Richardson commended that though these
u~tterances were admitted in evidence in
the Spies case they we're admitted because

Specific crimes upon their followers. while

senator Borah replied that some OF the
Miners Nd00siHe articles urged he miners

contention that If they merely showed n
state Of mind on the part of the Z ederation's
heads that mighr reasonably form one
predicate Of he conspiracy that the State
is charging. then they we're clearly ad-
missible.
