SENTENCE OF SHAY FOR SENDING THREATESISG
LETTERS.
Judge Shaw, addressing Snay, remarked that
the offence with which be Ess charged was not

discharged from the employ Of one Of oar ium-

the carrying out Of the threats That, If a.

entirely aside in considering this case. By
pleading guilty, Snsy,-snd your plea was but
the natural result Of evidence furnishing clear

the Judge said he could not zee it to be his duty
to impose merely the limited fine which it would
be within the power Of respondent to pay, and
which st most would not cover quarter Of the
