A COPPEnHEAD RROUEHE TO
GRIEF,
Arrest for Perjury and Fraudulent
vOt1nHs

>AAN -
election, The offender In one Of these cases
has been arrested and held to bail. We trust
an example will be made Of him, and degree
Of punishment inflicted which will be suEi-
cient to prevent the recurrence of like often
ecs. The person arrested is Peter Sable, d
German citizen OF Woodstock, McEeury
county, who was in the city with load Of
produce on election day, and by some chance
tell into the hands Of q blatant Copperhead,
who filed him with whisky and then in
duced him to vote the Copperhead ticket
At the polls of the 18th wnrd, whcre the
otiense was committed, the judges objected
to his vote, us did also several Republican by
standers who were on the lookout for just
such chaps, and challenged 1t. Sable un-
bluehingly took the oath required by the
statute, md voted. Thus to the fraudulent
jury!
After depositing his vote, he jumped into
his wagon and attempted to drive over the
officer who just then arrested him. and thus
make his escape.
At the Police Court, yesterday morning,
he was a.raigued and plead guilty, adding in
extenuation Of the offense, that he WAS drunk
and didn't know what he was doing. Justice
Miller took the ground that the judges could
not testify in the case, although upon what
rule OF law or evidence he founded this deci-
sion, he did not tell us. Fortuna: ELY, the ad-
mission Of the prisoner, and the atatements
of the officer who made tho arrest and by
~ vr},r %ho
jury, left the Justice no alternative but to
hold him for trial Not even the ghost of IN
excuse could be devised to let him of
The punishment for perjury, as indicated
by the statute, is Imprisonment in the pcni-
tcntiary for term not less than one year nor
more than fourteen years; yet notwithstand-
ing the heinous nature Of the ofIense, the
Justice allowed him to recognize in the
pitiiul sum Of $500 for his appearance at the
next term Of the Recorders Court, and allow
ed the man who gave him the tickets aud in-
duced him to vote, to become his bail This
is not the first time that Justice Miller has
allowed his partizan procliyities to influence
his decisions, and 1t Is time to put stop to
this unseem1y practicc.
