the light of a personal affront.

Upon receipt of their applications the
board of directors then announced,
through the secretary, that no more

Unless the action of the board of

The belief here is general that

The jury hearing the argument in
the Flynn case was out less than 20
minutes when it returned a verdict
of guilty as indicted, and the woman
was Immediately sentenced to serve
three months in the county jail.
AS the import of the sentence
dawned upon her, Miss Flynn was
for the moment stunned. When she
had sufficiently recovered her COM
posure she resuested that Attorney
Darrow be Immediately asked to
come to this city in her defense.
This is cruel, inhuman and un-
just" she said as she was being led
fro mthe court room. Il will take
this case to the United States SUI

possible for one to get justice in this
country l will get it there"
Fred II. Moore, who defended Miss
Flynn, was bitter in his denunciation
of the verdict
1T was not in accordance with the
constitution" he said. THE con-
stitution of the United States permits
free speech and Miss Flynn's conyic-
tion certainly was a miscarriage of
justice"
In his address to the jury, Moore
declared that the battle OF Bunker
Hill had been fought under a red
flag and that the flag of the United
States was a red flag having stars
and stripes merely to designate the
the states.
Leaders among the socialistic move
ment of Spokane were called to the
stand during the trial of Miss Flynn
and asked to explain the meaning
of their songs, rituals and the red
flag. Many of those summoned to
the court room refused to testify.
