The case of Bill Brown, alias Hutchcraft,
was given the jury yesterday and verdict

John Kindred, charged with larceny, was
yesterday sentenced to five years imprison-
ment in the penitentiaTy. The parties who
owned the property said to have been
stolen, were willing TO withdraw the prose
cution as they had recovered possession OF
| their goods, and in his address to the jury
| the States Attorney intimated that the law
would be vindicated if the term were fixed
at the lowest limit-three years, but the
| Jury thought five years confinement would
be about right and so ordered. Kindred i:
| an intelligent young man, of good stand
| ing. and this is his first offence.
The case of Albert Powers, accused OF
killing Maurice Eagan, will probably bt

DAYS. Powers is very anxious to have hi!
case come to trial, so that he may know The
| worst. He has been confined in Jail nearly
| a year. during which time he has conduct
ed himself in such a way as TO win the re
gard of the Jail officials and his fellow pris
0ners. In speaking Of his case yesterday
he said that whisky had brought him 4
his present condition, and that if he liyet
to obtain his freedom, the first thing h
would do would be to take a solemn
pledge to never drink another drop of in
ioxicating liquor. He is naturally gen
erous. free hearted young man, who woul'
avoid a quarrel rather than seek one.
