WEAK DEFENSE

His defense in the trial was
weak. Most observers believe that
he would have been convicted if
an odd combination of circum-
stances had not suddenly indi-
Gated that the actual murderer
was Turner.
Miss celia Mae Gross. proprie-
tor Of rooming house at 734
Junction, became suspicious of
Turner one of her dodgers, when
several occupants OF the house
complained that money and other
articles had been stolen from
their rooms.
She made a search of his rooms
and belongings. One of the things
she found was the purse of Joyce
RaulSton. still containing articles
belonging to the murdered school
girl.

SIMILAR CONFESSION

Like Turner, Vincent had made
a full confession of the crime.
Like Turner, he had later pro-
tested his innocence.
The case against him seemed
ironclad. In addition to signing a
detailed confession. describing in
minute detail how he had stabbed
the girl TO death, Vincent even
went TO the dump with police and
and "rc-enacted the crime"
Few believed him when, brought
into court, he sobbed;
II didn't do IL. just signed
the confession so they would
stop beating me-"

Turner TO 60 on Stand
Instead OF Vincent
BY JOHN CREECY

When Robert Turner is placed
on trial Tuesday for the murder
of 14-year-old Joyce Raulston
whoSr-maHgied body was found in
a city dump one day last spring,
the proceedings will have little
novelty for court habitueS.
Except for Turner's appearance
in the principal role, the trial will
virtually be repeat performance.
Richard Vincent, 23-year-old
gasoline station employe. was the
defendant in the previous trial,
which ran for three weeks last
June before reaching a dramatic
denouement unrivaled in fiction.

such a person in a disadvantageous
position equitably to decide important
matters as between several organiza-

divided or conflicting interest, pre-
vents other qualified persons from

The last demand of the Bishops
may diminish the contributions of the
Sloans, the DuPonts, the Kelleys, the
Rockefellers, when the plate is passed
in church. These churchmen are for
participation of labor in management,
and a wider distribution of ownership
of all property.
Under this head Doctor Ryan spoke
in detail He told of the billions upon
billions of dollars that the govern
ment has invested in plants for the
production of rubber, steel, aluminium,
air planes and airdromes and landing
fields, in the new magic metal mag
nesium.
The Bishops think these plants
should not be dismantled; that they
should not be returned to private in
dustry; that they should be turned
over to the returning soldiers, and
run as cooperative enterprises. This
interferes with the peace plans of
our millionaire junk dealers. After
the last war | know of one transaction
where a Pacific coast steamship COM
pany bought for $150,0O0 a fleet of

ment seventeen million dollars.
think every churchman in Montana
should be with the Bishops in not
wanting similar thefts, under the
after this war.
A senate committee estimates that
at the end of the war, there will be
103 billion dollars worth of supplies,
plants, landing fields, and miscellane-
GUS property owned by our govern
ment. Either the nation must keep
all this alive by putting to work there
in the released soldiers, and others
who at home are now doing their full
duty on farm, in mine and factory,
or as economic dead material this
property will provide the largest feast
ever known for scrambling million
aire social buzzards.
do not suspect that the good
Bishops have elaborated with the
CLIO for political action, or Farmer
Labor speakers, but they seem to
have gotten the same answers to
many of our pressing problems. Both
seem to agree that the High Priests
of the Golden Calf be unfrocked, and
that the sacred animal be melted up
for the benefit of the people.

ISOLATION of Montana, to be formed,
and be it further
Resolved, That we do in this con-
vention fully accept and endorse the
constitution of the Communist Polit-
ical Association, and the resolutions,
reports and program and policies
adopted by it at it's convention in
New York City on May 20, Fl and
%, 1914, and be it further
Resolved, That in accordance with
the constitution of the said Commun-
list Political Association and the res
olution of its national committee, that
we do hereby constitute ourselves the
Montana state convention of the said
association.
The above resolution was adopted
unanimously.
The question of broadening the &C
tivities of the organization in Mon
tana was discussed and it was agreed
that an adequate state committee
should be elected.
III view VI thC SCO6i oPbitoA hAo
tribution of our membership and the
political problems of the state, it was
decided that the state committee
should be divided between Great Falls
and Butte so that majority of the
committee could be gotten together
in either city with the minimum of
travel. Further discussion resulted
in agreement as to the types of rep
resentation the committee should
have, and it was decided to select
three members from the leadership of
the FL, five from CLIO, four from the
Farmers Union, two leading women,
and three members outstanding in
Communist work regardless of their
affiliation. This made total of II
members divided geographically as
follows: Great Falls 6, Butte 7, Hell
ena 1, at large 3.
After thorough and frank discus
sion regarding the qualifications of
various members, their positions and
relationships in mass organizations,
their willingness to serve faithfully
on the committee, and their ability to
provide honest and intelligent leader
ship for our state organization, COM
mittee of II as shown above was NOM
mated and elected.
The next order of business was the
election of officers and an executive
committee from the membership of
the state committee. After discus
sion of the functions of officers and
the role of the executive committee,
the following were nominated and
elected by unanimous ballot:
State president, VIM. McMurphy
Vice president, Oliver Baker.
State Secretary, Ira Siebrasse.
Three additional members to serve
on the executive committee with these
officers.
Brother Siebrasse reported to the
convention that the Great Falls club
would hold picnic on Sunday, Aug
ust 10, and invited all members TO
attend. Some of the delegates from
Butte volunteered to furnish cars for
the transportation of members to
Great Falls and return.
It was agreed that state commit

