More Identity
Mil Thug Who
Shot Ella May

GASTONIA, N. c., Nov. g.
Horace Wheeler, one of the gunmen
of the Loray Mill, mmeber of the
gang of mill bosses, superintendents
and professional thugs which mur-
dered Ella May, was twice more
identified today by witnesses to the
shooting, as the one wso actually
fired the fatal shot.
The whitewashing proceedings go
ing on in Judge P. A. McElroy's s
court here could not prevent workers
from picking out of the lnie of ar
rested men those whom they saw
firing on the workers in the truck,
in which Ella May and 20 other
Bessemer City textile mill hands
were riding home, after vainly at
tempting to break through the ter
ror bands surrounding the speaking
place in South Gastonia, Sept. IA.
Witnesses have told how the truck
was headed off by one gangster car
and thrown over, and how a car
load of men with guns came up and
opened fire on the occupants of the
truck.
! Julius Fowler, a crippled man in
the truck, walked along the line and
picked out Wheeler. He said
Wheeler was standing on the left
side of the road, and that Wheeler
fired his shot at Ella May just be-
fore the truck collided with the car
sent ahead to block it's way.
Charles Shope also identified
Wheeler as being present, and also
Fred T. Morrow and L. H. Thomp-
son as members of the killer gang.
Morrow was in the machine that
stopped the truck.
The men under arrest so far for
the killing are: Yates Gamble, Fred
Morrow, L. M. Sossman, Jack Car
YER, Horace Wheeler, W. M. Doyters,
Lowery Davis, o. H. Lunsford, Troy
Jones, Theodore Simms, George
Fowler, Howard West, Ray Carver,
w. H. Holbrooks, L. H. Thompson,
and F. F. Haney.

COMMUNIST VOTE
DOUBLES IN SAN
FRANCISCO, CAL.
Negro Worker Heads
List of Communists
in N. Y. Ballot
Cheat Workers of Vote
Tammany Terror Drive
flinders Big Showing

An election that was character
lied in most cities throughout the
country by substantial increase in
Communist votes, in New York dis
played particularly the reaction of
the workers against race prejudice.
The highest vote for any Commu-
mist candidate recorded in New York
City was $3.50 for Otto Hall, Negro
worker and candidate for comp
troller.
The Communist vote practically
doubled in Tuesdays election in New
York, over the vote cast in the last
mayoralty campaign here, 1925, in
spite of every possible adverse cir
cumstance. The terror of police per-
secution throughout the campaign.
the intimidation of workers going to
the polls, the serious evidence that
the voting machines were fixed in
many cases, and the certainty that
hostile capitalist party election
boards tabulated and announced the
results in every precinct: all these
and many other causes prevented an
adequate reflection in the ballot re-
suits of the growth of Communism
among the workers of New York.
Nevertheless, the highest Communist
vote on the ticket of 1925 was 1888
for comptroller, and this years
highest, also for comptroller, is
6,050.
Tammany Counts Votes.
Tammany counted the votes, and
the Communist Party gets only what
Tammany, agent of Wall Street,
cares to announce. But. District 2
of the Communist Party has in the
short time elapsing since the vote
was announced, been able to check
up and has found some Of the miss
ing ballots. In the 10Th Assembly
District, populated heavily by Negro
workers, several hundred Negro
workers are known to have voted
Communist-and the official count
is 80 votes. In the 17th Assembly
District, where there are large num-
bers of Spanish born workers, and
workers of Spanish parentage, more
than a thousand signed the Commu-
mist petition to put the Party on the
ballot. The count given by the cleo
tion boards is 60 votes.
On Several Fronts.
W. w. Weinstone, district organ
izer of the Communist Party, and its
candidate for mayor, commenting on
the election results yesterday, point
ed out that the campaign was con-
Quoted by the Party while it was
actually working out the line by
which alone the masses of workers,
growing more resentful of wage
cuts, exploitation and oppression,
could be rallied to it's standard. The
fight against the right wing mis-
leaders in the Party, and against the
Trotskyite traitors to Communism
had to be conducted, and the forces
reorganized for election, while the
other parties were proceeding with
specious arguments and untold
wealth for election purposes, to be-
cloud the issue.

! 1.-THE whole theory of attempted
murder is untenable until we find
some reason for it.
IF it were not for the thrown
switch I would abandon it entirely;
but until that is explained 1 won't
be satisfied. Is it possible that Lena
could have turned on the current
herself?
"Is it likely that some unknown
person could have done it acciden-
tally, or unknowningly. or without
sinister intention?" He shrugged
his shoulders.
THAT can wait while, though"
he continued, now, back to Lena.
BY the way, her acquaintance with
canoe. I would like to be present
Westervelt may have some signif1-
when he learns of her death and
the circumstances surrounding it.
There's another line of investiga-
ton to be followed up. Pass it now.
Why did Lena go into the labora-
tory? Why did she lay hands upon
the cylinder? That curiosity bunk
UNI I gave the coroner and the
reporters was all rot, of course"
He looked inquiringly at WILDER,
who shook his head without re-
Spouse.
well, here's another theory; it's
the one that first came into my
mind, but it does not explain the
mystery Of the closed switch; Lena
came in here to steal the cylinder"
"What?" WILDER exclaimed. ooh,
1 can't agree with you. She knew
nothing of its value; she never
showed the slightest interest in any
of my work here. She was ignorant,
as stolid as an OK"
Granted" Sheridan replied.
Just the type who would be an
easy tool in the hands of more
intelligent, designing person. Here
is bit of information that may
point the way: Lena was entertain
ing a caller on the kitchen porch
last night, so Sheila tells me. He
was known to her as Mr.. Riley"
Great Scott!" Smedley ex-
claimed, II see what you are driving
at! Riley-Riley Morgan, of course.

you've guessed it." Sheridan re-
piled with a smile, Riley Morgan,

robbed the safe of Mrs. Wilber's
diary, back again for other and
more valuable loot"
