TRAINED AGITATOR
JUDGE SCARIFIES “REDS.” LONDON, March 16. “You may call yourselves politicians, but you are more correctly described as an organised gang of criminals,” said Mr. Justice Humphreys, at the Old Bailey. ' The judge was sentencing Leonard Jeffries to three years' imprisonment, Ernest Stead to a year and nine months, and two other Communists to fifteen and twelve months respectively. They had been convicted of an attempt to corrupt soldiers. A detective gave evidence that Stead, the chief South Wales agitator, attended a three years’ course at a Communist college it} Moscow. Jeffries had also been in Russia. All apparently were well paid.
