THE .SENTENCE.
*
Warren was sentenced to pay
a fine of $1,500 , the cost of the
prosecution ' and to serve six
months in the Fort Scott jail.
By GEORGE H. SHOAF.
No court In the history of jurispru \ .
dence ever presented a scene more re-
plete wjth dramatic interest than that
witnessed iit ! the federal building at
Fort Scott Kan. , Thursday afternoon ,
July 1M , when in response ) to Judge
Pollock's invitation to show cause why
sentence should not be pronounced ,
Fred D. Warren editor of the Ap
peal to Reason , arose , and began to
speak. /The last bit of uncontradicted
evidence disclosing the , bias and ; preju-
dice of the jurors who convicted War
ren had been introduced. The last ar-
gument in behalf of justice for the de
fendant : liml : been made by his attor-
neys. Bone and West of the prosecu-
tion had clcclin d to reply to Darrow
and Boyle. .1ud e Pollock had just de-
livered his decision overruling ; the mo-
tions for an arrest of judgment and a
new trial. Everything that could : be
.
said and everything that could be'done
to reverse the processes } of the court
and snatch victory from defeat had
been said and done.
Unconquered Client.
Tense wero the feelings of the spec-
tators as Warren faced the court. In-
stinctively I it was ! realized that some-
thing was : \ about to happen ' : but just
what : it would be no one could think
or say. The benign face of Clarence
Darrow , the celebrated lawyer who in
a hundred courts has championed la-
bor's cause and : whose voice from a
thousand platforms has : ; been lifted in
behalf of the poor and oppressed show-
ed concern as did the faces of his as-
sociate attorneys , when it became evi
dent that their defeated but uncon-
quered client was about to initiate ac
tion in his own behalf. The govern
ment's agents and attorneys looked as
if a red flag had : been unexpectedly un- . .
folded or a bomb was about to be hurl-
ed , and they cringed speechless in their
chairs. Judge Pollock himself , his eyes
fastened on the figure before him , his
countenance plainly revealing the con-
flicting emotions of his mind , sat as If
stricken dumb.
Voice Rang Like a Claribn. ,
"Yes , your : honor , there are some rea-
sons why sentence of the court should
not be pronounced. " - ' ,
11 With his hands on the'table before
him and his eyes looking straight and
fearlessly : into tho c' of the court.
,
Warren's voice rang . like a clarion : as
he bt'gati a speech as remarkable as it
is without a parallel. The unexpected
ness of the proceeding and Warre'a
boldness of utterance astounded Judge
Pollock. Once or twice Prosecuting
Attorney Bone looked appealing at
the court as if the latter dignitary
ought to foreclose on the speaker's re-
marks , but the court too " '
niai s. was preo" ru-
pied. with amazement to except. To a
silenced judge and in the presence of
an audience whose very breathing
e < uJd neither be felt nor heard cap
, italism's : must prominent victim _ and
labor's uncompromising champion pro-
ceeded with the uncovering of the
causes that ! : had led to his conviction.
Never in his life had Judge Pollock
listened to a speech like this ; never
. in the history of jurisprudence
there a speech } like-this made in a
federal 1 court.
Situation Dramatic Beyond Words.
Warren represented in the concrete
itho ' agony and : woe , the blood and tears
of the working class of the world. He
typified = the issue between the ruling
I class and those who are fighting the
agelongwar for human emancipation.
Through him were voiced the outraged
sentiments of men women and chil-
dren who in the field , factories and
mines do the work of the world and
who in some way would protest
against the methods by which 'the
wealth their work creates is taken
from thorn and given to those who
labor not. Here in this federal court ,
the .strongest bulwark of the system
: that is responsible for the agony and
blood and outraged sentim { > nts. War
ren , already convicted and about to
receive sentence faced without hesita :
-
tion and without a tremor the flesh
I I and blood : embodiment of capitalism's : : i
I mighty power and challenged him to
do his worst. :
Would Vote For Him For President.
I . .
Warren's speech climaxed his de
, fense and clinched ! it irrefutably in the
consciences of his auditors. , If there
I had been any doubt as to the injustice
: of the prosecution and the animus and .
; origin of it , this doubt rapidly dispelled
, ns the speech proceeded. After seu-
' lence was pronounced and the prisoner
" was admitted to bail pending an ap-
peal John II. Crider one of the most
prominent Republicans in Fort Scott
and probably : in secret society circles
the most influential man . in Kansas '
who had listened to Warren's address ,
came forward and volunteered to , sign
his bond. The offer was accepted.
, DownstUirs after adjournment of court
! , a group of men , Democrats and Re-
publicans , united in open indorsement
I of the speech and unqualifiedly ' es
_ ' pressed their admiration for the man
" r.-ho made it.
I "If ever that * man runs for president
, lie , , will get my vote , " . . -declared one . ot , ;

dent that he did not know what to say
Undoubtedly he had made up his mind
.
as to the severity of the 'ntNl'e , but
this speech from the prisoner appar .
ently upset his } J1:1l1- : ; . Now he vibrated
between doubt aim despair. Warren
possibly with a note of defiance had ,
announced that he did not ask I or ex-
' - ' that he was
poet clemency ] or i-icrcy ; :
not guilty and was not conscious ot
having committed an offense. ' The
United States district attorney : had de
manded that the full penalty of the
law. five years in the penitentiary : and
a $ v , 000 fine , be inflicted.

Yesterday while Clint Ander-

ing from the south hills after buy-
ing a bunch.of cattle from J. D.
Richards they upset the buggy a
mile south of Irwin and Clint was
dragged a short distance under
the buggy. Clint was driving and
in holding : ; onto the lines was drag
ged under the buggy severely
bruising him about the head and
shoulders. One of the horses had
the neck yoke or single tree jam-
med into her breast near the fore
leg and the blood gushed out as
though an artery had been punct-
ured. The team belonged to Mr.
Skinner of Irwin. Clint and J es-
sie had to walk into . the _ station. I
The darkness was intense and .
they couldn't see the road nor how

We were up to Merriman yes
terday : and found considerable in-
terest centering in a case before
Justice of the Peace W. R. White ,
in which James Tice was charged
with'runlawfully breaking into a
house. Two attorneys of Valen-
tine - A. M. Morrissey and John
Tucker-and Judge Patterson of
Rushville were in the city and
Merriman looked like a county
seat town , with numerous persons
in attending court.
What promise'd to be an inter-
esting case was soon brought to
an abrupt close by the defendant
pleading guilty and taking a fine
of § 75 and costs from the dispen-
ser of justice. It seems that some
explanation would be proper here.
The young man had imbibed too
freely and felt too well acquainted
at the place where he seemed to' '
have trouble in entering and broke
in without , an invitation , without
any intention of wronging any
person or destroying property.
His plea of guilty places the young : ;
man in better atmosphere as not
feeling justified in a defense.
