The Jury brought in general YER
dict. The defendants sat with faces
! grim and set.
| A light of happiness was on Buck,
ley and seiffert's faces. Wachmeis-
ter of Detroit, Michigan, cried like
baby at the verdict.
In the Court room there was en-
acted among the defendants wives
and relatives scene of tragic GRIEF
all within thirty-fve minutes today.
The verdict tore a jagged hole In
the organization of the international
Iron Workers Union because it put
their principal officers including
President Frank NJ. Ryan in jail.
John T. Butler of Buffalo, first vice
president, Phillip Cooley of New Or
leans and Micheal Young all Boston
members of the Executive Board
were among the other officials trap
ped. Court adjourned until noon
Monday when 1t was believed the
men will be given an opportunity to
appeal which was refused them today
President Ryan said this will not
cripple the union. The work will be
carried on just the same under other
officials in case an appeal is I'M
valuable from this verdict. Judge
Anderson refused to poll the jury for
the defense declaring he had done it
privately and that 1t would take too
long to do 1t again. Eugene Cluny
and Olaf Tvietmoes the Pacific Coast
defense accepted the conviction stol-
idly. Tyietmoes only indication of
being moved by what he heard was
his trick of pulling piece after piece
Iof paper from his pockets neryously
tearing them to bits and then scat
scattering them on the floor about
him. Marshall Smith announced to
the denfense that he would give
those whose wives were here an OPP
Iportunity to talk and visit with them

MECHANICAL probably Monday. In a
possession reaching over two city
squares, marching through the gutter
made in the crowd of thousands who
lined the quarter mile of the way the
thirty.eight convicted defendants
tramped with measured tread to the
county Jail. They were led by the
local police forces and Marshall
ISchmidt gave a salute to county sher-
iff Waessner at the front stone en-.
trance of the Jail. The men we're
manacled each to deputy marshal
Many of the convicted men objected
to have the manacle placed upon their
wrists but conceded when Marshal
Schmidt declared II necessary. Ed
Smythe of Peoria and a few others
took the entire proceedings as a joke
as they marched along through the
Ierowded streets. The windows, bal,
comics and Creyices we're filled with
craned necks. Along teh path of the
procession were business men and
little boys and old women weeping
Isilently.
