Two married couples pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to charges they conducted a campaign of terror to further their white supremacist views.

David and Deborah Dorr and Edward and Olive Hawley were to go on trial Monday before U.S. District Judge Harold Ryan but instead accepted a plea bargain.Ryan scheduled sentencing for Oct. 26.

The Dorrs and Hawleys were indicted on 16 counts by a grand jury in February. The indictment said the four turned to crime to fund a militant offshoot of the Aryan Nations church in Hayden Lake.
