One of these American hounds,
Cotton, jr., whelped in 1927,
was returned by the farmer
who had been keeping him,
early in the year 1884, and was
given to the Ell Paso County
Hounds, Colorado Springs, with
which he finished the season.
When it was proposed to es-
tablish the Arapahoe Hunt in
1929, no one had the foresight
to call the attention of any Of us
to the approach of the depreS-
sion, the demagogueS, and the
Democrats. Some kind friends
did call attention to the lack Of
scent in this dry climate, but
we could remind them all that
on many occasions bird dogs,
provided they had good nose,
could work as well as one would
desire. They called attention to
lack Of foxes, yet many Of us had
seen foxes and there were al
most more fox farms than
mines in Colorado at that time.
OF course, fox hunting is a
luxury, but one is hardly juSti-
fled in hunting a silver fox.
When some of our friends
complained that the hounds
could not catch a coyote, we
reminded them that in America
it is the sport Of the chase
rather than the kill which
counts. For one who knows,
it is the opportunity to observe
the work of the hounds that
rivals the thrill of the chase.
Others told us that coyotes
would eat the foxes, and we had
to use the argument that if we
chased coyotes out of the coun-
try, foxes would have a better
chance. Some complained that
the cactus would handicap the
hounds and we had to suggest
that it might also handicap the
coyote.
It was suggested that there
was too much wire in the coun.
try. The kennels, however, are
located on the Diamond K.
Ranch of Mr.. Frank E. KiStler,
with a total Of some $4,000
acres. Twenty thousand is in a
solid block and there are only
two division fences, east and
west, and two north and south.
The adjacent holdings of land
are usually in blocks of 1000 to
1000 acres, and there are few
places less than a mile square.

7 was out one day with the
Cottesmore hounds. 1t was q
morning to delight ones neart;
We were clubbing. We entereo
a ride, where I sat my morse
watching hounds work-a 1as-
cinating pleasure Tor me-
always.
The huntsman had out that
morning a large entry Of young
hounds. My mount, quite trac-
table, was standing quietly III
the ride. I saw several foxes
cross and recross the ride, a
short distance from me. The
hounds, suddenly, came boiling
down the ride, just where l
had seen the foxes, but the
hounds took no notice. I could
not understand it.
In a few moments, the hunts
man came dashing up, very
much in a rush, it seemed.
Madam" said he, "have you
seen the hunted tox?"
I mentioned that I had seen
several foxes cross and recross
the ride, but that I did not
quite know whether l would
recognize the hunted fox If I
saw him. Laughingly, he re-
piled:
ooh, you'll know him when
you see him!"
He went off at top speed.
In a few moments a fox stole
out across the cutting. His
mouth was open and his brush
seemed to drag a bit. Before
one could speak a word, the
hounds were nearly on top OF
him. Into cover they went after
him. The hunted fox soon
broken from cover and we had
a good run.
It was wonderful to me. and
I do not yet understand how
those hounds kept to the one
fox-the hunted fox. I take off
my hat to that huntsman. Per
haps I'm taking my hat off to
the wrong hero of this tale, but
I noted in England that the
hounds do not hunt, but rather
that the huntsman uses hounds
to hunt.
On another occasion I was
asked to take lunch with an
old friend at one Of England's
Show.places, a beautiful home
near Melton Mowbray. After

It. is true that the remnants of
packs remained, but the sport
for several years lapsed to the
style. of Colonial days. Hunt
ing was undertaken, but on a
very small scale, and many
SportSmen were forced to join
their one or two remaining
couples of hounds to form a
pack. This condition of af-
fairs brought about the club
system of fox hunting.

Fox Hunting Ceased
During Civil War

It is recorded that the Civil
War put an end to fox hunting
for four years, and that at the
end of this bloody period the
people of Virginia and of Mary
land were so poorly situated
financially that they were un-
able to indulge in the sport as
they had before the days of 81.

out to two other printers. An eff
fort was made to get the bill of ex-
ceptions in the Patterson case to
Decatur by March /, SO that if the
date of verdict was to be taken as
the important date we would never
theless have the bill of exceptions
filed In time. A completed copy Of
the bill of exceptions in the Pat
terson case was ready late on We'd
nesday, Feb. %, and was sent by
aeroplane to lawyer in Birming-
ham, who was prepared immedi-
ately upon its receipt to motor to
Decatur to file it. Unfortunately
the aeroplane had an accident and
did not arrive, so that it was i'm
possible to file this bill of excep-
tons on March /. 1t, together with
the bill of exceptions in the Norris
case, was filed on March within
the ninety-day period calculated
from the day of judgment as SOL

mo claim was made by the At
torney General that the bill of ex-
ceptions was filed 90 late until on
May rs, 1884, just before the argu-

a motion to strike the bill of excep-
tons. Mr.. Leibowitz and Mr.. Cham
lee, who we're both in court on that
occasion, agreed with me that this
attempt on the part OF the Attor-
ney General was shameful and was

hands, and all the rest of it reached
the printers that day. 1t was found
that to complete the task within the
time allowed was beyond the capa-
city Of single printer, and so part
of the work was let out to other
printers; these printing establish
ments we're kept working day and
night.
The bill of exceptions was filed
on March 5, which is within the
ninety-day period calculated from
the date Of sentence set forth in
the judgment docket and as SOL
emily recited by the Attorney Cen
eral.
AS matter of fact, in order to
make doubly sure, a completed copy
of the bill of exceptions in the
Patterson case was completed late
on Wednesday, Feb. %, and was
sent by airplane to a lawyer in Bir-
mingham, who had agreed imme-
diately upon its receipt to motor to
Decatur to file it. Unfortunately,

