S. Navy Sentenced to Penal Servitude in Federal Prison— Famous Trial Results in Conviction of Seventeen Principals for. Violation of Corrupt Practices Act : _GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March’ 20 —Convicted with 16 other principals of fraud in procuring his election ta the United States senate, Truman H. Newberry of Detroit, former secretary of the navy and one of Michigan’s wealthiest and most influential citi- zens, was sentenced to two years’ penal servitude in the federal prison at Leavenworth by Judge Sessions in the United States district court here today. “ Sentences were pronounced upon the convicted men this afternoon as follows: SENATOR NEWBERRY, two years in Leavenworth and $10,000 fine. / 7 FREDERICK /CODY, same. PAUE KING, same. CHARLES A. FLOYD, two years Leavenworth and$ 1,500 fine. Others received sentences ranging from $1,000 fine to a year and six months in the penitentiary. , Judge Sessions overruled motions for a stay of sentence pending, new trial. The trial of Senator Newberry and some 200 co-defendants who were accused with him of having used money to corrupt the last general election and to secure the defeat of Henry Ford of De- troit, democratic candidate for the United States senate, was one of the most sensational America has ever witnessed. The social standing of Newberry and his family; his wealth and his splendid record for public service made the case one of exceptional interest in Michigan and throughout the middle west. Among those charged with assisting in the Newberry conspiracy was “Farmer Jim” Helme, former state dairy commissioner, pub- lisher of a nationally known Grange paper and formerly head of the Michigan Grange. It was charged that Helme, who is a demo- crat, but who was opposed to Ford, accepted money for support- ing Newberry through his paper. \ 17 VERDICTS RETURNED Grand ‘Rapids, “Mieh., Mareh :20.-— - BY CLUB BOARD 1918 senatorial election by a jury in United States district court here to- Banker Heads Commercial Club with Dr. E.
