POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS
Down under all the Summary and

verbosity of the bills of indictment
the fuel stands that the young men
recently convicted in the Federal
Court at Atlanta were proseonted On
account of their poliTcs. The math in

to bear to sec®re his personal refuge.

Their defense fell wtaitdy upon the

of the ninth district that no counsel
from that section stood by them in
their trouble. Their friends, their
people had helped to put down the
’miserable little upstart who was
seeking to punish them, Their
friend and people had aided to re
