AT the proceeding the Department of
Justice was represented by r. P. Stew

John Edgar Hoover, special assistant

On the afternoon Of December 10 the
! government submitted its briefs to the
Supreme Court in the case OF Alexan-
der Berkman, and Thursday, DecenlbeI
II, 1919, the Chief Justice handed
down the opinion of the entire couri
to the effect that there was no ground
upon which the writ Of error could b.
sustained and for that reason refused
to stay the deportation Of Alexander
Berkman; he also re- sed TO allow the
ject to be released on bail pending
his actual deport- Ton.
The government Immediately took
steps tcvlrd securing the deportation
Of Alexander Berkman, and he is now

Many of the men were paying BAN

group here and there would str'~o up
the anarchist "Carmagno. the "ln-
tcrnationale' and Russian revolutionary
airs. Berkman, apparently preparing
for his new environment. was issuing
orders to the anarchists in Russian.
Some of them professed desiae to

Berkman seemed to grow doubly en-

Flynn and his party. He rushed about

braggadocio. All the Russians rose in
