Expert Explodes
lBy Inprecorr Cahlel

BERLIN, Oct, 5.-Professor Buen-
ing, a revolver expert, presented new
evidence at the political trial of the
nine workers accused of having MUIR
dered a fascist following upon a riot
in front of the fascist headquarters.
The evidence showed that the bull
let which killed the fascist Gatschke.
was fired from the same revolver as
the bullet which was found in the
wall opposite the fascist headquarters,
proving that both bullets we're fired
by man standing before The fss-
cist office and firing at the opposite
side of the street where the workers
were standing.
Following upon the sensational evil
dence submitted by Professor Bruen-
ing the President of the Court de-
clared the time had arrived to con-
slider the possibility of releasing the
accused on bail. The prosecutor OBJ
jected demanding tht the Court hear
| his speech first.
The speech showed sublime indif
ference toward all the evidence
brought out at the trial, but the pros
ecutor was compelled to drop the
murder charge. He demanded ten
years of hard labor for CAL five years
each for Schall and Tobehn, two
years each for Zweig and Sterdt and
complete acquittal for the others.
The court decided to release all the
accused on bail. The verdict is ex-
pected tomorrow.

THUGS MURDER
FARM PICKET
United Farmers Call
for Militant Picketing

CANDY, Mimi, oct. 5-A gang of
gunner in a car showered bullets
into two picket camps of striking
farmers on the roads near here, last
night
Nordhal Peterson, aged rs, strik-
ing farmer, was killed by the gun
men as he stood beside one picket
tent.
Fred, Hacker was narrowly missed
at the other camp, just diving out
of sight as the bullets began to fly.
The sheriff, Martin E. Fitzner, is
already shielding the .nurderers by
issuing a statement that the kill
ing, probably had nothing. to do with
the farm strike
These pickets were acting under
orders of the Farm Holiday Asso-
citation, which pledged to Governor
Olson that all picketing would be
peaceful, with no trucks stopped or
highways blocked. Enemies of the
farm strike promptly take advantage
OF the pickets pacifism to kill them,
The United Farmers League calls
on the farmers to form united front
committees of members of all organi-
cations to lead the strike, to picket
militantly, and to give mass resist
ance to tax sales and seizure of land
on mortgages, also to march on the
cities and demonstrate with the job
less for relief. The U.F.L. urges city
unemployed workers to help the
farmers picket, and asks the farm
strikers to feed the jobless.
