Abstract

Yarros, Victor S. | August 31, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The great and sensational case of the United States of America vs. William P. Haywood et al. resulted in a verdict of "Guilty" against the one hundred defendants who finally faced the court and jury. Although the trial consumed over four months, and although the witnesses were numerous and the record unprecedentedly voluminous, the jury deliberated less than two hours. The prosecution was not unwilling to acquiesce in this arrangement, although it deprived the Government likewise of the opportunity of going over the evidence carefully, and showing how each of the one hundred defendants had been duly connected by it with the conspiracies charged in the indictment.
