COUPLE
League, met Saturday nfternooii with
I'isirict 'Attorney George Neuner Jr..
spokesman for the county court, re
. garding the proosed plans for a new
; court house. Following a lour of In
' spection through the present court
i lii.use and the Jail, the committee
J n;:nid as one that it was impractical
to consider rebuilding the structures
and decided the only action for the
best interests of the county was to
i consider the construction of a new
building, either salvaging the old one
or letting It Btund to be used for other
purposes.
The rhalrman of the committee
meeting, R. A. Hersher, called for
oi'lulons of tho various members and
all spore in favor of a new building,
but stressed the necessity of raising
the funds before the construction was
started.
A motion was made and carried re
questing the chairman to appoint two
committees, one on the Jail and Ihe
oilier on the court house to secure
figures and Information as to the ex
pense of remodeling the buildings lo
make it suitable for use for four or
five years, while funds are being
raided to start the new building. The
committee to secure figures on the
jril consists of John rtusenbiapk. A. C.
Marslers and I. K. Kruger. The court
house riMutnlttee Is composed of J. H.
Rooth, Harry Pargeter and R. R.
Clarke.
The two committees will report
back on April 7th, at which time the
conniiitlee will take final action on
the recommendations they expect to
make to the county court.
The count v Jail was thoroughly In
spected by the committee and all the
members condemned the present con
dition of the building. The dim lighted

Judge Charles E. White declared he
would block further attempts to delay
the trial, as he had already granted
two postponements.
Federal officials learned early last
summer, through secret agents in
Russia and Germany, that the Ameri
can branch of the Communist party,
was planning a gigantic convention.
Secret agents here worked for
mon'hs In an effort to gather Informa
tion regarding the convention. Much
of the credit for discovery of the
meeting place was given to Francis
Ashworth, federal operative, who Join
ed the Communist party and was ap
pointed a delegate to the convention.
He notified his superiors that the
convention was to be held at wring-
man. August 2

rived here to look the ground over.
The Communists had selected a se
