Washington. Nov. 15.-The supreme court of the United States today pro- nounced the following sentences for contempt of the court in the cases of the men charged with conspiracy in the lynching Of the negro. Ed John son. on March 19, 1906, at Chattanooga, Tenn, while the prisoner was under stay of execution granted by the SUI preme court
 Sheriff James F. Shipp. 90 days inn prisonment; Deputy Sheriff Jeremiah Gibson. 50 days; Luther Williams. 90 gett 50 days; William Mayse, 50 days
 All of the defendants were in court when the sentence was pronounced.
 The six men sentenced today were found guilty of conspiracy in the lynching at Chattanooga, Tenn, on March 19, 1906 of Ed Johnson a negro rapist. in contempt of an oyder of the supreme court of the United States, issued at the instance of Justice liar land. staying the negro's execution ten days.
 After the lynching the Department of Justice brought the complaint against 27 men alleged to have participated in the jail attack and lynching- Among these were Sheriff James F. Shipp, De- putty Sheriff Jeremiah Dobson, Luth- CT Williams, Nick Nolan, Henry Pad gett. William Mayse. Deputy Sheriff Matt Galloway. Bart Justice and Frank Ward. The complaint was dis missed against the other IS men,
 On May 24. 1909. Shipp. Gibson. Will Hams Nolan. Padgett and Mayse were found guilty of contempt by the supreme court in divided opinion. the chief justice and Justices Harland, Brewer, Holmes and Day holding af- flrmatively and Justices Peckham. White and McKenna dissenting on the ground of failure of the evidence to substantiate conspiracy. Justice Peck ham delivered the dissenting opinion and it was mainly in view of his vii gorous expressions criticising the &C., tion of his colleagues in the case that the defendants asked for new trial. On Nov. l the court denied the peti- ton for rehearing and ordered the defendants brought to the bar for sen- tence on November 15.
 No case on record in jurisprudence has occasioned more interest among lawyers than this. In the south pub lie sentiment has been strongly on the side of the defendants.
