The Sentence. The jury, which was out for seven minutes, held that Lord Alfred Douglas had criminally libeled Mr. Winston Churchill. Mr. Justice Avery sentenced the new prisoner to six months in jail and permanently bound him over in the sum of £100 for good behavior, failing which he can be again imprisoned for a term of six months.
The case had ended. Lord Alfred waved a cheery farewell to his friends in Court as he marched off to his cell. Mr. and Mrs. Winston Churchill were inundated with congratulations.
