DEAN GIVEN LIFE;
L WYATT SENTENCE
Detroit Judge 0enounces
Black Legion for Racial
and Religious Prejudices.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 3. Circuit
Judge Joseph A. Moynihan sentenced
Dayton Dean, Black Legion "execu-
toner" and States informant against
fellow terrorists, to life imprisonment
today for the killing Of Charles A.
Poole.
Denouncing the hooded order for
its racial and religious prejudices.
Judge Moynihan proclaimed Poole,
who was shot to death after false
gossip that he mistreated his wife, "a
martyr to the cause of civil and re-
ligious liberties"
He told Dean: "As you walk among
your fellow prisoners, keep in mind
that you are being supplied with the
creature comforts which, because Of
your crime, are being denied the
widow and children OF Charles
Poole"
Dean, who will serve the life term
in Southern Michigan Prison, said:
II am glad It's over. I hope no
one else gets in the same jam. I'm
glad also that the organization was
broken up."
Others Await Sentence.
Judge Moynihan announced he
would pronounce mandatory life SEN
tences tomorrow on the seven de-
PENDANTS convicted Of first degree
murder in the Poole case.
Four other men, convicted of muir
der In the second degree, will be sea-
fenced Saturday, the judge said.
Judge Moynihan asked Dean:
WAS your testimony against your
codefendants motivated by personal
vengeance?"
mo, my only motive was in seeing
that the organization was broken up
for the good of the people," Dean
replied.
Reviewing briefly the after-mid-
night shooting Of Poole, a young w.
P. A. worker, and testimony that
Black Legion men were incited against
him by false gossip that he beat his
wife, Judge Moynihan said:
TT is unbelievable that such q
crime could be committed in cold
blood and without emotion in this So
called enlightened age.
1T Is q sad commentary on our
form Of civilization. It would be my
wish that the law permitted q more
severe sentence for you and some of
the other defendants. can only
sentence you to spend the balance Of
your life in the State Prison Of South
ern Michigan at hard labor and soli-
tary confinement
States Star Witness.
Dean, two-gun "executioner," who
calmly told of shooting Poole on the
order of Black Legion superior ofi-
Ger, was the States star witness in
grand jury investigations and IN the
trials of fellow members of the secret
society.
Under the glare of men facing long
prison terms as the result Of his tes-
timony, Dean revealed what he con-
tended were wanton killings by Black
Legion night riders, and told OF
death squads" and larson details
ordered into action by leaders who
ruled their hooded subordinates with
the fear Of fioggings and death.
The killing of Poole was to have
been . "necktie party" Dean testi-
fed, but the rope for . hanging
failed to arrive ut the scene.
Routine police investigation that
followed uncovered widespread activ-
ity In the Detroit area by the terror
