In early April, following a three weeks' woi?U among the blind, tigers by tour detective?, the officers one morning made a 2 o'clock sorties and rounded up-more than sixty, ft took ten days to try them all and at the conclusion ot tae hearing Judge it. H. Sykes imposed fifty-six sentences of six months each, four or live being discharged.. All ol these appealed and they have a hope that '-Durham juries, 'proverbially.; wet, will acquit them. The recent terms of court here have been excessively light and this was accounted lor .bv tae tact that the recorder settled most wais key cases. . So many absolute out rages were compassed before juries, known to be wet, that it became pop ular to appeal. Nevertheless, suc ceeding juries caught, on and con victed many, thus giving them , se verer sentences than thev received in the lower court. A privately employed stenogra pher took the evidence in th cases contested before the recorder's court. The hope is to twist the detectives up so badly that the juries will have a reasonable doubt raised In their minds. By that, means, the defend ants hope to get off.

I By Associated Press) iislmigton. Mav 1.1 Setting aside the sentences of imprisonment imposed by the supreme court of the District of Columbia for alleged dis obedience to the bovcott injunction, the I mted States supreme court to day held that Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, and hraiik Morrison, presi dent, vice-president, and secretary respectively of the American Federa tion of Labor were erroneously sent enced lo .mil on 'the charge of con tempt, ot tho local court. Ihe court unanimously held that the only, sentences that could be im posed upon the labor leaders were fines. In so holding the supreme court found that the court of appeals ot the District, ot Columbia and the supreme court ol the. d.t strict erred In . treating the contempt proceedings to a. criminal case and not a civil one The effect ot holding the proceedings a civil out! wus to. -make - jail". -sent-' eticcs inttiossiblo. Hence jail sent-, ences had to be set aside.; lo correct live error the case was sent .buck to the local court with di rection that if he dismissed. The court made it possible for civil proceedings to be instituted against the labor-men by the Buck's Move and .Range Company, at whose instance the original contempt case was brought. ' .... 1 he court was led to hold that con tempt -proceedings in this case must be civil in - nature, because criminal punishment is exercised by courts to force persons to do acts. In the present case the court took the view thai t he labor mew were being sent to jail, not to make them do some thing i lie court ordered, but because nc '.something thev had done". in as, much as all difference be tween tho labor men and the Buck's Stove and Range Company have been adjudicated, including the ' boycott" use, mil ol which the contempt pro ceedings arose, foduv s decision is probably the last to be heard of this famous action.
