“THE WEARING OF THE GREEN.”

* * * * *

For one of the actors in the above-described memorable scene, the victory purchased but a few hours safety.  Next morning Mr. A.M.  Sullivan was placed again at the bar to hear his sentence—­that following upon the first of the prosecutions hurled against him (the press prosecution), on which he had been found guilty.  Again the court was crowded—­this time with anxious faces, devoid of hope.  It was a brief scene.  Mr. Justice Fitzgerald announced the sentence—­six months in Richmond Prison; and amidst a farewell demonstration that compelled the business of the court to be temporarily suspended, the officials led away in custody the only one of the prosecuted processionists who expiated by punishment his sympathy with the fate of the Martyred Three of Manchester.
