Hickson, who was convicted before Judge Woods at Rock Hill, of making seditious utterances in violation of the espionage law, and sentenced to six months in the penitentiary, has been heard by the United States court of appeals. Judge Pritchard has rendered an opinion in which he declares that according to the showing made at the trial, were no technical errors made at the trial, and the verdict is upheld. The judge, however, finds that Judge Woods made a mistake in sentencing the defendant to the penitentiary when the statute provides that all offenders sentenced for less than a year must go to jail instead. The case is remanded back to the district court with instructions that unless there is a pardon, Mr. Hickson will be held in jail for six months.?The Enquirer. g.
