JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES JAILED IN ALEXANDRIA AS FUND SOLICITORS __(Continued From First Page) stance where we solicited funds. We are a charitable organization. What our members were doing in Alex- andria was this: They were there to distribute cards for the convention of held in Washington May 29 to June 3, 1935, & convention that has the ap- proval of the Board of Trade with which we are working. These cards were being distributed in Alexandria for the purpose of bringing trade to that city—to find out who had rooms to rent, how many rooms, and the rate per person. We expect 20,000 delegates to the convention. “While the nine Jehovah's Witnesses were distributing these cards they also gave away tracts—which is in the nature of preaching the gospel. Through our society we preach the gospel over the radio and by the printed word. We are organized in 78 countries and our headquarters | are in Brooklyn, N. Y.” Koerber cited ordinance, 119, under Jehovah’'s Witnesses which will be | which the nine Jehovah's Witnesses were arrested, as “an ordinance vro-‘ hibiting begging and soliciting 'n the City of Alexandria, which states that no one shall ‘zolicit money or other things of value cn or upon the streets or other public ways of the city or from house to’house without a writ- ten permit from the city manager.’” Invoke Jefferson Principle. ‘With a transcript of the court pro- ceedings in front of him, Koerber said that Sergt. Eberly, who made tne ar- rest, told Judge Duncan that the five men and four women “wouldn't get a permit. Said they didn’t need one in the Church of St. Joseph, or something like that.” “We do not want to injure or hurt anybody,” said Koerber. “It is against our principies.

Thomas Jefferson laid down that principle in Virginia—and it is also in the Constitution.” Another insult added to the injury of arrest, he said, was when the nine Jehovah's Witnesses were forced to be vaccinated in the Alexandria Jail. One of the witnesses, Beatrice Ken- dall, is 72 years of age, and Koerber feared for her health because of this forced vaccination. “On top of that,” he said, “we do not believe in vaccina- tion.
