131 MARKET STREET CHARLES R. BECK LEY, Principal
WILL ASK COURT '
FOR NEW TRIALS
Convicted Waynesboro Strik
ers Claim Verdicts Are
Not Fair
Chambersburg, Pa., Oct 18.
Fifty-eight strikers convicted In
court this week and who will be
called for sentence Monday next will
ask for a new trial. They feel there
were too many innocent men con
victed to have sentence to be pro
nounced on them without protest.
They say their names were taken
because they were better known by
their informants; that they were
known to be active union men, and
not because they had taken part in
any of the assaults. Their own wit
nesses did not testify that they had,
only in a few cases, therefore, they
feel they would be made to suffer
for what someone else did, which
they say is unfair.
As a result of the strike, 73 names
have appeared in five verdicts as
guilty of riot and assault and bat
tery. Of this number three have
been sentenced. The court statistics
show that 113 men were implicated
in the troubles leading to the prose
cutions. Twenty-five have been ac
quitted and 15 did not face trial be
cause of nonarrest. There was only
one case in which a verdict of ac
quittal was rendered In favor of all
the defendants.
