"You picked the worst -kind of slander," Magistrate De Andrea told Kurts. "You leveled it at a noble religious sect. You were endeavoring to dissect America." The court said Kurts was a "rabble rouser" and a "menace to the American way of life," and added that the defendant real name wag Casimlr Kurdelskl.
