ments was for the conspiracy of which

A forecast of the result indicates a

that consigned his brother and business
associates TO the penitentiary.
Only one interruption was made in the
imposing OF sentences. That was by
John +. Kumler. the special counsel for
Lorenz. Mr.. Kumler In a broken voice
and trembling with emotion referred 10
the long and honorable business career
and unblemished reputation of Lorens,
and asked that the court show mercy.
Justice Pritchard merely bowed his head
TO MIR. Kumler. and then proceeded In
an utterly dispassionate voice to mete
out the punishment that had been made
the portion of Machen and was to be
the lot OF Croft
The prisoners were at once provided
with new sureties Of 10000 each. Col

WILL APPEAL CASE
TO HIGHER TRIBUNAL

Appeal I'm the Machen case will be
taken to the Court of Appeals on n
number of points which arose in the
trial. and the case will also be taken
10 the United States Supreme Court on
a writ of certiorari.
The principal ground on which it will
be taken to the Court Of Appeals is that
the prosecution was allowed to prove
the fruits of the conspiracy before the
conspiracy itself was proved.
This is an important point on which
the attorneys for the defendant say
there is no settled practice. and the de-
cision in this instance will be of interest
to attorneys all over the country.

impression seemed to be strong that
conviction in Washington would be al
most impossible. Even newspaper men
and lawyers who followed the case
closely doubted whether a conviction
could be secured and looked for mis-
trials

These circumstances convinced the in

reached Machen as the result Of a pre-
arranged agreement between all the
parties. On the sameA day. in April.
inspectors called on the two Grofs in
Washington. and Mr.. ana Mrs. Lorenz,
In Toledo. The Groffs were asked II
they knew the Lorenzes, and said they
did not. At almost the identical time
the Lorenzes. out in Toledo. were deny
ing that they knew the Groffs. George
Lorenz was especially uncommunicative,
saying that he supposed the inspectors
were seeking evidence against his friend
Machen. AID that ne would not give any
Information detrimental to that official
Diller Gron was seen again in May
and said he would stand by his first
statement Acting on this evidence, the
grand jury returned indictments, and
all the parties were arrested. The in
dictment was demurred to- but Justice
Pritchard overruled the demurrer, and
after two postponements. and was not
definitely concluded until sentence yes
terday. forty-seven days later.
The prosecution produced the books
Of the banks. the bank officers. and the
checks, drafts. and Treasury warrants
in the case. It's theory was that Lo-
REM met the Groffs at the prompting Of
Machen. and gave them to understand
that they could do no business with the

at Toledo. and was much Interested He
expressed a desire TO buy an interest In
the device. Sam Croft introduced him
to Diller. the business man OF the com
bination. and after some haggling To-
REM was given a half interest in the
profits on the fasteners sold TO the de-
partment upon the payment Of $500 and
the performance Of certain duties.
LorenZ, according to the defense, paid
$50 cash as an earnest on the bargain.
His duties were to go around among the
postmasters Of the country. persuade
them that no postmaster could be happy
without the S.rpn fastener, and persuade
them to ask the department 10 provide
the fasteners for their cities 1t was
proved at the trial that Lorenz met
Machen a month after this agreement
was made, and Machen told him that it
was useless to go around to see post
masters, as the department, or rather
Machen, had already decided TO buy as
many of them as the appropriations
would admit.
