Most of the old-timers, who worked closely with Russell eventually left the Watch Tower, some right away, others a few years later not sure of themselves, but as the chnages developed, they all left.Those who were sentenced to prison (noticed NONE of these were the original directors as appointed by Russell) were:
- W. E. Van Amburgh - Became a JW. But evidence by his Bible Student family shows he was remorseful for what he did, but never left and fell out of grace with the Judge. Like many, he went alongh with the program for food and shelter.
- J. F. Rutherford - Well, we know about him.
- A. H. Macmillan - the Brown nosers brown nosers, stayed and lived a good life, until Knorr too over, then he became just another bethelite.
- R. J. Martin - Left and stayed with the Bible Students
- F. H. Robison - Left the Society and joined the Concordant Publishing Concern, a Universalist group that still exist today.
- C. J. Woodworth - Became a JW, but lost his mind eventually. Towards the end of his life, he began to believe he had new light. The new light was actually old light, he was teachiong Br. Russell, this according to some old timers who went to visit him at Bethel in the 1950s.
- G. H. Fisher - He left and was about to sue Rutherford and the Society, claimed he had proof of the illegal takeover, unfortunately, he died in 1925 and nothing ever became of the lawsuit.
- G. DeCecca - Became a JW and stayed till his death.
- R.H. Hirsh - A warrant was issud for him, but he had already resigned under pressure, so the Government did not puruse it. He left and wandered around to different Bible Student groups. Finally serving as an elder in the class I serve in, in Jersey City. His wife Sr. Rose lived to be 106, and her expereinces were documented on audio files. (Don't ask, their not for sale)