Great Falls on August 10.

By LOWNDES MAURY
For seven centuries before the Pro-
testant revolutions that began with
Luther and Calvin, about 1915, the
Church of Rome claimed, and partly
exercised, political authority over
the moral conduct of every civil gov
eminent in western Europe. The
Greek Church, headed by the Bishop
of Constantinople, exercised a like
power over Eastern Europe and Rus
STA. A great upheaval came with
Luther and Calvin on the Continent,
and Henry the Eighth in England.
Church and State were separated in
England, the German states, finally
in France. Though the religious be-
liefs of Lutherans, members of the
Church of England, our Episcopal
Church, differ very little from those
of the Roman Catholics, and though
Latin Rmerica is all Catholic in re-
ligion, yet as Americans, North and
South, we all believe in the separa-
ton of church and state.
This, however, does not mean that
earnest educated clericals shall not
advance their opinions on political
and economical plans crying for i'm
mediate action by governments all
over the world. Being both social
and political Democrat myself, l be-
lieve that our people should hear and
consider the words of the great
churchmen on some of these issues
now throbbing in the hearts of the
economic world.
Recently, in Butte, at the Catholic
Conference on Industrial Problems of
Bishops, the Right Reverend Mon
signor Ryan made an address on
some basic announcements of the
Bishops, so astonishing, so revolution
airy, that no daily newspaper in Mon
tana dared to publish it. Such words
shake the very foundations of present

agreed to every plan Father Ryan
advocated. AS his epoch making
speech was smudged by our corpora
ton owned daily press, l am trying
to give to churchmen of Montana,
clergy and laymen, Gentle and Jew,
Protestant and Catholic, even the
partly religious bodies, such as the
Masons, sketch of the address. Con-
slider it all, topic by topic. If you
think after careful study, parts should
be rejected, then reject such parts,
but, if you agree with me that all
of it would lead to happier world,
embrace it, vote for it, work for it;
at least learn what a Deep earnest
clerical student says
Father Ryan, speaking for the Bish-
ops, advocated minimum wage scale. |
That is, that all wages should be high |
enough to ensure a good American
standard of living. Other states have
passed such laws, but they seem
never to have entered the head of any
corporation spinning top that we have
sent to our state legislature.

Mr.. Chairman, Members of the

I would like to express my appre-
citation in the name of the CLIO of the
state of Montana for the privilege of
stating the position on post war plan
ming of CLIO labor in the labor.
Our National President, Phillip
Murray, deems this hearing before
this committee of the utmost impor-
lance as he sent us telegram to be
sure and attend this meeting.
We are heartily in accord with the
program of cheaper power for the
state, as we believe this will tend to
bring more small industry in the
state; also the program for individ-
ual ranches instead of monopolized
ranching. Furthermore, we believe
in a stock pile of strategic minerals,
as nation prepared is the same as
prizefighter trained. The other fell
low hesitates tackling him.
We commend the thought of the
gentlemen who has got the interest of
the returned soldier at heart, but we
also are called Soldiers of
Production. And furthermore, these
boys are fighting for us. If there are
not jobs for us, and the returned sol
diers-Soldiers of Production And
Furthermore, these boys are fighting
for us. If there are not jobs for us,
and the returned soldiers too, then
they will not only have fought for us,
they will also have to support us
when they come back.
We could go on other matters that
labor is interested in, but we do not
want to take up the time of this com
mittee, as we feel the matters have
been admirably covered by former
witnesses.
