ris cael THE WEATHER - Unsettied. THIRTY-NINTH YEAR. a \ SOCIALISTS TELL WHY MRS. O'HARE WAS CONVICTED Declare Phelan Fight on Mrs. Totten Was Key to Whole Sedition Case Tried Here AMIDON SPIRITED AWAY Pamphlet Issued at St. Louis Says Wade Was Brought in Because He Hated Reds ee ant St, Louis, Mo., April 7—Pamphlets circulated here entitled, “The Truth About the O'Hare Case,” assert that Kate Richards O’Hare, a member of the committee which ‘drew the resolu- | tions adopted here in July, 1917, by the national convention of American socialists, censuring America’s en- trance in the world war, was sacri- ficed to enable James E. Phelan, a Bowman banker, to cause the removal of Mrs. Lillian Totten as postmistress at Bawman. It is also alleged that Judge Ami- don was suddenly replaced by Judge Martin J: Wade of Des Moines, lal, an old associate of Phelan’s, and well known to be an outspoken opponent of socilaism. It is further charged that the jury was 80 percent composed of businessmen opponents of the Non- partisan league; that James C. James, one of the principal witnesses for the government, was a political protege of Phelan’s, and that Dr. W. H. Whitte- more, another witness for the govern- ment, was a Phelan political adherent, and George Olson, a third government witness, an employe of Phelan’s. It is further alleged that eight wit- nesses swore that Mrs. O’Hare did not make the statements attributed to her, and that it was and is the gen- eral belief in North Dakota that Mrs. O’Hare was not guilty. foe CHARGES DISTORTED A imajority of the charges made ‘in| the socialist pamphlet referred to in the above St. Louis dispatch, are de- clared here to be unfounded. James E. Phelan did not secure the removal of Mrs, Totten as postmistress. Soon| after the Bowman lecture of Mrs. O'Hare, and her entertainment by the Tottens, Phelan did file charges with Senator McCumber, and the matter was brought up in the senate, but the minority member did not have suffi- cient influence with his democratic colleagues to secure the removal of Mrs. Totten. Nrs. Totten remained postmistiess at Bowman until some weeks following the trial and'convic- tion of Mrs. O’Hare, when the Bow- than woman. was removed upon charges preferred by U. S, Marshal} 8. 2, Doyle of Fargo, and substantiat ed by a transcript of the evidence in- troduced in the O’Hare trial. It is true that Phelan was among those who testified before the grand: jury which indicted Mrs. O'Hare, it is said, but he did not appear as a witness at her trial.’ GLEN ULLIN MAN.
