Make 1t for Life.

During tho present term Of the
Howard County Court, man charg-
ed with grand larceny gave sstisfac
tory evidence that he was unable to
employ counsel, and Judge Brouse
appointed II. II Bennett, Esq. of
Kokomo, to defend him. Bennett,
after spending some time with his
client and in the examination of the
case, found that the guilt Of the sc-
cuscd would be clearly made out, a.d
persuaded him 70 plead guilty to pet
it larceny. The court refused to .ac
cept his plea, aud Bonuct arOse and
said:
"Woll, reckon We can plead gull.
ty to grand larceny"
eyes replied the Judge,
"Then wo plead guilty to grand
larceny" said Bennet,
"This being the case" said the
Judge, "it remains only for the Court
to Ak the penalty; and we shall hnc
you five dollars, sentence you to the
State prison for ten years, and dis
franchise you for-for-'
snake it for life, your honor" said
Bennet, looking at the Judge over
the top OF his spectacles, "tho pris-
oner's Democrat"
This brought down the whole bar
and shook the gravity Of the Court to
such al extent that the completion Of
the sentence was much delayed.
