THE EVENING NEWS.

yesterday by Judge LocA0' " He
Prison for the term of ten years. An ineftectua'
ATTEMPT was made by his counsel, Mr.. Sankey,
for a new trial and also to quash the indictment,
on the ground that it did not show as SET 10TH IN
I'd MANY words, that the money and other articles
were taken with the intent to steal, and tnat'
therefore, the Indictment simply charged the
prisoner with trespass, and that the sentence OF
the Court should not go beyond that o1ense. An
this fine talk did very we'll, but could NOT save
tha man who had been pronounced guilty" by
twelve of his peers from suffering the penalty OF
the law. The Court accordingly oruereo tue
orisoner to stand up" and after explaining to
him the nature Of the case, the evidence ana the
law, asked him II he had anything 70 say why
sentence should not be passed upon him" In re-
olv 10 which Donnery made quite a speech
asserting that if a new trial were granted him he
ropld undoubtedly prove his innocence of the
charge preferred against him; also, that there
were several witnesses, upon whom he had relied
for his defense, which it had been impossible to
produce during this trial that he had three
mothsrless children dependent upon him, and
that If the Court did not fit to grant him new
trial but should proceed to pass sentence upon
him. that he hoped the Court would show all pos
sible leniency. 1t was hard for an old man to be
taken off to prison, and especially 30 when ne
thought of his poor children. Notwithstanding
the conclusive nature of the evidence against MN
and the heinous nature of the crime which he had
committed, there We're many in that courtroom
who could but pity the guilty man Inc law
however is impartial. 1t in all cases protects the
innocent and Furnishes the guilty, and II men
would not find themselves in the position OF TINS
man, let them avoid crime.
