SLAUGHTER NOT
HEIJKBY COURT
Judge Finds That. Chiroprac
tor Is Not Member of Rad
ical Labor Party
The case of the state against Dr.
A. Slaughter, well known Salem
chropractor, who was arrested Feb
ruary 6 by agents of the department
of justice, and charged with violat
ing the state syndicalism law. was
dismissed -yesterday afternoon, after
the court was convinced that the de
fendant was nor a member of the
communist labor party.
This was the first case of its kind
to be tried in the courts of Marion
county. Dr. Slaughter was charged
with being a member of the com
munist party, an alleged radical or
ganization, and that he had contrib
uted money for its support. The
first part of the trial was hearu
Tuesday afternoon, when most of
the time was consumed in reading
long messages and papers found in
the possession of Dr. Slaughter.
In rendering an opinion of dis
missing the case the court said:
"After careful perusal of the doc
umentary evidence submitted in this
case relating to the. program, plat
form and constitution of the Com
munist labor partyi and or the fact
that the case hinges on two ques
tions, whether the Communist labor
party advocates the use of violent
force to gain political ends, and
whether the defendant is a member
of that organization. The court is
of the opiaion that the Communist
labor party does advocate force and
violence in furthering its political
ends and that Dr. Slaughter, defend
ant in this case is not a member of
the Communist party."
Judge I'nruh then declared that
although Dr. Slaughter probably
contemplated affiliation with the
party, bis acts were hot sufficient to
bear out the-charge of' the prosecu
tion. Dr. Slaughter testified that in the
interest of the socialist organization
of the city he had attended the na
tional socialist convention in the
east about a year ago. when the Com
munist labor party was first given
birth. His opinion of the two parties
separately Is that the Communist
party "is what might be termed the
ultra radical element." and the Com
muist Labor party the "progressive
wing."
Dr. Slaughter was defended by I
H. McMahan who made many start
ling statements regarding the Com
munist and Communist Labor par
ties. Prosecuting Attorney Max
Gehlhar acted in behalf of the state.

Second Coming of Christ
Subject For Evangelist
Dr. Mabood preached last night
on "The Second Coming of Christ"
at the First Methodist, church . to a
crowded house from the words: "He
shall come in the clotida nf hnvn
and every eye shall behold him. and
mey mai nave pierced him." Ills
message was thoroughly scriptural
throughout and delivered with great
earnestness. It was a sane presenta
tion of a great troth and It made a
profound effect upon the great audi
ence. At the close of the service many
men in the congregation went for
ward and confessed Christ as their
Saviour.
Dr. Mahood is strong in his appeal
to men. and a significant phase of
the three weeks' campaign is the
number of men that have been con
verted. There are yet a few nights
left in which to hear this -man of
God. This afternoon at 3 o'clock he
will speak on: "Where and What Is
Heaven." Tonight his subject win
be:. "The Wonderful Christ. Thest
will be great meetings. Come early
and get a good seat. Good msslc,
good singing, and a good. time as
tarred to all. We most heartily wel
come everybody.
