criminal anarchy act. and sentenced
to serve fom five to ten years in
Sing Sing.
, New York. Dec. 11.-(AP) - The
charge against Benjamin Gitlow. a
former state assemblyman. arose
from the publication by him in a
radical magazine, of a manifesto by
the Left Wing of the Socialist Party
which the state contended advocated
the overthrow of the government by
force.
Gitlow has been in and out Of pris-
on several times since his conviction.
Five times in as many years he has
been released from Sing Sing on
court orders when crises arose in his
legal battle to escape fulfillment of
his sentence.
The Gitlow case was the last aris-
ing from prosecutions in 1920 under
the New York criminal anarchy stat
ute.
The governor made 1t plain. in a
statement. that he had no doubt of
Gitlow's guilt.
"As far as Gitlow is concerned y
the governor said. "the question with
me is one Of whether or not he has
been sufficiently punished for a po-
litical crime.
