NEWBERRY GUILTY IN
ELECTION FRAUD TRIAL
Senator is Fined $lo,0O0-Cody,
King and John S. Newberry
Sentenced to Two Years and
Pay $4,000.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 90
Truman H. Newberry, junior United
States Senator from Michigan. was
today convicted by jury of having
conspired criminally in 1913 to vio-
late the election laws. He was SEN
fenced by Judge Clarence w. Sessions
to two years imprisonment and fined
$4,000, released on bond pending an
appeal and at once issued a state
ment declaring his intention to re-
tain his seat in the upper house unless
that body decided otherwise, or the
Supreme Court upholds his corvic-
ton.
Sharing the fate of the Senator
were his brother, John S. Newberry,
and fifteen campaign managers, IN
cluding Frederick Cody, of New York,
and Paul H. King, of Detroit. Both
these men received the limit sentence
with their chief.
Charles A. Floyd of Detroit, was
also sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary, but he was fined only
half as much as Newberry. The
brother was fined $4,000 and was
one of four who were not sentenced
to Leavenworth. The lightest SEN
tence went to George S. Laid of
Sturbridge, Mass, and he was fined
$1,000.
Sixty-Eight Freed.
The jury was ready with its verdict
at 11.12 a. m. Less than half an
hour later they had been discharged
by the court after freeing sixty
eight of the eighty-ive defendants.
There was brief respite for lun-
cheon, then the Senator and his six
teen associates were brought into
court again. News of the convictions
had been spread around the city and
the room was jammed.
Kings Warning Noted.
While the jurors said they had
agreed not to discuss their delibera-
tions the rule did not hold good after
thex had been released from service.
Several said that the defense testi-
mony itself was largely responsible
for the adverse verdict, particularly
Kings statement on the stand that ne
had warned Newberry in New York
that the campaign would cos at least
s50,o00.
It was also learned that in view of
this testimony and the numerous let
ters between King and Newberry IN
troduced by the defense to show pa
triotic motive and innocent intent IN
the campaign, the jurors had no diff
ficulty in agreeing yesterday that
conspiracy had existed. With this as
a basis they started to ballot on
whether all the eighty-fve defendants
were guilty and stood at nine to three
all day Friday on this proposition.

c.p.ain William Glenn Metts.

The Psaln1ist of old wrote, The
DAYS Of our years are three score
years and ten; and if by reason OF
strength they be four score years, yet
is their strength, labor and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly
away" And again he writes, "With
long life will satisfy him, and shew
him my salvation" And it is a great
privilege to be given long life and
also a great responsibility. The only
commandment with a promise is a
promise of long life, and it is the
command to honor and obey.
Looking forward from childhood
four score years is long time. Look
ing backward we imagine it seems but
Yesterday and as a tale that is told,
because those who have been priv
ileced to reach it have lived beyond
all their contemporaries of childhood
and young manhood, and must, to a
large extent, live back in the other
days.
But four score years Of honorable
service is great record !of which any
one might we'll be proud. And if it
has not been a life Of service for
others it will no. count much in the
great day of reckoning, even though
it be more than four score years.
