the court upheld the espionage act,

pionage act.
Convicted on Three Counts.
Following a speech in Canton,
Debs was indicted on 10 counts and
finally convicted on three. Federal
Judge Westenhaver sentenced him
TO 10 years in the Moundsville, W
Va. prison.
In his brief, filed with the su-
preme court, Debs emphasized that
he wished to make his fight for free

been denied his rights of free speech
under the first amendment to the
constitution, although he made sew

He also contended that by the in
