| have already undergone, and the wreck it
makes of your fortune, we are disposed to be
morcifu and we trust that when you properly
consider the subject you will also come to the
conclusion that the Court were merciful in your
case, melting out to you certainly no more than
| you deserved.
The sentence Of the court is that YOU, Samuel
| Rogart, pay fine of three hundred $1,000 dol
| lars and the costs of prosecution; and that you
undergo imprisonment by separate and solitary
confinement at labor in the penitontiary for the
eastern district, for the term Of three years
and that you stand committed until this sentence
| is complied with; and that the sheriff conduct
you thither within ten days and be allowed one
assistant.
Peter A. and +. NJ. Kline were then brought
up, and after the Court had listened to eloduent
remarks on behalf Of the defendants by Col.
Freeze and Il. X. Ikelcr, the following sentence
was pronounced upon them:
You have been convicted of inActing maic-
| iously, unlawiully, grevious bodily harm upon
the person of Samuel Bogart. At the time
when this injury was inflicted, Samuel Bogart
was in the custody OF the law; he was bound,
under bonds of ten thousand (Sl0,0OO00) dol.
| lars, to appear here and answer the serious
charge of having taken the life of your father
| The law that held him in bonds was abundantly
able to vindicate itself without personal violence
at the hands of the relatives of the deceased
We are satisfied, clearly satisfied, with the YER
dict that the jury rendered and in that is inn
| piled conspiracy upon your parts to inllict
| this injury upon Samuel Bogart; it could not
| have been accomplished in any other manner
than by a previous agreement and understand
ing on your part in reference to it, and that
makes your ollense much greater than if it had
| been committed under any other circumstances.
| We are by no means satisfied that all the per-
sons, inmates of that family, who nave been in.
| introduced here rs witnesses were parties to any
such understanding are by no means salts
| fled that that was the case but that the matter
was planned by you and carried out, we think
was established so that the jury believed, and
ought to have believed it. There seems to have
been leud existing between your families, you,
the brotheIs-in-law, and Samuel Bogart. And
when he was placed in jeopardy, it would seem
| as though YOU sought and seized that OCCASION
when public opinion bore down upon him, to
| wroak your vengeance upon him. The defense
that you made as to the facts-that you could
not have been the guilty parties-wholly failed
before the jury and the introduction of some of
the evidence which was brought by you here to
exculpate yourselves shows that you were not
only capable of committing a crime, but also of
| reSorting to extreme measures to avoid the pen
atty.
And yet, considering all the circumstances of
the case, considering that the injury which you
inflicted was not of a lasting kind, (although the
Court instructed the iury-and we feel that we
