 Disputes Translation
 MT. Paul this morning, claim ing there had been a misinterpre- tation, in the testimony of Mrs. Albert regarding this threat, ob- tained permission to call Louis Shortridge as an interpreter.
 Mrs. Albert was again asked re- garding the threat. and repeated it in English and in Thlinget. Her English version was unchang- ed. MT. Shortridge's translation of the Thlinget was: You have no right following her around. With my bare hands I will kill you The change in wording was from clean to bare
 Literally Translated
 This, however. he pointed out, is not the literal tranSlatl0n. Lit erally, the Thlinget words consii- tuting the threat were: With my bare hands I will cool you off" But the meaning was T will kill you," MT. Shortridge asserted
 Without the qualifying phrase, With my bare hands," they could have meant, T will throw you in to the cold water but with them they constituted a threat of death, he said.
 E. M. Axelson, Postmaster and missionary of Yakutat, testified that Albert bore reputation for being a peaceable and law abiding man and was not quarrelsome or troublesome.
 The Government called but one witness in rebuttal, William Ged- des, who was asked merely about the position in the cabin at the tins of, the shooting, and on cross

Poultry Racket
Alarms Tammany
Fears Exposure of Part
in Bronx Graft

NEW YORK. April 25.-Joseph
Weiner, thug, gunman, burglar and
shake-down artist who, with Tamma-
ny protection, has operated the kosh-
err live poultry racket in the Bronx,
is missing. Police are pretending to
be looking for him.
Meanwhile five men are staying in
jail, refusing bonds, because they fear
if they are turned onto the streets
or sent home, they will be murdered
by some of. the racketeers associated
with burglar Weiner in the Orthodox
Poultry SlaughtererS Association.
Jewish Rabbits in Racket.
The racket conducted by the cri-
minalS associated with Weiner affects
only the orthodox Jewish trade, in
which the rabbis get a rake-off for
contributing to make the stuff 'ko-
sher," or conforming to the Jewish
orthodox dietary laws.
Unless certain rules are observed
the poultry cannot be sold. The OBJ
ject of the racket is to establish mon
opoly prices thereby forcing the con-
Sumers to pay higher prices which are
split with the gangsters and. of course
with their Tammany partners who
protect all such rackets.
Long List of Murders.
In carrying on the racket many pro-
prietors of Jewish markets have been
murdered for resisting the demands
of the organization.
AS early as 1914, Barnett Baff, a
West Washington Market poultry
dealer, was shot and killed in a price
fixing war Joseph Cohen, leader in
the market was killed in similar
fashion year ago this month.
Today Harry Baff, a son of the
slain Barnett Baff and three of his
partners, Lyman Blank, Samuel
Shipper and Samuel Weiner (no re-
lation to Joseph Weiner) are in jail
refusing bail because they are in fear
Of their lives.
The night Waterman at the market
operated by these men is also in jail
as he is slated to be put ION the spot"
by the racketeers because he saw

"A Real Victory
Patterson in his letter said that
pressure of business has delayed my
transmitting to you the congratula-
tionS of our organization for the very
splendid part you played in the vic
tory which is ours in the Decatur
trial. I say victory advisedly, for
despite the fact that a verdict of
guilty was passed, this outrageously
ruling-class lynch verdict and deci-
sion has been one of the most salient
factors for the mobilization of new
thousands into the ranks of struggle.
THE International Labor Defense
congratulates you for the magnificent
manner in which you carried forward
the battle in the courts, and yet ii
feels that at this moment, more than
at any other, it must call to your
attention anew the basic character of
our fight and the relation of certain
mistakes you unwittingly made to the
weakening of the defense of the boys
as whole.
ut would seem unnecessary to add
that this tremendous gathering of
forces for the defense, in which your
activities played so prominent a part,
was at once the vehicle with which
the forces of reaction were also mo-
bilized. The proof of this, of course,
is to be found in the numerous at

LeibOwitz Confused Issues
The letter pointed out that While
Mr.. Leibowit5 reiteration that he is
not a Communist was quite correct,
his harping on the fact that he is a

which in the South is the most de-

slavery and degradation for the Negro
people and the white workers, seri-

the ScOttsboro case.
Similarly, his lending himself to
the Tammany political ballyhoo at

his letter, is directly contrary to Mi.

not make political capital of his par
