JUDGE SHOOTS A
WORKER ON FARM
Had Up h ED Charge
Against 5 Communists

Especial to the Daily Worker) -.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 25. =
County Judge Thomas C. Jones of
McKeesport, who has just upheld
the conviction of five Pittsburgh
Communists for speaking at an
open-air meeting, shot a laborer or
his Versailles township farm a week
ago Saturday, it became known here
today.
The worker, Tod Olson, fifty-five
years old is now in serious condi-
ton in the McKeesport Hospital,
with a gunshot in his chest.
The five Communists, E. P. Cush
Fanny Toohey, Mike Harrison, Fred
Kearns and Sam Herman, district
organizer of the Young Communist
League, will be ordered to surrender
soon and will be imprisoned in the
county Jail for 80 days.
The judge who attempted to muir
der Olson is at large, although it
is apparent that he conspired with
the hospital authorities to suppress
the facts of the shooting for week
In an effort to explain away his at
tempt to kill the worker, Jones said
that "neighbors in Versailles town
ship knew of the affair, and l sup
pose it would be brought to the at
tention of the authorities"
Records Hidden.
At the McKeesport hospital, the
Daily Worker representative was
told that the records of the case
"were misplaced"
Olsen, on his cot in the hospital
ward, declared that the Judge had
once before threatened to kill him
The jurist was drunk at the time OF
the shooting, it is believed here.
The district attorney, a close as.
sociate of the judge in the inner re-
publican machine Of the county, to-
day declared that he would bring nc
action against Jones unless the gun
victim swears out a warrant. Such
action on the part of the prosecutor
is most unusual in criminal cases,
especially where militant workers
are arrested and charged.
Judge Jones was recently re-
elected on the republican ticket in
Allegheny county where an anti-la-
Dor record is the first prerequisite
for nomination. McKeesport, where
he lives, is in the grip of the National
Tube Co., a subsidiary of the United
States Steel Corporation, and the
McKeesport Tin Plate Co., both vici.
ously anti-union in character.

EXPOSE VERDICT
BY STEEL TRUST
JURY AND COURT
Show How Ohio Three
Were Railroaded

ST. GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Nov,
35.-How a jury, handpicked by the
representatives of the open shop
steel and coal bosses, railroaded
5hree members of the Communist
Party, Tom Johnson, Charles
Guynn and Lii Andrews, to pos
sible 10 years in prison on charges
underhanded means used to accom-
Dlish the class-sentence, are now
revealed by the international Labor
Defense district secretary for Ohio
and West Virginia.
The steel trust hired a special
assistant prosecutor for the trial
Of the three Communists. Hand
picked by the steel trust, the jury
consisted of storekeepers and farm
RS. One juror, challenged by the
iefense, admitted he was member
Of the American Legion and the
defense forced his removal.
The only witnesses against the
hree workers were five police Of
icers and deputy sheriffs. The
hief of police stated that the very
act that the Communist Party was
onducting the meeting at which the
workers were arrested on lnterna-
ional Red Day, August /, was suf-
.icient basis for arrest.
The address of Prosecutor Nc
Nelvey to the hand-picked jury was
he extreme limit of hatred against
militant workers, an Indictment to
ynching. McKelvey boosted of his
membership in the American
legion. He called for the deporta-
ion of the defendants.
The assistant prosecutor, spe-
tally hired for the occasion,
shouted and screamed and aften
ecame breathless, in his rabid at
.ack on the Communist Party, call
ng for everything from the maxi
mum sentence and deportation to
l mass attack by the American
.egion and all "red-blooded Ameri-
ans" on the Party headquarters
n Cleveland.
He opened his speech by pray
ng to God to help me and give
ne strength to say what l want
o say" and to prove to the court
low terrible" the defendants really
we're, trying to cause riot and
oloodshed in peaceful Martins
Jerry" He called the three work
rs bastard spawn of anarchy
Which should be removed for all
ines from this grand and glorious
ountry."
After these TRADES of hatred for
niIitant labor it took the jury, with
is mind made up before it retired,
nut IL minutes to return its verdict
i guilty.
A motion for a new trial was
nade by the defense, which the
Judge will rule on at later date.
The defendants. on the stand,
earlessly declared that they would
on fighting, with the Communist
'arty, against the steel and coal
losses exploiting the workers.

 Putnam, Conn.
 Gentlemen:
 am pleased to hand you herewith my subscription to the Patriot. My family looks forward to its arrival every Saturday morning as we are quite interested in all the latest news up Woodstock way especially.
 You comment on Washington af- fairs occasionally but nothing has been said about Senator Bingham and the unhappy difficulty he has gotten into. l am sorry the Senate has seen fit to censure him for what consider a well intentioned effort to promote the best interests of the state of Connecticut. Perhaps the system for regulating the tariff is out of date and there should be less secrecy. Changes in the tariff should be more openly arrived at" l have no doubt Senator Bingham feels this rebuke keenly but he should rest serene in the knowledge that he is and has served his state to the best of his ability.
 He is an honorable man able and devoted to the best interests of the state of Connecticut and deserves the commendation of all thinking people.
 Yours very truly,
 ALBERT $. FLANAGAN.
