SENATOR AND
CHURCH CLASH
ON PROHIBITION
Demand That NethodiStS
Get Out of Politics Made
by Copeland,
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May Senator
Royal S. Copeland's declaration
that the Methodist church should
get out of politics today paved the
way for a general attack on the pro
hibition lobby which many religious
and dry organizations are alleged to
maintain in the vicinity of the
Capitol building.
Copeland said he had received
many kilograms of commentator
for his charge that the Board of
Temperance, Prohibition and Pub
lie Morals Of the Methodist church
had lobbied openly for votes in the
senate office building.
Many Of the messages, he said.
had been sent by members of the
Methodist church, to which he be-
longs.
La Guardia to Enter Fight
1t was expected that Representa-
tive f. H. La Guardia, New York.
who will discuss prohibition for
forty-five minutes on the floor to-
day, will mention lobbying on the
part Of other bodies, including the
Anti-Saloon League, and other dry
associations.
Several other New York members
declared they would introduce reso-
buttons for investigation of activities
such as those denounced by Cope
land.
Copeland said that when Deets
Pickett Of the Methodist board
called on him to persuade him to
vote for the prohibition r~eorganiza-
ton bill two years ago, Pickett x
planned that he had discovered
Copeland was a Methodist and
therefore considered him a likely
senator to visit.
But DR.. Clarence True Wilson,
general secretary of the board, de-
MED he ran a lobby. He charged
that Copeland had asked Pickett
to visit him and consented to pub
lication of the details of their con-
Versation.
Copeland Is Accused
Then, wilson added, Copeland
thought he could make political
capital out of the prohibition vote.
Now, asserted the prohibitionist,
"a new ruler has come to Tam
many" and Copeland lis running
to cover by giving a curtain lecture
to the board of temperance of his
own church"
Although denying lobby activities,
Wilson said his group had the right
of free speech, free press, of public
assembly and the right of petition"
He said they would not hesitate to
give public expression to u view
in press or platform, and to talk
with any senator where our pres
ence is welcome"

MURDER TRIAL
/ BEGINS TODAY
AFTER TANCLE
Defendants Wife and VIC
TINS Widow Once in
Same Cell.

n. Tirss errrfr'
WASHINGTON. Ind. May !. -
Joseph Exc of Vincernes went on
trial in Davies circuit court here
TO-DAY charged With tbe murder last
September of Robert Marley. The
case was brought here on a change
Of venue from the Knox circuit
court.
Self defense viii bo Eke's plea.
Il rs said no and Marley %Quarreled
ovor possession of a liquor still, the
climax Of which was punctuated
with bullets.
Marlevs widow viii be the states
star witness. She and the princi-
pals ia the tragedy were the only
ones present when il was enacted
A taDgle Of circumstances have
served as a prelude 10 the trial, the
latest being a trip TO the state penal
farm by counsel for Exc for the pur-
pose Of bringing back Peter West
moreland as a witness.
Find Witness in Jail
At the farm, the lawyers learned
WestmOreland had never been an
inmate of the institute. Returning
10 %VinCennes. they found the man
they wanted a Jail prisoner, await
ing removal to the farm to begin a
sentence for violating the prohi-
bition law. Sheriff Kruse says he
has not taken the prisoner to the
farm because he has a sick son.
Westmoreland was given a ninety
Gay sentence following arrest of
Mrs. Exc. the accused's wife, on a
dry law charge. It is said he made
q buy" of liquor from her at the
request OF federal agents.
Woman in Same Cell
For a time Mrs. Exc and Mrs.
Marley occupied the same cell in
the Knox county jail, the latter be-
ing detained as a witness in the
murder trial.
Counsel for Exc endeaVored to cb-
tain a continuance of the trial a
few days ago, on the plea that
Henry Mack, former Knox county
sheriff, and William Gentry, de-
sired as witnesses, we're away from
V%incenneS.
Rather than permit delay, Prose-
cutor Arterburn agreed 10 admit the
substance OF testimony the defense
said Mack and Gentry would give.
It is IN support of the self defense
theory.
