PATHETIC SCENES.
A remarkable scene in the struggle
Of the wives of the prisoners to reach
their husbands attended the senten'
ces. 1t was ordered that all the spec
tators should be cleared from the
court room and the prisoners be al
lowed to talk to members of their
families. Some Of the men made pleas
for mercy; others wept in the arms
OF their wives. But the court pro-
nounced the sentences, one by one'
regardless of the pleas.
Six men were given their liberty
through suspended sentences.
These included Edward Clark, OF
Cincinnati, the dynamiter who confes-
sed to blowing up bridge with the
help of Hockin. He had appeared as
a witness for the government.
Ortie E. McManigal, another confes-
.sed dynamiter, was not sentenced at
this time.
In some cases sentences of one
year and one day were imposed, so
that these men might be confined in
a federal prison Prisoners with terms
of less than one@year are kept in
county jails.
Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson
had many of the prisoners whom he
said he considered less guilty than the
rest brought before him to make state
ments. For an hour and half the
Judge thus, in conversational way,
talked with the prisoners, asking
them whether they believed in dyna-
hitting as a method of promoting
strike. All of the men professed in
nocence.
Il hope God will strike me dead,
pleaded one prisoner, but he was in
terrupted by the court.
Arrangements for taking the prison
ers to Leavenworth on special train
already had been made.
REQUIRE BUT TWO HOURS.
The entire proceedings in court to-
day required only two hours.
Before Judge Anderson passed SEN
tence he said he desired to read
statement. He then reviewed the his
tory of the dynamiting conspiracy. as
we'll as the evidence introduced, and
said:
"This scheme or campaign of dy
Mantle was entered into and carried
on throughout the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
1.-THE evidence disclosed an appall
ing list of crimes in addition to those
charged in the indictments. These
crimes were all committed in the
name of organized labor. will not
believe that organized labor approves
of such practices.
JUDGE FLAYS DYNAMiTERS.
ANY organization that approves
and adopts the methods of these de-
PENDANTS, is an outlaw and will meet
the fate which outlaws have met
