Louis Katzenbaeh. deputy sheriff, was next called. He said that he met Horsley ln the corridor of the court house and told him the board was going Into session and that he wanted Horsley to be present to instruct him. He said Horsley replied that the law la plain and that if any one doee not register, arrest him. i., 1

He said he mentipned this to Sheriff Dreher and Attorney Thomas Roach showed him the section of the statute requiring the prosecutors to instruct the boards.

The book was marked and Offered by the government as exhibit A. in 'the case.

Sheriff Drehef was next called and said that he oould not recall whether he made any effort to have Horsley to attend the sessions of the board. He said he had finally secured the service^ of Roach. He was finally asked if he'wanted Horsley to" attend the meeting of the board

and

Roy Yeager, one of the soldiers, who it was alleged heard Horsley curse the government and the president when he was asked to buy'tickets for the Company

benefit, was asked to detail-

the conversation, but the defense objected and was sustained. Here Judge Anderson remarked: "I have been so pestered with ticket sellers myself that I believe that nearly anything a man might yiy to them would be exousable."

Mrs. Florence Wynkoop was the i|ext witness called. She testified that on June 8, in the office of Dr. McCollister, a Terre Haute chiropractor, .she hs4 heard Horsley say: "The draft law is nothing but a damn political scheme to drive people Into tne army." She said she had known Horsley tor ten yeaVs.

District Attorney Slack at this Junetare said: "Considering the pronounced views of the court in this case, I consider it useless to offej further testimony."

Here Attorney James Cooper for the defense offered a( motion U* dlsnrlsi the case. •.

Judge Anderson said that It -appeared to him that there had been desire ftor Horsley's services before the boards,' that there had been no regu lar effort to have him 'instruct the boards and that he did not consider the testimony sustained the Indictment.

He said he would write the verdict of acquittal and ask the Jury to concur therin with him. "The national governments .cannot lay hands on state officials as such," declared Judge Anderson. ''It must lay hands on.cttt*fi^9 Qf th« XThtted. States as »uch/ a

Section 6 of the 'selective servld* law empowers the president to call on "state officers to help administer the act" and in the president's regulations "prosecuting attorneys shall act as legal advisers pt registrations boards in all matters touching the registration."

Horsley, It was charged, failed to perform this duty and his defense, though not called on ffcr proof, was that he did not set because the chairman of the registration board informed him another attorney $ad Deftn, obtained as adviser.

The government's evidence" according to Judge Anderson, failed to prove that Horsley had been called on by the board to serve, but that he had knowledge of the law, and that he had d}$\ approved of military conscription. 'It 111 a nasty thing to decline to serve," commented Judge Anderson, "and no decent citizen will decline."

The judge gave his opinion that the conscription law as a whole l£ ,yaU4, and he approved Its enactment.

of its attack to dropping a few gas shells into one or two towns within the American lines and shelling a cross roads known as "Death's during the day and night.'

Enter Qerman Lines. A

Last night American patrols entered the German front lines at two points but did not |iee a single enemy soldier although they hunted some time. AixJther patrol remained in the enemy wire entanglements all night, hoping to ambush an expected enemy party, but it did not appear. A third patrOl party was discovered by the Germans who hurled hand grenades and forced the Americans to withdraw. Still another established contact with an enemy patrol and a Mw shots were exchanged.

The Americans %ami ^thrtugh unscathed but it is not known what happened to the Germans. Many airplanes were up until it .began to rain at noon. One airplane ffrom the rear of the American line, drove off two Boche machines after a thrilling battle in and out of the clouds. Another airplane was engaged against a German w^en a second German joined in the fight. A second friendly airman came up to assist, but It was too late, for the airplane the Americans hoped would be victorious fell to the ground within the enemy lines.

On the sector east of Luneville, the artillery continues active and a few American patrols have reacneu the enemy lines. One party encountered an er.my patrol and forced the German to withdraw after a sharp skirmish.

A certain Irish regiment was bombarded heavily today with big shells. Reports from both the Lunneville and Toul sectors say that more German gas projectile batteries have been discovered and blown to bits by the American gunners. i

Lieutenant Green and Sergeants Norton and Walsh all have received the Frenph war cross, Norton and Walsh being decorated personally by Premier Clemenceau an March 3.

Lieutenant Green, an artillery officer, was wounded by shell fire early in March. Sergeant Norton, a veteran •in service, formerly resided ia Arkansas. He was decorated by Premier Clenence&u for his act in killing a

German lieutenant and two German soldiers. He was( challenged by the lieutenant to leave' his dugout &hd led out his men, fighting.

Sergeant Walsh, formerly of Chicago, also is a regular army veteran. His French' decoration was received for heriosm on the Toul sector. He took command of a detachment in front of the American wire entanglements when his captain was' killed and continued the fight. Sergeant Walsh wa& selected by General Pershing to act as orderly to Secretary of War Baker during his present vi/iAt to the American army in France.

ALBANY, N. Y., March 20^The New York assembly late Tuesday, by a vote of 110 to 35 decided to defer action indefinitely on all pending prohibition bills. The effect of this procedure, theleaders explained, i# to kill proposals either to ratify the federal prohibitory amendment or to provide for a state wide referendum on the subject, unless one or the other is passed by the senate. As the latest poll of the upper house showed only twenty-two proratiflcation votes when twenty-six are necessary for passage, the drys were pessiYnistic last night.

TAX SLACKERS TO FACE ACTIVE PfiOSECllTION

Citiie&i "Who Bail to File Beports Will Heet Eel^ntiewl an4 Vig--oroui Punishment.

WASHIXGTok^ March 20. Tax slackers who fail to file their income tax reports by April 1 will be prosecuted as vigorously and relentlessly under the war revenue act as draft slackers were under the selective service act, according to a statement mad4 today by Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of internal revenue. Revenue officers in every section of the country are checking up returns with a view to beginning prosecution against the dodgers. "Through its educational campaign, the bureau of internal revenue has endeavored to cover the field so thor-j otighly that ignorance of the latf cannot be corylntently offered as an excuse," said Commissioner Roper. "The men who i'ailed to register under the selective service act were regarded by the war department as slackers and prosecuted as such. The man who falls to file his income tax will be regarded as "money slacker* and when discovered, as he will be, will be made to suffer full penalties of the law. "To the credit of the nation, it may be said that I have gratifying and conclusive evidence that ..these income ta&s will be paid by the great majority of the American people cheer* "fully and willingly."
