reason why money cannot be borrowed,

Dcfrauding Insurance Companies

Aron Harris, who kept a cigar store
in New York, was, last week, upon con
viction of perjury, sent by Recorder
Hacket to the State prison for ten years
The crime which led to the punish m emit
of this prisoner was one who has Of
late been not unfrequent-an attempt to
defraud an insurance company. His
store was burned, and he made loim
upon the insurers Cor heavy loss, that he
had large amount of property in the
building. There were grave suspicious
that he had set fire to the store, but he
was only indicted for the perjury, of
which offence he was convicted. In
sentencing the prisoner tho recorder
said he had no doubt that he had CON
mitted both arson and perjury, and that
he had done both in order to successful
ly obtain money by fraud. The sen
tence imposed was to be ponalty oor
responding to the magnitude of the
crime, and was also intended to deter
others from the commission of similar
offences. Hence he imposed the long est
sentence permitted by the law for the
crime of perjury, of which the prison ner
had been convicted. '"1
