severe hardship upon these men, who

and after making some extensive re-
marks, he fined the VIM. Ritter
Lumber Company the sum of $10,-

plea Of guilty to an Indictment re-
turned by the federal grand jury

AS the testimony in the celebrated

Dayton began his remarks. After
expressing his duty in this case to

he cOmDlimented the government
for the action taken in permitting a
plea Of guilty to be entered against

were guilty Of q technical violation
