When six workers arrested after po-
lice smashed an unemployed demon
stration here, August 3, appeared for
trial today, the court room was crowd
ed with workers denouncing the pro-

OHIO LYNCHERS
Ironton Mob B e a t
Negro to Death

IRONTOWN, Ohio, Aug. "A jury
here yesterday acquitted six mem
bers of a mob which on June Z
lynched Luke Murray, Negro
chauffeur.
In the face Of their admissions
that they had dragged Murray from
the Jail, the defendants were never
theless turned loose by the jury, care
fully picked for the purpose.
Murray was arrested following an
argument with white man, Ben
Hall He was thrown into Jail, and
shortly after dusk mob, led by the
six defendants, seized the Negro
worker, dragged him to the river
and placed him on boat and set
off toward Kentucky.
The lynchers put forward the in
genious defense that Murray jumped
from the boat, but convincing evil
dence was presented at the trial that
he was beaten to death and then
thrown into the river. The Negroes
body, badly decomposed, was taken
from the river on June 10, three days
after the lynching.

S. p. Joins Tammany in
Stealing Street Corner
Used for "Red" Meets

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The treach-
erous collaboration between the So
ciaist Party and the Tammany
police as result of the demand by
the Socialist leaders that the police
department help them attack Com
munist meetings was again revealed
by the action of the Tammany-
Thomas coalition in stealing
street corner from the Communist
election committee after a police
permit had been obtained to speak.
The permit was obtained for a
meeting Tuesday night by the
members of the Zukunft Workers
Club, at Second Avenue and Seventh
Street. When they arrived, they
found Socialist Party meeting, and
IS policemen and a radio car blocking
it. Inquiry from the plice revealed
that orders had been received from
higher up" on behalf of the So
cialist Party. to keep the Communist
election campaign speakers off that
corner. The Socialists had been
holding meetings on ' the opposite
corner, and when the Communists
tried to speak there, they found that
also blocked by the police.
The club held it's meeting at 9Th
Street and Second Avenue, exposing
this Socialist Tammany collaboration
against the workers. A meeting on
the Seventh Street corner for next
Tuesday was announced. Joseph
Porper, Communist candidate from
the 18th Senatorial District, and
other candidates will speak.
The zukunft Workers Club was
up to seven months ago affiliated
with the Socialist Party, but because
of the betrayals of the Socialist
leaders, split with them and is at
present actively supporting the Com
munist candidates in the present
election campaign.

Alteration Painters In
Statement Nail Lies
of Socialist Forward

NEW YORK.-A denunciation of
the socialist Jewish Daily Forward
for its lying stories regarding the
workers employed in the Sol Cohen
shop is contained in a statement
just issued by the workers employed
there.
The statement declares
THE painters of the Sol Cohen
shop protest against the lying state
ment printed in the Daily Forward
on July 80, declaring that the shop
is on strike. and that city organ
izer Harris brought ten strike break
ers and a gang Of Communist goril-
las"
I'VE the painters of the Sol Co.
hen, declare this statement untrue.
Those workers who still doubt that
the Forward is not a workers paper
are now convinced of it's lies and
treachery.
I'VE the workers of the Sol Co.
hen shop struck three months ago
under the leadership of the Altera-
ton Painters Union of New York. We
won union conditions in our shop,
and in some cases a raise in wages.
We declare that we will stick with
the Alteration Painters Union and
pledge our help morally and finan-
cially. We are convinced that this
union is the only organization that
puts up militant fight to better the
conditions of the painters.
cat the same time we protest a.
gainst District Council 8, which sent
q gang of gorillas to 485 Jackson Ave.
Bronx, where two of the workers
were beaten up. We are convinced
that in using such tactics, a union
will not be built"

j W|FE-K|LLER

BOSTON, Sept. Z. 0NS)-Be-
hind the bars today DR.. Towne-
ley Thorndike French. 81, son Of
Henry Willard French, war cor
respondent, author. and lecturer,
remained as puzzling as his life.
The scion of a distinguished
Hartford Comm family walked
into q police station last night
and calmly confessed he killed
Mrs. French.
"Why did you kill your wife?"
DR.. French replied:
! why? Why? The passing of
q human being is always myS-
teriOus - mysterious. You ask
me why? Perhaps the psyche
analysts can tell yOu."
Five years ago DR.. French be-
came a cripple as the result of a
fall on the ice. His wife nurSed
him and supported him.
36 Hours By Body
Because he would not allow
even plumber to enter his lodg-
ing house rooms. it was thought
that Dr. French was working on
an invention or discovery in med
icine.
For SO hours DR.. French sat by
his wife's body before notifying
police.
Limping into the police station
alone, DR.. French said to Police
Lieut.. Charles w. Miller:
There's some trouble at No.
4 MelrOSe Street. 1 shot my
wife. She is lying dead in a
room there"
The gray-haired doctor placed
q pistol, with one cartridge
missing, on the police desk.
Couldn't Support Her
He continued with his expla-
nation:
II killed her because 1 was
tired Of seeing her live in
abject poverty. My first plan
was to kill myself. But 1
thought if did that, she
would be left alone to fight
the battle. She was out of
work and 1 couldn't support
her. So 1 decided suddenly
Labor Day morning to shoot
her as she slept. 1 felt she
would be taken care of that
way and the State would take
care of me for what time 1
have yet to live"
DR.. French was divorced by
his first wife in 1920.
DR.. French was prodigy,
completing his medical school
course at the age Of 20 and re-
ceiving his degree at Harvard a
year later.
