H. Brown, secretary ot the organization. In her statement today Mrs. Mar tin declared that th "Good Govern ment Congress" retained 8000 mem bers. In contradiction, there" Is posi tive proof of wholesale withdrawal!. Evidence Indicates that the bona fide membership at no time exceeded 800. The withdrawals started with the ballot theft, and were speeded by Banks' revolutionary talk on the courthouse steps. The wanton slay ing of Constable Prescott yesterday caused a widespread revulsion oi reel ing against the "congress," Its lead ers and all Its works. Pacers found In possession of C. H Brown show that the collection of "funos" was fairly profitable. One day's proceeds were 839.60. The list of contributors Is being checked, sev. eral are known to have been regular customers at the county commissary, Mrs. Martin has been a firebrand figure In the recent agitation of the "Good Government congress" ieaa ers. She presided at all meetings. She attempted to buggy-whip Editor Hall of the Jacksonville Miner, pro posed a boycott of all local merchants and was a commanding figure In the many conferences at Banks home. She was a frequent untlnvlted wit ness before the grand Jury of which William T. Grieve was foreman. In her l&st public appearance, on March 8, on the courthouse steps, she con doned the ballot thefts with the claim "they should have been destroyed long ago," and Intimated thta the . brazen and bungled crime was com mitted to "cover up liquor dlsap pearances." State police today were searching for "congressmen" on warrants cnarg- lng criminal syndicalism. A sheaf of warrants have been made out for service For the most part, they are said to be for "courthouse guards" and agitators. Many made the court- hou-e their dally rendezvous, and were "cheer leaders' at all demon strations. None were around the courthouse this morning. , Authorities report general "hiding out." IS HELD AS WITNESS IN BANKS PLANS State police announced today that they were holding Mrs. Arthur la- Dleu as a material witness in the slaying of Constable George Prescott by L. A. Banks, yesterday. The au thorities also said "that several new angles are developing in the case, which are being scrutinized closely for leads The authorities refused to divulge the nature of the "angles," or to deny or confirm a query that a "confer ence" was held at the Banks home a night or so before the murder. The Banks home is known to have been under survellance since the threat of a "revolution," and the names of those who attended "the vital conferences" known. Mrs. La Dleu was arrested yester day when she appeared at the city police station, and asked to see her husband, held on a ballot theft in dictment. She expressed satisfaction. it Is alleged, at the murder of Con stable Prescott and to have told Of ficer Cave "you will get yours." 4 General Kng Dies MILWAUKEE, Wis., March 17v (AP) General Charles King, 83. dis tinguished soldier and author, died today at his home in a Milwaukee hotel. (Continued trom Page One) The issue is plain. It can't be dodged or side-stepped. As this paper called on the people of this community over a month ago to AWAKE, to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED, we now call on them again. fa ND as we declared then, the call is NOT for violence, NOT to return lawlessness with more lawlessness, we need no secret vigilantes, no table pounding agitation all we need is what the Mail Tribune knows we have. AN AKOUSED AND MILITANT CITIZENSHIP. A citizenship that will support the law enforcement officials we now have; that will stand 100 percent behind constituted authority and the government under which we live; that won't rest, or pause, until this section of Oregon, from Ashland to Rogue River and from the Applegate to Rosy Anne, is cleaned up and freed of these ballot burners, horsewhippers and mur derersand cleaned up and freed of them FOREVkK ! INDICTMENTS FOR F (Continued from Page One) accompanied Constable Prescott, de nies that any letters were handed to the slain officer, as Mrs. Banks charges. The state will also show that Banks was warned n a telephone message that he had been Indicted, and that a warrant would be served. The au thorities last evening questioned Ja net Ouches, his secretary, regarding what she knew concerning the trag edy and events leading to it. Banks and his wife, In interviews yesterday, both attempted to Justify their actions, and Banks condoned the murder by setting forth the plea he was "acting In defense of his home." Mrs. La IMeu Tearful In the ordinary course of court procedure, Banks and co-defendants would be brought to trial within two weeks, but It it expected that every possible legal delay will be In voked by the slayer. The grand Jury will also consider the case of Mrs. Arthur La Dleu, ar rested yesterday in the police station when she rushed to tell her husband, held as a ballot burner, that Prescott had been killed. She la alleged to have expressed satisfaction at the murder and to have told Officer Cave "And you will get yours." Mrs. La Deu wept at her Imprisonment.
