8 FOLLOWERS OF PASTOR RUSSELL ARE CONVICTED

Found Guilty Under Spy Law, and 40 Years Imprisonment is Possible. NEW YORK, June 21 Joseph F. Rutherford and seven other defendants, followers of the late "Pastor" Russell, were found guilty of conspiring to violate the espionage law by a Jury In Federal Court at 10:30 o'clock last night. ' When the Jury filed into the court room and the foreman announced that all the defendants had been found guilty on all four counts In the indictments against them. Judge Howe's comment was that the verdict was "thoroughly right." Counsel for the defense moved that the verdict be set aside on the ground that It was against the weight of evidence and that errors had beqn committed in the admission of evidence. Asserting that the lawyer must be more sepclfic, the judge gave him until , tomorrow noon to file his objections. At that hour the judge announced he would sentence the eight men. Maximum Forty Years. The maximum penalty which can be imposed on each defendant is forty years imprisonment. The four counts on which they were found guilty were conspiracy In subordination, disloyalty and resistance of the selective draft act. Each count carries a maximum penalty of ten years. Judge Howe, in imposing sentence, can rule that they run separately or concurrently. Besides Rutherford the defendants were: William E. Van Amburgh, Robert J.- Martin, Fred H. Robinson, George H. Fisher, Clayton J. Wood(irth, A. Hugh McMillan and Giovanni DeCecca. Violation of the law is not excused by the plea that it was done in the service of God, declared Judge Howe In charging the Jury. The defendants were accused of preaching sedition in "Pastor" Russell's posthumus book, "The Finished Mystery," and with advising resistance to the draft. "If you find," said Judge Howe, "that these defendants purposely said, wrote or published what they did in a wilful attempt to cause insubordination, disloyalty or refusal of duty or a wilful obstruction to the recruiting or enlistment service, this would constitute criminal Intention notwithstanding you may also find that they Intended to serve God and were not conscious of doing anything unlawful because they did not know the law."
