Three Men Handcuffed.
The three convicted men were hand
.uffed to three deputy United States
marshals within is minutes of being
sentenced and we're taken to the
Tombs. A Today stay was granted to
enable their lawyers to carry the case
to the United tSates circuit court OF
appeals, during which time they will
remain in prison in New York.
If permission be obtained to appeal
and a further stay be granted by the
upper court, the men may be released
On bail, pending the argument OF the
appeal.
None Of the three broke down,
either during their sentence or when
they were handcuffed, an operation
which caused the most dramatic mo-
ments of the trial. Pale, the cold
sweat standing on their faces, the
guilty men were steadfast throughout
their ordeal.
When they were taken from the
courtroom and led down one of the
long corridors of the federal building,
each accomanied by deputy mar
shall, they talked. They were escorted
to the door of the deputy marshals'
room by their counsel and friends.
Here the lawyers shook hands with
them Then they passed into the dimly
lighted, desolate room and the big
loor was closed There was utter ST.

courtroom. Deputy marshals and a
Jew newspaper men were the only
others in the room.
