He Speaks in New York and Expects to Resume
 His Assaults

New York, Nov 27-OP)-The Rev Charles E. Coughlin, militant champion of monetary policies of the Roosevelt administration, indi- cated to-day that his mass meeting address tonight will pick up where I left off yesterday in a blistering attack on Alfred p. smith and other critics of the pres idential program.
 Father Coughlin said he had not yet time to gauge the public reac- tion to his attack on the smith "balony dollar" letter as the "obit- uary notice of one who could have been great"
 "Whatever the reaction" he said, "it had to be done. I have never faced a task I have less liking for. The most prominent Catholic lay man in the country was attacking the presidents attempt to get us out of the slough of depression and despair. I have vowed that I'll crack every head that bobs up in such fashion.
 "As a matter of fact, was be- seiged with telegrams urging me to take former Governor Smith to task. Two bishops wired me and the clergy from all over the coun- try, Remember that the Catholic bishops in their recent national meeting in Washington resolved unanimously to support the presl- dent in his policies
 q am not certain yet just what I shall speak about tonight but to some extent I'll pick up where left yesterday. I cracked Ber- nard Baruch and Alfred F. Sloan yesterday"

 Sheriff William Emig was dan- gerously injured in defending his prisoners. He was struck in the back of the head by brick. N-rays were to be taken later today to de- termine the extent of the injury. SprinlIing of Women Men, boys and sprinkling of women composed the mob. Many women tainted and were trampled. Others screamed hysterically and fled. Others wept. Some laughed crazily. Some faces were flushed. Others were deathly white.
 It was enough for the mob that Thurmond and Holmes had con- fessed. The city had seethed since Nov 16, when Thurmond was ar rested. He was telephoning the palatial Hart home here demand ing $40,000 ransom. He confessed that Hart was dead and implicated Holmes.

 Father Coughlin further stated that "the capitalistic single gold standard always has been the slave standard whose manacles were welded fast by the bonds of debt" He asked-"Are not the bankers and those identified with them the defenders of the gold standard. the gold enslavement in 1883 as in 1892"

GouernorRolphB Backs Up Moo Of Lwchers
Says It Is the Only Way to Deal With Kidnapers- Parents Are Scared to Let Their Children
 Out Doors to Play

Sacramento, Cal, Nov. 27-(UP) All kidnapers held in Folsom and San Quentin prisons should be paroled to the people of San Jose for proper treatment, Gov. James Rolph said today.
 q am thinking of parolng any kidnapers to those line patriotic citizens of, Sstn. Jose who know how to handle the situation" he said. Parole Officer Ed Whyte is much too busy as it is"
 Rolph determined that two kid napers are in Folsom prison. They are Joseph P. Baillie, 50, and Earl H. Van Dorn, both from Los An geles.
 Baillie is serving 3 life term for Kidnapping, extortion and robbery and Van Dorn was sentenced to serve ten years to life for kidnap- ing and eXtortion.
 Rolph admitted that he prob ably could not parole the men to the citizens of San Jose, but he said he thought it would be a fine idea.
 "They did a good job," Cover nor Rolph said as he reviewed newspaper stories of the lynching. T don't think anyone will be ar rested down there, but if they I'll pardon them," he added.
 "There'll be less kidnapping in the country as a result of this. It was the only way to give lesson to the country.
 "It's about time the people in their homes have a little peace and comfort It's gotten so bad since the Kidnapping of the LindberSh baby that mothers are afraid to let their children go outside their homes to play.
 with such condition it is only natural that people will take the law in their own hands. After all, the people make the laws. I think this will serve as a lesson in every state in the union"
 The governor believed that his assurance he would not call out troops gave the people courage Ito protect themselves
 Having planned to leave for Boise, Idaho, last night the gover- nor said today that he didn't dare to leave the state because someone might have called out the troops"
 "As it was," he added, there was no loss of life with the excep- tion of the two men hanged"
