view that the strike of the miners is set

that on that day he expects to remove the

In regard to the discrimination clause
the governor says:

counsel for Norman Bruce McCleary,

sentenced to life Imprisonment, will make
motion for a new trial, and failing
in that will carry the case to the court
Of appeals.
Relatives Of McCleary are much disap-
pointed over the outcome of the trial,
as they felt he would at the most escape
with a few years in prison. McCleary
will be kept in Jail at Rockville pend
ing the decision of his counsel. If q
new trial is granted or the case goes
to the court of appeals he will be
brought back to Hagerstown. Otherwise
he will be taken direct to the peni-
tertiary to begin his life sentence.
