DEGRADING Insurance COMPANIES
Aaron Harris, who kept segar store in New
York, was, last week, upon conviction of per-
jury, sent, by Recorder Hackett, to the State
prison for ten years. The crime which led to
the punishment of this prisoner was one which
has, OF late, been not unfrequent-an attempt
TO defraud an insurance company. His store
was burned, and he made claim upon the insur-
ers for heavy loss, swearing that he had a large
amount of property in the building. There
were grave suspicious that he had set fire to the
store, but he was only convicted for the per-
jury, OF which he was convicted. In sentenc-
ing the prisoner the recorder said he had no
doubt that he had committed both arson and
perjury, and that he had done both in order to
successfully obtain money by fraud. The SEN
tence imposed was to be a penalty correspond
ing to the magnitude of the crime, and was also
intended to deter others from the commission
Of similar offences. Hence he imposed the
longest sentence permitted by the law for the
crime of perjury, of which the prisoner has
been convicted.
