COURT GUARDED
AT BOMB TRIAL
Youths Represented
AS Dangerous

In an obvious attempt to prejudice
the jury and create the impression
that the defendants were dangerous
characters" the Brooklyn supreme
court was again heavily guarded with
uniformed policemen yesterday at
the trial of five Latin-American
workers charged with bombing.
The defendants, who were brought
into court handcuffed, are charged
with placing bomb near the court
house building last Labor Day. They
are Jesus Silva, Eugenio Fernandez,
Joseph Roa, Julian De Hoyos and Vic
torn Fern. Fernandez is Cuban.
The others, all Mexicans, are being
defended by counsel retained by the
Mexican consulate here. All are un-
der 26 years of age.
Would Avert Frame-up.
When the Mexican consulate an
nounced that it would undertake the
defense of the young workers, the
declaration was made that it was
eager to "avert another Sacco-Van-
zetti case"
Thus far only two witnesses have
testified for the prosecution. A Negro
testified he overheard plans being
made for the bombing. The men
named by him speak only Spanish
and the Negro does not say that he
understands the language.
Much Ado About Nothing.
Michael Falvey, the detective who
made the arrests, testified yesterday
to seeing maps and various mechan-
ical devices in Fernandez's room at So
State ST., Brooklyn. The prosecution
will try to prove that this material
was used for the purpose of making

REVOLT PERILS

IN TENNESSEE
Religion and Prohibition in
Forefront as Issue
in State.
BY BENTON STONG
Manager Nashville Scripps Howard Bureau
NASHVILLE. Oct. 16-The mid

Manager Nashville Scripps- Howard Bureau
NASHVILLE, Oct. 16.-The mid
die Tennessee political pot seethes
over a fire of religious bigotry and
ultra-dry sentiment.
What the residue will be no one
can assert with the least degree of
certainty.
The four congressional districts
comprising the middle Tennessee
area are nominally Democratic by
$4,000 to 10000 votes. But revolt
of dry Protestant Democrats here
is likely, though not at all certain,
to swing to territory into Herbert
Hoover's column.
And with it would go Tennessee's
twelve electoral votes, for Demo-
cratic west Tennessee's majority
lust about will balance the Repub-
lican majority in east Tennessee.
Nashville is hotbed of Hoover
Democrats. Here resides Bishop H.
M. Dubose, chairman of the South
land Committee of Safety, which
presented a petition of more than
100000 names at the Democratic
convention protesting Smiths nomi-
nation. Dubose is stumping the
area for Hoover, discussing only
prohibition.
Push HoOver's Cause
jeff McCarn, leading Protestant
attorney and lifelong Democrat, is
even more active than Du Bose in
Hoover's behalf McCarn is presi-
dent Of the Hoover Democrat" Or
ganization in middle Tennessee,
formed at a recent meeting at
tended by 400 persons representing
forty communities.
While the boilers talk prohibition,
the religious issue frequently crops
out in their public speeches. Nc
earn, keynoter at the boilers meet
ing, referred directly to the religious
beliefs of Smith and John j.
Raskob.
Prohibition alone, however, is
enough to swing hundreds of votes
from the Democratic column. Not
one state nominee has had the
courage even to maintain silence on
Smiths prohibition views.
All have apologized for his adj
vocacy of state option, declaring
that in spite of his beliefs Smith
can be trusted to dry up the nation
more effectively than present en-
forcement machinery. Democratic
leaders here frankly told Smith that
unless he spoke in Tennessee the
state would go to Herbert Hoover.
Smith Hopes Rise
After his speech they were OPP
tinistic, for hundreds came from
adjoining counties to greet the
nominee in the greatest ovation ever
accorded any candidate in Nashville.
Only the size and enthusiasm of
this ovation makes the writer hest
tate to predict a Hoover victory, not
only in middle Tennessee, but in all
Tennessee.
Since the Civil war, Democrats
have averaged only a $4,000 ma
jority in the entire state. 1t twice
has gone Republican, for only
few thousand boilers are necessary
to switch the normally close results.
