COSHOCTON, OHIO, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1932. Hitler THREE CENTS to Oust Von Papen PROPER LEGAL HELP DENIED, COURT RULES Highest Jnrists Claim Younj Negroes Were Not Afforded Fair Alabama Trial COPS ROUT COMMUNISTS Police Arrest Five of Rioters Who March on Grounds of U. S. Capitol WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.

--The supreme court today the conviction and death sentences of seven young Negroea convicted at Scottsboro, of assaulting two white girls. The opinion in the case, which has attracted wide attention was read after police had repulsed radicals attempting a demonstration on the capitol plaza. The decision was 7 to 2 with Justices Butler and McReynolds dissenting. The case was remanded to the state courts "for proceedings not Inconsistent with this opinion." A new trial can be ordered. Justice Sutherland scored the trial court for failing to provide proper legal aid for the negroes.

Failure of courts to provide proper legal aid in cases where crimes are punishable by death are "little short of judicial murder," he said. The high court, he said, set aside the conviction on this one contention alone. Justice Sutherland delivered the opinion. Justice Butler declared that the whole record In. the case showed that the Negroes were given proper legal aid.

Four different trials were held and one Negro was acquitted, he said. By holding four trials the court lessened the chance of mistake. He said there was "not the slightest ground" to show that the two lawyers for the Negroes did not properly defend them. In appealing to the high court, counsel for the negroes contended that they were denied a fair trial, a contention vigorously denied by spokesmen for the state of Alabama. The Negroes' counsel alleged that the National Guard was on duty during the trial, that Negroes were excluded from the jury panel, that they were not given proper defense assistance, that newspapers Inflamed the populace which crowded Scottsboro and that the whole trial was conducted under threat of mob violence.

Denying this, Attorney General Knight of Alabama said that reputable members of the bar were named as lawyers for the Negroes, that crowds had ample opportunity to lynch the Negroes when taken but made no attempt to do so, that Negroes were not systematically excluded from jury service and that the sheriff summoned the National Guard a result of over caution. The alleged crime was committed on a gondola freight car, it being alleged that a crowd of Negroes threw white boys off and then attacked the girls, who were clad In overalls. In questioning the girls' story, counsel for the Negroes said that they were neither nervous or hysterical an hour and a half after the alleged crime. The Negroes, said to range in age from 14 to 19 at the time of trial, were Ozie Powell, Willie Robenton, Andy Wright, Olen Montgomery, Haywood Patterson, Charlie Weems and Clarence Norris. Nine boys were originally Indicted.

A mistrial resulted in the case of Roy Wright, 14, and the death sentence of Eugene Williams was re- Contlnued on Page Eight THE TEMPERATURES (Hourly temperatures are obtained dally from the local sub-station of the Ohio Power Company) 1 a. 46; 2 a. 46; 3 a. 46; 4 a. 46; 5 a 46: 6 a.

The president denounced the Democratic tactics in no uncertain terms.

He declared that all of the charges lodged, against him were baseless and countered with the suggestion that most of the promises made by Governor Roosevelt could not be eventuated--or else were in accord with proposals already made from the White House. Application of the Democratic program, the president said, would destroy those principles upon which the nation was based and force America to Join the "decaying nations" of th 0 world Turning to the topics which most interest this section of the country, Mr. Hoover denounced Governor Roosevelt for his evasions on the Continued on Page Seven Local Resident Dies as Result Pneumonia Mrs Katherine Parry, aged 78, widow of William Parry, died at 7.10 a. m.

DEUSS I. N. S. Statf Correspondent. BERLIN, Nov.

7. Adolf Hitler, spurred to action by heavy losses for his National Socialist party (Nazis) In the reichstag elections. Issued a fighting manifesto today announcing an unrelenting battle to force Chancellor Franz Von Papen out of office. The fiery Nazi leader claimed Von Papen was defeated at the polls despite the gains for the Nationalists, declaring the chancellor had the backing of only ten per cent of the nation. Hitler blamed Von Papen and his administration of the government as the direct cause of the great Communist thruout the country.

The statement came from Munich headquarters of the Nazis, and announced a bitter fight would be waged until Von Papen was out of public life. After hearing strong rumors that Adolf Hitler's storm troops, Indignant at their poor showing at the polls, were planning a march on Berlin, the government ordered troops held In readiness. Another cause for serious alarm was that the Communists, who emerged as the strongest party In Berlin, proclaimed an intensification of the Berlin transportation strike, which already has paralyzed ths city for several days. Hitler's Nazis lost 35 relchstag seats in the elections. Jt was the first time since formation of the party that it had failed to register gains at the polls.

Polling only 11,000,000 of the 13,700,000 votes they garnered in July, the election generally was interpreted as the death knell of the Hitler movement. The Communist, on the other hand, staged wide gains thruout the rclch and won 11 new reichstag seats.
