who was convicted on June of mai
practice, which caused the death of Mrs.

fenced by Judge Blair this morning to
three years at hard labor in State Prison

Judge Blair said
'sYou have been convicted of most
serious crime and it is unnecessary for
me to say that the Court is entirely
satisfied with the verdict of the jury. The
sentence l am about to pronounce is not
more severe than is justified by the char
acter of the crime. Such crimes as you
have been convicted of are stigma upon
the community and must be stamped out
at all COSTS"
When sentence had been pronounced
Mrs. Schweishelm uttered a piercing
scream and cried out in German, "Oh
loving God I am not guilty, | am not
guilty! The woman murdered herself!'
Then she became hysterical and was car
ried out of court by three constables.

The petition filed In the Circuit Court
of the United States, asking for hapeas

of the fact that he had been tried by

challenges. This point had been maoe
before. but the Supreme Court the
Tinted states did not consider 1t, because
the State courts at that time had never

the question came directly before the

In addition a point was made which has
not been made before in the case. The
affidavits of Clifford's counsel, Judge
Hoffman and william H. Speer, Jr., show
that Clifford was not present at the strik-
ing of the jury, and the Supreme Court
of the United States has held that it was
the constitutional right of the accused to
be present at every important step in his
case and particularly at the selection and
impanelling of the jury.

any grievance and had they come to him
and stated their grievances, real or
