FOLLOWERS GREET DUNN ON RETURN FROM JAIL
The followers of Russell J. DUNN, numbering more than 2,000, gave
their leader a hearty welcome at the Music Hall, Ulmer Park, last night.
The event was in honor of DUNN's return from Blackwell's Island,
where he was sentenced for thirty days. The festivities were opened
with an automobile parade to the park. DUNN made an address in
which he told of his experience on the island and of his treatment
there.
Many of those present did not conceal their satisfaction over the
fact that Judge SNITKEN, who was the principal witness against
DUNN, has been sentenced to five years in jail. James McCARTHY
was chairman of the arrangement committee.
