klux Khan. and the Empire State
Rangers. Inc, OF Hampstead. Per-
n1its were granted to Is other or
CARNATIONS In other sections Of
Queens and other boroughs.
Issue Statement
The Citizens association issued a
statement threatening court action
seeking review of Commissioner
Warren's action, but promising to
respect the prohibition Of parades.
The khan announced that 1t would
hold a private Memorial Day serv-
ice on its own property near
Jamaica.
When newspapers asked for a
statement from the khan, a $500
word document was deposited In a
vacant store.
The statement charged that May
or Walkers orders to police had
caused last years riot and said that
the organization. through the bal
lot box, would relegate men like
Walker and Smith" to the political
ash can" The right OF the khan TO
parade the statement said, would be
taken to the highest court in the
land"

Palm says that when he was ar
raigned in the Lansing courts on the
gin charge he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to six months to two years
years in prison. Then. as he started
to walk away. he says, he was
called back by the Judge and in
formed that because il was his
fourth offense he would have to
serve life term. That, he says. was
his first intimation that he faced
such severe penalty.

and married. He has been in pris-
on a little over six months; during
his confinement his wife has been
obliged to sell their home to get

charges.

explanation made by Mr.. Pelton. He
said that while the organ will not be
as large as old one, organ builders
have progressed since the old one
was installed and the new organ will
be every bit as good, If not better. 1t
will be large as church organs go,
although not as large as the old

BLISS LABORATORIES
ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Bainville.-The Bliss Laboratories,
in charge of A. J. Kittelson are now
open for the testing of grain samples
for protein content and although early
in the season, samples are coming in
every day in increasing numbers.
Most of the samples so far submit
ted for test have come from a dis
lance with a light local representation
which will increase as the harvest
season advances.
Tests made so far range from 11.40
to 1850 per cent protein, which would
indicate that tn egrain in this section
fthe state will command a premium
this year as in the past.
For the present Mr.. Kittleson is
handling the work alone but as soon
as threshing begins they expect to put
on another man and perhaps two in
order to get out the tests and report
them the same day they are received.
