This means faithful and sys- tematic study of social, economic and ethical problems and an honest pur- pose to abide by the truth, regardless of the social ostracism sure to follow.” Mrs. M. Selander, Minot, N. D.— “Our first aim should be to learn to use the ballot intelligently. This can be done only by strong organization, which in turn demands education to sustain itself. Let us study the meth- Did A. C. Townley (Continued from page 5) vs. McConnell, the court not only held that the defendant had a right to ad- dress the jury in his own behalf but . added that he should be held. less strictly to the legal rules than a law- yer addressing the jury. The only comment the Minnesota supreme court makes on ‘this ruling, which is the only American precedent, is: “We are not inclined to follow it under the special facts in this case.” Because of the failure of the court to allow Mr. Townley to address the jury, the case went to the jury with- out any argument on the part of the The case also went to the jury without any instructions to the jury requested by the defense. In- structions requested by the defense were handed to the judge during the argument of the case. is no specific provision in the statutes or in previous decisions regarding the time for handing in such instructions, the supreme court ruled that because instructions in civil cases must be handed to the judge before arguments begin, the same rule would be follow- ed in this criminal case. The defense asked for separate trials for Mr. Townley and Mr. Gil- bert, on the ground that Mr. Gilbert had previously been convicted of another offense in the same county and that it prejudiced Mr. Townley to have the men tried together. Judge Dean refused this request and the supreme court rules that while it would have been legal to have granted it the judge was within his rights in refusing it. # The “star witness” against Mr. Townley was one Ferdinand Teigen, formerly an organizer of the League but discharged after he had been in- dicted by federal authorities for dis- loyalty. He had also been arrested for embezzlement and Prosecutor Nicholas sent money to Fond du Lac, ‘Wis., where he was in jail, to get him to come to testify. Not only was Teigen hostile to the defense betause of these facts, but he had been em- ployed and paid large sums of money by anti-League forces to write a book against the League and to do other work. In their attempts to show these facts and thus impeach Teigen’s testi- mony the defense’ was blocked at every turn by Judge Dean’s ruling's; E DID SUPREME COURT READ THE RECORD? As one instance of this it may be cited that during Teigen’s cross-ex- amination he was asked if he had talked with a man named “William B. Anderson.” The attorney for Mr. Townley then corrected himself and said, “William A. Anderson, or possi- bly I have the initial wrong,”. later identifying him as “William Ander- son, a lawyer of Minneapolis, who was a candidate for the office of justice of the supreme court.” William A. Anderson, a Minneapolis - lawyer, who had been a candidate for justice of the supreme court, was later called as a witness. Judge Dean re- fused to let him testify, on the ground _in the question to Teigen. Although there « od of organization used by our staunch League men. The big work for the League women,as it was for the men, is to increase membership—to organ- ize and educate ourselves politically.” Tena Schwartz, Eagle Bend, Minn. —*“Organize a club in every city ward, in every small town and in every township in every state in the Union. Bind the wives of laborers and farm- ers together so they may see that pro- ducer and consumer must work hand in hand to make the route between the two a little shorter.” Have a Fair Trial? that he was not the man referred to The su- preme court says, in excusing Judge Dean for ruling this testimony out, “It developed that he was not the An- derson referred to when defendants were laying their foundation for im- peachment.” Mr. Anderson was ready to testify that Teigen had told him he had been promised $10,000 by the anti-League committee in St. Paul for his book against the League. He was not al- lowed to testify because he had first . been referred to as “William B. An- derson,” although the attorney had then corrected himself and had given the correct initial and <had further identified him as having been a candi- date for the supreme court.
