A YOUNG MAN SENT TO PRrsos yoR
LryE.-In the Supreme Court of Boston,
Massachusetts,, yesterday, Edward Ovens
was sentenced for the murder of James
Munroe Sawyer. This is the case which
occurred some four or FIVE months ago.
A married woman, Eta Stanley, had re-
ceived the attention of Owens, but she
subsequently transferred her good wishes
to ayoung clerk named Sawyer. She and
Sawyer were together in the street, on tho
fatal evening, when Ovens and friend
came along. Ovens drew . knife aud
stabbed Sawyer in the neck, in fulfllment
of certain indirect threats previously
made. Young Sawyer died few days AZ
ter, and Ovens was arrested on the charge
of murder.
Ovens plead guilty to murder 10 the
second degree, thereby probably saving
himself from conviction under the charge
Of murder in the FIRST degree.
Ovens was quite pale when placed in
the dock. and received his sentence like
one in q dream, maDifesting no strong
emotion. When asked if he had nythine
to say be replied in the negative. Tbs
clerk read to him the sentence that he
was to be confined for his natural life at
hard labor in the Charlestown State pris-
on, the first day Of confinement to be SOL
itary.
He was then taken into the witness
seat, where, one after another, his weep-
ing relatives, both ladies and gentlemen
took brief but affecting farewells Of him
He is 22 years of age.
