Famous Anarchist Must Go to the Penitentiary.
——
PUBLISHED SEDITIOUS ARTICLE
——
IN THE “FREIHEIT” HE APPROVED MR. M’KINLEY’S ASSASSINATION.
——
Publication Was Made the Day Following Czolgosz’s Act—Most’s Eccentric Career.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Johann Most, the anarchist,
was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary today in the Court of Special
Sessions for publishing in his paper, the Freiheit, an alleged seditious article
on the day following the shooting of the late President McKinley.
For a long time Herr Most, as he was familiarly
known all over the United States, was considered the leader of the anarchists
in the United States. His name was almost a synonym for fire, bloodshed and
assassination. For the past two or three years he has been inactive, having
in a measure fallen into disfavor with his own people. The publication of his
paper was his only active participation in anarchism.
