There was repeated sharp exchanges
between the court and attorneys in
regard to stays of sentence in the vari-
Gus cases. 1t started with the case of
julius Bloxdorf when the attorney for
Bloxdorf appealed to the court on the
ground that BIoxdorf would have
served his sentence before a supreme
court action could be secured. "Mo-
tion denied" was the only response of
the court and motion denied" was the
response to every plea for stay in
sentence from then on. The Judge let
it be understood that he expected the
sentences to be served and served at
once. AS the judge said, THAT is ALL
after he had passed sentence on the
defendants they were led from the
court room in the custody of an of
ficer and taken to the Jail to await
the House of Correction Special,
late this afternoon or early tomorrow
morning. If the commitments can be
made out by the clerk of the court
it was expected that all of the men
would be taken to the Milwaukee
prison Before the day is over.
