REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Eight - "Tribulation Ten Days" -Continue

 A wave of persecution in the United States of America was climaxed  when the new president of the Watch Tower Society Joseph F. Rutherford and seven associates were sent to prison on June 22, 1918, most of them with  20-year sentences.  They were  released on bail nine months later.  On May 14, 1919, the appeal court reversed their erroneous convictions; there were shown to be 135 errors in the trial.  Roman Catholic Judge  Manton, a knight of the order of St. Gregory the Great, who in 1918 had refused bail  to these Christians, was sentenced later, in  1939, to two years' imprisonment  and a fine of $10,000 on six charges of soliciting and accepting bribes.
