CHICAGO -- White supremacist leader Matthew Hale, whose gospel of "racial holy war" was linked to a follower's deadly shooting rampage five years ago, was found guilty Monday of trying to have a federal judge killed.

The 32-year-old Hale was convicted in Chicago of four of the five charges against him.

H
le sat with his hands clasped on the table as the verdicts were read. He dipped his head slightly but showed no other reaction.

Prosecutors said Hale was furious after a federal judge ordered him to


st
p using the name World Church of the Creator for his organization. The ju
dge was never attacked.

Hale's lawyers argued he never asked anyone to kill the judge. They say the FBI used an informant to draw him into a murder plot.
