In this issue is published the story (
of the revelations concerning this s
man Oxman who quite evidently was <
the tool of the prosecution which i
in turn prostituted itself to the
service of much higher-ups in San i
Francisco. 1
Oxman is a dangerous man. But i
the punishment of Oxman can be i
used, and an effort will be made
to use it, for the purpose of quash
ing the whole case against those foi
whom he was merely the tool.
It is quite evident that this case
is only exposed by chance. One lone
man refused to be party of the murd
erous intent of the rest and his re
fusal sent the whole conspiracy
tumbling.
Well may labor ask what of those
cases which had no such fortunate
an ending? What of those multi
tudinous cases whereby the great
detective agencies reaped enormous
monies and delivered the goods w ith
out a flaw?
Cannot anyone see that it was
because of the fact that less experi
enced men than the professional
convictors took a hand in the effort
to hang these men, the case fell
through?
They did well enough. They se
cured the conviction of two men.
Billings has started on his sentence
for. life in the penitentiary. He
wears a convict’s garb and had al
ready given involuntary service to
the state in expiation for a crime
in* never commiiieu.
is now under the sentence of death
the date of execution has been
set. The jtir^ declared upon the
perjured testimony that lie was
guilty, although Cochran warned
them that they "would not dare
hang Spreeltels dog or Crockers cat
upon such testimony”. It takes
little to persuade some juries of the
guilt of union men.
Quite recently union men were
arrested charged with planting
bombs in the New York subway.
There had been a strike and far
and wide the fact was heralded of
the strikers' guilt. The case fizzled
out when the facts showed no con
nection could be worked up against
the arrested men. The plot had
seriously miscarried.
But suppose professional men had
charge of this. Suppose the great
detective agencies with their profes
sional methods had worked months
in securing a convction: had spent
thousands in making, learning,
teaching witnesses—then we can all
see what the workers would he up
against.
That is how detectives must live.
Their profession presupposes the ex
istence of crime. If there is none
it is up to them to manufacture it.
And when it is published they have
to saddle it upon someone. Under
ordinary conditions skilled men can
erect a case against any man which
it will be impossible to smash down,
it is true that with competent
sinews of war an innocent man may
put up a battle which will subject
the strongest case to severe test and
may be succeed in breaking it down.
But against the wholesale plots that
have been conspired against union
men the workers have not funds
enough to fight those who have
everything at their disposal.
Even an honest prosecution is in
terested in conviction and not in the
establishment of the guilt or inno
cence of the accused. We all know
that; and more often than not, in
order to prevent the victim slipping
from their hands they unite with
the private agencies to fasten guilt
squarely upon the man they want to
“get”.
Prosecuting attorneys usually
-seeking re-election or re-appoint
ment make use of their convictions
as a boost. Here was Fleckert who
expected to be governor because he
succeeded in railroading these men
charged wth bombing the prepared
ness parade. And other examples
can be cited. Moreover the whole
iress leaps into the breach to fasten
;uilt upon the arrested men. The
letectives give out alleged confes
ions. They give the papers details
if their admissions and these are
ictually published broadcast.
Take the case of Billings, one oi
he leading San Francisco dailies
mblished the fact that Billings wab
me of the men who had as an
marchist partaken in the Hay
narket riots in Chicago when as a
natter of fact the boy was not even
lorn then. Two papers published
he story given them by interested
jfficials that Mooney and his wife
iiad confessed and even Weinberg
had made damaging admissions.
On the witness stand during the
trials it was proved that tlies^were
faked everyone of them, yet not
a single paper apparently has ever
contradicted the untrue stories they
published.
That the jury was amenable to
the influence of the District At
torney is only too clear. Fifteen
men representing the press bad
stated that a verdict of not guilty
would be returned and the San
Francisco Call had actually that
headline set up and -had to get a
double confirmation of the convic
tion before it would change the
headlines.
In the effort to suppress labor or
ganization and the radical element
of the country apparently no'meas
ure is too vile and that is why we
say it matters very little about the
punishment of the Oxmans, but the
real thing to be desired is the con
vietion of the Higher-UTs.
It is those that are the reall>
guilty ones and whose slush func
served to convert the legal rnachin
ery into a sling shot to slug tin
workers into subaission. These
are the so-called law and order of
licials who have set the institution:
of the land in contempt, and thi
ravings of this poor tool Fiecker
with his anxiety to be governoi
about the insult to the flag that In
was there and then desecrating, ai
no radicals ever attempted to dese
crate it, are only the puny effort:
to hide the felony that he was as
sisting in.
COMMUNICATED.
To- The Editor, Industrial Worker
Dear Sir:—Governor Strong's re
ply to a “certain telegram”, sen
him dealing with a “certain resolu
tion passed at the patriotic demon
stration”, has occasioned specula
tion. Since the wire to the Gover
nor has not been published man
are curiously anxious to see its com
position. The Governor has in hi
reply indicated that he received in
formation that the recent mas
meeting indulged in “expressions o
confidence” towards him and he ex
tends his “personal appreciate
therefor". Now it further appear
from Governor Strong's reply tha
"sjtucone has grossly and malicious
ly misrepresented the facts’ an
attempted to create a political lial
from the patriotic demonstration c
Nome’s citizens. No “loyal and ps
triotic citizen’' would resort to sue
black perfidy as padding the recor
of the recent mass meeting. Bu
there is a strong current of publi
opinion, based upon the evidtnc
at hand that deceptious offlclt
hucksters or political buffoons hav
sent out a misleading report for u
lerior purposes. This view may b
confirmed or proven erroneous whe
the telegram sent the Governor i
published as it eventually will b<
Its publication will be of greate
interest to the public than the It
bored narrative of incidents relt
tve to its dispatch tinctured wit
a biographical sketch and endin
with an outburst of martial fervoi
