Class Agitation No Crime. | ‘Now the defendant isn’t charged | in this indictment with stirring up class against class. That isn’t any of- fense against the law. We haven't come to the time th s of ‘evils though it does s against class, is forbidden in the Unit- ed States and made criminal. And ‘when we do then we will simply pass into the crustacean stage. We won't see any more changes as long as such a Statute is in force. Now let us see if we can fetch our mind back to what this defendant is charged with. Dismisses One Count. The court pro ded to state that the act of June 15 covered very nar- Tow classes—the military and naval forces of the United States, and that it prohibited interference with them. “Certainly there was nothing in the speech at Garrison to embarrass the government in the movement of its troops or to give information to Ger- many. Therefore I withdraw the first count of the indictment from your, consideration,” said the court, who proceeded to the consideration of the second and thi ‘ounts of the indict- ment. under which the trial goes to the jury. “Tf he really was there to cause or attempt to cause some soldier or oth-j er member of our militiary and naval forces to do some act of insubordina- tion or failure of duty, you must find him guilty or not guilty of that. You can’t decide whether he made a good speech; where he was fair in his state ment of economic conditions; whether you approve of the stores company | or not. That is wholly immaterial.” This was under the second count of the indictment, charging acts or state- ments tending to create insubord tion or mutiny or failure of duty among the naval and military forces of the country. Lost in Wilderness. Under the third count, the court in- structed the jury that it must ask only whether Brinton made certain statements alleged in the indictment with wilful intent to interfere wita the recruiting and enlistment. service the United States army and navy. you wander off into general themes ot | patriotism you will get lost in a wil-| derness,” said the court, “But if you keep your eyes confined to that one single issue you will not eave rich trouble. Don’t make the nistike of thinking that you can cross that dis- tance between the speech and the! crime. You must find the speaker's | intent. and it is said th can see what is in another's mind. | You must judge by outward appear- ances as to what his intent really was.” Government's Evidence. The court commented at length ap-) on the fact that the government's evi- dence was based upon long-hand notes furnished by witnesses that had taken down only certain clauses or phrases. They were not men, he said, who had “made a practice of reporting and he asserted that even newspa reporters, supposed to have some abil- ity in this line, often got only a few of the high spots, and made their re- ports look like strangers to the party whe knew what he was trying to say. the crime of profiteering, whic dictment was not used by then that ends this law. suit.” Profiteering. The judge discussed at some length profiteering. Continuing, he said: declared one of the most heinous evils which has arisen out of the war. He spoke of the need of pitiless publicity to expose this evil and effect a cure. He declared it not disloyal profiteer- ing nor to condemn it. and declared that the figures used by Brinton were essentially the same as had appeared in publuished reports of government! commissions appointed: to investigate “I can conceive—and that is the only May Be Camouflage. “I eanconceive—and that is the only reason why ! left this case go to you at all—that a man might use the dis- cussion of profittering as camouflage, and that his real object, although cov- ered up and honey-coated, was to dis- courage the sale of War Savings Stamps and Liberty bonds. That is the real meat of the case. Was Mr. Brinton, in discussing profiteering. actuated by a clandestine purpose to} discourage the sale of Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps? If he 5 he is guilty. It is only because it is possible to place that interpretation on his words that I submit the case to you.” ¢ h he mron, javery were stirring up| s 125 per cent ment securities and ‘he military and naval forces of the country, and de- clared that any thing that interfered with one equally interfered with the other A vr presenting a number of char- y as to the reputation n of Garrison, one of the government's principal witnesses, the prosecution in the case of Job W.

He stated that he made this comment. because of a newspaper which had just come to hand, but he did not name the newspaper. Both league and anti-league newspapers have com- mented freely on the evidence, both des having placed their own con- struction on the testimony. Dr. Stucke of Garrison, who was indicted by the last federal grand jury] in Fargo on a similar charge, will be arraigned immediately after the Brin- ton case is disposed of. Some of thé same witnesses will be used on both sides. i BUY W, 8. 8 WILSON ASKS ELIMINATION OF LYNCH LAW (Continued From Page One.) have made this war hideous among the wars of history by showing how those who love liberty and right and justice and are willing to lay down their lives for them on foreign fields stand ready also to illustrate to all mankind their loyalty to the things at home which they wish to see: es tablished everywhere as a_ blessing and protection to the peoples who have never known the privileges of hverty and self gvoernment. “{ can never accept any man 4s..8 champion Of liberty either for our selves or for the world who does not reverence and obey the laws of our beloved land, whose laws we ourselves | have made.