the airplane met with an accident
and did not arrive as scheduled, so
that it was impossible to file this
bill of exceptions on March /.
However, the bill of exceptions
was filed on March 5, and it is my
contention that it was filed on time.
The appeal was reached for argu-
ment on May IS, 1894, and then for
the first time the Attorney General,
just before the argument started,
made motion to strike the bill Of
exceptions.
The argument on appeal was
made by Mr.. Fraenkel and Mr..
Leibowitz; Mr.. Chamlee was also in
court; and all of these attorneys
agreed that this attempt on the
part of the Attorney General was
shameful, and prophesied that it
was doomed to failure. No claim
was then made by either Mr.. Leibo-
witz or Mr.. Chamlee that there had
been any negligence indeed, they
had been at all times informed of

ion then expressed that neither
event was controlling but that the
controlling event was the entry Of
Judgment. We both examined the
Clerks minutes in Decatur and
came to the conclusion that judg-
mnt had been entered on Dec. s.
in this respect we were corrobora-
ted by the written motion of the
Attorney General himself who, in
moving to strike the motion for
new trial, said.
THAT this Court no longer
has jurisdiction, power or au-
thority, over the judgment rem
dered in this cause on the 9Th
day of December, 1885,
I'VE, therefore, concluded that we
had until March in which to file
the bill of exceptions. The prepa-
ration of the bill of exceptions was
task of the first magnitude since
it involved the turning into nara
tive form of over one thousand
pages of testimony That task I
commenced the moment I stepped
on the train in Decatur on Satur-
day afternoon, Feb. "a, 1884, and

night until my arrival in New York.

The public attacks which Sam
uel LeibOwitz and George w.
Chsmlee, together with the Har-
lem Amsterdam News, have been
hurting at the international Labor
Defense at this crucial stage Of
the ScottsborO case are indicative
of "desertion, or perhaps worse"
Joseph r. Brodsky, chief counsel
of the 1 L. d. declared yesterday
in a statement detailing the full
history of the recent developments
in the case.
Giving irrefutable proof that
every legal step taken by the /. L.
D.. before the Supreme Court has
been taken at the advice of either
Leibowitz or Chamlee, BrodSky

on the peculiar circumstance that

Mr.. Chamlee was of the same opin-
ion for he then wired Mr.. Brodsky
in New York that the motion in
the Patterson case had to be filed
on the 29th. 1t was filed en- the
goth. Not at that time nor at any
other time during the proceedings
which followed did Mr.. Chamlee or
Mr.. Leibowitz ever suggest to me
that the motion should have been
filed earlier. AS matter of fact.
according to the contention raised
by the State, the last day for fill
ing the motion was December 23rd,
which was before l was retained.
Any statement, therefore, by any
one to the effect that the respon-
sibility for the failure to file the
motion before the 23rd can be laid
at my door is an unqualified false
hood. In this connection I also
wish to call attention to the fact

"a, 1884, the date finally set for
the argument Of the motion, did
the Attorney General claim that
the motion had been fled too late.
His contention in this respect was
accepted by the Judge, who ruled
that regardless Of what he had
earlier said he had no power to
grant an extension beyond the term
OF Court which expired on Dec.
%. No claim was made at that
time by Mr.. Liebowitz or Mr..
Chamlee that the delay was in any
respect due to my fault or that of
the International Labor Defense,

to work with me and with the In
vernational Labor Defense in the
prosecution of the appeal.
Date for Bill of Exceptions
Under Alabama law bills of ex-
ception must be filed either ninety
days after the denial of a motion
for new trial or ninety days after
the probable denial of our motion
by Judge Callahan. 1t was only
when the motion was struck out
that the necessity for Immediate
action arose. There was some dis

BY Joseph r. BrOdsky
Counsel for the International Labor
Defense

December 7, 1884, is the date set
by the State of Alabama for the
execution of Haywood Patterson
and Clarence Norris, two Of the
Scottsboro defendants now sitting
in death cells in Kilby Prison,
Montgomery, Alabama.
Thirty-eight days remain in
which 70 arouse worldwide
protest against this barbaric YER
dict
F7lis is the time picked by Sam
uel S. Leibowitz, George W. Cham
lee, and their nouthpiece, The Am
stefdam News, to launch hypo-
critical and unprincipled attack on
the International Labor Defense,
which for over three and one-half
years has led the struggle for the
unconditional release of the limo
cent Scottsboro victims and has
aroused millions throughout the
world in protest against the hor-
rible frame-up; attacked also in
this TRADE of abuse are the attor-
neps for the International Labor
Defense, Osmond K. Fraenkel and
Joseph R. Brodsky.
The particular point of attack
over the radio and in the press
Launched by Messrs. Leibowitz and
Chalnlee is that the I. L. D. and its
attorneys were negligent in making
a motion for new trial in the
case of Haywood Patterson and in
filing the bill of exceptions for his
appeal.
This accusation is entirely false
and known to be SO to those making
the charge. Here are the facts.
The third trial of Haywood Pat
terson was held before Judge w. w.
Callahan in Decatur, Alabama, and
q jury brought in its verdict OF
guilty on December /, 1888. Sen
tence Of electrocution was an
nouneed by Judge Callahan on De-
cefnber g. 1893.
Two important steps we're neces-
ssTy for the purpose of taking an
appeal TO the Alabama Supreme
Court. The first was the filing OF
a motion for a new trial before the
trial judge, and after that was de
MED, the filing of bill of excep-
tons in the Supreme Court of the
state.
Immediately after the jury
brought in the verdict Mr.. Leibo-
WITT requested Judge Callahan for
thirty days from the time when he
would get the stenographer's min
utes within which to make motion
for new trial. this the Judge de-
clined, stating that Mr.. Leibowitz
had thirty days within which to
file such a motion, and could apply
for a continuance if necessary.

ported in the New York Times, the
