Freed Under Suspended Sentence
Judge Reads Strong Statement.
Indianapolis, Dec 81. - The thirty
three labor leaders sentenced to pris-
on by Judge Anderson sang as they
marched through the streets from the
courthouse to the jail. They were to
start for Leavenworth In a few hours.
The final good-bys between the sem
fenced men and their wives and rela-
tives were said in an anteroom of the
marshaPs office in the courthouse.
The scene was more tearfully
pathetic than that of Monday morn
ing or OF Saturday, when the men
were found guilty. Mrs. Bernhard,
wife of the Cincinnati defendant, was
on the verge of nervous breakdown.
Mrs. Herbert HocNn was so dazed
and blind from crying that she re-
quired the whole attention of Mrs. An
ton Johannson of San Francisco, who
was herself in tears.
Men Sing; Women Weep.
The last farewells had hardly been
into the song, where Is My Wander.
ing Boy Tonight" 1t started new
tears from the eyes of the women now
leaning for support on the marble
walls of the corridors outside.
The leave-taking followed the pri-
vate lunch for the men and their
families. Most Of the food was left
untouched and the time was spent in
saying good-by.
A feature of the sentences that
brought relief to most of the men was
that the punishment did not carry
hard labor. 1t was remarked, too,
that no fines were imposed.
Following are the sentences as
made by Judge Anderson:

Statement by the Judge.
1.-TWO of the defendants in the case
McManigal and Clark, have pleaded
guilty and testified to their participa.
ton in and knowledge of the conspir.
acy and it's execution. The principal
of these is McManigal, whose story as
testified to upon the witness stand
was given in such manner as to, of
itself, carry conviction of its truth
But, in addition to this, his testimony
is corroborated by letters of the de-
PENDANTS; by the records Of the banks,
telegraph companies, express com.
panies. postoffice. by hotel registers
and other facts and circumstances
which leave no doubt as to the truth
Of his testimony both in substance and
in detail.
This scheme or campaign of dyna.
hitting was entered into and carried
on throughout the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and necessarily
involved the illegal transportation OF
dynamite and nitroglycerine upon the
vehicle and cars of common carriers,
carrying passengers from state to
state.
