Three Years This Morning.

SURPRISE AT SENTENCE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, July 2:-Leonard
Frescini, alleged l. w. w. agitator,
who led the Italian element in the
Roosevelt fertilizer strikes in Roose-
welt In January, and recently con-
victed for obstrueting railroad
track during the strikes, was today
sentenced by Judge Peter F. DAILY in
the court of common pleas to serve
from one and half to three years in
states prison. The prisoner flinched
at hearing the sentence.
In passing judgment, Judge DAILY
stated that the obstruction of the
track was primarily responsible for
the shooting, which resulted in man.
slaughter at the Williams & Clark
plant on the morning of January 10,
and subsequently resulted in the big
murder trial here. Walter d. Van
Syekle, representing Frescini, imme-
diately gave notice that he would
probably. in the course of the next
few days, apply for new trial on
the ground that the verdict was
against the weight of evidence and
that new evidence had been dis
covered.
Frescini was originally indicted
with two others for obstructing
railroad tracks at both the Liebig
and Williams & Clark plants on the
morning Of the shooting. The al
legged agitator was indicted on three
counts In all, which included one of
carrying concealed weapons. Harry
Patterson and James Bavier, one
time deputies, were the principal
witnesses against Frescini. They
identified him.
Mr.. Van Syckle pleaded for the
prisoner, stating that there had been
no intention to wreck any train and
the obstruction was SO light as to be
almost worthless as barricade.
Prosecutor Florance said the grand
jury has thoroughly Investigated
phases of the Roosevelt strike Incl
dents and had only come to con-
clusions on bills, after the most thor
ough deliberation. Mr.. Florance
asked for justice on all sides, wheth-
er 1t be on the deputies side or that
of the strikers. Judge Daily held that
had the distractions not been made,
there would probably not have been
any shooting. He branded Frescini
as free lance leader among the
Italians during the strikes

ARMENIAN CASE LIKELY TO
HIT BACK AT ENGLAND
Special BY United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire.
Washington, July 2.-The Arme-
nian case seemed likely today to
cause an Anglo-American rather
than a German-American controver-
sy. The proposition hinges ON the
question whether the torpedoed ship
was British transport or a peaceful
freighter.
The London admiralty statement
that the vessel was on admiralty
business" suggested the former, but
the international Mercantile Marine,
New York agent, asserted the latter.
If 1t was transport it was generally
agreed in official circles that it ought
not to have been permitted to load
and clear from an American port.

England was made to the German
submarine commander, who lay in
wait and attacked her while she was
approaching the British coast. Less
than an hour after the news reach
ed the admiralty cable dispatches
reported rumors of similar threats
against the White Star liner Adri-
attic, bound for Liverpool, with a
passenger list that includes many
persons of prominence both here and
Canada.
1t was recalled in official circles
that similar rumors preceded the de-
parture of the Lusitania and for
that reason some concern was ex-
pressed for the safety of the White
Star liner. The admiralty would not
comment on reports from America
regarding the Adriatic.
But 1t was deemed certain here
that extraordinary precautions would
be taken to protect the liner and her
great human cargo from the moment
she entered the war zone until she
docked at Liverpool For several
weeks rumors reached officials here
that the submarine operations along
the southwest coast of Ireland were
being directed by information re-
ceiyed in America. The admiralty
generally discredited the reports but
have made a careful investigation
The story told by the Wellsbury
crew today was the first definite
statement in support of these
charges.
