Howe of Vermont, before whom the case was tried, im- posed the maximum penalty permitted by law ch instance, and several times remarked that he deeply re- gretted that he was not able to im- pose sentences far more severe. The conspirators were tried under the old law and not under the recently passed IZspiona act, it being impossible to bring them into court under the new law which was passed subsequent to the commission of the crimes in the indictments. Just before the case went to jury it looked for a few moments as if it would be interrupted by the sud- den illness of Lawrence Farley, the foreman of the jury. Mr. Farley, who is a middle-aged man, became faint, and Assistant District Attorney W. Osborne, 2d, in charge of the case the vernment, was informed t maybe “a little drink” of some- stimulating would help Mr Mr. Farley agreed with the suggestion, and the! me the prob- lem of getting the stimulant. This is how they solved the problem: Has “Nip” of Exhibit “A™.

Go get it,” or words to that effect, said Mr. Oshorne to the clerk The clerk disappeared and in a few moments was back with an amb bottle, almost full of a slightly darker liquid. “This is it is all right,’ Osborne. Mr. Osborne grasped firmly about the neck and Mr. Farley. ‘Take a little this,” he said as he handed A” to the foreman. Mr. Farley sniffed the contents of the battle, shook his head approvingly and took a good swallow . Five min- utes later he was the healthiest look- ing man on the y. . It was feared for a time that some of the other jurors might grow faint, but hib ‘Avdisappeared into the other cour room before any had time to collapse. With Mr. Farley's health restored the case procceded. Mr. Osborne closed for the government. The 11 Germans winced many times during the speech of Mr. Osborne, who de- nounced them murderers who, coming to a friendly land, were “will- ing to strike a neutral friend in the back in order ta prove loyalty to the Fatherland Picture to vourself,” said Mr. Osborne, “the enormity of this erime. They placed fire bombs on a ship so to cause that ship to burn at sea | nd go down with her innocent crew who had done no harm to these patriotic murderers.” The jury retired at 1:10 and at 4 returned to the courtroom, where Mr. Farley in a firm voice announced We find them, all of them, guilty as charged in the indictments.” | The prisoners stood up.

His lawyer pleaded for clemency and Judge Howe replied: “T am not impressed with the argu- ment, and this crime is so grave that this court would not consider for a moment the imposition of any other sentence except the extreme pe permitted by the law governing it.
