ALLEN WILSON Staying CASE
GOES TO JURY TODAY

1894, Myers drove the plotters'
car to the Mcdonald home. Four
of the men left the car and hid in
the woods while Myers waited.
They killed an innocent man,
Pugh said, recounting that Wilson
was delivering newspaper to Nc
Donald's home and the gangsters,
laundering again, after the faux
pas in the dynamiting attempt,
shot into Wilson'S car and killed
him. Mcdonald and his wife wit
messed the killing from their bed
room window.
Welsh, however, took the posi-
ton in his argument that there
was no evidence to corroborate
Cleary'S statements. He cited a
Baltimore blackhand case, in
which a man was convicted on the
testimony of two accomplishes and
this conviction was reversed be-
cause there was no corroborate
evidence. Judge Hammond Urner,
chief judge of the court, was one
of the judges of the court of ap-
pealS that reserved the conviction
in the Baltimore case.
"COld BloOded" Tale
Cleary's story, told on the
stand at the opening day of the
trial, was cold blooded and dis.
gushing" Welsh shouted to the
jury.
The last witness was j. s.
Bardwen, manager of the Alban
Towers Apartments, who was re-
called to the stand to clear UP
the Identification of Cleary by
Haywood johnson, colored JAM
tor at the apartments, as one of
the men who visited and lived
with Sutton.
Bardell said five or six colored
employees were. called in to his
office, one at a time, to view
Cleary, who was taken to the of.
flee by detectives, and that John
son had picked out Cleary'S pic
ture when it and a number Of
others were placed on a desk be-
fore him.
Mrs. Edna Myers, wife of the
defendant, left a sick bed to be at
her husbands side during the
closing hours of his trial. She was
reported to be suffering from pneu-
monia.
AS Mrs. Myers entered the court
room she was smiling and talked in
low tones with Myers.
There was final whispered con-
ference, and then Mrs. Myers left
the courtroom. Tears were stream

ration. There has been plenty OF
confederation, ugh declared.
Pugh reviewed his evidence.
The murder plot grew out Of a
raid on gambling establishment
owned and operated by Albert S.
Sutton, also under indictment for
wilson's murder, in downtown
Washington and Mcdonald was
blamed for tipping off the police
and causing the raid.
Then, Pugh said, the plotters
planted dynamite in Mcdonald S
car and came within an inch"
of blowing Mcdonald, his wife,
Viola, and their infant child, into
eternity.
When that failed, Pugh de.
clared, Cleary was detailed to
shadow Mcdonald from Washing
ton to his Takoma Park, Md,
home night after night, and
others in the plot made trip to
New York to purchase machine
gun.
Counsel for Myers petitioned
the court to recall j. S. Bardwell,
manager of the Alban Towers
Apartments in Washington, to
the stand.
Counsel said they had informa-
ton that Haywood Johnson, col
ored janitor at the apartments,
had not identified Cleary and My
ers as two of the men he had seen
in the apartment.
Mr.. Welsh said Cleary had iden-
titled johnson and had in reality
forced the janitor into remember
ing" him and the others. The al
legged identification by Cleary of
the janitor was made at police
lineup in a Washington station
house, Mr.. Welsh declared.

IF the men of Europe marcn, can
the feet of young men in America stay

only a matter of months before the

gangplanks onto troop transports?
Unless the people of America show
a determination to stay out OF other
peoples wars, and TO stay out Of wars
for the protection of certain, small,
speculative investments in Far East

ity proposal will die.
"The significance of their death may

satisfaction, if we are to call it that, OF
knowing that there was a moment in
the early months Of 1886, when the
voice Of the people of America could
have made itself heard by their repre-

would have said, in effect: Here

reported TO the two houses of congress
and compromise neutrality proposals
are now awaiting congressional action.
Those who iavor the compromises are
not saying that they do not want to
do everything possible TO keep Ameri-
ca out of another foreign war, of
course. But they are saying that COM
promise IS necessary because there is
not time for further consideration and
debate. This is a political campaign
year and congress wants to be away
from Washington and at home mend
ing fences by the first of May.
They are saying, in effect, Let us
compromise now and meet the neu-
trality issue more squarely when the
campaign and elections are over
Il am wondering what may be
the reaction of the American peO-
pie to this. Are they, too, for COM
promise and for leaving this all
important neutrality issue again
for decision TO another day? To
me, it seems that there ought to
be almost unanimous demand
that, even though it be necessary
for congress to remain in session
for months and months, this job
should be completed.
at should be done not without de-
liberation, but done after thorough de-
liberation and then done fully. We
ought to realize now that a compro-
mise on this issue may easily end the
question by a public being hlled into
the feeling that the job of providing
for our neutrality has been fully done.

And yet there possibly isn't n Of US
who hasn't, at one time or another, moved
over in the road TO pass a car, and then
wondered if we would get around in time.
Now here's an interesting thing about
that. When we try to pass a car that's
going forty miles an hour it's just the
same as if we tried to pass a standing
string of cars 126 feet long. In other words,
it's like passing eight cars parked bumper
to-bumper in the road. If we try to pass
one going sixty, it's like trying to pass a
line of more than sirteen cars standing in

The trouble is that we often don't realize how fast

same thing again. In other words, we keep putting

have lost our usual sense Of how fast we are going.

concerned with is taking curves and corners. From
time to time in these discussions we will find that
the same old laws Of Nature will be involved. Fore
most among them will be the laws of momentum, and
momentum plays the major part in going around
curves. Because momentum not only wants to keep
us going, but going in the same direction. When it is
