SOCIALISTS ALONE
FAIR, SAYS RAMP
No Other Jury Could Do Him
Justice, He Asserts New
Trial Is Denied.
Only a Jury composed of Socialists
could give me a fair trial." said Floyd j
Ramp. Roseburg Socialist, In arguing
his motion for a new trial this morning
before United States District Judge
Wolverton. The motion was overruled.
Ramp, convicted by a federal Jury of
violating the espionage act in attempt
ing to cause Mlsruptlon among drafted
troops at the Southern Pacific station
at Roseburg, will be sentenced Tuesday
morning.
The greatest penalty under ths espion
age act is a sentence of 20 years, a fine
of $10,000, or both.
Ramp presented eight reasons In his
motion for another trial. He laid great
stress on his charge that the Jury, com
posed of men who differed with him in
politics and religion, and who, being In
the prime of life, were opposed to radical
movements, could not be unbiased.
- Drawing a comparison. Ram p. said the

charged the only Jurors who could have
glyen him a fair trial.. He said he had
not been allowed to ask the Jurors ques
tions which might have led to their dis
charge, and that the drawing of the
panel was unfair and Irregular.
This and charges that the evidence
did not uphold the Indictment and that
the prosecutor took advantage of. his
ignorance of court procedure were the
principal reasons. Ramp said, why he
should have a new trial.
Ramp was complimented by the court,
answering the last objection, when he
was told he had conducted his case ably.
The court declared that the .greatest
possible latitude had been allowed Ramp,
as stated by United States Attorney
