MACHEN MUST GO TO JAIL.
Supreme Court Decides Against Post,
GHce ConspiratorS.

Washington. D. C.-The Supreme
Court took away the last hope that A.
w. Machen. DR.. LorenZ. Diiler E. Croft
and Samuel Croft. his brother, may
have cherished that they would escape
punishment for conspiring to defraud
the Government in the sale of letter
box fasteners to the Postofice Depart
ment. The Court unanimously denied
the petition for a writ of certiorari to
the Court of Appeals Of the District
Of Columbia.
This action afirms the decision Of
the Court below and remove all posi-
bility of delay or interference with the
operation OF the sentence of the four
defendants to Imprisonment for q term
Of two years in the prison it Mounds
vile and the payment OF a heavy fine
each. All the defendants are now in
Washington on bail to the amount of
$4,000 for each. The attorney for
Machen said there would be no further
effort to secure any mitigation of the
sentence.
In the case Of Samuel Croft. the
inventor of the box fastener, who was
formerly q Washington policeman,
there will probably be an effort TO Sc
cure I pardon.
