 SENTENCED TO JAIL
"Suppresor of Bolshevism' Gets Six Months Term
 From Judge.

Judge John II. Kirkham found the accused guilty and sentenced him to six months in jail.

 While the conversation was going on, other roomers in the building gathered the impression that Spor was being robbed and called in Patrolman James McCabe. The policeman took King from the room and locked him up.
 The accused claims New York as his home. He has been living in New Britain for about two months, he sad and for the past few weeks had been employed by the H. R. Walker com pany.
