Socialists Are Sentenced
at Chicago.
THEIR COURSE
Prisoners Deliver Addresses on So

Political and Moral Martyrs
of History.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-victor L. Ber-
ger, socialist conJressman-elect
from Milwaukee, and his four CO.
defendants are at liberty following
granting of a writ of supersedeas
after sentence to 20 years impris-
onment for violation of the espion-
age act. This acts as a stay pend
ind appeal to the higher courts.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Federal Judge
Lands imposed a maximum prison
sentence OF 20 years upon Congress
man-elect Victor l.. Berger of Milwau-
kee and four other Socialist leaders,
VINO in final pleas likened themselves
to ~history's great martyrs.
The five men, convicted of conspira-
cy to obstruct the draft in violation
of the espionage act, succeeded in OBJ
tanning release on s25, 900 bail from
Judge Alschuler and declared they
would carry the legal fight to the
United States supreme court If neces-
sary.
Besides Berger, publisher of the Mil
waukee Leader, the other convicted
men are:
Rev. Irwin st. John Tucker, lee
turer and writer.
Adolph Germer, national secretary
of the Socialist party.
j. Louis Engdahl, editor of the
American Socialist.
William F. Kruse, head of the
Vntnn Dnnn1ata Cnn;aI;.t I1a~a-
Judge Landis overruled motions for
a new trial and for a stay of execu-
ton and for bail. but granted the fill
ing OF a petition for a writ of error.
Court Hesitates as to Bail.
Counsel for the convicted men then
went before Judge Samuel p. Alschul-
err of the United States circuit court
OF appeals and asked for bail.
Judge Alschuler said he hesitated
in granting the motion for bail lest
the defendants continue their Social
istic agitation. He interviewed each
of the FIVE and then granted them bail,
increased from $500 to $25, 900 with
the understanding that they refrain
from resuming their former acts and
u~tterances during the tendency OF
their case.
The new bonds had been fixed at
$4,000 on each count and each of the
five was found guilty on two counts.
The surety, too. was required to be
double the sum fixed, or 100000 each,
or $4,000 900 for all.
Berger and his four associates took
full ~advantaie of the customary in
quiry of the Judge whether they had
anything to say before sentence were
passed, and the Milwaukee congress
man-elect finished reading his 1000
word typewriter statement with tears
streaming down his face. He pro-
fessed no surprise az the verdict,
though declaring his conviction was
in violation of the constitution and as
serted he would retract nothing he
had said OF written.
Irwin st. John Tucker, in his plea,
compared himself and the others to
Jesus Christ before Pontius Plate.
