"I maintain I have broken no law and committed no crime unless it be that I am a coal miner, honored by my fellow-workers with their years of con fident faith, that my devotion will stand even this, the acid test for the main tenance of their principles.

During the reading of this state ment Lawson was visibly affected, and was sobbing more than once. With a few remarks to the defendant Judge Hillyer pronounced sentence. Lawson was convicted May 3 of first- degree murder for the killing of John Nimmo, a Deputy Sheriff, on October 25. 1913. Nimmo fell during a battle between strikers and mine guards and deputies.
