Case

Charges: Espionage Act of 1917 and/or the Sedition Act of 1918
Incarcerated: May 19, 1919
Released: June 1923
Sentence: Iive years in prison (Espionage/Sedition Act conviction). ADMITTED TO BAIL, APRIL 2, 1919. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ordered thirty-eight of the men convicted in the Chicago mass trial released on bail pending its review of the case; the bonds ran from $5,000 to $10,000, with Haywood alone required to provide $15,000. Fifty-five others convicted in the same case did not seek bail. The order is not the release: each man left Leavenworth when his bond was actually furnished, which for those whose dates are recorded here fell between April 28 and September 28, 1919. Reported in the New York Times and across the wire services, April 3, 1919.
