Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, June 9.-The most arrest
ing thing in connection with the pa
role hearing Thursday for Fred E.
Beal, the famed Gastonia case con-
vict, was the complete lack of even
casual public interest.
Paroles Commissioner Edwin Gill
moved the hearing from his own Of
fices to one of the larger rooms in
the Revenue Department building,
but he did that before the hearing
began He could have waited and all
he would have needed was slightly
more than dozen chairs for the al
most dozen thoroughly bored news
men, couple of stenographers, two
lawyers, the commissioner himself
and pair of Tar Heel intellectuals
who show their liberalism" by
plumping for the stodgy chap who
was convicted after a sensational
trial some decade or more ago for
the Staying of Gastonia's Chief o. F.
Aderholt.
Most interesting thing, aside from
the lack of interest, was the ingen-
ious argument put forward by Louis
E. Wahlman, New York lawyer who
made the principal plea for Beal.
Mr.. Wahlman showed himself one
of the most capable attorneys ever
to come down from Yankeeland to
tell the benighted deniens of Dixie
how to run their affairs.

He showed it by absolutely eS-
chewing the role of, perceptor IN now
thinn| really ought TO be carried on.
He sStudiously fefrained from ad-
dressing Mr.. Gill in the manner of
pedagogue to pupil; expressed moth
ing but the highest and most sincere
admiration for Judge Barnhill, who
presided over the Beal trial in Char
lotte. for the brilliant counsel (Which,
incidentally, included the man who
will pass final judment on the
clemency plea) who prosecuted him,
for the jury which convicted him.
He ascribed the best of motives
to everybody connected with the case
except the Communists. He fairly
oozed laudation at every pore.
But, contended Mr.. Wahlman, de-
spite all the best motives in the world
it was humanity impossible for the
Jury to pass an impartial, unpre-
JUDGED verdict upon Beal at the time
of the trial.
This thesis he supported by the
affidavitS of five of the country'S
most noted psychologists and by cita-
tions from almost innumerable text
books and writers on psychological
subjects.
Beal was on trial, he pointed out,
for conspiracy to kill Chief Ader-
holt, or for actually killing him.
These simple issues would not have
been hard to determine if unmixed
with other issues, but the prosecu-
ton, he maintained, fatally" pre-
JUDGED Beals cause when it was
permitted to introduce evidence
showing Cd his communism, (2) his
atheism, (3) his lack of patriotism
and (4) his adherence to doctrines Cd
trade unionism.
The Supreme Court of North Car
olina, he declared, held that admis-
sion of this sort of evidence was, per-
hapS, error, but further declared that
no new trial could be granted un-
less the error appeared to have been
so prejudical that different result
would have been reached if it had
been excluded.
The five noted scientists whose af-
fidavites were submitted were unan-
imous in agreeing that the Beal jury,
with this sort, of testimony before it,
could not and would not reach an
unbiased, unprejudiced verdict.
Mr.. Wahlman bOlStered his right
to introduce these affidavitS before
the parole commissioner by citing
the brief of Louis D. Brandeis, just
retired as a Federal Supreme Court
justice, in the famed Oregon case,
which resulted in reversal of a pre-
vious ruling and sustaining the con-
stitutiOnality of law limiting the
working hours of women. In this
case, he pointed out, the highest
court in the land permitted the pres
entation of scientific data not brought
out previously in the case.
All in all, the Wahlman plea a.
mounted to the assertion that the
Beal conviction was obtained with
out perjury, fraud or trickery; but
thatsit was obtained under circum-
stances fsWhich made a really fair
trial absolutely and humanity inn
possible. -

like.
A great majority of politicians
concur in the judgment that he's
right about this. Or supposing, some
of them say, that the convention does
names a standard bearer of whom
he disapproves- their dope is
that, by expressing his objection to
the latter or by simply keeping still,
evidently dissatisfied, he can fore
close that candidates last hope of
victory in November.
According to such reasoning, Gar
ner's final prospects are far from
rosy, if Roosevelts surely enough a.
gainst him. That's why the Garner
ties are so insistent that their mans
persona grata at the White House
they need to think so. But there are
plenty of skeptics.
Alternative Selections.
It's we'll known that Harry l.. Hop
kins was F. DIS initial bet to follow
him. But Harry had made an overly
spendthrift record as WPA admin
istrator. It was necessary to build
him up with businessmen; hence his
appointment to the commerce de-
partmental secretaryship. Unluckily
for him, he fell ill at that juncture
and failed to register for weeks and
weeks. Maybe he can pick up yet, but
he's belated.
Politicians refer to James A. Far
ley as middling good vice presi-
dental gamble, but as a small White
House likelihood.
Agriculture and Interior Secre-
tarics Henry A. Wallace and Har-
old L. Ickes suit the President, but
apparently they haven't greatly en-
thused the masses, as political sharks
assess them
Senator Bennett Champ Clark
hasn't look-in if the White House
can help it.
Quite numerously l hear the sug-
gestion, eff State Secretary Hull were
ten years younger, he'd be nominat-
ed." The White House would have
to like him after keeping him thro-
ugh two presidential terms as cab
met premier. He's sufficiently liberal
to satisfy New Dealers; moderate
enough not to scare conservatives.
Well, Secretary Hull's three years
younger than Vice President Gar
ner, who is TO-.
Yet age is alleged against Hull:
not much against Garner. 1 suppose
Garner's younger for his years than
Hull is.
