The accused plead- ed not guilty and elected to be tried in a higher court. He was released on bail of $1,000. The letter which Harry OC. Felk- er is alleged to have confessed he wrote was signed "The Silent Six," and was done as a joke, so polica sald the accused told them when they arrested him. The letter, pro- duced as evidence, follows: "Strangling is our Method" "Perhaps you remember getting me to sign a contract eight years ago that caused me to lose all I had. Now you can make it good or die. Leave $500 in shack in stone quarry north of your farm by Mar. 23 or die a terrible death by March 30. '"Renrember, report this and you die. Strangling 1s our method.

Provin- cial Officers Walters and Cox testi- fied that when they went to the home of Harry C. Felker they dis- covered a writing pad of foolscap. The top hlank sheet on this pad when held at an angle to the light showed plain impressions of what had been written on the sheet that was ahove it, The officers sald they had no difficulty in reading the impressions or the blank sheet, and that it coincided with the note which Robert Felker had received. The officers swore that Harry Felker confessed to them he had written the threatening letter, but did it for 'a joke."

Mit- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1928 ADMISSION T0 U.S, SECURED ON WRITS Ontario Italians Circumvent Border Ruling--Road Open for 30,000 Niagara Falls, N.Y., April 5.-- United States Immigration Ruling 86, under which 30,000 foreign- born Canadian residents have been denied admission to the United States, angl which, after being de- clared {illegal by Federal courts, has been repeatedly enforced by American Immigration authorities, was circumvented here when nine Ttalian residents of Canada were admitted into this country on writs of habeas corpus secured by Pres- ton M. Albro, Buffalo lawyer, from Federal Judge John R Hazel. Two of the men were denied ad- mission to the United States Wed- nesday on the ground that the Federal authorities at Washington had not informed United States Immigration officials here of the Circuit Court declaration that Rul- ing 86 was illegal, and were sent back to Canada for quota visas. They refused to apply for these, since the whole point of controver- sy is that, inasmuch as Ruling 86 for quota visas exists, Inasmuch as the writs of habeas corpus were successful in gaining the admission of these men into the United States, the road for all the thousands of other horder com- muters into the United States to work is opened. A large number of Niagara Falls, Ont., residents who were born in foreign lands, plan to secure habeas corpus writs, and thus gain entrance to the United States, if Immigration au- thorities here continue to enforce the rule, > Writs for another batch of for- eign-born Canadian residents will be asked Saturday in an effort to establish the fundamental sound- ness of the method, The nine men, naturalized Cana- dlans, were working across the line before the new regulations went in- to effect.
