ton of Blackford county, now ac-
cused of bank robbery conspiracy,
was an advocate of rough treatment
for suspected law violators.
But, under arrest, Barton is in
deadly fear of the third degree"

for others.
Friends of Barton, who with six
others face trial for the alleged

pie for protection for the once
"hard- boiled" officer.
Judge Gillespie summoned Off
GERS working on the case and warned
them that any indications that
strong-arm methods were being used
would result in "all officers being
placed in jail"
Since his arrest Monday night as
an alleged conspirator, Barton ap-
pealed often to police to "give me
chance"
Barton is being held under bond
of $4,000, and Mrs. Hazel Green, AZ,
Muncie blond, alleged brains" of
the gang, was jailed under bond
of the same amount.
Mrs. Green today was charged
with bank robbery, in addition to an
earlier count Of conspiracy.
The woman continued to declare

MT. STERLING, KY, Dec. 81
Trial of William Hightower on
charges Of conspiracy to murder
in the Evarts mine ambush of last
May was interrupted today by a
second demand for expulsion of
John T. Moutoux, staff correspond
ent of the Knoxville (Tenn.) News
Sentinel.
Attorney ]. B. Snyder objected 20
Moutoux' continued presence Iii
the courtroom after Judge Henry
Prewitt of Montgomery county
circuit court had released the cor
respondent from charges of con-
tempt growing out of an editorial
appearing in his paper.
Although Moutoux denied having
written the editorial which the
court held to be in contempt, Sny-
der asserted that it not only repre-
sented Moutoux's personal views,
but that he, Snyder, could obtain
numerous affidavits in Mt. Sterling
that it fully represented the CORE
Spondent's position.
Articles Held PrejudiciaI
Continued publication of such
editorials, and such special articles
interpreting the labor disorders of
Harland county as Snyder said that
Moutoux had written, was prejudi-
cial to his people at Harlan, Snyder
said.
Further, the attorney said he
would show that Moutoux was pre-
pairing another series of interpreta-
tive articles.
In the Moutoux contempt hearing,
however, Judge Prewitt advised the
correspondent that the special ar
ticle, wherein Moutoux discussed the
court conduct of Commonwealth At
toSney w. G. Hamilton, was not in
contempt.
Snyder's protest against Moutoux
came after the court had raised no
objection to l<outoux's suggestion
that he be permitted to remain as
the United Press representative.
Presence Called "OdiOus"
'His presence is odious to the
prosecution" Snyder told the court.
Judge Prewitt then directed the
attorney to file his suggested aff1-
davit.
The court stipulated, however,
that neither Moutoux-nor any
other representative of the News
Sentinel-could sit in his court and
take notes on the Harlan mine riot
conspiracy to murder cases until
the News-Sentinel apologies for
and corrects'' such alleged attacks.

others. Lactic acid milk, made OF

Bulgarian buttermilk, made of whole
