STH WARD CASE
IS GIVEN INTO
HANDS OF JURY
Seven Defendants Accused of
Political Thuqgcrv Which
Caused a Killing
By Associated Press
West Chester. Aug. 14.—Philadel-I
phia's Fifth ward case went to the
jury to-day.
The trial, transferred here from]
Philadelphia on a change of venue!
asked by the defense, began July 15. |
The defendants, charged with con-,
spiracy to violate the Shern law.
prohibiting officeholders from par-i
ticipating in politics and to prevent!
a fair election are Isaac Deutsch. a
Fifth ward politician, who sought to
take >he leadership from James A.
Carey; David Bennett, lieutenant of
police of the Fifth ward and five po-!
iicemen under Bennett.
Deutsch and Carey were candi- 1
dates for the Republican nomination
for select council. Carey was a Pen- 1
rose-McNichol man and Deutsch
made his campaign on the supposed;
backing of the Vares and the admin-1
istration of Mayor Smith.
An attack on Carey's political club
the night before the primary elec
tion last September, and thuggery by i
giinn-.en from New York led to the
charges against the seven men just'
tried.
Gunmen blackjacked Carey and
Assistant District Attorney Maurer
on primary election day. George
Eppley. a policeman on special duty
in the ward to prevent disorder at
the polls, went to the rescue of Carey
and Maurer and was killed by a bul
let fired by a gunman.
Mayor Smith, indicted with the
"others, obtained a severance.
