government In connection with the 1m-
prlvement of Savannah harbor.
The supreme court of the United
States Is due to announce Its decision
as to whother It will review the Judg
ment of the lower courts that sen
tenced them to prison for four years
and to pay more than Half a million
dollars fine each. Greene and Gaynor
are said to have little hope that the
court will grant their prayer.
The government has spent over
>200,000 In prosecuting these men.
Greene and Gaynor have undoubtedly
dissipated a good-sized fortune tn
their defense. Yet prison stares them
In the face.
