Taylor Aided in Fight for Liberty by Washington Officials Taylor fought extradition after the sheriff arrived in Wenatchee and was soon aided by the attorney general and governor there. . The law holds that he could be brought back if "there is no lawful excuse for the alleged crime." Tay-- lor offered asw his excuse that he had been injured some time ago in an accident and was unable to The first extradition papers dis-- patched to Wenatchee carried a date which held that the alleged crime took place about three months and a half after his arrival in Washington. New papers were sent but Taylor, whom the sheriff was unable to see, had fled further west. He is still fighting the case. KILLED BY TRAIN AFTER VISIT TO SWEETHEART Prorok was struck by a northbound train which was traveling at a fast clip, not being scheduled to stop in Waukegan. The engineer brought his train to a stop as soon as pos-- sible and the man was picked up by the crew. The Wetzel & Peter-- son ambulance was summoned. Mr. Petersen said Monday that Por rok was cut and bruised from head to foot and died as he reached the hospital. One of his legs was bad-- ly crushed, skull was fractured and his back gashed. Mrs. Maria C. Wilson was an hon-- ored guest Friday evening at the Sist anniversary of the Chicago O. E. S. Caapter of which she has been a member for 26 years. A Washing-- ton party was given and charter members and the older members of the chapter were its guests A de-- licious banquet was served. It is thought that in his anxiety to make his train, he failed to no-- tice the northbound train. He told Chief Tyrrell today that the Zion City police did not give him any satisfaction which account-- ed for him eoming here to make a personal 'report: Age 41, height 5 feet 6 inches, weight 165 pounds, attired in a black Wat and fur coat. Mr. MceDonald said x: his wife had about $10 when e left for Waukegan. that he was to come home. He phoned a relative, where she usually visited in Chicago Sunday after-- noon, and was told that his wife had _ not been _ there. Becoming alarmed he reported the matter to the police in Zion City. A description of the woman fur-- nished the police follows: "Attorney Berger told the jury that if they found Mr. Voliva guilty they would brand as liars all those witnesses who testified for him-- and they found him guilty. They did not believe those witnesses who 'm-re driven into court to testify at the command of their master. "I want to say to Mr. Nelson what I have said to him before, in the presence of this great company of people, that so long as he fights hard and fights clean I will stand by his side until the complete vic-- | tory is won against the tyranny of {the Crar of Zion City. | _ '"This man is fighting our battles \for us, and it would be too bad to 'let him fight alone.

When justice has its full sway--when those whom h« has oppressed have spoken, this man will find his castle falling about tMl head and his power broken. "Wilbur Glenn Voliva has fought every man and every force that has not agreed with his view om things from the day that he ianded in I!li-- nots until the present hour," deciar-- ed Rev. Kelley, "and when the worm had turned and fought back he has raised the cry--let us alone. LET ME ALONE; CRIES OHORD AS KINGDOM TUMBLES INTO RUINS Rev. Charles C. Kelley of the First Methodist church struck a re-- sponsive chord in #he hearts of his audience, which numbered nearly a thousand, last night when he pre-- sented Voliva and his coherts in their true light. "It has ever been the ery of those who are doing wrong--let us alone. When Abraham Lincoln struck at human slavery, what a ery arose from a -- million voices--voices of those who lived by the blood of their fellowmen--a ery that was heard around the world. The buyers and sellers of human flesh wanted to be let alone." -- Rev. Kelley then ran through some of the acts of the Zion over-- lord, and nominated ol Smith for the next circuit judge of Lake county. "Voliva," declared the pastor bas brought men and women and children from the four corners of the earth, taken their land and thei: money, and left them with nothing but sorrow Snd a promissory note. "When any man or woman has had the courage to stand for his rights, no matter how just, he has said to them if you do not like to be skinned get out of Zion.
