BRITAIN SURPRISED
WHEN BOTTOMLEY
GETS SEVEN YEARS
British Editor and NJ. p,
To Appeal Conviction
For s15O,OOO Theft.

LONDON. May 29.-Horatio Bot

mer editor of John Bull" and for
years a storm center OF British
politics. is now in Jail sentenced to
seven years on charges of misap-
propriating f15O0OO from the Vic.
tory Bond Club for his own use.
There was surprise at the Sc
verify of the sentence, since the
country was evenly divided as TO
whether "EnGland's greatest lay
lawyer" would be convicted.
His sentence will insure auto
matte expulsion from Parliament IL
upheld on the appeal. Notice of
appeal was given Immediately after
the verdict was announced. but le-
gal experts think the appeal will
fail.
Rail Refused Him.
The prosecuting counsel insisted
that If II were shown the defend
ant has used subscribers money
fraudulently. il was no answer to
say that some Of il had been re-
paid. Judge Salter insisted that
the conversion of money was proved
and the jury returned a verdict in
half an hour.
In passing sentence, Judge Salter
declared Bottomley was rightly
convicted of a series of heartless
frauds and robbing poor people
who had entrusted their money to
him. The crime. Judge Salter
added. was aggravated by Bottom
ley's high position and his callous
effrontery. He refused to grant
bail pending appeal.
Angry at Judge. :.
Bottomley was pale but composed
when the sentence was pronounced
He muttered viciously toward the
Judge: "If were permitted
would have said something offensive
regarding your summing up of the
case" but he was cut short as the
warders led him to prison.
Despite his conviction, BottomleS
undoubtedly retains many support
ers who think he was unlucky and
harshly treated. Ryshis diverse ac-
