2rlsonment which he imposed upon es Senator
William NJ. Graham, who had been recently
convicted OF embezzling about $4,000, TIL:
property of the Waikiki National Bank, of
which establishment he had been president
Judge Benedict, addressing the prisoner, said:
lhere are, indeed, no eHtenuating circum-
OF national bank, and as such you shamefuly
abused the confidence reposed in you, and stole
the capital of the bank to use in your own pri-
yate speculations. 1, therefore, feel justified in
inficting upon you the highest punishment
allowed by law. The sentence of the court is,
that you be imprisoned at hard labor for ten
wears in the Albany penitentiary." Horton
the cashier, who has been accused Of participa,
ting in the fraud, is a fugitive from justice.
