TEST CASE ON

Circuit Judge Morrow Tuesday dis
missed the test case brought by; Dep
uty District Attorney Bernard charg
ing. Henry Lameraux with "being a
member" of an organization advocat
ing criminal syndicalism and the dis
ruption of government. The jco'urt
held that simply being a member did
not constitute a violation of the state
criminal syndicalism act which states
the unlawfulness of "becoming" a
member. I .
This case ' probably will mean the re
lease - of the 24 : defendants - who have
been in the county jail for, months fol
lowing a raid on a Third street hall dur
ing a meeting of radicals. Several of
the original defendants have been con
victed. The others demanded postpone
ment of hearings until the L W, W. at
torney, George F. Vanderveer, could be
at liberty to defend them. ; V '
Inasmuch as Vanderveer has been en
gaged elsewhere, the trials have been
put off, Bernard finally obtaining a
place on the- docket for the test case.
The dismissal of the suit was ordered
following arguments on an oral demurrer
submitted by Vanderveer.
