SENTENCE'S IN ENGLAND
“ORGANISED CRIMINALS.”
LONDON, Match 23.
“You m'ay call yourselves politicians, but you are more correctly described as an organised gang of criminals,” said Mr Justice Humphrey, at the Old Bailey to-day. * The Judge was sentencing Leonard Jeffries to three years’ imprisonment, Ernest Stead to a year and nine months’, and two other Communists to 15 and 12 months’ respectively. They had been convicted of an attempt to corrupt soldiers. ,A detective gave evidence that Stead, the chief South Wales agitator, attended a three years' course at a Communist college in Moscow. Jeffries had also been in Russia. All apparently were well-plaid.
