Truman H. Newberry, junior United States Senator from Michigan, was convicted Saturday at Grand Rapids, Mich., by a jury of having conspired criminally in 1918 to violate the election laws. He was sentenced by Judge Clarence W. Sessions to two years' imprisonment and fined $10,000, released on bond pending an appeal and at once issued a statement declaring his intention to retain his seat in the Senate unless that body decides otherwise, or the Supreme Court upholds his conviction.
Sharing the fate of the Senator were his brother, John S. Newberry, and fifteen campaign managers, including Frederick Cody, New York, and Paul H. King, Detroit. Both these men received the limit sentence with their chief.
Charles A. Floyd, Detroit, was also sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary, but was fined only half as much as Newberry. The brother was fined $10,000, and was one of the four who were not sentenced to Leavenworth. The lightest sentence went to George S. Ladd, of Sturbridge, Mass. He was fined $1,000.
